Formerly the Lord Nelson this is a traditional local housed in a 200-year old building.

There is an unusual rail around the pub wall consisting of two strips of wood and mirror creating an unusual effect. There is a TV in the small area to the right of the entrance and a pool table at the far end of the pub. There are no frills here and although this pub is one of a dying breed. A refurbishment in 2020 has cleaned and brighten the pub but it has not lost any of its character. The current revitalisation of Chapel Street will lead hopefully to a brighter future.

Large pub at the centre of Worsley village overlooking the Bridgewater Canal. It was refurbished in early 2018, the main change being the shortening of the long bar to enable provision of more seating. There are a number separate areas and alcoves. Emphasis is on food but there is no problem just going in for a pint as there is a pool table and also raised seating area with TV screens at the rear of the pub to the left hand side of the bar.
