Pub Advice

Northerner

Hi, I'm after a bit of advice please. Heading over to the North West at end of December and have decided to stop over in Accrington for a few hours. It will be a Sunday and looking for a pub that opens at 11.00 a.m, decent beer, pool table and will be ok with about 15 of us. We're old codgers in our 50's :)
Cheers in advance
 
You might struggle with finding a decent pub opening before 12:00 Northerner.

1st choice Peel Park on Turkey Street BB5 6EW
2nd choice Victoria on Manchester Road BB5 2NY

Commercial on Church St BB5 2EN is a Wetherspoons so opens early...beer of passable quality but no pool table.

Couple more, Crown Inn at Altham may open up early if you give them a call or the Forts Arms Lower Barnes St bottom end of Clayton.
Message me if you need any further details.
 
How does the Abbey slot into this ? I agree with Dthep - Peel Park is No 1. Pie n peas or sandwiches on offer.
 
Oh for the days when every bus stop on Route 1 ... Forts Arms to the Black Dog;) ... was a Pub. And even where it turned around at Bayley St. in Clayton there was a Pub ... The Village Blacksmith. And since when did fifty-year-olds become owd farts?:D

Is the Crown in Altham or are we not talking about the one at the football ground ?

Not sure what time Crown opens on Sunday's but it must be early because they do Sunday breakfast which I am told is very popular.

Looks like it's 9-30am until 1pm for breakfast on Sundays

Crown on Whalley Road LD by Accy Stanley. A moot point if it is in Altham or not.Altham West's border.
I had forgot they do breakfasts doh! and I was in there Friday night !!
Best ring Will or Emma there and give them advance warning of a party of 15 Northerner.

Just confused me, I thought there might have been another one :) I don't go to pubs much :)
 
Just a point, Northerner, if the Sunday at the end of December you have in mind is the 28th, the Crown will be somewhat rammed, until around 2.55 anyway!

Aha Stanley play Burton Albion Good point Mr H.....should be Ok early on... maybe Northerner and his muckers moves on to the Peel when it starts busying up or even go to the game?
Canine Club is another option in the afternoon.

Was just thinking to myself, DtheP47, that Northerner and his mob were actually Burton fans coming up for the match. Can't think of any other reason to make a trip to spend a dark winter Sunday afternoon in Accy! If that's the case, like yourself, I'd recommend the Peel Park. A crackin' pint and some historical interest for footy fans with Stanley's original ground being opposite and photos of matches at Peel Park on the walls of the games room.
 
Bit late in the day but yes its another great local complete with history.

The Grants since micro brewery went in is also popular and a nice place to chill over a good selection of LOCALLY PRODUCED ale. Lucky to have this in Accy.
