The Trackside

Good selection and good prices. Could do with a few more seats though. We had a few drinks there while waiting for the East Lancs steam train. There is a bit of a battle to get your own table as there are more people going on the train than spaces in the pub itself. Had a really nice IPA there. Have not tried the food though.

I had the most incredible time at the music event held on the station platform of the steam railway. The unique setting added a nostalgic charm to the experience, with the steam trains chugging in the background. The friendly staff made the event even more enjoyable, ensuring everyone had a great time. The well-priced bar was a pleasant surprise, offering a variety of drinks to suit everyone's taste. The combination of live music, vintage ambiance, and attentive staff created a truly unforgettable evening that I can't wait to experience again.

Recently had a refurb with new tables and chairs inside and out by the track. A great stop for a catch up. Many guest beers on tap. Cyclists welcome. So they must of had a revamp because the menu is out of this world I had the bury black pudding stack with peppercorn sauce, absolutely melt in the mouth. Nice warm atmosphere and very helpful staff.

27/05/23: Wartime 1940's weekend. It's a busy one! Lots of nostalgia and of course great beer! 14/11/22: Another visit, another pint. We had the First Chop Brewery: Jam mango pale, 4%, Ossett Brewery: Treacle Stout, 7% and a Gammon & Cheese Sandwich [photo update] 27/10/22: review & photo update. Had a lovely lunch today. 2 courses for £9.95. I had the black pudding stack, crispy bacon and peppercorn sauce on a muffin and homemade cheese & onion pie with homecooked chips and beans! She had the chicken liver pate, red onion chutney, leaves & toast, and also went for the homemade cheese & onion pie. For drinks we had Bowland Brewery: Retriever, 3.8% and Fuggle Bunny Brewery: 24 Carrot IPA, 6%. Archie slept through most of it, but enjoyed a bowl of United Utilities: H2O, 0% August 2022: photo update, following another lovely visit. Always a great choice of keg, cask and bottle, plus ciders. Food was excellent too and even Archie had a personal visit from the Chef, with a handful of best sausage. We had a Sausage Sandwich; pork sausage served in a ciabatta, with caramelised onion gravy and tomato chutney and Lancashire Cheese & Ham Sandwich; tasty Lancashire cheese, roast ham and tomato chutney on white bread, served with dressed leaves. Also had Proper Chips each! The Trackside Bar, situated on Platform 2, Bury Bolton Street Station. Renovated, freshened up, new & improved. As if things couldn't get any better. Fantastic selection of Cask & Keg Ales, Ciders, Perries, Stouts & of course Pub Grub. Stunning setting on the old platform of the East Lancashire Railway. A bar, and so much more! Nostalgia, history, events and also quite simply, a meeting place for friends! CAMRA pub of the year 2022.
