The Pub at Holland Hall Hotel

Tucked away in the beautiful grounds of Holland Hall, our Victorian pub is a hidden gem brimming with warmth, character and local charm.  Whether you're after a hearty Sunday roast, a light lunch on the terrace, or a pint by the fire with your dog at your feet, The Pub at Holland Hall has it all.  It's dog-friendly, so bring your friends, your family or just your four-legged pooch and soak up the atmosphere.

With original oak floors, a glowing central fireplace and a large suntrap beer garden that creates the perfect backdrop for everything from casual drinks to celebratory dinners.  Whether you're catching up over craft beers or treating yourself to something special from the daily changing specials board, there's always a warm welcome waiting.  When it comes to food, The Pub don't do ordinary.  Expect fresh, flavoursome dishes that make the most of locally sourced produce.  From tempting nibbles and light lunches to hand-stretched stone-baked pizzas, seasonal specials and indulgent Sunday lunches, serveing traditional pub food with a delicious twist.  And with a Sunday market menu accompanied by live music from a rotating line-up of talented artists, your weekends are about to get a whole lot tastier.

​​​​​The bar is just as exciting as the kitchen.  Whether you fancy a crisp glass of wine, a perfectly poured pint of award-winning Guinness, or something a little more adventurous, like a craft gin or small-batch rum, there's drink to match the moment.  Hand-pulled cask ales are always a hit with locals and visitors alike, great pints that pair perfectly with good company.

Got a dog?  Bring them along.  Welcoming wagging tails with open arms, biscuit treats and fresh water bowls.  Whether you’re stopping in mid-walk or settling in for the evening, your pooch will love the relaxed vibe just as much as you do.  The beer garden is ideal for sunny afternoons, while the log fire offers the ultimate cosy retreat when the weather turns. 

The Pub is surrounded by some of the best trails in the area.  Explore the rolling hills of Upholland, stretch your legs around Orrell and Billinge, or tackle the Beacon for panoramic views.  Perfectly placed for a proper ramble, followed by a rewarding pint.  And if you're feeling adventurous, Liverpool, Manchester and Southport are all just a short train ride away.

More than just a great pub, it's part of the story of Holland Hall itself.  Following a careful and respectful restoration, the Hall retains its original period charm while offering modern comforts throughout.  A fascinating piece of history, the building has even revealed hidden priest holes from centuries past.  These special touches connect the present to a rich and intriguing past, giving every visit a sense of timeless character.  Whether you’re in the mood for a laid-back lunch, live music, or simply a quiet pint with your dog, The Pub at Holland Hall is the perfect place to enjoy the things that matter, great food, great drinks and great company.  Loved by locals and cherished by visitors, it’s where memories are made, stories are shared and weekends just feel that little bit better.

Open Thursday to Sunday and always dog-friendly.  Whether it’s a quick stop after a walk or an evening meal, booking is recommended but not essential.
