The Brown Cow, Horwich

To be fair, even if I don't go that often the beer has been fine when I do, and it is proper real ale. Best pub? Probably not, but if you're into pool, reasonable real ale and an older clientele it's definitely worth a look.

The Bowling Green, Horwich

Still keeping up its consistent high standard. Top quality beer and prices. Good mixed crowd. Cute and attentive bar staff. They even have mild on now, although by the time I'm old enough to consider drinking that, we'll all probably be drinking syntha-hol on Mars.

Original Bay Horse, Horwich

Decidedly average. In the space of a year it's gone from a deserved entry in the Real Ale guide to some people considering buying keg, bottled or *shudder* lager instead! The beer isn't off - it's just very poor. The chav element has reduced a bit of late, but unless the beer and atmosphere improves quickly the Bowling Green will be a better bet, despite the noise and chav ratio.
