The Crown Hotel, Standish

This pub is great, our favourite. The real ales on offer at any one time cover any shade a discerning drinker could ask for as well as a range in strengths. The food is extremely good, with a variety of specials on the starter and mains menus, including some great fish offerings, plus a good fixed price menu and a-la-carte, not forgetting the butchers block! Aspull's cider, Cruzcampo and a European beer on tap (weissbeer, dunkel etc) along with the "standard" offerings for the unadventurous. Also available behind the bar is a selection of international bottled beers, ask to see the beer menu! Beer festivals twice a year. Heartily recommended! Sun deck terrace out the back is nice on a sunny day, accommodation is comfortable and for a little extra a great cooked breakfast awaits you after your night's rest.
