It's a while since I've been out in Rawtenstall but I'm aware there's plenty of new places. Any recommendations? Cheers

Northern Whisper Tap Room always a great stop. The market has plenty of good street food options as well and you can sit out there with a pint.

The market is spot on, been to the Greek and Indian and both are licensed. Northern Whisper next door.

There is Casked opp the fire station, they have one in Rammy , it is a bit like an American dinner inside but the beer is good.

Never been but have driven past it a few times, Jackson’s Bar on Bacup Rd near the cricket club.

There’s always the bar on the station.

A few good small bars opened up down that cobbled street, is it Bank Street ?

They're ok anyway.

Yes Northern Whisper good.

Market, Jackson’s Bar, Casked and Buffer Stops are all decent.

Very nice place now is Rawtenstall,growing up the centre was a bit of a dump but most definitely upmarket now.i would imagine the house prices have gone up a notch are two also.Its all very nice but don’t expect much change out of £15 for two drinks in the line of northern whisper if your Mrs is on gins etc.£6 a pint in these type of places.

Great list above, though would absolutely not describe Casked as "American diner" decor? It's got botihs on one side and tables on the next like a normal bar haha. Great spot and owner is a gent.

Northern Whisper always a good pint. They have the majority of their main been on cask and well as draught. Get a NZ NEIPA on caske, bloody lovely.

Food from the market to match. Great Friday night.

White Bull and Masons in Crawshawbooth have decent ale if coming from Burnley and need a pit stop.

Kind of surprised Rawtenstall doesnt have a Wetherspoons, although im not sure where they would put one

Posted: **Fri Aug 30, 2024 3:41 pm**

The old Unit 4 cinema would make a cracking wetherspoons and it's opposite the bus station also

While most places are too classy for a Spoons , It’s not often you’d ever hear “ Classy “ and “ Rawtenstall “ in the same sentence ! Though it was always the “ decent looking one” in the Rossy Triumvirate , and great to see some decent ish new bars getting a foothold . Hellishly hard to turn a passable profit on mainly wet sales even with trendy prices.

It certainly beats the fistfights and brawls of The Queens, Sun and Crown that’s for sure .

If you want to try a few out walk from the Market to the fire station along Bank Street but if you want to stay in one place and eat the Whitchaff is a Robinsons pub on Bury Road

Rawtenstall is a stunning little town nowadays my favourite bars are The Hop & Casked,the couple who run
Casked are lovely hosts they also have a Casked in Ramsbottom ....I love my trips home,Asda is still an eyesore though whoever gave permission for that carbuncle smack in the town center needs a slap.

Posted: **Fri Aug 30, 2024 4:29 pm**

Cheers all. We've done Buffer Stops and Casked so far

Hop has a nice sun trap outdoor area downstairs at the back too. Jackson’s usually has TT’s Landlord on.

Well besides ASDA you could add putting the fire station in the middle of a roundabout on an island where 5 roads and three streets lead to it was pretty poor planning too. Mind traffic has really increased in the last few years and is now a blight on the town. Pity because the town otherwise, despite being overbuilt has plenty to offer.

The Bermuda Triangle....super nights in those 3 pubs back in the 70s/80s...strangely the worst of the 3 is the only one that remains albeit under another disguise.

My other half manages the Casked at Rammy. She makes a great pizza and they're half price on a Wednesday, 2 for 1 on a Sunday so just a fiver per pizza. Top beer too

Rawtenstall hasn’t got a population large enough for a Wetherspoons.

The Guzzling Pig on Kay Street is a nice bar also ...
