The Horn & Trumpet is a welcoming, family owned traditional pub and guest house situated on Dog Lane in the town centre. Originally built as a private residence, the historic building was converted into a public house in 1840 and now offers a comfortable, quirky environment following an extensive refurbishment. The interior features a main bar with traditional dark wood counters, a lounge area with light wood panelling, and a small snug decorated with vintage signs.
The bar is well regarded for its selection of drinks, offering a fine range of real ales including regulars like Bathams Best Bitter, alongside premium lagers, ciders, and spirits. It is a lively venue with a strong focus on entertainment, featuring a pool table, live music events, and screens showing major live sporting events through Sky Sports. While it does not serve a full restaurant hot food menu, visitors can enjoy excellent bar snacks including locally sourced pies from the Wyre Pie Company, sausage rolls, and scotch eggs.
Outside, the property boasts an attractive, enclosed courtyard beer garden that provides a fantastic spot to relax during the summer months. For those visiting the area, the pub offers six well appointed en suite guest bedrooms equipped with free wireless internet, televisions, and hot drink facilities. The accommodation is highly practical for active visitors, providing secure storage for bicycles, golf bags, and fishing equipment.
