Ye Olde Hob Inn

Nice oldy worldy looking pub a couple of well kept cask ales available. Friendly staff

Nice historical pub.

The Battle of Bamber Bridge occurred on June 24-25, 1943, during World War II. It involved a confrontation between African American soldiers of the U.S. Army's 1511th Quartermaster Truck Regiment and white military police and civilians in Bamber Bridge, Lancashire, England. This incident arose partly due to tensions between the racially segregated U.S. military units stationed in the area. Ye Olde Hob Inn, a historic pub in Bamber Bridge, played a role in the events surrounding the Battle of Bamber Bridge. It is believed that some of the African American soldiers involved in the confrontation had visited the pub prior to the incident. While the exact details are unclear, the presence of black soldiers in the pub during a time of racial segregation likely contributed to the tensions that led to the conflict. Though the pub itself was not directly involved in the battle, its connection to the events of that night adds to its historical significance in the local community. Today, Ye Olde Hob Inn stands as a reminder of the complex history of Bamber Bridge during World War II and the ongoing struggle for racial equality.

This pub has a village look to it. Popped in on a Saturday evening for a quick drink - not too busy this time but have seen it packed out, particularly outside, previously. Bar immediately in front of you with spaces to left and right - long and thin. The beer was Moretti; as it should be. Service quick and efficient. Wanted to play on a machine. Only seemed to have one of older, mechanical, gaming machines so moved on in search of Thai Princess or Rise of Anubis - something a bit more modern. Nice outdoor area for the summer.

Service was slow, staff ok but the food was terrible, we will not return

Food is excellent lovely pub
