Nikki said: "Our first weekend was amazing and overwhelming.
"The bar was busy on all three days and we received excellent feedback on our beers, the venue and business model.
"We have six cask and eight keg lines serving beers from our own local brewery and rotating guests.

Also just gone on tap is Handsome Pat from Doncaster Brewery.
If you prefer a spirit, Double Slingsby Rhubarb Gin and Ginger Ale priced at £3.50 is also on the menu as is draught cider or wine.
The brewery doesn't serve food but allows customers to bring in their own from any of the local food outlets to enjoy with their pint, and is open every morning from 10am until 9pm Sunday to Wednesday and until 11pm Thursday to Saturday.

"The town is on the up and people are starting to come from out of town for the amazing choice of craft and real ale bars. Also the thriving market and food stalls and restaurants are making Chorley a really good venue.
"We have Chorley pub festival coming up on St George's weekend in April with several pubs involved and it's going to be great and we'll be launching a new beer for the festival."
The pub is also looking for potential staff in different areas of the business and Nikki says anyone who is interested or wants further information should pop in for a chat with their CV.
