These licensed premises numbered 53-55 Yorkshire Street, were purpose built in 1969 for Lloyds Bank. The bank occupied the site of two shops, part of a long-standing parade. Number 53 had also been a bank. Number 55 was the photographic studio of the unusually named Squire Knott. Knott moved into 55 Yorkshire Street in c1858. Nearly twenty years later, he took a series of photographs of Oldham; this series has recently been digitised and made into a panorama, prominently displayed in Gallery Oldham (in Greaves Street). Knott's studio and picture-framing business were taken over by his son, Alfred, in c1895. He continued taking and framing photographs at 55 Yorkshire Street for another thirty years. It was Squire Knott who took a series of photographs of Oldham; this series has recently been digitised and made into a panorama, prominently displayed in Gallery Oldham (in Greaves Street). Opened in 2002, the council-owned, award-winning gallery is a short walk from the premises.

We’re open from 8am (some even earlier!) for breakfast and serve Italy’s favourite coffee – Lavazza. Our full menu is available until 10pm every evening, with our famous Curry Club on a Thursday night, where thousands join us for a great curry and a drink, for an even greater price. We also have Steak Club on a Tuesday and Sunday Club on, well a Sunday so it's the perfect excuse to visit us!

Our drinks range is constantly evolving – we’ve just introduced new drinks, including Bacardi 8-year Rum and Cazadores Reposado Tequila. We also have all of the ‘big names’, such as Absolut, Smirnoff, Budweiser and Guinness.

Real ale is something with which we’re very proud to be associated. In every pub, we always have a range of ales to choose from, sourcing guest ales from over 600 local breweries every year. We have two annual beer festivals, along with lots of local pub events, across Britain. Over 200 of our pubs are featured in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide – something we’re very proud of.
