Got some friends coming over from Hunslet for their first trip to the LSV. They are possibly going to do a few pubs around town and are "Real Ale" drinkers.
I haven't been around town for ages...what are the best real ale pubs in Leigh? pref nearer to the ground if possible.

Thanks in Advance

I am in Leigh matchdays.

In the Town centre I can only think of three.


Weatherspoons Boars Head and the Goose.

Thanks Frank, I have suggested the "Centurion" to them as well although I haven't been in, I've heard some decent reports.
I want to make sure they don't leave Leigh disappointed.

Dont think they do real ale in the Centurion matey it is ok in there though, plus free lobby on. as Frank says Goose is good for real ale hope they enjoy themselves.

Leigh rugby union club has won the CAMRA award again this year quality real ale in there

Never thought of there Saley...You don't have to be a member or owt daft like that do you??

They usually have Bombardier on, at least, in the Litten Tree as well. Plus you have the benefit of not having to put up with FrankB like you do in the Goose!

I did not know about Bombadier in the Litten Tree might drop by and beat him up next home game.

And if I bump into him at the Dewsbury game I shall refuse to talk to him.lol.

Care full Frank he's bigger than you.

Waterside is quite good - they have my fav Old Speckled Hen. They used to not like football/rugby shirts tho

No good for us then as we always wear our colours.

I`ve been in the Waterside on matchdays.......The Pie friendly last year was full of folks from both teams in their colours/shirts.

Ok cheers matey will still stick to the Goose though.

They will be more than welcome at Leigh RU (they may have to sign in but it'll be no problem at all)

As our Stef said the club got CAMRA club of the year again this year. Usually have at least 3 different real ales on. Good atmosphere aswell on a Saturday!
