First visited : 1 October 2011
This pub is even further into Bury but is still regarded as belonging there to the extent that it has now been re-named the Top Bull in recognition of its nickname. I doubt any of the residents in the nearby houses put Breightmet in their addresses.
It's actually a much nicer pub than its lower counterpart , clean and tidy with friendly bar staff. It's relatively spacious with a lounge area to the left of the bar and a games area to the right. The roof beams look original and the walls are nicely decorated with some interesting prints. It's at the start of the least populated stretch of the A58 between Bolton and Bury with a couple of farms and a car park behind it. When I went in this lunchtime it was pretty deserted though there was one miserable-looking guy at the bar who was muttering something about his father to a companion who showed no signs of any interest in the matter. It's one of the few we've looked at recently that I'd willingly revisit.
