The Horse And Jockey is further down towards the centre of Heywood on the same side of the A58 and the third of our pubs in a row to have survived.
Unfortunately the Horse And Jockey is pretty horrible. It's meagrely-stocked, drably painted, untidy and shabby. The floor is filthy, the seating on its last legs and the toilets unspeakable. The clientele on a Saturday tea-time were reasonably civilised but the two bar staff particularly the foul mouthed female were as rough as they come. The board outside laughably claims it is a friendly family local but the statement above it about CCTV inside and out gives a better hint as to what it's like.
What it has got going for it is a decent looking chippy just behind it but I would wander down from the Hark To Towler rather than pop in this one.
