I was there that night watching Bernard :) used to go every weekend.
It were a bit of a rum place! The owners also had the Loose Goose at Westhoughton and the Ram's Head at Tarleton. All 'fun' pubs. I remember the monkey railroad as well. There was a club across the road as well - The Mirage.
Does anyone remember earlier when this place used to be the Black Horse Italian Restaurant?
I remember the black horse very well my friend's parents had their ruby wedding there and my son worked at Henry Africa's many years later
I remember the Black Horse, my brother was the chef there
