We are a true community pub owned and run by locals, appreciated by all visitors as being a cut above the usual chains.

The Hinge has recently seen its facilities and furnishings improved to make it a more comfortable place to be, but great care was taken to ensure all of the pub's character was retained.

The pub is fully independent and is run to benefit those who drink in it. The prices and the various events held there reflect this.

The main clientele who use the pub are people who value a community pub where you can drink in a relaxed atmosphere, this includes:

• Haydock Park racegoers (the racecourse being less than a mile/10 minute stroll     from the pub)
• Small groups of away fans visiting one of the North West teams of Man Utd, Man City, Everton, Wigan, Liverpool etc – all of which are approx 30 minutes away.
• Anyone wanting a game of darts, pool or dominoes or just to watch a variety of sporting events on the various large screen TVs. We have Sky Sports, BT Sport and The Racing Channel on regularly (some may say too regularly!).
