Nestled in the picturesque village of Limbrick near Rivington Valley, The Black Horse Pub is one of Lancashire’s most storied venues. With a history dating back to 1066, roaring log fires, scenic riverside views, and a reputation for warm, welcoming service, this landmark country pub is set for a new chapter under Luxe Hospitality Group’s management.
Reviving a Heritage Pub in Chorley
The Black Horse Pub is a true piece of British pub heritage, officially licensed in 1577 and said to have hosted Oliver Cromwell during the Battle of Preston. Set on what was once the original A6 route, it has been a gathering place for weary travellers and locals for centuries. Today, it remains a community cornerstone, with rustic interiors, low-beamed ceilings, flagged floors, and a cosy country atmosphere that makes it a favourite for both locals and visitors.
Danial Thompson, Director at Luxe Hospitality Group, shares:
“The Black Horse Pub represents everything we value—heritage, community, and exceptional service. We are excited to breathe new life into this historic venue while preserving its authentic countryside character.”

More than just a pub, The Black Horse offers:
-
Scenic views of Rivington Valley and the River Yarn from its tranquil beer garden.

Traditional British cuisine with a modern twist, featuring locally sourced, seasonal ingredients.
-
A warm, family-friendly and dog-friendly atmosphere with real fires in winter and sun-soaked spaces in summer.

Guests can enjoy hearty British classics, Sunday roasts, and a wide selection of cask ales, craft beers, and wines, making The Black Horse Pub a destination for food lovers, countryside walkers, and pub enthusiasts alike.
