The Bellflower
The historical Bellflower, previously called the XL, was opened in 1930 by Catterall & Swarbrick Brewery and was once in the Guiness Book Of Records for the pub with the shortest name. Today The Bellflower has been acquired and beautifully refurbished by JW Lees Brewery and has reopened, continuing to be a much loved family-friendly and dog-friendly pub, serving up delicious home cooked food alongside a range of award winning beers.
For cask ale lovers, we serve JW Lees Bitter, Manchester Pale Ale and a number of seasonal beers throughout the year. We also pour both Manchester Craft Lager and Original Lager, perfect in our large beer garden and a selection of small-batch Boilerhouse beers; great for a relaxing pint by the fire.
Our new menu features pub classics including the Brewery Tower Burger and John Willie’s beer battered fish and chips, alongside seasonal specials. On Sundays we offer roasts with all the trimmings, bottomless gravy and unlimited Yorkshire puddings.

During the festive period our pub will serve up a special festive menu, featuring traditional fare with turkey, pigs and blankets and sprouts a-plenty. Our seasonal and hugely loved Plum Pudding Ale makes its yearly appearance to much celebration.
