An absolutely wonderful tour of both Mills and an opportunity to see the machinery working. This is an absolute must if you are in the area. Wonderful value too. It is closed for the winter season but private tours ( which we had) can be arranged. Lovely friendly staff too #JustDoIt!

The only thing to say about Casked is it's great. Mike & Amanda are brilliant hosts, doing a great job under the present post lockdown rules. All their staff are excellent and the selection of beers and spirits is second to none. Rawtenstall is now a destination town and Casked is its flagship.

Friendly staff and Excellent service. The one way system tot accommodate social distancing for Covid 19 was easy to follow and seemed to be respected by all of the visiting public. The cabinets and displays in the antique centre are excellently laid out and it is easy to get a member of staff to unlock them so you can view the antiques and collectables. The prices are very good and there is an excellent range of antiques and collectables a very good standard with prices to suit most pockets!!!

Sat outside in the sun waiting for the train and was easily tempted to have a pint. Had to ask if prices on the board outside were for a half or pint- dirt cheap compared to down south. Served with a smile, very Covid safe , recommended whether or not you are catching the train
