An old coaching inn high on the moors above Littleborough, with good food and three guest taps as well as the regular Theakston bitter. The White House is nestled at the top of Blackstone Edge, 1,300 feet above sea level. It commands a fantastic view over the whole Manchester conurbation down below (magical at night) whilst its backdrop is bleak moorland, with the Pennine Way passing close by. There’s a small snug where you can just enjoy a drink – one man reputedly gets the bus up from Littleborough every evening for that very purpose – but the main attraction is the food, which is superb and excellent value for money. The guest beers usually offer something new and there’s a good atmosphere. (Last visited 20 October 2011).
