We are blackstone
Blackstone Tavern & Kitchen is the new chapter in the story of The Moorcock — a Lancashire landmark brought to life once more with fresh energy, good food, and the kind of welcome only a true country pub can offer.
Our management team is led by Ben Boothman, who has been steeped in hospitality for more than three decades. Having grown up running the corridors of The Flying Horse in Rochdale since 1989, he later went on to guide much-loved places like The Baum, Hare on the Hill, and Bombay Brew. That experience and passion now flows into the Blackstone: a blend of heritage, community spirit, and a modern kitchen that’s not afraid to innovate.
This is a place shaped by history, but built for today — where tradition meets creativity, and every guest feels like part of the story.
The Moorcock, reborn. Heritage served with heart.
