The Thatched House is a public house on Ball Street in the English market town of Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire. A former coaching inn, it stands adjacent to the churchyard of St Chad's, at the corner of Chapel Street. A tavern, believed to have been called the Green Man, [1] was on the site in 1793, and may have been built in the Middle Ages. [2]
The pub, which is owned by Mitchells & Butlers, was named Campaign for Real Ale's branch Pub of the Year in 2016. [3]
In 2019, the pub was refurbished, including the addition of a roof terrace and an improvement to the pub's Chapel Street Brew House microbrewing facility, [3] which was started in 2014. [4] It is housed in the building's old coaching sheds. [5]
Today's building was completed in 1907, [5] replacing an earlier structure which was oriented facing Chapel Street. Nicholas Charnock was the first landlord of the new construction. [6]
The pub is one of 32 buildings in the town's Conservation Area. [7]
