The pub just up the road from the station at Heywood isn't too bad, but on our first visit a couple of years ago we walked into Heywood and found a pub which served food. The food was okay but we had to endure a few comments from some of the regulars about 'trainspotting', which was a bit offputting to say the least.
Been looking on the web for pubs in the Irwell valley and the best that I've found so far is the 'Railway Hotel' in Ramsbottom, which can be seen from the train. I mentioned this particular pub to my mate as we were on the train in Ramsbottom station but he was adamant that we would have a better choice in Rawtenstall. Next time, I'm making the decision. Off the train at Rammy and into the 'Railway'.
