The Halal Inn is Britain's first alcohol free inn. It was designed for Muslims. It is located in Oldham, Lancashire and opened in December 2007. It is owned by Azizur Rahman and Muzahid Khan. They bought and converted the Westwood Inn to the Halal Inn. The bar serves soft drinks, fruit juice, non-alcoholic spritzers, tea, and coffee but no alcohol. The Halal Inn was created for Muslim customers who adhere to strict Islamic law and do not like to frequent pubs that serve alcohol.
The inn also is home to a restaurant that serves traditional Asian and Middle Eastern food such as poppadoms, chicken pakora, seekh kebabs and the lamb dish saag gosht. There is also a steam room and a prayer room. They play exotic music in the background but they do not have any TVs. Patrons can play snooker, darts, and Karam. The inn runs a snooker league, a Karem league, and a monthly Islamic quiz night. Although the customers are predominantly male and Muslim, people of all backgrounds can frequent the inn.
