Good Pub Guide Recommended
Bustling pub with interesting food, real ales, a friendly welcome and relaxed atmosphere
The various rooms here, connected by open doorways, are cleverly done up in a mix of modern rustic and traditional styles. There are beams and open fires, antique dining chairs (some prettily cushioned) and settles around all sorts of tables, rugs on pale floorboards, prints and paintings on contemporary paintwork and decorative items ranging from a grandfather clock to staffordshire dogs and modern lampshades. Merlin The Wizard, Ringwood Razorback and Storm Brain Storm on handpump, 11 wines by the glass and farm cider; background music and board games. There are seats and tables in the sizeable back garden and the pub is just a few minutes from lovely walks along Alderley Edge (a dramatic red sandstone escarpment with fine views). This is part of the Ainscoughs group.
Bar food times: 12-2.450, 6-9; 12-9 Sat; 12-7 Sun
