After a period of closure this attractive pub reopened in May 2019. It is situated on the Middlewood Way, which is the old Marple to Bollington railway line, now used by walkers and cyclists.. The new partner running the pub is Simon, who is well known to Poynton residents from his time as Poynton Sports Club steward. The recent refurbishment has created a rustic bistro like set up, with the layout of the bar and lounge areas being switched. Real ale is a prominent feature, with 3 ales on handpump all sourced from SIBA breweries; there are also several large beer fonts on both bars.

Information for this venue is provided by the High Peak, Tameside & North East Cheshire Branch of CAMRA
