History: 13/6/2011 renamed as the Sozzled Sausage (being originally the Penny Black). As the Penny Black, it was the most recent addition to Cheadle Hulme village. The former Warren Road GPO local sorting and parcel distribution office had been extended and converted to a modern, Smith & Jones bar, somewhat along the lines of JD Wetherspoon. Attracted a mainly young customer base; however the presence of real ale may have been an encouragement for a few older customers. There was a covered outdoor area at the front. The architect had made full use of the height of the existing building while providing a staircase to give access to first floor toilets in the extension alongside. Popular when first opened, it then settled to a steady trade.
