This pub in the countryside on the outskirts of Altrincham is ideal for walkers, cyclists and family get togethers and birthday parties. It suits both the young and mature! There is plenty of outdoor seating for summer use or you can sit inside amongst old beams and open fires in the winter. Part of the Chef and Brewer chain, it is primarily a food led establishment offering good food at all times of the day. There are often items that are a little bit different on the menu, along with the usual pub favourites. You can still sit at the bar and just enjoy a drink. If you are there for a meal, full table service is available. Sunday roasts include a vegetarian Mushroom Wellington, and there's a cheaper Lunch menu from 12 to 4 p.m., Mondays to Saturdays.
