A modern bar in the historic Goose Green area which has become a centre for small bars and restaurants. It is the brewery tap for Dunham Massey brewery. There are seven handpumps serving a variety of Dunham Massey cask ales. Keg beers and cider tend to be from the Heineken stable.

Situated in modern retail units, the bar was extended into the adjacent unit and refurbished in late 2022. It has smart clean décor with a mixture of low & high level free standing tables & chairs. There are sheltered outside tables for smokers and the summer months facing onto Goose Green square. The square outside and the access to it from Denmark Street was fully pedestrianised in 2025.

May close earlier than stated times if quiet. May stay open later on Thursdays if busy.

First Monday of the month is Quiz Night: see their Facebook page for latest details on question topics and the size of the "Killer Pot"!

Occasional live music on Saturday evenings.

Winner of Trafford & Hulme CAMRA Pub of The Year for 2012 & 2013 and runner up on numerous occasions since.

It is one of four Dunham Massey Brewery pubs located in Altrincham, Lymm, Stockton Heath and Warrington Times Square. Catch the Warrington Own Buses #5 bus and tour all four!
