Hidden away behind St Edward's church, this is a friendly village pub, partially divided into two areas by virtue of the original fireplace. Close to the Flint Mill Museum, there is a outdoor patio area to the front, and an enclosed beer garden to the rear. The guest beers can come from a wide range of breweries, including micro-breweries far and wide. Recently refurbished in the modern rustic style, the pub is now very much at the heart of the local community. It's come to our attention that some satnavs have a knack of bypassing the pub so god forbid our customers are getting lost! Here's some simple directions... On the main A520 Stone-Leek road through Cheddleton, across from the Red Lion is Hollow Lane (signposted No Access to A53 via Park Lane). Take the turning up the hill for approximately 100yrds and the pub is set back on your right directly across from the church. Parking is limited so customers are requested to park respectfully and not causing any obstruction to other customers or local residents. Snacks are always available during non food service times such as large pork pies & cheese and crackers.
