An old inn given new life, set in the historic area of Didsbury Green. It appears to be two large houses joined together, it has a well-appointed L-shaped interior, with a rather grand outside drinking area at the rear. Muted colours, low ceilings, and a mix of furniture create areas for dining, lounging, and simply drinking. An interesting bar is on the right side of the main high-ceilinged part of the pub; the back of the bar features a collection of mirrors. A snug at the front affords a more intimate experience. The current range of ales may be increased, so keep your eyes open for interesting newcomers on the bar. Occasional beer festivals were a feature.

Historic Interest

Historically, this operated as a Loch Fyne fish restaurant, then in June 2011 owners, Greene King, converted it back to mainstream pub-restaurant use.
