Traditional country pub on the Whitmore Estate located on the busy A53 at Whitmore.

Inside, the pub has been extensively refurbished in 2021, but still retains the classic country inn feel with a cosy real fire.

Three house real ales are available - Mainwaring Best Bitter (brewed by Weetwood), Whitmore Gold (brewed by Salopian) and Admirals IPA (brewed by Weetwood). A guest ale may also be available.

Upstairs are two private dining areas that can be pre-booked.

There is a large car park on the opposite side of the road and the bus stop is right outside. Take care if crossing the busy road.

Well behaved dogs are welcome, and horse tie-up points outside.

NB the name is pronounced "mannering".

Historic Interest

Built around 1850, the pub is on the Whitmore Estate, and is near to Whitmore Hall, the seat of the Cavanagh-Mainwaring Family, who named the Mainwaring Arms after their famous ancestor Admiral Rowland Mainwaring.
