Vinehop, Poynton

Wine, bottled beer shop and micropub.

A wine-shop, bottled-beer shop and pub, all in one. Originally located in the ex-butcher’s shop but now extended into adjacent former bank premises.

Entering the shop, you’re straight into the wine display, where, to the centre right, there’s a small seating area, behind which is one of those wine-dispense units which allows wine to be served direct from the bottle into various glass sizes while not allowing the wine in the bottle to deteriorate.

As you move towards the rear, there’s a counter/server along your right and at the far end of the counter is the beer dispense unit. Pass the counter and you’ll end up in another small seated area at the back of the shop.

No cask beer but it features 5 changing kegs from craft breweries the length and breadth of the country, and covering all styles. They will even stock Belgian beers on draught.

There’s also a wide ranging bottled beer selection, including bottle-conditioned beers (Real Ale in a bottle).

To Eat: Small bowls & plates as well as olives, gourmet crisps, etc.

Tables can be booked by phone or email.

If you are travelling by public transport, don't leave the toilet stop till the last minute!
