The Horse & Jockey has been around since the early 1800s but in 2009 it saw a massive transformation under new owner Peter Dalton.

The new owners oversaw a complete refurbishment of the pub inside and out and a return to a traditional three-room operation: a tap room, a snug and a lounge (although there are no doors). The bar was relocated central to the pub. The terrace on The Green was transformed, with heated and lit canopied tables, neat rows of planters and hanging baskets galore. The terrace was further enhanced with a new glass canopy in 2011. Most significantly an extensive food operation was introduced with a new restaurant dining room offering full table service. The refurbishment also saw a return to real ale with a new cellar dedicated to ale.

October 2010 saw the launch of the pub's newly installed microbrewery, The Bootleg Brewing Company located in the base of the pub's original tower brewery. Although not accessible to the public, the old brewing vessels are still present in the tower.

In 2012 the pub and brewery were sold to family brewer Joseph Holt. The brewery at the pub has been retained but many beers under the Bootleg Brewing brand are now produced at Joseph Holt's brewery in Cheetham Hill.

A range of events are organised in the pub. The pub hosts a market and craft fair on Chorlton Green several times a year. Every other Wednesday hosts The Paint Republic art class.

Second Wednesday of the month features live music on Acoustic night. Sundays from 8pm is Quiz night. A range of special events is also organised from Halloween specials to Easter Egg hunts.
