This Pub is Closed Long Term

This 17th century inn and former law court still keeps its traditional character despite a major refurbishment. It boasts excellent panoramic views over East Manchester towards Cheshire. There is seating outside with a large car park and is also well worth making the 15 minute walk up from the bus stop. The pub has a cosy atmosphere with three interconnecting rooms and a separate restaurant. Excellent food is served which complements the top quality ales, one of which is usually from the nearby Deeply Vale Brewery.

This pub is closed indefinitely due to staff shortages so the poster on one of the windows states

Historic Interest

Former Law Courts.
