A popular free house with the local branch. The Wharf, on Brook Street. was closed for some time before being purchased by Chris Stairmand, formerly of the Hollins, but at the end of 2025 he sold the pub. The central bar has been painted to reference a narrow-boat (the Wharf is just down the road from the Macclesfield marina) and around it there is both a cosy ‘snug’-type area, (carpet, a real stove in the fireplace, lined by shelves laden with books and games) and a more open wood-floored area with space for darts, pool, live music nights, and a large screen TV, which does not impinge on the front part of the pub. There are four guest beers on handpumps from, sometimes nationwide, but more often local beers. A dark beer and a gold are always on. There is also a real cider or perry and a wide range of English and foreign bottled beers, wheat beers, and now gluten-free beers.

Cheshire pub of the year 2013, Branch Pub of the Year 2012 & 2022.

Down the road and turn first left from bridge 37 on the Macclesfield Canal the pub is on the left after the bend.
