Robinsons have recently 'restored' the pub in a manner that has stripped it of nearly all its heritage interest.
Opening hours updated, awaiting survey.
Large multi-roomed pub with Lounge/Dining Room at front, which is adorned with old photos of the local area. Behind the bar is a small meeting room and there is also a pool room. Freshly cooked food is available. There are facilities for caravans. Note the attractive carved wooden Congleton bear on the green outside the pub. Bus Stop is on St Johns Rd (Morrisons Daily ex CoOp) accessed via Havanna Lane. The guest beer is a seasonal from Robinsons.
One third of a mile downhill from bridge 61 on the Macclesfield Canal.
UPDATE 2022 Robinsons have recently 'restored' the pub in a manner that has stripped it of nearly all its heritage interest. The former description is shown below.One of three similarly built roadhouse pubs by Robinsons in the 1930s (the others are the Bleeding Wolf, Scholar Green (A34) and Legs of Man, Arclid (A50). Originally thatched like the Bleeding Wolf the roof was lost to a fire in June 1950. A framed collection of photographs in the left hand room shows the fire and its aftermath.
Left hand door leads to the former Public bar with a lapped wood counter that may be 1930s, possibly more modern, bar back shelves appear to be 1930s, there are remnants of a 1930s semi-circular brick fireplace, 1930s fixed seating but the fireplace on right hand side area is modern. A wood panelled passage in the middle of the pub with a serving hatch leads to the rear. On the rear left is a small room with 'Public Bar' sign (moved) as the rear door has 'Smoke Room' on it. There is a splendid wood panelled room on the right with an inglenook fireplace and "Tudor" arch stone fireplace. The gents has 1930s tiling and original large urinals. Ladies not inspected.
