A large detached pub built circa 1959 beside a main road yards from the Stockport – Manchester boundary. It has a spacious, airy feel throughout. Since a refurbishment in early 2017 it remains very much a pub rather than a restaurant in disguise, there is a substantial food operation here starting with breakfasts from 10am to midday. After that the main menu kicks in and is available till 8pm. Central bar now serves open plan vault to left with dartboard and sports TV; high tables dominate here. Elsewhere the emphasis is on plenty of tables and chairs (no fixed seating ), some areas are carpeted, others have a wooden floor. The rear is screened off from the rest, while a chimney breast with coal-effect fire provides both warmth and it neatly breaks up the space. Decor is neutral yet calming; note the very shiny stone tiles on the floor. Plenty of old monochrome photos of the locale adorn the walls along with a potted history of the pub. Garden with outdoor seating at the rear, at the front are picnic benches for outside drinking too.
