This is a very large house, built most probably in the 1950s and is set in an area with little else in the way of pubs. The interior rambles around the bar (which is set back) with most of the accommodation devoted to a substantial food operation, including a carvery plus dedicated cake and ice-cream counters. If you are just seeking a drink then the area which is obviously not set out for dining is a dark panelled, comfortably furnished library-cum-study to the left of the main entrance. All in all, a huge improvement on what went before. This is very much along the lines of the Griffin at Heald Green.
Historic Interest
The pub was acquired on 21/8/2012 by Manchester brewer, Joseph Holt from former owners S&N / Spirit Group. It reopened on 29/11/2013 following a four month refurbishment and the construction of an extension to the front, and a kitchen extension to the rear. This meant the return of cask ale to the pub (that had dropped cask beer from sale some years ago). Investment in the building and its facilities was a welcome bonus.
This Pub serves no changing beers and 2 regular beers.
