This popular mock Tudor public house has an imposing clock tower (but no clock). It is a pub for locals and is the haunt of many of Handforth's residents. It caters for old and young alike and has a thriving atmosphere inside. It has just one large room which is divided by screens into several comfortable seating areas. The bar extends along one side of the room and at one end is a dartboard which supports two darts teams. There is a small outside drinking area and car park but with free public parking nearby.

Information for this venue is provided by the Macclesfield & East Cheshire Branch of CAMRA
