This old Building situated on the Macclesfield to Sutton road dates from 1695 and used to be a Smithy. It is very close to the Macclesfield canal and is popular with boaters and walkers. The bar is on an L shape format enabling three distinct seating areas, one with three open fires. In the left hand area there are Interesting stained glass windows depicting Kings Heads. Food is available every day from a printed menu with specials on a chalkboard with an additional lunchtime sandwich menu. Branch Pub of the Season Summer 2023.

Nearest bus is 14A (Mon-Sat daytime) Selwyn Dr down Hall Lane.

There is a Camping and Caravan Club site a short distance away on Jarman.
