A family pub based in a former betting shop, run by Chris and Alan Gent. Set over two floors, downstairs the style is fairly modern with a continental feel to the bar area. Recycled solid oak-topped tables, with a mix of seating sit under interesting posters and breweriana on the walls. Six handpumps adorn the bar, and six keg fonts including a dedicated line for Budvar Czech Lager. There is a cider fridge which carries the house cider plus a selection of real cider in bottles. In the cellar there are a further eight real ciders and perries. A full range of Stockport Gins are showcased, hand-delivered from the next-door distillery itself. There is also an impressive range of single malt whiskies, and a good selection of red and white wine.
Food in the form of pies is available, these are supplied by local butchers Littlewoods. Crisps, nuts and various other snacks are also available. Additional seating is upstairs and can be reserved for free during the week, and for a small charge on weekend evenings. The room is ideal for meetings and parties. The room can accommodate approx. 40 people; there is a small stage at one end. Additionally, there is an extensive bottle shop upstairs, where patrons can select products to take home or drink in. Online orders are also catered for.
