In the 1980s and 1990s this was a very quaint, and thoroughly traditional Boddingtons house where beer sales made up most of its trade. Shortly after the retirement of the old tenant, it was vastly extended and brought into the modern world with the introduction of a food offering. Now it is very much a family-dining type of establishment. The bucolic scene is maintained outside with its whitewasshed exterior, and a neat chained-off cobbled yard to the front. A statue of the "Rompling Kitlin" (see History) stands guard to the side on a grassed area. The interior is mostly opened-out for family dining, however there are plenty of spaces for more intimacy. Walkers are welcome here - there are plenty of nearby paths taking you round the airport perimeter or towards Styal Country Park.

Historic Interest

A former Boddingtons Brewery house. The Romper name is said to have derived from a person who held some sway locally describing the image of the lion on the original sign board for the then Red Lion, as looking more like that of a "Rompling Kitlin".
