This Pub is Permanently Closed

Once owned by Woolf's Brewery of Crewe. Acquired by Ind Coope. Eventually became part of Punch Taverns (Ex Allied disposal), until sold to Sandbach Commercial Dismantlers in March 2012. Various planning applications to Cheshire East either refused or withdrawn.

There has been a pub on this site since the Trent and Mersey canal was completed in 1771.

On the 1834 Cheshire tithe map it is known as the Red Lion. The licencee then was William Smallwood, the pub owner was George Wilbraham. The name changed in the late 1960's, as far as can be ascertained, following a shift towards more "trendy" names!

Update 2016: Still in dilapidated state and closed.

Update 2017. 17/0269C. Planning application for new housing but retaining the listed building part of pub as part of overall design but not as a pub.

"Listed building consent for alterations and extensions to the Romping Donkey with change of use from vacant public house to dwelling".

Update 2020. Planning permission granted, with conditions, regarding brickwork and roofing tiles. Now new housing.
