This is a lively but comfortable one roomed pub opposite the Houldsworth Mill with a stone and brick exterior common to the area (see the nearby St Elizabeth’s church for a fine example). Although open planned the lounge room is broken up into separate areas, including a vault type area with a TV for the sport, with photos of old movie stars and Manchester United teams and legends on the walls and above the bar. It is over 21s only on Friday and Saturday nights when there is entertainment on, including karaoke. While at these times the pub is not necessarily the place if you want a quiet pint you can always sit in the very pleasant well tended garden to the rear. NB. although the nearest rail station is Reddish South, this is only served by one "parliamentary" train per week; this runs early in the morning outside of pub opening hours. Best bet is to use the high-frequency bus service.
