      Micropub located in the centre of Bramhall village, the Mounting Stone is the sister pub to Cheadle Hulme's successful micropub, the Chiverton Tap and follows that pub's ethos of "keep it small and keep it simple". The pub operates on two levels: the main bar is on the ground floor and leads to a small beer garden at the rear, the lower level area is long and narrow with one side taken up with the cellar (this has been made into a feature with clear glazing to view the racked barrels). The decor in part reflects the fact that the site was originally a local blacksmiths. The Mounting Stone name was derived from a stone, further up the road towards Woodford, that was used by riders to mount their horses. Overall, the pub exudes a cosy and convivial place in which to have a drink. The drinks emphasis is on local suppliers as far as possible. Six cask lines are always available with two beers from Bollington brewery alongside four ever-changing beers from local, regional, and national microbreweries with one usually reserved for a porter or stout. In addition, there are eight keg beers, of which three are permanent (including ones from Red Willow, and Shindigger). A fridge contains mainly British cans and bottled beers. You can buy three thirds of a pint for the price of a pint. As with the Chiverton, there is a speciality gin range. Food is available in the form of tasty locally sourced pies. Voted Pub of the Year in the City Life Awards 2016. The in-house Made of Stone microbrewery was set up in spring 2018 and started brewing one-off brews twice monthly.

Behind the customers are shelves stacked with British microbrewers bottles and cans on sale to either take away or consume inside. The handpulls on the bar should always stock a porter / stout, a bitter, and a pale ale; on the bar-back are displayed the eight taps for keg or membrane-keg beers. A partial wall divides this room from the more secluded rear room; this can accommodate about 16-20 people.

    • Sun in September 588 Burnage Lane Burnage M19 1NA Telephone(0161) 431 0243

      This was originally built in the 19th century by the local bigwig’s daughter as her marital home after she had come back from her honeymoon in Switzerland and you can definitely see the alpine influences in its chalet like architecture. At one time the pub was perversely given an Indian Raj theme but following a more recent refurbishment much of the original house is now open to be seen. With the mansion came impressive grounds to the front. Mature trees and well-tended lawns lead you to the entrance. It has a traditional public bar which supports an active darts team, and a spacious, comfortable lounge arranged around a central feature fireplace. A thorough refurbishment took place in mid-2017; this did not affect any of the historic features. It is simply a really great pub. The walls feature memorabilia from the former Renolds Chains factory which stood opposite. Food is available every lunchtime, with Sunday lunches being particularly popular. A quiz night is held every Thursday.

Behind the bar is a separate dining room. Off in the other direction is a cosy snug, the former Station Master's Office.

  • Cheadle
    • Ashlea 14 Manchester Road Cheadle SK8 2NP Telephone(0161) 428 0413

      Since being restyled as the Ashelea it has settled down in to a comfortable pub that does food welcoming the type of people who enjoy that relaxed atmosphere. Its location undoubtedly helps it avoid the bustle and noise of some of its High Street neighbours. It is deceptive in appearance because it is on two levels inside - the low-level to the right is where drinkers generally mingle, whilst the upper-level hosts the main bar, various nooks, niches and dining areas arranged off that. All of this is done in that slightly over-the-top rustic design, but it is believable. Four small rivulets meet under the cellar which aids cellar cooling. A quiz night is held Thursdays, whilst game features on the occasional themed-food night (ask for details). Handy for a walk in nearby Abney Park.

    • Cheadle Social Club Ashfield Crescent Cheadle SK8 1BQ Telephone(0161) 428 3151

      Situated in the heart of Cheadle, it first opened its doors as Cheadle ex-Servicemens Club in 1926. It was renamed Cheadle Social Club in the 1960s and was extended to its current three room setup in the 1970s.

    • Cheadle Sports Club 225 Kingsway Cheadle SK8 1LA Telephone(0161) 428 5881

      Located alongside the busy A34 Kingsway, this club was established early in the 20th century. A major refurbishment took place in 2010, opening up the whole building as one through room. The bar is central with one side being a very modern lounge with an impressive trophy cabinet along the far wall. The other side of the bar has more seating but doubles as a function room; live sports are also shown. The function room can be sub-divided by a solid wooden folding partition, turning the large single room into two separate rooms both served by the one bar counter. While the driveway into the sports ground is immediately off the A34, the club building is set back somewhat, and being double-glazed is thankfully free of traffic noise, even outside for those standing on the terrace smoking or vaping. Four sports are played here: Cricket, Lacrosse, Tennis and Bowls, all teams taking part in local North West leagues. A small beer festival is held annually here in late May, with around a dozen ales available. The bar is available to all, not just members. If you encounter Wainwright Gold being sold on handpump here, be aware this is a brewery-conditioned beer. It is part of Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company's (CMBC) Fresh Ale line-up. Fresh Ale is a keg beer that's brewed using a similar method to cask ale, but is NOT cask ale.

    • Cheshire Line Tavern Manchester Road Cheadle SK8 2NZ Telephone(0161) 428 3352

      Given a new focus by Midlands brewer Banks's in the 1980s who converted the former rail station building to pub use. Set low from the road, it can be overlooked, yet its distinctive twin-gabled frontage draws you in. Much altered inside to accommodate the pub and dining area, it is a most pleasant place to enjoy a drink or meal. Some tables at the rear allow you to view the occasional freight train passing at close quarters. Everything about the place has that traditional feel to it. A central bar divides the space neatly. A dining pub, yes, but more for the 'grown-ups' rather than the Wacky Warehouse end of the market. The carvery offering is very popular at weekends. The Manchester Mini Club (the car, that is) used to meet here every Wednesday.

    • Crown 81 High Street Cheadle SK8 1AA Telephone(0161) 491 6082

      Some years ago Hydes converted this former fish-shop into a pub. It has a narrow interior that broadens out towards the rear, the bar (accommodating seven hand-pumps) and a raised seating area. An improved arrangement of seating was added at the front of the interior to provide more room. Popular with drinkers and those who enjoy the weekly quizzes and weekend artists who add that touch of pizazz. Won Hydes' Best-Tenanted pub for 2010, and was runner-up in their Best-kept Cellar award.

    • James Watts 13 High Street Cheadle SK8 1AX Telephone(0161) 428 3361

      A modern looking bar housed in the shell of the former Old Star Inn. Relaxed and friendly, it has two rooms at the front (the left area was at one time the separate vault) both well-appointed and comfortable with a mix of bench and other seating. These lead you to the middle section with high posing tables, some set atop wooden casks, others affixed to the wall; these have a bare brick wall behind them with a feature wall of tiny blackboard tablets labelled with the names of numerous drinks. In front of that is the bar featuring an array of handpumps dispensing both beers Hydes and guests. Further to the rear is another area laid out with tables that could be used for both dining and drinking; beyond this a full-width set of doors leads to the outdoor gravelled patio area. A nice touch to the history of the pub is that between the bar and this rear room, one of the former "Old Star Inn" etched windows forms a partition screen at the end of the bar. Bar food is served, this comprises sharing plates (choose from Meat, Mezze, Pork Pie or Cheese), various panini, soup and various "nibbles" including pork pie, scotch egg or a wedge of cheese among others. Things going on: live music from 8pm is on a Saturday, and a quiz on Tuesday. Note the impressive Hydes Crown Brewery plaque above the entrance. Discounts on Mondays for cask beers.

    • Printers Arms 220 Stockport Road Cheadle SK8 2BT Telephone(0161) 641 4745

      Smart multi-room pub with a pleasant conservatory and a modest garden to the rear. Its style and decoration has a modern accent. The interior is deeper than you might first expect. There is a small room to the right for sports, the main room has the bar along the left wall, and there are fixed seating areas to the front and rear. In between those is mostly stand up drinking territory. A friendly, family atmosphere, often bustling when live TV sport is shown. A small area outside the front has picnic tables for those sunny days.

    • Red Lion 83 Stockport Road Cheadle SK8 2AJ Telephone(0161) 428 5507

      A large, solid-looking, half-rendered building on fringe of village. Cosy, with a mixed clientele of varying ages enjoying the well-appointed surroundings - plenty of dark wood, traditional fittings, fireplaces, Toby jugs, old bottles, and snug corners to nestle in. Low-ceilinged in part to add to that feeling of homeliness. Welcoming home-cooked food from a varied menu, including salad bar is served most days (carvery Sundays). Much used by the community who enjoy the weekly quiz and curry nights. What was a heated outside drinking and eating area was converted in late 2024 to a multi-purpose room, in that it serves as an additional room when the pub is busy at weekends; a function room; and in good weather, the retractable roof can be pulled back leaving an outside area..

    • Royal Oak 22 Stockport Road Cheadle SK8 2AA Telephone(0161) 428 2115

      This is a three room house, reached via a couple of steps. The main room features the bar along one side with a variety of fixed and other seating around it; there is plenty of space here to circulate. Two rooms flank this - a comfortable snug to the left, and a pool-cum-games room to the right. There is a large, well-appointed beer garden off to the rear. In early 2019, a refurbishment saw the introduction of daytime food, and the return of cask ales (these had been removed in 2014).

    • White Hart Tavern High Street Cheadle SK8 1PX Telephone(0161) 491 3028

      Central to the village and beside the beautiful St Mary's Parish Church, this impressive whitewashed building is part two-storey, part three. The left part contains a comfortable snug with much oak decoration - note the fire surround. Adjacent is a large bar with limited seating, but space for stand-up drinkers, needed when the pub is at its busiest. The pub's right half is opened out with an emphasis on dining, this extends all the way to the rear and right round the back of the bar. The decor and fittings sit well in a building of this age and character. A smallish beer garden lies between the pub and its small pay and display car park of six or seven spaces. It is useful to know, the parking charge can be redeemed inside the pub. There's a 10% discount on production of a CAMRA card which is valid on all ales. They also have a loyalty card where if you buy five pints, you get the sixth free.

    • Wobbly Stamp 130 Stockport Road Cheadle SK8 2DP Telephone(0161) 523 0188

      The size of the place is deceptive as it extends back some way, plenty of seating at the front alongside the bar, then further seating towards rear section; an interesting "spider-like" light feature illuminates this area. The interior decor is a mix of bare-brick and plastered walls peppered here and there with locally-produced paintings, and occasional mirrors. Much use of rough, unplaned timber too. An outside drinking area has been fenced off with what appears to be pallets, this overlooks the side street and nearby park.

  • Cheadle Hulme
    • Archive 2 Mellor Road Cheadle Hulme SK8 5AU

      A good deal of thought has clearly gone into the design of Archive, with good use made of both floors in the building. Downstairs there’s a large entrance lobby with a room to the right, where you will find a small elevated area containing some seating), then to the left, is the main bar area. Here, pride of place goes to a brace of handpumps, plus eight keg beers on the bar back. A spiral staircase takes you to another room divided into a lounge area and a snug, with leather sofas and low tables (the toilets are up here too). Throughout, much use is made of natural wood and vintage furniture while the décor is in warm shades of green. Natural copper is also a feature and adds to the homely feel, while the large windows make it all very light and airy. A feature of the decoration is the displays of beer bottles on shelves throughout every room - the bar really is an archive of great beers, past and present. Food is served until early evening and consists of small bites and more substantial meals. Artisanal gins, a cocktails menu, and well-chosen wines are another feature. The bar is accessed via a ramp up from the pavement or via the alleyway alongside, where there is a small smoking area in the shadow of the station's Platform 2. However neither of the two entrances are accessible to wheelchairs. The upstairs rooms are available to hire.

    • Chiverton Tap 8 Mellor Road Cheadle Hulme SK8 5AU Telephone(0161) 485 4149

      For about 70 years the premises were occupied by Arthur Chiverton, a drapery and millinery business. His name can still be seen in mosaic at the entrance and it is this business that provides the inspiration for the name and design of the pub. "Keep it small and keep it simple" is the ethos, but as the old shop was double-fronted this gives the premises a light and airy feel. Good use has been made of the space with a bar against part of the back wall and an eclectic mix of tables, chairs and fixed seating at once creating a homely, lived-in feel. In December 2019, the first-floor space was brought into use to provide additional seating for up to 30 people and this area can be reserved for small private functions by arrangement. At the same time, an external area was opened at the rear to seat sixteen at small tables. Because of nearby residential accommodation, this is a non-smoking space. The door to the toilets acts as a blackboard menu for the draught products. Two of the six cask beers are from Bollington Brewery; the other four cask lines are ever changing, all from UK micros. There are six keg taps on the back wall, ever changing, all from UK micros, including a cider. In addition, there is an extensive bottle and can selection, all from UK micros. You can get three thirds of a pint for the price of a pint in what they amusingly call 'beer tapas'. Local spirits are available with artisanal gins from Forest Gin of Macclesfield and Hunters of Knutsford. Food is available in the form of superior pies – again locally supplied. Voted CAMRA local Pub of the Year for 2017 and 2022.

    • Cross Keys 10 Adswood Road Cheadle Hulme SK8 5QA Telephone(0161) 485 1386

      The pub dates from the inter-war period and has been opened up over the years. Today there is a series of inter-connecting areas at the front, which each still have their own distinctive character, with traditional decor, comfortable seating and open fires. At the back is a separate large vault-cum-games room. There used to be a bowling green to the rear of the pub and while this was sold off for housing there still remains a decent sized outdoor area which is a real sun-trap in the summer. Upstairs is a large function room available for events and local bands. There’s entertainment with live DJs every Friday and perhaps a live singer or band appear one a month. Sports fans can enjoy both BT and Sky Sports. The Cross Keys is very much a community pub and the tenants really would like to make it a social club for the whole community. Fundraising is for Manchester Children’s Hospital, which it the charity chosen by Hydes for their pubs. This pub is a survivor, outliving near neighbours such as the long-gone Greyhound and Wembley.

    • Governor's House 43 Ravenoak Road Cheadle Hulme SK8 7EQ Telephone(0161) 488 4222

      This is a Greene King managed house, but also has a couple of guest cask conditioned ales. The central bar area serves several well decorated semi enclosed spaces. The rear part is given over to food, with an extensive, reasonably priced full menu but also jacket potatoes, sandwiches, burgers and tapas, and a carvery on Sundays.

Being residential with eight en-suite bedrooms, it serves a full English breakfast from 7.30am but is only open to the public from 9am. Occasional beer festivals were held that featured up to 15 ales.

    • Hesketh 63 Hulme Hall Road Cheadle Hulme SK8 6JZ Telephone(0161) 850 5673

      This is a good community pub that is busy on Friday nights with a lively atmosphere for those who like sports TV, etc. A good balance is struck between a choice of real ales and food. There is a large bar extending into a food serving area. The rest of the ground floor is screened into four areas, quite well decorated for Interior Decorator’s pastiche, with a gas flame-effect fire in one room, and in the rear room that is neatly decorated, an enclosed stove also gas fired. A room is set aside with pool table and sports TV for those on thrive on such things, yet the pub continues as a destination for both drinkers and diners. There is an attractive garden area at the rear with a large car park that replaced the bowling green in the 1970s.

    • John Millington 67 Station Road Cheadle Hulme SK8 7AA Telephone(0161) 486 9226

      The John Millington is a busy, multi-area Hydes pub with a thriving food operation; that said, the food does not dominate as the restaurant area is somewhat separate at the rear. There has been effective use of walls and furniture which break the space in this large building into a number of interesting sections. There is a discrete TV screen, usually with the sound very low, and the sole gaming machine remains silent. The John Millington enforces a strict over-21 policy both during the day and evenings. Children are excluded unless they are over the age of six and dining with adults in the specially designated areas. In a separate section towards the rear there is a large and very attractive dining room extension which overlooks neatly tended shrubbery. Outside is an attractive part-covered, part-heated seating area with a section designated for eating which is strictly non-smoking. In addition to Hydes standard beer range, they always stock the seasonal beers the brewer does. Voted 'Best Managed Pub 2012' in the Great British Pub Awards. Discounts off pints of cask ale on Mondays.

    • Kenilworth Cheadle Road, Cheadle Cheadle Hulme SK8 5DX Telephone(0161) 485 1060

      Large, open plan pub with emphasis on pub games and football on TV. The main appeal is for younger people and there seems to be a thriving trade, and a busy food sales offering, in part due to keen pricing and special offers. The landlord knows how to run a pub and there are usually three well-kept cask ales from which to choose. This is especially heartening as the pub has gone from selling no cask ale a few years ago to the situation you see today with changing ales most weeks. Quizzes held weekly. They often have Sharp's Doombar on, or beers from Mobberley brewery (as one of the brewers used to live nearby).

    • March Hare Mill Lane Cheadle Hulme SK8 5PG Telephone(0161) 482 8638

      Sited at the end of the lane, and looking very much like an old farmhouse with an added barn conversion. The rustic appearance is no accident – indeed when the pub was built in 1987 it was constructed to look like an old sawmill, complete with water wheel. Back then it was called the Old Mill and was badged as a Tetley pub. Then it had a good range of cask conditioned beers. It has changed hands several times and is now owned by Vintage Inns. It was considerably altered in the 1990s, with a much lower false ceiling and then further change took it to be a more food-orientated venue. Today it’s much more cosy and intimate with lots of separate areas furnished and decorated in a "modern traditional" style. Think more country cottage than working sawmill. There is extensive outdoor seating, including a recently renewed decking area alongside the river. It generally has three cask beers and a guest beer. Although very much food-focused, you can turn up if you want a meal without the necessity of booking, or you can you can just go there for a drink; the beer is well kept.

    • P5 47 Station Road Cheadle Hulme SK8 7AA Telephone(0161) 485 3632

      Extended and transformed in early 2010s by a million-pound scheme into a pub-cum-eaterie called P5 or Platform 5 (as it is adjacent to the railway station's Platform 4). Little did the marketeers know that in the 1960s, steam engine drivers from the adjacent station yard also referred to the Junction as Platform 5! This latest transformation resulted in the loss of the vault to the right of the bar from the original days; however there are still plenty of opportunities for those who just want to drink. The bar remains central to the pub and has been extended on one side. Various handpumps are located along the length of the bar and dispense a changing range of Holts beers as well as one or two from Bootleg. There is also a small selection of bottled beers, mostly foreign. The main eating areas, which have been extended but still retain distinct spaces, are to the left of the entrance although food can be eaten anywhere. Decor is very modern; a mixture of high and conventional tables can be found in all areas along with a variety of chairs ranging from stools to sofas. Old railway pictures and memorabilia can be found on the walls and a useful feature is a real time train departure screen for the station. Outside the pub has a multi-level beer garden facing the station, and a large car park. Take care when passing the dessert cabinet; it's very tempting and cakes can be taken away!

    • Pointing Dog Grove Lane, Cheadle Cheadle Hulme SK8 7NE Telephone(0161) 485 6031

      The exterior is a striking mix of boarding, white rendering, and weathered copper set in extensive grounds. Parking is available to three sides, whilst a lawned area to the rear aspect is bounded by trees, in front of which is a large covered pergola and patio area housing many tables to enable enjoyment of the British weather. Inside, the result of this expenditure can be appreciated in a very modern space set around an island bar with an open kitchen visible beyond that. This is a very large building, it has five rooms with the smallest being an alcove area with full-height wine racking acting as a screen between there and the toilets. All of the rooms offer the user a drinking or dining experience, given that an emphasis is heavily placed on dining, everywhere is a place that you may eat. The front rooms appear slightly more plush and give you some old hunting photos and enlarged postage stamp images of hunting dogs to look at. Elsewhere the décor is minimal and somewhat rustic, some walls are painted, whilst others are seemingly bare plaster, this look is fitting as most rooms have no ceiling, just the exposed underside of the roof structure. These blend with huge sliding wooden-gates that act as doors-cum-wall screens; one of the rooms even has a faux minstrels gallery (with the floor of the gallery here fashioned from industrial galvanised flooring however). This was a most welcome addition to the Cheadle Hulme pub scene, especially in an area that had next to no provision of cask ales prior to this. Why the name Pointing Dog? Two ideas are mooted - a variant on a renowned New Zealand wine, Dog Point; or a name used by no other pub in the UK that will always come top of a web search with that name. As of early 2025, three dual-station EV charging units were installed in the front car park.

    • Watchmakers 11-13 Station Road Cheadle Hulme SK8 5AF Telephone(0161) 696 8757

Steps lead down to the rear area with tables given over more to food. There is a mixed clientele of all ages and it can be quite crowded at weekends. A small area on either side of the central entrance is very popular on warm sunny days bringing an almost continental cafe feel to the frontage. A small beer garden is located outside at the rear, this is popular in good weather. Very reasonably priced meals are available all day from a full English breakfast to early evening curry etc. Music may feature on Thursday evenings. NB. There is a disabled person’s toilet on the ground floor, accessed by a ramp.

    • Tillys 18 Talbot Street Chipping PR3 2QE Telephone(01995) 61568

      In a picturesque village in the Forest of Bowland, this two-roomed, wooden beamed pub was built in 1836. The expression, 'light modern lines' comes to mind, when commenting on the décor. Various small-scale, tile-like renderings of Jack Vettriano's "The Singing Butler" and other prints serve to tune the lightly painted walls towards being interesting features, rather than monotonous boundaries. Furnishing is such that Tilly's could operate either in a restaurant mode, or pub mode, depending on the requirements of a majority of whomsoever strolls through the door. Tilly's is a pub, alright, but forget sawdust. The owners have made a leap towards the bright, and away from the dark traditional atmospherics of the former management. Expect up to four real ales including the regular Tilly's Special Ale, brewed for them by Moorhouse's.

      This Wetherspoon pub was originally a billiard hall, built, in c1907, on a field sandwiched between a house called Sedge Lynn (demolished to make way for a cinema in the building which was the Cooperative funeral parlour) and Red Gate Farm. Now a Grade II listed building, it was originally built by the Temperance Hall Billiard Company. Several such halls were built in and around Manchester and South London, to remove billiards from its normal setting of the public house and to further the aims of the Temperance Movement. Taken on by Wetherspoon in 1999, the pub is now one of the better 'Spoons in Manchester for real ale. The Wetherspoon's standards of Ruddles, Doom Bar & Abbot are joined permanently by Moorhouses Blond Witch as well as their own Temperance Ale brewed by Brightside You can typically expect to find 4 or 5 guests available. Other popular guest breweries include Moorhouses, Acorn, Brightside, Hawkshead, Phoenix & Titanic. A member of the CAMRA LocAle scheme at least one beer should be from a local brewery. The feel of the building is slightly unusual for a Wetherspoon, the high barrelled ceiling dictating a single large open plan room with no pillars or other obstacles to break up the room. Even when busy (and it usually is), the pub can seem quiet as a result. You enter into a large seating area with the bar across the back of the room way in front of you. A raised area at the front is often filled with diners. A slightly lower raised area runs down the right hand side of the room with four seat booths being the only break from the open plan layout. All toilets situated on the ground floor. The usual Wetherspoon food offering is in place, starting with breakfast at 8am and the main menu served until 11pm.

Visitors are welcome to come in and visit the bar to see if they like it - if you do and want to come back, social membership is just £15 a year. The upstairs air-conditioned function room was extensively refurbished in 2010. With it's own bar & dancefloor it has a capacity of 90 people and is available for parties, anniversaries, christenings and club & group meetings. Chorlton Folk Club meet at the club every Thursday night. The club is a proper folk club – no amplification, an ethos that encourages anyone brave enough to get up on stage. Not just folk, there’s some traditional, some unaccompanied, but lots of acoustic blues and rock, and, increasingly, singer-songwriters. Most nights are singers’ nights (£1) with occasional guest nights (£2). Tuesdays is the turn of the Glee Club - an adult group for over 21s who secretly want to sing like nobody's listening!

    • Spread Eagle 526-528 Wilbraham Road Chorlton-cum-Hardy M21 9LD Telephone(0161) 861 0385

      A Joseph Holt Brewery pub, the Spread Eagle is a world away from the trendy modern bars that dominate the Chorlton area of Manchester. Although it is only around 24 years old (having been converted from a former life as a hotel) it is very much a "traditional" pub. Coming from the Joseph Holt stable, beer is cheap - no bad thing in one of Manchester's more pricey suburbs. Joseph Holt's Bitter is the only true permanent ale on sale. There are permanent pumps for the Chorlton Pale Ale and the Bitter. The full range of Holt's bottled ales is also available. The vault contains a darts board. In an interesting variation on pub games, there are regular "card school" sessions. Thursday night is quiz night from 9pm. There is karaoke every Friday and Saturday. The downstairs function room holds salsa classes every Tuesday and Thursday (7.30pm). The pub is popular for football with all major Premiership & Champions League games shown. Children are welcome until 7pm and for football etc, but usually the pub operates an over 21s policy. The pub has a number of rooms available with singles from £60, Double/Twin £70. Rates are room only - breakfast is not served.

    • Strange Brew 370 Barlow Moor Road Chorlton-cum-Hardy M21 8AZ

  • Chorlton-on-Medlock
    • Grafton Arms 27 Grafton Street Chorlton-on-Medlock M13 9WU Telephone(0161) 523 4357

      Handy for the MRI and Emmeline Pankhurst Centre, this is a lively, down-to-earth Holt's boozer. Built in the 1980s, as a true two-room house, having a traditional vault and a large rambling L-shaped lounge with the bar set between the rooms. At the rear of the lounge is a bespoke stage area for the live music that the pub often hosts. The traditional decor of many a year was replaced in 2015 by a smart retro scheme that sees modern dark furniture married with varied wallpaper, pop posters, colourful seating, and lots of TVs. There is plenty to draw your eye such as the unusual photos of central Manchester and its people. The menu offers affordable meals with breakfast being served all day, plus sandwiches, paninis, and pub classics such as sausage and mash, and chilli. Outside is a walled drinking and relaxing area with plenty of seating. On the opposite side of the pub lies The Yard, an open space with gazebos and picnic tables, this hosts barbecues in fine weather. Teas and coffees are always available, be sure to watch out for value drinks offer too!

    • Kro Bar 325 Oxford Road Chorlton-on-Medlock M13 9PG Telephone(0161) 274 3100

      A fine example of local initiative and a fortunate purchase laying the foundations for a successful chain. Mark Ruby’s 1990s purchase of the old Manchester Temperance Society building (a large Victorian villa), right in the heart of the 'University Quarter' and bang across the road from the Students’ Union was always going to be a smash hit. Throw in a cutting-edge design from local architects Stephenson Bell, great food and a commitment to cask and you have a real asset to the area. It is a large place, with two floors being used along with an extension at the rear. Add to this a beer garden at the front, and a larger one at the back, so you begin to see the potential of this slick operation. As its owners are Danish ('Kro' translates as pub by the way), the food has a Danish air to it.

    • Sandbar 120-122 Grosvenor Street Chorlton-on-Medlock M1 7HL

      The Sandbar features a real ale selection on eight pumps (including an occasional dark mild line). The vast majority of the beers come from Greater Manchester and the surrounding areas. Locally brewed beer is something which is very important to them and even extends to their keg selection, which includes two lagers and often a stout, plus a Pilsner and fruit beer. Situated in the heart of the university area, Sandbar is an interesting conversion of two Georgian townhouses attracting custom from both lecturers and students. A former loading bay is utilised as a seating area, while some former bus seats form part of the varied furnishings. The atmosphere is bohemian and arty and this is reflected in the excellent beer range both on cask and in bottle (where foreign specialities feature); look too for the large spirits offering. Have a look at the Cabinet of Curiosities, and the exhibitions of photographs and paintings that usually line the walls while DJs or live music may feature in the evenings; life drawing classes on some Sunday afternoons. The interesting and varied menu of home-made pizzas are available most days. Sandwiches are available too; the entire menu is veggie or vegan. Occasional beer festivals are held. NB: pub is CASHLESS, ie it accepts CARDS ONLY. As of October 2023, the pub has a link with Courier Brewing of Ardwick, so you may encounter a beer on the bar from it.

    • Turing Tap 421-423 Wilmslow Road Chorlton-on-Medlock M13 9WG Telephone(0161) 273 1490

      This has had numerous incarnations over the years but is now a warm, comfortable and, to use an old-fashioned word, convivial place to enjoy a beer. A large array of pump clips is on display showing past guest beers. It is laid out on two floors; all decor is of a pleasing contemporary style. There is even a mid-stairs point on a small mezzanine, where you can sit awhile. It has slowly lost cask beer sales since becoming Turing Tap, focusing instead on the student trade. It has lots of personality for a managed pub, there's a wall of academy VIP passes from past gigs, plus two Sky TV boxes and a huge projector screen providing for sports fans. There is a popular quiz on Tuesdays, and live music once a month. 15% off for NHS staff.

  • Claughton
    • Fenwick Lancaster Road Claughton LA2 9LA Telephone(015242) 21157

      Located in a hamlet on a busy road, this is manifestly aiming to be a gastropub, with prices to match. NB: not "fine dining", nor "pub-restaurant", two quite different categories. There is a bar area, however, with a slate-topped counter and comfy chairs, where you are welcome to just have a drink (no dartboard, TV, etc, though). Lots of woodwork on show, decor otherwise in shades of brown, grey and cream. Attentive service. There is an attractive walk to and along the riverbank but few take advantage, with nearly all customers arriving and leaving by car. The early opening times are for breakfast.

  • Claughton-on-Brock

      Opened 2020 in a new retail unit amid extensive housing developments - a lifeline in an area where most of the old pubs have shut (or open very limited hours). Fairly typical micropub with large front window and decor in industrial chic and muted colours. Seems to sell more coffee than anything else during the daytime. Local producers favoured in all departments. Poker nights and comedy nights.

  • Clayton
    • Grove Inn 652 Ashton New Road Clayton M11 4SQ Telephone(0161) 225 6522

      Quality Holt's house that oozes history. Whilst the impression of being quite small is born out in the right hand lounge, the left side of the pub houses the much larger vault area. This was enlarged to the rear some years ago to double it in size. As it is one of the few pubs still trading in the area, it is good to note that it has considerably extended the beer range of late (although not all beers may be on all the time). The rear beer garden which was extended in late 2015, is well worth a visit on sunny days. Probably the closest cask ale outlet to Manchester City's Etihad Stadium.

  • Clayton le Moors

      Historical Information

    • Ley Inn Back Lane Clayton-le-Woods PR6 7EU Telephone(01772) 342390

      The Ley Inn was established in the 1970s from a much older farmhouse and has been substantially extended since. Whilst it is now largely surrounded by housing it retains the appearance of a country pub. The pub is largely open plan, but has distinct areas with a games area to the rear with darts board and two pool tables. There are several large TV screens showing sports although they are not overly intrusive particularly in the front area which is more of a lounge bar. The restaurant adjoins the pub with its own entrance. Meals are served in both the pub and restaurant from the same menu. The barn next door accommodates a large function suite with its own bar. Real ale can be served in the function suite on request. Four changing real ales are served in the pub from the Marston's range. Wednesday is quiz night and Friday poker night.

Named after the naval hero, there is a plaque by the front door detailing his career and a small plaster statue above the entrance. The interior has low wooden beams, and with plenty of dark wood and flogged floors, there is a very traditional feel about the place. While the pub has been opened out, there are several distinct drinking areas, served from a long bar across the back of the pub. A large real fire dominates one end of the room. There is a wide food menu, for which the pub is gaining a growing reputation. Pizzas are the house specialty - also available to take away.

  • Davenport
    • Jolly Sailor 218 Bramhall Lane Davenport SK3 8TE Telephone(0161) 483 3350

      The pub is leased to Almond Pub Co by owners, Greene King, this is now the sixth house in the Almond portfolio (correct as of 2019). All follow the same pattern, with a very high quality carvery being centre stage of things. The character of the building has been retained, and probably enhanced given the prior years of neglect. The street entrance leads direct to the long L-shaped, and visually impressive, bar along the left side. To the right is mostly seating and tables for those just wishing to drink, beyond that is a large conservatory room housing the majority of those wishing to dine. The carvery is located beyond the end of the bar on the left, this area has dining tables too in what was probably the former billiard room. Decor is stylish, yet traditional: plenty of panelling, old prints, and various objects dotted around give it the feel of a country house. Large outside patio area at rear for fair-weather drinking (and potential barbecues too). A very large car park is there as well on what was probably a bowling green in years gone by. History: Closed 14/1/18, there followed a long, and very thorough refurbishment which saw it re-open in mid-2019 now being run by Almond Pub Co under a Greene King lease. Prior to this it was a large open-plan pub with three levels giving three distinctive areas. It had a long L-shaped bar with two handpulls on the main length, at the far end round the corner. At the time the pub attracted a good clientele of young and old imbibers. New management came in early 2013 which saw improvements such as doubling the guest beers.

    • Milliner 179 Bramhall Lane Davenport SK2 6JA

      Stylish conversion of shop premises which started life as a milliner's, hence the name. The interior is surprisingly spacious and in due course this will be enhanced by a further room on the first floor. The kitchen and restaurant are sited upstairs and serve a menu of traditional pub food with the dishes having quirky variants on their usual names. The decor is modern yet traditional, with a nod to the building's 19th century origins, not least the stylish tiled bar counter, on the left as you enter. High tables in the windows make for an ideal vantage point to watch the world go by, and outside there is a good-sized seating area. The cask beers are locally sourced with Bollington Brewery's Bollington Best being the house beer. NB all cask beer is at reduced price/pint noon-1700 Mon-Fri.

  • Didsbury
    • Barlow Croft Parrs Wood Lane Didsbury M20 5PG Telephone(0161) 445 6990

      Built to complement the Parrs Wood entertainment complex. Began life as the Bell House changing to the Barlow Croft name in early 2015. With that change in name came an extensive refurbishment and a change in policy towards stocking cask ale. For a time during 2017-18, the pub did serve cask ale; a further change in policy in early 2019 saw its withdrawal. Dabbled again with cask ale in the early 2020s, but availability is patchy The new, quite stylish, decor/upholstery has a clean finish with a 1950s/1960s retro feel in muted shades of green, purple and mid-brown. Part of the Wacky Warehouse chain, the Barlow Croft is, as you would expect, family-friendly and there are several 'Food and Fun' offers available. There is a quieter area near to and to the right of the bar, while the Wacky Warehouse has its own entrance.

    • Dog & Partridge 667 Wilmslow Road Didsbury M20 6RA Telephone(0161) 223 3343

      This ever popular pub offers a number of different real ales in a traditional bare-boarded, beer-house setting. The look is anything but rustic though, as an extensive refurbishment in Sept 2017 altered it from shabby to a classy chic interior (which may not be to the taste of those expecting a traditional pub). The interior goes back quite a way into the building, seating is to that right side; at the front is panelled snug where people can get away from the hub-bub of the main bar. Always attracts a young crowd in the evenings but at lunchtime and afternoons there is a good mix. The pub always seems to have knowledgeable staff which is a big plus along with food offering of pizza, sandwiches, soup, a deli board, and a cheese board available. Quiz every Sunday evening along with constant sport on the TV screens dotted around the place. Tuesday is Cheese Night (free). Be aware there is a surcharge added on half pints (that is, a half-pint is not half the cost of a pint).

    • Famous Crown 770 Wilmslow Road Didsbury M20 2DR Telephone(0161) 376 2783

      Traditional decor is the order of the day here giving a pleasing environment in which to sit; it has several nooks and crannies which give the impression of there being separate bars. There are settles, and upholstered chairs, a couple of TV screens (covered by pictures when not in use), and a pleasant seating area outside at the back, This area has TV too. The tiled floors, Victorian fireplace, and wood panelling add to the Olde Worlde charm. Adding to that comfort, the fire will be lit as the weather grows colder. There are also a few benches out front for an alfresco pint. Former owners, Greenalls dubbed this the Famous Crown.

    • Fletcher Moss 1 William Street Didsbury M20 6RQ Telephone(0161) 438 0073

      Named after the alderman who donated the nearby botanical gardens to the city. The atmosphere of this gem is clear even before entering, as the buzz of conversation is audible before opening the door. Inside it is a pub of two halves, with the front encompassing two traditional style snugs, full of Hydes memorabilia, before opening up into a large bright conservatory area at the rear. However, the convivial atmosphere is maintained throughout by drinkers as mixed in age as they are in their drinking tastes, with real ale, red wine and champagne drinkers alike engaged in lively discourse without having to compete with piped music. The pub is a drinks-only operation but this doesn’t detract from its enduring popularity. A enlarged beer garden was created in mid-2013. Set on different levels and with varying level of shade, this really is a draw for those wishing to drink alfresco, and to be away from the traffic fumes of Wilmslow Road. There is a ramped entry at the rear from the garden, with doors that can be opened wide across when the weather allows, making the garden almost a natural extension of the conservatory. The conservatory has furniture of the high chairs and tables variety. The former doorway to the right of the bar was also blocked off to make a new 'room'. This has a different character from the rest: it’s a cosy area with upholstered seating, and frankly much better use of the space than before, though to get to it from the front door you now have to go three-quarters of the way round the pub. As you walk round you may notice the assortment of porcelain tea-pots; this is part of the late landlady's 100 piece collection now under the care of her husband who took on the role of manager.

    • Gateway 882 Wilmslow Road Didsbury M20 5PG Telephone(0161) 438 1700

      Sited at the prominent junction of Kingsway and Manchester Road, this is a large roadhouse that dates from between the wars. Built of red stone and contrasting white brick, it is many-faceted with large bay windows at the corners adding visual impact. Inside the large island bar serves a large lounge with raised seating area (this used to act as a stage area during Hydes' ownership era), this is flanked by a comfy lounge on the Manchester Road side, and a more open lounge, that used to be the vault on the Kingsway side. Behind the bar is a more secluded drinking and dining area. All is carpeted, with half-height panelling on most of the walls. The interesting photos of the interior of yesteryear from the Hydes' period have been replaced by pictures and text relating to Daniel Adamson and the Ship Canal Co. Plus, there is imagery detailing the very high-frequency bus service 42 that terminates at the nearby Parrswood leisure complex.

    • Head of Steam 653 Wilmslow Road Didsbury M20 6QZ Telephone(0161) 434 7259

      Pleasantly refurbished in early 2018 with pine wood fixtures and fittings, there are three or four booths down the right side directly opposite the very long bar. Most of the other seating is of the high variety, but there is plenty of room for vertical drinking in the area around the bar. Bare-boards, large rivets, and lots of filament bulbs seems to be the theme. An interesting photo montage of Cameron's Brewery and of Didsbury line the walls of the stairway to the upstairs loos. All draught products on the bar are advertised on two TV screens that act as a scrolling menu. Any draught beer can be put into a can for takeaway, this attracts a 20% discount. A coralled off area at the outside front allows for alfresco drinking in finer weather. They offer all-day food (most days, till 9pm), a large selection of cask ales, and many bottled beers.

    • Olde Cock 848 Wilmslow Road Didsbury M20 2RN Telephone(0161) 446 4190

      An old inn given new life, set in the historic area of Didsbury Green. It appears to be two large houses joined together, it has a well-appointed L-shaped interior, with a rather grand outside drinking area at the rear. Muted colours, low ceilings, and a mix of furniture create areas for dining, lounging, and simply drinking. An interesting bar is on the right side of the main high-ceilinged part of the pub; the back of the bar features a collection of mirrors. A snug at the front affords a more intimate experience. Food is served daily till 10. The current range of six ales may be increased, so keep your eyes open for interesting newcomers on the bar. Occasional beer festivals are becoming a feature. Historically, this operated as a Loch Fyne fish restaurant, then in June 2011 owners, Greene King, converted it back to mainstream pub-restaurant use.

    • Parrs Wood 356 Parrs Wood Road Didsbury M20 6JD Telephone(0161) 445 1783

      Underwent a thorough refurbishment in mid-2015, this saw the loss of the former Vault bar and the removal of fixed seating. Food and interesting beers are now on sale. A large L-shaped corner house probably dating from the 1930s (built in 'Banker's Classical' style) that is sited in an under-pubbed area of the village. At one point, it was probably too large for the trade it attracted, now with JW Lees in charge, it has seen trade improve. Decor includes old photos of the long demolished Capital Theatre, that stood opposite, still adorn the walls. The interior is large enough to accommodate all customers be they dining, watching TV sports or simply enjoying the pub.

    • Royal Oak 729 Wilmslow Road Didsbury M20 6WF Telephone(0161) 434 4788

      Built around 1850 this multi-roomed pub is akin to the community centre of the village. It maintains a traditional layout that has served it well over those years. The large central horseshoe-shaped bar displays an impressive collection of old porcelain spirit vats that thankfully were saved from a serious fire in the pub in the 1990s. Food takes the form of quality, locally-sourced cheese and pate plates, plus pies. It can be particularly busy when live sport is screened on television, but you can escape this by using the right-hand room or going outside at the back or to some of the pavement benches at the front.

    • St Catherine's Community Centre School Lane Didsbury M20 6HS Telephone(0161) 480 0741

    • Station 682 Wilmslow Road Didsbury M20 2DN Telephone07437 698843

      An old-fashioned local at the Northern reaches of the Village which has had a bit of a makeover in the last few years.

      There's always a relaxed and friendly atmosphere to this pub. It has four rooms of which the one immediately behind the bar is perhaps the cosiest (it has its own serving hatch). Extensive carpeting helps to absorb sound and of course there's no music or TV in this brewery's pubs. The bar has just the one cask beer but there are also some interesting bottled beers.

      Outside there is an extensive beer garden with picnic tables. It is set well away from Station Road, which can get quite busy with traffic. Barns Lane is very quiet. There is a large expanse of grass for children to enjoy.

      Please note that, in common with all Samuel Smith pubs, the use of mobile phones, tablets, laptops "and other transmission or reception devices" is not permitted unless they're being used to pay for food or drink.

      Opened in the mid-nougthies, this is a Lloyds No.1 bar set beneath apartment accommodation. The name derives from the proximity of the pub to the former railway line that once served the area.

  • Flixton
    • Church Inn 34 Church Road Flixton M41 6HS Telephone(0161) 748 2158

      The Church is a long established and busy community local. It stands next to the Norman church of St Michael’s and looks very much like a typical country pub, although it is on the fringe of a large and well developed urban area. Over the years the pub has expanded almost seamlessly into adjacent cottages. One downside of its long history is that access for anyone using a wheelchair is well nigh impossible, with steps at both entrances and awkward, narrow corridors to the toilets. Those that can get in find it a friendly and busy pub with a variety of different spaces inside, reflecting the small rooms of the original cottages. Entering from the church, there are two small areas off to the left and a larger space to the right, which tend to be used by diners. The bar runs along the back wall. Further along to the right there is an odd-shaped space broken up by remnants of interior walls and staircases. This is generally the serious drinkers' area. It has an exit to the car park and the toilet block. Booking for meals is advisable, especially at weekends. Card-carrying CAMRA members can claim a 10% discount on cask beers. Don’t miss the pub’s "mystery object", the so-called Shell. This is a strange and antique piece of ironmongery, attached to the corner formed by the pub wall and the wall of the churchyard. It’s been there for at least a century and is thought to be a deterrent to anyone tempted to use that semi-sacred corner as a "pissoir" (to borrow a French term).

    • Fox Pub & Kitchen 201 Woodsend Road Flixton M41 8QW Telephone(0161) 748 5431

      Originally a row of cottages owned by the Flixton Union Society, it became an inn some time in the 19th century and was known as the Union Inn. The pub was greatly altered and modernised in 1973, when it was renamed the Fox & Hounds. It gained its present name after a refurbishment in 2019 gave it a stronger focus on food. The pub is set back from the main road, with a sizeable car park in front, but there is also a small beer garden to one side. On entering the pub appears to be just one large room with a long bar facing the entrance, but there are a couple of separate spaces off to the left, including the main restaurant area. There is live music on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sunday afternoons. On Tuesdays there is a 2-4-1 offer on food.

    • Roebuck Hotel 2 Church Road, Flixton M41 6HD Telephone(0161) 748 4046

      The Roebuck dates back to at least 1788 when it was a brewhouse known simply as the Buck. It was rebuilt around the turn of the 19th/20th centuries, giving us a substantial building with considerable external character, and reamed as the Roebuck. Years of internal rebuilding and refurbishment have left it with a rather bland interior, much like any other "café-bar" on any High Street. It remains popular for both drink and food. The last refurbishment took it somewhat upmarket with food much improved in both range and quality. Drinkers may prefer the Vault to the right hand side of the main bar. Meals may be had in a dining room to the rear or in the main saloon; both are very much "family-friendly" areas. Sundays are particularly busy days for meals. There is still a bowling green behind the pub (there used to be two), and the upstairs function room, complete with hammer beam roof, still gives some idea of how the ground floor rooms used to look.

  • Foxdale
    • Baltic Inn 1 Glentramman Terrace Foxdale IM4 3EE Telephone(01624) 801305

      Quiet cosy local, one main room with separated seating areas, two dartboards and pool. A roaring real fire in winter adds to the atmosphere and that, along with the unobtrusive TV screen for the sports, makes for a homely, almost front room, feel to the place. This makes it an ideal venue to quietly watch the sports including the football over a relaxed pint for those who are less keen on the big format town centre sports bar type venue. The pub has very successfully returned to real ale in recent years along with bottled Okell's IPA and Maclear beers. There are some rare photos on the walls of The Baltic depicting Foxdale during the mining boom, one depicting hundreds of miners outside the mine works, and also an impressive painting of the former Foxdale steam railway station. Best way to find out about this friendly village pub is to pay it a visit and it will not disappoint. The pub does snacks on demand when possible and in recent times the former status as a hotel has been restored with three rooms being available. The clientele are invariably immensely friendly, in this very closely knit rural community situated inland in the heart of the island.

    • Horse & Farrier 144 Gatley Road Gatley SK8 4AB Telephone(0161) 428 2080

      An impressive building with several bay windows, probably formed by joining together three large cottages with the elevations later rendered to look like stone; it has a mock Tudor upper floor. Dating from before 1910, it forms a focal point in the village being at a prominent junction, and opposite the Clock that was originally the World War I memorial but replaced by a new memorial at the other end of Gatley Green. A lovely covered entrance with good mosaic, leads to a multi-roomed traditional pub with food service. It is far bigger than it first appears - in total there are six separate rooms. A central bar serves all the rooms, with the small Martingale Room available upstairs for functions. A quiet room with real fire and a very traditional air to it is set to the right of the entrance, and there’s a couple of seats set cosily under the stairs. To the right of the bar is an open lounge with TV and behind that a stand-up drinkers area with dartboard (no children permitted in this part). To the left of the entrance, you first encounter a wonderful little snug, almost akin to a railway carriage compartment, again with real fire.

    • Prince of Wales Gatley Green Gatley SK8 4NF Telephone(0161) 491 5854

      Known locally as the "Mop" (it used to have a problem with flooding), this delightful pub overlooks the village green. Originally two cottages which were knocked together many years ago (there’s a vintage photograph inside which shows the old pub and the cottage next door) and this has led to the distinct three area layout. There’s a vault to the left as you enter, a lobby-lounge area in front of the bar and to the far right a well appointed and cosy lounge. The low, beamed ceilings, bench seating and subdued lighting all add to the "country pub" feel. There was a refurbishment and redecoration in the early 2000s and more recently fixed seating has been reinstated in the lounge which adds to the traditional pub atmosphere and also makes better use of the space. At the front is a spacious and very attractive beer garden which overlooks the green. It’s very much a community pub. There’s no food as such (although hot or cold pies are available at all times) but there‘s plenty going on. The darts team plays in the Wythenshawe league and Thursday night is poker night. Saturday nights are big quiz nights with a general quiz, with DJ, and this is followed by a music quiz. There’s also "Play Your Cards Right" and "Open the Box". Aging rocker Rod Stewart stunned regulars in April 2005 when he popped in for a pint during a break from his busy concert schedule.

  • Glen Mona, Ramsey
    • Glen Mona Ramsey Road Glen Mona, Ramsey IM7 1HF Telephone(01624) 860860

      The pub reopened in March'23, after a protracted closure period where it was thought to be unlikely to return. Note the open times are accurate but the pub only stays open according to trade, and is open Mondays only on darts nights at present.

      A large 1889 build pub that has served this idyllic rural community for many years, the public areas have now been substantially reduced. The upstairs function room is not available at present and a large open plan bar area has been sectioned off and closed to the right. On the left upon entrance there is a smaller much more intimate bar area, fully refurbished and modernised, retaining darts but not pool. The smaller area is both homely and conducive to good conversation with the locals. There is a focus very much on local produce, the nearby Odin brewer supplying the real ales. The pub, or rather bar now also serves produce from the Fynoderee distillery, based a few miles north in Ramsey, and the bar itself has been named 'The Apothecary'. There is no food offering in the traditional sense, but snacks are available, as the operators adjust to market requirements and test the market, so there may well be changes to come. The pub is dog friendly, both with resident dogs in attendance, and many locals calling in whilst walking their dogs in this lovely Manx rural setting. All in all a thoroughly modern refurbishment and a modern bar, much more suited to todays needs.The reopening of the pub has been much welcomed by the local area. Do check opening times, especially if on public transport by way of nearby electric tram or buses, as the service is sometimes only hourly, or less, and the area is several miles from the next town or retail outlet.

  • Hazel Grove
    • Bulls Head 341 London Road Hazel Grove SK7 4PS Telephone(0161) 483 7269

The large bar facing the entrance is adorned with carved wood and the room is furnished in a contemporary style with plenty of wood and sofas.

    • Fiveways Macclesfield Road Hazel Grove SK7 6BE Telephone(01625) 873124

      This is a very large house, built most probably in the 1950s and is set in an area with little else in the way of pubs. The interior rambles around the bar (which is set back) with most of the accommodation devoted to a substantial food operation, including a carvery plus dedicated cake and ice-cream counters. If you are just seeking a drink then the area which is obviously not set out for dining is a dark panelled, comfortably furnished library-cum-study to the left of the main entrance. With the takeover by Joseph Holt in 2012, this made a huge improvement on what went before. Overall the effect was very much along the lines of the Griffin at Heald Green.

    • Flying Coach 120 London Road Hazel Grove SK7 4DJ Telephone(0161) 222 3343

      This half-timbered house has a pair of fenced facing steps leading up to the front door, which has a semi-circular canopy over it. Inside there are three smartly presented rooms, decorated in muted grey with interesting artifacts dotted around echoing the history of the area. The original floor plan of the Cock Hotel has been retained, yet with subtle changes here and there to make moving around the pub far easier. A black and white tiled floor runs from the front to rear entrance. At the rear there is a small beer garden with a neat pergola providing shelter alongside a smoking area next to the car park. The food menu has a selection of "Starters and Sides" plus a selection of Flatbreads and Crispy Chicken Wings. However the "Main Attraction" is the pizza menu. The local sourdough bases are hand rolled and stretched and then baked in an imported Italian pizza oven. The idea is to offer "sociable food" which people can share – and it’s available throughout opening hours. There’s plenty more going on. On Wednesdays there’s a Poker League, while the first Thursday of the month is comedy night with eigth to ten comedians, all hosted by Ben Watkins who was on the Edinburgh Fringe. Other Thursdays see a quiz night with a £50 bar tab as the prize. On the last Saturday of the month it’s funk, soul and Motown with DJ Alan Soleman. The Flying Coach is also a sport-free zone – if you want a quiet pint when everywhere else has the latest match on the big screen, here’s where to come.

    • George & Dragon 14 London Road Hazel Grove SK7 4AH Telephone(0161) 456 8690

      Began life as a Chester's Brewery house, the George & Dragon. It changed to the Phoenix in the 1990s but in doing so jettisoned the cask ale. After a number of years in the keg wilderness, it became a more-upmarket food-led Greene King house. It reverted to the George & Dragon name in February 2014. This is a long, low building with a mock-Tudor appearance to its exterior, inside it is a series of areas created from the former rooms. Comfortable and well appointed, it attracts a good mix of clientele. Coach House Gunpowder Mild was added as a regular beer in 2023 after being put on during the local CAMRA Mild Magic campaign and the locals enjoyed it.

    • Grapes 196 London Road Hazel Grove SK7 4DQ Telephone(0161) 483 4479

      This charming pub is one of the oldest in Hazel Grove. The lounge area is split into two distinct drinking areas - the bar is sited to the left, here too is a dartboard. A snug with welcoming fireplace is to the right (in times past, this area was a room that was dedicated to Norbury Cricket Club with pictures of the team on the walls and a small trophy cabinet on the far wall). The rear room is a dedicated and quite secluded pool room. Furnishings are of good quality, and vary from fixed seating, to high chairs and stools perhaps for those not intending to tarry. Entertainment includes a jukebox, dartboard and TV, plus live acts. Upstairs is a meeting room frequented by local sports teams and other local groups. To the rear is a large fenced-off patio with plenty of seating, well-tended floral baskets, and the car park.

    • Grove Alehouse 145 London Road Hazel Grove SK7 4HH Telephone07594 123174

      Micropub with environmental credentials: a good deal of recycled timber has been used for many of the fittings, but such is the quality of finish, you'd never know. It is set in what was originally Tittertons butcher's shop, latterly it became a computer shop, then lay empty for a year. Being a former shop, the size of the place is as modest as a good-sized living room. The layout is L-shaped with an L-shaped bar in the right-hand quarter. Beyond the bar, and into a corridor gives access to the toilet, and exit to the neat outside cum smoking area out at the rear. Decor is minimal with just a few choice images; there is a blackboard showing cask ales, etc currently on sale. Five handpumps adorn the the front of the bar, and boldly face the window enabling the customer to see the cask offering before anything else. A large fridge behind the bar is stocked with bottles from a variety of sources. The food offering is pickled eggs, crisps and nuts.

    • Rising Sun 2 Buxton Road Hazel Grove SK7 6AD Telephone(0161) 302 1411

      This prominent building (which is sited in the fork in the road close to the 192 bus terminus), is a former coaching inn that dates back to 1754 with its impressive black and white mock Tudor type exterior evoking times past. It is often adorned with attractive window boxes in summer. The original interior has sadly long since gone, with the pub now one large room albeit it is well-appointed and relaxing. It has a rather splendid but somewhat isolated tiled fireplace on the left as you enter. Behind here is a small area with table football and a dartboard. The L-shaped bar faces the entrance, where the cask beers are prominent. A lively pub at weekends, with live music every Saturday night from 9pm, and occasionally on a Sunday too if it is a special event. Wednesday is quiz night, whilst they sometimes have extra live music nights, check their website for details. This is the place to come if you enjoy TV sports as they have Sky and other subscriptions to show all major sports events on a range of screens around the pub.

    • Three Bears Jackson's Lane Hazel Grove SK7 5JH Telephone(0161) 439 0611

      One may think that for a pub built in the mid-1990s in a residential area, you would find a rather tired "estate pub" inside. Well, the Three Bears will be a pleasant surprise for you. Set across a large corner site, it comprises a large single room with a bar facing the entrance, the whole is broken up by dividing partition screens and decorative features. The decor is modern, yet relaxing. With an emphasis upon food, you will find quality meals and light-bites being served. Whatever the weather you can enjoy eating with a view of surrounding countryside in the heated conservatory dining area surrounded by a neatly trimmed hedge, and there is additional space for outdoor drinking either side of that. Although the pub is a fair way from Hazel Grove centre it can be reached by bus, with a daytime service passing nearby (limited service on evenings and Sun) accessible by alighting on Bramhall Moor Lane and walking along Dorchester Road.

    • Three Tunnes 194 London Road Hazel Grove SK7 4DQ Telephone(0161) 482 4412

      The mock-Tudor and red brick frontage together with leaded upper window sections produce a very attractive gabled exterior facing the A6. It has a rambling, multi-roomed, low-beamed appearance at the front but at the back the vault was extended into an outside yard during a 2014 refurbishment – and the infamous outside toilets were brought indoors at that time. The appearance is very traditional with lots of brown and cream in the colour scheme and plenty of period fixtures and fittings. Don’t let that description give you the impression that this is some dull museum piece though as the Three Tunnes is a thriving and lively local. The current licencees could see this was a good base in the local community and what they have done is gradually enhance the offer with good beers and interesting food (making sure that this remains a pub with food and not a food operation with a pub tacked on). The food is interesting and unique in Hazel Grove, a Portuguese chef has brought an Iberian touch to the menu. Tapas platters are a feature along with individual tapas. Locally-made pork pies are available all day. The other tapas and a wider lunch menu, including daily specials, can be had weekdays. As you might guess with a lively community pub like this there’s plenty going on. Tuesday is darts night, Wednesday sees a quiz along with a meet-up by a local walking club, and ladies darts are on Thursday. There’s also a Sunday football team, a lacrosse team and the pub sponsors Hazel Grove cricket club.

    • Wilfred Wood 204 London Road Hazel Grove SK7 4DF Telephone(0161) 419 2440

      As it is occupying former shop premises, it retains a somewhat shop-front facade that is both modern and functional. Internally, a deep space is made more intimate by it being broken up by the use of wooden screens, some booths, and a few panelled areas. The bar occupies the right-hand front wall, it accommodates many handpumps - alongside the usual Wetherspoon line-up are some interesting guest ales which add depth to the range. Apart from that, the other fare is of the standard house offering. A smoking area exists at the rear, while for those requiring the toilets, they are upstairs in this particular design. The place is often bustling, as this is the Grove's cheapest outlet by some way.

    • Griffin 124 Wilmslow Road Heald Green SK8 3BE Telephone(0161) 437 2459

      Manchester brewer, Joseph Holt spent a considerable sum in 2014 turning what had been a rather humdrum building a decade before into a gleaming, airy, well-lit local, successfully marrying the needs of the drinker with those of the diner. The former vault and lounge were combined, plus a conservatory constructed to one side. The dining area is at the back of the semi-open plan lounge where light oak wainscoting gives a manorial atmosphere. There’s also a pizza/deli/ice cream counter as you enter. Built into the front of the building is a covered veranda which pioneered the provision of external smoking areas even before the legislation was introduced. On the Finney Lane side there is still part of the pub that might be described as a vault area, so drinkers are very much welcome. There is an extensive range of Holt’s bottled beers available.

      An attractive, isolated, stone-built pub with great views over open countryside.

      A large striking brick and stone corner building and one of the area’s most popular and busy pubs. Originally built for Clarke's Reddish Brewery, it then became part of the substantial Boddingtons estate. The George and Dragon was opened out considerably some years ago but still retains its distinct areas and sense of community. Large L-shaped room fronts the bar with a few raised areas that add interest to the eye. Then to one side is a quieter room that acts as a dining room during the day. TV sport and good value meals.

      Set in converted shop premises, two small rooms (the second is downstairs in the basement) Heaton Hops is a cosy and convivial place to have a drink. It is selling a large range of bottle-conditioned beers from the UK and around the world. Supplementing these are a number of cask ale lines, alongside eight keg taps that make up the offering.

    • Hind's Head Manchester Road Heaton Chapel SK4 2RB Telephone(0161) 432 5445

      This country style upmarket pub was brought to prominence and much success by the dedication of the late Alan Preston. Since that time, the pub has had its ups and downs but now, following an extensive refit, the pub is very much on the rise. The décor and furnishings give a clean, open, pleasant feel to the pub and although open plan it is still easy to feel secluded in one of the distinct areas. The entrance area has a couple of sofas and posing tables. The secluded lounge is to the far right, while the restaurant area is to the left in a raised portion. The food is recommended and while it can be eaten anywhere in the pub there is a restaurant area in the conservatory. On Tuesdays there is a popular pub quiz with a themed menu. The pub garden is one of the best in the area but you will need to watch any young children.

    • Crown 6 Vale Close Heaton Mersey SK4 3DS Telephone(0161) 442 4531

      Possibly the only pub in Stockport without a front door, it is said. Set back off Didsbury Road, this attractive whitewashed building, bright with flower-filled hanging baskets, doesn’t appear to have a way in. However go around the side down the quaint and cobbled Vale Close and you’ll gain admission to this suburban pub with a country feel. As you enter there’s a large lounge to the left (with a small bar counter in the corner) with a distinctly rustic feel; exposed brickwork (this used to be an old bakery way back when), old beams and mix 'n' match furniture all add to the effect. To the right is the main bar counter and this serves two smaller, interconnected rooms which have a more snug-like feel. Warm colours and comfortable seating complete the picture. There’s no pool or anything like that but you’ll often find games being played near the bar – cribbage, dominoes and board games all have a mixed following. There’s a piano in one corner which the locals use from time to time, and for the big matches there’s TV sport. Note the detached roadside beer garden, probably unique in the borough. Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2025.

    • Dog & Partridge 687-693 Didsbury Road Heaton Mersey SK4 3AG Telephone(0161) 442 9298

      A large detached pub built circa 1959 beside a main road yards from the Stockport – Manchester boundary. It has a spacious, airy feel throughout. Since a refurbishment in early 2017 it remains very much a pub rather than a restaurant in disguise, there is a substantial food operation here starting with breakfasts from 10am to midday. After that the main menu kicks in and is available till 8pm. Central bar now serves open plan vault to left with dartboard and sports TV; high tables dominate here. Elsewhere the emphasis is on plenty of tables and chairs (no fixed seating ), some areas are carpeted, others have a wooden floor. The rear is screened off from the rest, while a chimney breast with coal-effect fire provides both warmth and it neatly breaks up the space. Decor is neutral yet calming; note the very shiny stone tiles on the floor. Plenty of old monochrome photos of the locale adorn the walls along with a potted history of the pub. Garden with outdoor seating at the rear, at the front are picnic benches for outside drinking too.

The main bar area with its open-plan room is an extension to the original pub (Holt's carried out this work in the late 1980s / early 1990s so successfully that many would not realise that there had been an extension at all). There's a place for everyone here with some rooms quiet, others less so. On the walls hang pictures of old Heaton Mersey and much Manchester City FC memorabilia. Quiz on Thurs, live music on Sats.

    • Heaton 474 Didsbury Road Heaton Mersey SK4 3BS Telephone(0161) 432 6262

      The Heaton is a good deal deeper than it appears from the outside; it has a light and airy feel aided by good lighting and decor. Higher ceilings and what is now a large dining room at the back of the pub, benefit from a new skylight. The kitchen occupies an extension, and on the right hand side, a wall was inserted to create more intimate areas. The furniture is classic modern "mix and match" and good use has been made of old photos and other items of local interest. Outside at the back there is an attractive drinking area and a massive car park. Food plays a big role here, the kitchen is open daily from noon. You can choose from a taster menu of upmarket bar food or go a-la-carte where a big selection is available – duck, salmon and steaks all feature along with many other options. On Sundays you can chose from one, two or three-course lunch options. There are various daily offers and deals, so look out for what is advertised.

  • Heaton Moor
    • Beer Shop 13 Kingsleigh Road Heaton Moor SK4 3QF

      Tucked away in deepest suburbia on Kingsleigh Road, the Beer Shop has long been something of a hidden oasis in this part of Stockport. It was opened 2011 by Dean Hilton as a retirement project. This rapidly got out of hand and Dean finally retired in September 2020 when the business was taken over by ex-pat Finn, Markus Sorsa. Since Markus took over he has refocused the Beer Shop so that is more of a bar and a bit less of a shop. That’s not to say there isn’t a good range of beers to take away. The focus here is mainly bottles and cans from local breweries plus a decent range of German bottled beers. Two to three cask beers are normally available. The plan is to offer one dark beer and two pales. These are supplemented by three keg beers – two from local brewers and one a German lager. There has also been a refurbishment and redecoration. There’s lots of natural wood and mixed furniture, with brightly coloured fabrics adding a 60s vibe. It’s all very pleasant and comfortable. In the warmer months there is also outside drinking at the front. NB as of January 2020 the pub is CASHLESS, ie it accepts CARDS ONLY.

    • Bottle Heaton Moor 9a Shaw Road Heaton Moor SK4 4AG Telephone07730 034326

      This modern bar comprises a small front room backing onto the bar, which features ten beer taps, and a very extensive canned and bottled beer, and cider range. The bar can accommodate between 25 - 40 people. While no handpumped ales are sold, the offering is that six of them are light-coloured craft ales that are a frequently-changing rotation of local, national and international (IPAs, APAs, DIPAs, DDHs, etc.) There is NO fixed tap allocation based on origin, however, three of the taps are always of sessionable strength, plus two with a higher ABV (usually above 5%) and one of a stout/porter variety. The seventh tap is always a genuine German Helles craft-lager. The cans and bottles they tend to stock are ones the supermarkets do not! This includes a large range of craft beers from the UK and around the world; these are to take away, or drink on the premises (this latter option adds a 50p premium). Wine is there too alongside artisanal gins from local maker Zymurgorium. A very popular feature is the small suntrap beer garden, located at the rear of the premises, this has seating for 15 people.

    • Crown 98-100 Heaton Moor Road Heaton Moor SK4 4NZ Telephone(0161) 425 7500

On entering from the front door a small snug is to the right and a larger, partitioned lounge to the left. The vault has its own entrance from the passage on the right of the pub. What is now the glass washing area was originally the off-sales.

    • Moortop 172 Heaton Moor Road Heaton Moor SK4 4DU Telephone(0161) 519 8679

      At the heart of the building is a detached house with a single-storey extension across the front and along one side. Inside the single, reverse L-shaped bar serves the large, comfortable but somewhat featureless open-plan lounge. Formerly operated by Steve Pilling, owner of the acclaimed Damson restaurant across the road; they are also involved with the Dockyard pub brand, plus the Dog and Partridge, Heaton Mersey. The Damson connection means that there was a strong food operation, as you might expect. Damson chef Dave Smith, assisted by Billy Yates, runs both kitchens and sources the same ingredients for each too. The menu covers small plates, freshly made pizzas, Pies of the Day, proper burgers and salads. In addition there’s a choice of roast lamb or beef on Sundays. Although food plays a greater role than it did in past years, the Moortop remains essentially a pub where you can just drop in for a beer or two.

      It says on the door: "Bar, Bottle Shop, Coffee House, Wine & Gin Stop". An interesting two-level layout with the serving counter-cum-bar up a short flight of steps and here there are some high stools and a short counter to rest your drinks. The lower level is eclectically furnished in a "mix and match" style with much use made of recycled materials. This all works very well to give a homely and comfortable effect. Coffees, teas and cakes are available alongside an extensive menu running from opening time until close. The breakfast menu runs until noon after which lunch is until 5pm. Here you can get imaginatively filled bagels. The evening menu features a variety of mixed platters (Italian meat, Mediterranean Cheese, European Cheese or a mixed Mediterranean platter). There’s a kids Menu from noon until 7pm and a variety of snacks too. The right hand wall of Nook is really devoted to beer; shelves on the lower level are essentially priced to take away with separate ranges for local, national and international craft beers in both bottle and can. The shelves are arranged in ascending order of strength too. Up the steps brings you to a chilled cabinet of bottled and canned beer more suited to drinking in. The selection is well thought-out with plenty of well-known, and less well-known, names from the craft brewing world. Supplementing the bottles and cans are five draught beers. Paulaner from Munich is the regular and the others include a changing guest beer often from a Greater Manchester brewer.

    • Duke of Wellington 2 - 4 Manchester Street Heywood OL10 1DL

      The Duke of Wellington is well worth a visit to see the splendid baronial style lounge which is largely intact from its creation in the 1930s. It is situated through a doorway to the right of the public bar and it is entered between two fine timber and glass screens. All around the room are benches with bench ends featuring barley twist columns and some old panelling above. The room looks like it has completely panelled walls but actually the top section is a clever design consisting of strips of timber on plaster walls that have been painted brown. Over the ‘panelling' either side of the fireplace is what looks like inglenook-style canopies. What looks like a plaster frieze with decoration of fruits and leaves is actually a plastic mould - just tap it and you realise it is hollow! There is a fine plasterwork ceiling, and a 1930s timber fireplace with ornate canopy-style mantelpiece which, unfortunately, has a reproduction Victorian-style fireplace. The original stained and leaded windows remain at the rear but the stained glass front windows have nearly all been replaced with plain windows. The light fittings are recent and rather over the top while the carpet is truly horrid but perhaps protects something interesting. Operating company is Admiral Taverns.

  • Hulme
    • Salutation 12 Higher Chatham Street Hulme M15 6ED Telephone(0161) 247 6465

      The Salutation is a gem of a pub hidden away from the busy Oxford Road. Its tucked away inside the expanded Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), next to their Students Union and just behind the Royal Northern College of Music.

      The pub is frequented by students and staff of both institutions as well as local residents. In 2011, MMU purchased the pub from Punch Taverns and in June 2013 the Student Union took control of running the pub.

      In 2019 they entered into an agreement with Bollington Brewery and consequently four handpumps of the six handpumps usually carry their beers, with one for cider. There is also a good selection of keg including two from Bollington, Derbyshire brewed Moravka lager and offerings from Shindigger. Food is available every day from a short menu (burgers, fish and chips plus small, tapas like plates) with vegetarian and vegan options.

      The layout of the pub is basically rectangular with a central bar area and beer garden at the rear. A sympathetic refurbishment of the interior took place in summer of 2014 which saw a lot of the original features & retained keeping the character and ambience of the pub intact while converting the former letting rooms upstairs to meeting & function rooms. In 2019 there was a further refresh and "spruce up" and which give the interior a "fresher feel" without destroying the atmosphere of the pub.

      A blue plaque on the outside of the pub commemorates that it was built on the site of lodgings used by The Reverend Patrick Bronte and his daughter and where that daughter Charlotte Bronte began to write Jayne Eyre.

      In a slightly less significant claim to fame, the pub was also the location of the last ever show by comedian the late Chris Sievey - famed as his alter ego Frank Sidebottom - on 11th June 2010 commemorated by a plaque inside.

      The CPA Social Club has been established since 1980 with a long-standing history within the local area.

      The building was bought by the adjacent Rossendale Print Works in 1870 and in 1897 the Print Works Social Club was formed and took over the premises, adding a bowling green and upstairs reading library. In 1899 the Calico Printers Association was founded and incorporated the Rossendale Printing Company into its organisation, hence the club became known as the CPA Social Club, and still retains that title today.

      It continued to be used as such until in 1980 due to the decline in the Textile Industry the Print Works closed, and the then operating company Tootals handed the club over to its members to be run as a private members club.

    • Bank 57 Mosley Street Manchester M2 3FF Telephone(0161) 228 7560

      This occupies a handsome Greek Revival building that is some 200 years old. Originally built to house the Portico Library (which still occupies the upper floor), the pub occupies the former newsroom. In the 1990s this was part of the Firkin brew-pub family, so was styled as the “Forgery & Firkin” (that said, it never brewed on the premises, instead being supplied by the Flea & Firkin across town). Now however, the Bank is part of the Nicholson’s chain and so has something of an emphasis on cask beers with the regular offerings being supplemented by guests from around the country – and often from unusual micros. The largely open-plan interior is neatly split up and retains many original features that give it an air of grandeur. In some respects it is evocative of a gentlemen’s club, with a quiet, solid and purposeful air. The pub may close early if it is very quiet at the last hour. The house beer Nicholson's Pale Ale is brewed by St Austell.

  • Moss Nook
    • Tatton Arms Trenchard Drive Moss Nook M22 5LZ Telephone(0161) 437 2505

      A couple of twenty-first century refurbishments brought back life to a pub which at times seemed to have rather lost its way. In past years this was a 'Good Beer Guide' regular, being a classic, largely unspoilt pub having a country pub feel to it. Extensive wood panelling and low ceilings set the olde-worlde tone around the bar. Posing tables in this area cater for the stand-up drinker. Although there is a stronger emphasis on food, the pub still has a traditional feel with a variety of interesting and characterful drinking spaces. The extended and rather smart outdoor drinking area at the back of the pub faces in the direction of the airport runway. The beer garden is great place to watch planes landing at next door Manchester Airport. Note that seasonal beer is usually only on during summer months, and in the busy Christmas period.

To the front right is a large lounge next to a stage area that looks on to a fine fireplace. There's a small snug to the left, and beyond that a separate vault room. At the rear on the left is a further room, this one with a pool table. Images of old Moss Side form the somewhat spartan decor in this otherwise comfortable pub. NB, the pub accepts CASH only.

  • Stockport
    • Alexandra 195 Northgate Road, Edgeley Stockport SK3 9NJ Telephone07479 942646

      Large, impressive Grade II listed house (on CAMRA's National Inventory of historic pub interiors too) set in a residential area away from the centre of Edgeley. Consisting of five rooms - Bar Parlour, Commercial, Tap Room, Smoke, and Billiard room, that are almost in the state they were built in 1911. Each room is simply and neatly decorated, and each bears the inscription of its purpose in the etched door glass. All of these radiate from a superbly tiled drinking lobby with its curved bar counter, and a modest display of brasses and a ship's wheel. The tiling continues up an impressive staircase (that originally would have taken you to the hotel's letting rooms), this has a wonderful arched, leaded window at its head. More leaded and faceted glass survives in the form of screens, and in the top lights of the Bar Parlour. Most rooms have the original fitted seating around their walls, and impressive door casings with arched pediments. The Billiard room, containing a pool table these days, is a high-ceiling space reached via a corridor. Outside is a neat cobbled and covered drinking area divided into two raised parts. This is more than an architectural study however; this is a pub with a good local following in the community. A quiz takes place on an evening mid-week, whilst darts teams use the vault to its full.

    • Angel Inn 19-20 Market Place Stockport SK1 1UN Telephone(0161) 429 0251

      Locally owned and run by local people who care about cask beer and the environment in which it is presented. It is a remarkable story, the owners have totally transformed the once redundant space, plus a former shop next door in to a multi-room pub. Very well decorated with a mix of plain colours, married with wood panelling here and there. A sunken seating area with real fire and sofas adds an air of comfort and class to the establishment. The extensive rear yard is a drinking area-cum-entertainment space where it is planned that bands will play from time to time. A most welcome further addition to the drinking scene in Stockport.

    • Arden Arms 23 Millgate Stockport SK1 2LX Telephone(0161) 480 2185

      Grade II listed and on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors, the Arden’s distinctive curved, glazed bar, its hidden snug (accessed by going through the bar, and said to be one of only four such snugs in the UK), chandeliers and a long-case clock create a Victorian ambience. Gourmet lunches, quiz nights and wine tastings, however add a contemporary touch. Conveniently close to Stockport’s historic market and the Peel Centre shops, the place is abuzz at lunchtimes, but more intimate in the evenings. The cellars retain body niches in the walls, testament to the building’s former use as a mortuary. A recently added smoking lounge, and a beautiful courtyard where live music is played on occasions gives you views of the old stables and outbuildings. An unmissable gem. Stockport CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2009. NB doors close at 11pm.

    • Armoury 31 Shaw Heath, Edgeley Stockport SK3 8BD Telephone(0161) 480 8037

      This Victorian pub was refitted in the 1920s and remains largely intact since then, with a host of original fittings and evidence of ownership by the old Bell’s Brewery still evident in the interior glasswork. There really is a room for everyone in this pub - there is a bright, brassy lounge, drinking lobby, complete with its own bar counter, a darts room at the back and an excellent traditional vault, arguably one of the best in town. The sense of tradition is heightened by the frequent sight of a cask of the powerful Old Tom on the bar counter. The lounge walls feature memorabilia of the Cheshire Regiment. Convenient for Edgeley Park football ground. Outside at the back is a good, secluded beer garden, which can be quite a suntrap in the summer months. The Armoury has a more mature clientele, with a strong community involvement, and friendly and knowledgeable staff. Darts are very much a feature here; nine teams play here often with two leagues playing the same night. A Social Club organises outings, party nights, artist nights and a Christmas outing for the pensioners amongst the events. The upstairs room sometimes hosts live music sessions. The commitment to quality shines through in every aspect of the operation here. Its success gives the lie to those pub pundits who say this type of pub has no future. A new menu was introduced in late 2024, and it goes as far as making all of the sauces served with the dishes, in-house.
      On Stockport County FC home match days
      The pub will open 30 minutes earlier than stated. As of August 2024 - HOME football fans ONLY please. Also note: the kitchen will offer a reduced menu on those match days. This allows the pub to keep things running smoothly during the football rush while delivering the quality that diners expect.

    • Bakers Vaults Market Place Stockport SK1 1EU

      This excellent market pub has a unique atmosphere being both cosy and relaxed yet lively and vibrant. Reinvigorated by a thorough refurbishment in mid-2014 by the pub-trio of Jonny Booth, Jamie Langrish and Rupert Hill, who also run pubs in Manchester’s Northern Quarter pubs Gullivers, and Castle, the Eagle Inn in Salford, and, historically, the Parlour in Chorlton. Although merely a single, large room, it is an architecturally impressive space. This Grade II listed building (originally styled as the George and Dragon) and was built around 1775 on the foundations of the old Stockport castle. The original building, demolished in the late 19th century, was renamed the Bakers Vaults and rebuilt in the ‘gin palace’ style. The bohemian feel is enhanced by high ceilings and feature arch windows, the general decor, decorated in a grey and dark blue colour scheme, with the central bar towards the back of the building giving the building a spaciousness it once lacked. Behind that bar is a small lounge-type area with low leather sofas for those who wish to escape the bustle of the main area. It is one of the very few Robinsons houses to serve guest ales (these being supplied through Titanic Brewery of Burslem). The guest beers tend to include a dark ale; a strong IPA; and a pale session beer. NB a dress code applies: no jogging bottoms or sportswear (any sport). Dogs and children: both are allowed, inside and outside, the latter until 9pm.

    • Blossoms 2 Buxton Road, Heaviley Stockport SK2 6NU Telephone(0161) 222 4150

      An excellent, unspoilt local, the interior incorporates a vault, front lounge and very cosy snug around the central bar. Given a makeover by Robinson's in 2012 turning it into one of their ‘Ale Shrine’ pubs, giving it a striking decor and an air of elegance. At the rear the now disused cobbled street sports benches for outside drinking, whilst ingeniously the former outside gents toilet is now the smoking area. A large function room is to be found upstairs. This pub is one of the real ale highlights of Stockport offering superb examples of the Robinson's ales on offer. Built as a coaching house in the 18th century, The Blossoms is reported to be an exit place for an escape tunnel from Bramall Hall and was used for the planning meetings when designing St Georges Church, located a short walk along the A6. The pub has excellent service, a warm friendly atmosphere and is well worth a visit. When available, the Trooper beer alternates bar space with Double Hop.

    • Calverts Court 13 St Petersgate Stockport SK1 1EB Telephone(0161) 474 6750

      The interior can be likened to Doctor Who's Tardis, in that is much larger inside than it looks to be from the outside. It is one very long room with the bar dominating most of the right hand side. On the opposing wall are a series of alcoves which provide a degree of privacy to drinkers. A seated drinking patio at the front gives a continental feel in summer, whilst just inside a sofa populated area makes for a comfortable relaxed drink. The soft lighting throughout creates a warm ambiance to this JD Wetherspoon conversion of a former furniture store. Look out for regular mini-beer festivals in addition to the chain’s national events. Seldom less than busy, and popular with a variety of drinkers.

    • Cocked Hat 2 Market Place Stockport SK1 1EW Telephone(0161) 480 4446

      Located just behind Stockport’s famous indoor market, with the front door facing the main entrance of St. Mary’s church (the churchyard was used as a location in the 1960s film "A Taste of Honey"). To the left is the bar and a standing drinking area, to the right is a larger room (originally two rooms) where plenty of seating is available for the visitor to take in the many photos that adorn the walls of old Stockport and its market. Up to five guest ales, typically from national breweries. There are blackboards with tasting notes to help pick the right ale for you. Described by licensee Mark as a real pub for real people, serving real ale. Even the music is real, with "proper musicians" performing every Friday and Saturday. Traditional pub grub available daily except Mondays. Sunday roast.

    • Corner Bar Market Hall, Market Place Stockport SK1 1UN Telephone(0161) 474 2500

      Somewhat inconspicuous, and almost anonymous bar set in the north west corner of the Victorian market hall.

Shared seating area with other businesses in the hall.

    • Crown Inn 154 Heaton Lane Stockport SK4 1AR Telephone07716 771752

      A former multi-award winning free house. A fair choice of mostly national brand beers are usually to be had. Four neatly decorated rooms radiate from the congested bar, two compact snugs, a large lounge with feature overmantle mirror which most regulars regard as the best room in the pub. From 2023, this room houses a pool table, which seems somewhat incongruous., Meanwhile to the right is an overspill room with plenty of standing space. Live music is a feature of weekends, with the large yard and attractive outdoor seating area to the rear often show-casing larger acts such as local rock bands, folk, acoustic and more. This tends to operate from March till November. It serves too as a beer garden and barbecue area. This space has an outdoor bar that operates during the music events (no cask ale served from here though). NB. Strictly over-18s only,

    • Duke of York 113 Buxton Road, Heaviley Stockport SK2 6LR Telephone(0161) 483 2234

      A three-storey multi-room pub that has been converted into semi-open plan whilst retaining distinct areas. Refurbished in late 2021 in a ‘modern traditional’ style, using a warm and welcoming palette of greys, creams and browns, with lots of natural wood, too. The focus of the pub is now is family-friendly and as an eating venue. Three rooms are served by a central bar on the right – a cosy snug, front right, a large lounge, with plenty of padded fixed seating, running from front to back on the left, and at the rear the former games room has been converted into a dining room. At the back there is an extensive paved drinking area, which will eventually be served by an outside bar. In past times, it had an off-on-off relationship with cask ale often due to poor sales, in fact the pub was keg-only for a period in 2013-14.

    • Grange Club 151 Edgeley Road, Edgeley Stockport SK3 0TL Telephone(0161) 480 3696

    • Midland 19 Wellington Road North, Heaton Norris Stockport SK4 1HJ Telephone(0161) 429 6578

      In 2016, Stockport Metro Borough Council had plans to demolish the pub to make way for a road scheme. CAMRA, Stockport Heritage Trust and the owner campaigned to save this 1833 pub which has many original features, including hand-made tiles. It was built in the reign of King William IV; Stockport has very few remaining buildings from this pre-Victorian period. The good news was that the road scheme was re-designed, the pub was safe and its heritage importance had been confirmed. The message on the sign on the outside of the pub declares 'A Warm and Friendly Welcome' and the Midland certainly lives up to its promise. This comfortable pub had the distinction of being the first to reintroduce real ale onto this part of the A6 corridor back in 2010. In mid-2013 it became a true free-house under the ownership of licensee, Mark Hayter. In years gone by the pub endured an unfortunate period when it was styled as Dillon’s Whistling Jig, a lightly themed Irish house. Happily that theme ran its course, and the licensee of the time, lovingly restored the pub to its previous glory. A very distinctive feature of this multi-roomed house, is the lovely brown art-nouveau style tiling, combined with a relaxed welcome in creating a warm friendly atmosphere. The beer range is always enlarged at weekends.

    • Midway 263 Newbridge Lane, Portwood Stockport SK1 2NX Telephone(0161) 480 2068

      A detached building situated between a main road and the River Goyt. The Midway reopened in June 2008 after refurbishment and since that time describes itself as “contemporary eating and drinking”, with the emphasis on eating. The interior is divided into two areas: a restaurant and bar. The latter can appear cluttered with furniture to accommodate even more diners, yet it is so tastefully and stylishly done that you can forgive them that. For that special occasion, there is a downstairs area primarily set aside for dining. Always seems to be busy. The beer garden overlooks the river and associated industrial heritage.

    • Navigation 1 Manchester Road, Heaton Norris Stockport SK4 1TY Telephone(0161) 480 6626

      The Navigation remains the only cask ale pub on Lancashire Hill. It was built to service the workers from the flourmill next door (Nelstrops) and the bargees on the nearby now closed and filled-in canal who finished their journey with a well earned pint. The central bar services both the lounge in which daily newspapers are provided and the smaller vault which has a pool table. The outside drinking area to the rear is invitingly entitled the Bear Garden. Now located on the busy roundabout at the head of Lancashire Hill, this local Pub of the Year 2003. For some years, until the mid-2010s it was Congleton brewer, Beartown Brewery’s only pub in Stockport.

    • Nelson Tavern 98 Wellington Road South Stockport SK1 3UH Telephone(0161) 637 4300

      A building of some age (see prominent plaque on outside wall), it is a large, corner pub that attracts the nearby Stockport College crowd, also very handy for the municipal buildings, and Art Gallery / War Memorial. Although opened-out internally, the vestiges of walls and pillars produce intimate areas in the pub. A good-looking bar and an octagonal-mirrored ceiling piece add interest. The beer range is modest, but may well be extended if there is demand. There are active darts and pools teams, an open-mic night is every Thu (see http://skdl.co/CKTf/bqSISyEjqE), while bands and groups play occasionally on a Fri or Sat (see details posted at the pub). NB. pub may close early on midweek evenings.

    • Nursery 258 Green Lane, Heaton Norris Stockport SK4 2NA Telephone(0161) 432 2044

      As you walk in the door of this 1930s pub, the door mat beneath your feet proudly proclaims that this was CAMRA’s National Pub of the Year in 2001 and looking around you can see why. Off the lobby area there is a main lounge which serves as a dining room at lunchtime and what was a smoking room. With a magnificent wood panelled interior the pub is on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Historic Interiors, it is now a Grade II listed building. Through a separate entrance to the side is the traditional vault and to the rear is a lovingly tended bowling green. There is nothing better than sitting with your pint watching a game on a warm summer's evening. Tucked away at the end of a cobbled street the Nursery is at the heart of the community, attracting a great mix of people to live music, quizzes, as well as local groups meeting in the function room upstairs. The quality of the pub goes without question and the Nursery is truly one of Stockport’s must-visit pubs! Voted local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2013.

    • Old Rectory 48 Churchgate Stockport SK1 1YG Telephone(0161) 429 0060

      This multi-roomed pub-restaurant opened in 1991, having been converted from a Georgian rectory (last used for ecclesiastical purposes between 1951 and 1965 when the Bishop of Stockport lived there). It still maintains a country house feel with plenty of dark wood and plush décor. Food is available for most of the day, with the conservatory functioning as a restaurant. Accommodation is available in the Premier Inn built in the extensive grounds at the back; to the front the large beer garden offers fine views over Stockport. Despite the emphasis on food and accommodation, the beer is always top notch, the pub having gained both Cask Marque accreditation and a Beautiful Beer Gold Award.

    • Olde Vic 1 Chatham Street, Edgeley Stockport SK3 9ED

      The first Stockport pub to offer a changing range of guest beers and still flying the flag (or two in the Vic’s case) for choice and quality, as evidenced by the pump clip ‘ceiling’ above the bar. This is a tight ship affably run by larger than life licensee Steve Brannan. No swearing rules are strictly enforced but this is an easy-going pub with a warm welcome for everyone. To the rear of the pub is a stepped marquee covered area that may be available for private functions during the summer months, and effectively doubles the size of what is quite a tiny pub. An outside bar can be brought into use when very busy. Six handpumps dispense an ever-changing range of guest beers, mostly focusing upon local micro-breweries. Details of these are displayed on the "pumpotron" TV screen. You can also sample three different ales in third-of-a-pint measures for the price of a pint. Alternate Weds are folk music nights. While the interior is basically open-plan, it has a multi-room feel and the cosy atmosphere is enhanced by the open fire in the winter months. The atmosphere is enhanced by the decoration in classic 1930s junk shop style with memorabilia from forgotten eras adorning the walls, shelves and any other available area - all tastefully done and providing interesting topics of conversation, with Steve being able to provide a history of most, if not all, of the items on view. All together this is a fine must-visit pub! Note the pub is only open in the evenings. Sunday closing time may vary. On other days, last entry is 10.30pm.

    • Prince Albert 107 Castle Street, Edgeley Stockport SK3 9AR Telephone(0121) 272 5499

      Converted to real ale in 2012. The pub was opened out many years ago and in doing so, may have lost much of its character, but the pictures of old Stockport and of course Stockport County FC around the walls give some warmth and character to the place. With the bar at the back, there is plenty of room at the front. For some time this was under the same licensee holding as the nearby "Bobby Peel" (Sir Robert Peel).

    • Queens 11 Great Portwood Street, Portwood Stockport SK1 2DW Telephone(0161) 480 7144

      A detached, rendered public house opposite the Peel Centre. A single bar along the rear wall serves all areas of this open plan pub. Run since July 2001 by the affable, Sue Igbon, the Queens has become very much a locals’ community pub with a loyal band of regulars supplemented by a fair amount of passing trade. It’s basically a wet-led pub with food restricted to sandwiches which are available from noon every day. The pub was given an external makeover a couple of years ago then in in early 2017 Robinsons gave the interior a bit of a sparkle to match that. Everything is bright and airy while still keeping a traditional feel, note the vintage pictures of Stockport which adorn the walls. Look out too for Sue’s collection of bottle openers hanging behind the bar – donations are always welcome! One new feature is the spectacular surround around one of the two dartboards (the pub hosts three teams) which was painted by one of the regulars. It’s very eye catching and is a real feature. Apart from the darts there is also televised live sport and occasional live music. In fact, popular local band the Casino Allstars practices at the pub on most Thursday nights and occasionally put on a live performance too. The Queens has adopted Francis House as its charity and funds are raised by a weekly bonus ball and also a book club. There are three letting rooms which are popular with contractors working locally.

    • Red Bull 14 Middle Hillgate Stockport SK1 3AY Telephone(0161) 480 1286

      This imposing pub with its white exterior and well-worn front steps has long been locally popular besides being a favourite on the ‘Hillgate Stagger’. It had a substantial refurbishment in 2008 when the outside toilets became a thing of the past. It is still a genuine pub but it has made a few concessions to twenty-first century trends. There has been an extension on the left side into the adjacent building to allow a more significant eating area. The pub has six different areas including the space in front of the facing long bar and some areas have signs such as ‘The Snug’ and ‘The Old Cottage’. The far right room features a pool table and a dart board; the pool table can be pushed aside if that room is required for a function, etc. There is seating aplenty of various kinds, decor features pictures of old Stockport and rural scenes that adorn the walls, there is a TV screen to the right of the bar. The two standard Robinson's beers are usually supplemented by the seasonal ale of the time. For sustenance full menus are provided (lunch and evening) plus daily specials at competitive prices. The Red Bull certainly aims to maintain its flagship operation within the Robinson's Estate.

    • Runaway Brewery Tap 9-11 Astley Street Stockport SK4 1AW

      Large, spartanly decorated L-shaped room on the ground floor of a former metal works factory. This features the bar which occupies the righthand space, with a dividing wall and glass door showcasing the brewery in the lefthand area (brewery tours are to be held every Friday at 1600hrs, and the first Saturday of every month at 1230hrs). The decor is rustic and echoes its industrial past - the make-up of furniture is eclectic and features a lot of large refectory-style tables and benches, even so these give it a communal, even cosy, feel. A further room-cum-event space is available upstairs, this provides further seating. The bar features handpulls for the cask beers, plus a bank of taps on an adjacent wall for the keg / membrane products. A door leads you through to the yard and garden, this also gives access to the disabled toilet. Other toilets are accessed through the beer garden and into the micro brewing space. The yard is home to the pizza seller (Honest Crust) too. A brewery shop is on-site and its opening hours are as per the Tap. NB: SALES CEASE 30 MINUTES BEFORE CLOSING TIMES SHOWN HERE. The brewery and tap were relocated here from their city centre premises - Runaway Brew Tap Manchester NB. CARD payments only.

    • Spinning Top 20 Wellington Road South Stockport SK4 1AA Telephone07737 727876

      Handily located for the next-door Garrick Theatre. A somewhat spartan interior is broken up by red columns and a smattering of tables, and sofas. Fixed seating is set on the perimeter of the spacious room, the bar is on the right side. Coffees and teas are available, supplemented by two changing cask guest ales sourced both locally and nationally, a number of draught ciders, plus additionally an interesting selection of bottles, and a good selection of keg lagers and German beers. Styling itself as Stockport's premier live music venue, the music features on three or four nights a week, including most Thursdays. The pub has a display of local artists' works on its walls.

    • Stockport Labour Club Lloyd Street, Heaton Norris Stockport SK4 1QP Telephone(0161) 480 5190

      This modern club sports a moderate sized bar area with adjacent meetings rooms and function/concert room with a stage, both served by a central bar.

Welcomes members and guests. Functions catered for.

    • Sun & Castle 54 Middle Hillgate Stockport SK1 3DL Telephone(0161) 476 0896

      A good example of Holt’s traditional style of decor. A long vault, a large lounge and snug, an attractive bar, excellent use of dark wood and mirrors both on the walls and around the bar. A very clean and well upholstered house. Although there are two entrances, the pool room-cum-vault can now only be accessed from the corridor leading to the gents toilet. Sing-alongs are popular at weekends. Holts haven’t always owned the Sun & Castle, for many years it was a Tetley pub, and for a lot of those sold no cask beer. Holts are also responsible for replacing most of the original inter-war fittings with a mock Victorian interior and for once this really seems to fit the bill with pride of place going to a spectacular 1890s bar back (which is in fact a late 20th century addition). So what you have now is a warm interior with lots of dark wood plus red, brown and cream fixtures and fittings adding up to a classic “traditional pub” feel. To the right is a cosy lounge and behind that bigger rambling room complete with a small stage. To the left is a spacious and well used vault. Run by landlady, Ronnie who has been here on and off since 2000. She retired in 2012 but was tempted back for six weeks – and is still there! She has been in the trade for over 30 years and seems to have spent most of those on Hillgate as before coming to the Sun & Castle she had lengthy spells at the nearby, now closed Golden Lion, and Pack Horse. There’s no food here but plenty of entertainment. There’s the Karaoke League on Mondays (in which the pub has been very successful) and karaoke also features on Friday and Saturday. Darts are in the vault on Monday and Tuesday. NB. in the early part of the week, the pub may close early if trade is slack.

    • Swan with Two Necks 36 Princes Street Stockport SK1 1RY Telephone(0161) 480 2185

      Narrow-fronted with a mock-Tudor facade. Mercifully saved from a failed shopping scheme then rejuvenated in late 2008 by a young couple with ideas and obvious vigour. Impressively panelled throughout in light oak to a familiar Robinsons house-style, with labelled doors to match. From the front door there is a vault; then the bustling bar-corridor; a cosy, button-back seating snug with a feature sky-light; and at the rear a further small lounge-cum-diner. Here, a lunchtime Pie & Mash menu is occasionally available (please check beforehand). Outside is a compact, walled drinking area. Following some external refurbishment works in 2018 the outside rear areas including boundary wall, railings, and gate were all improved to provide an enclosed beer garden with a large awning. The former outside toilets were also improved and incorporated in the main structure at that time. This area also allows access to the nearby Red Rock entertainment complex.

    • Thread 22 Market Place Stockport SK1 1EU Telephone(0161) 989 1317

As of March 2024, they eventually hope to open seven days a week. Two cask ales at present, but that could increase to four if demand warrants. Beer selection is done by the team from the Angel, but the idea is not to duplicate beers between the two locations.

    • Wellington 59-61 Wellington Road South Stockport SK1 3RU Telephone07976 516311

      Fronting the busy A6 road, and opposite the former Grand Central complex, this comfortable and welcoming pub was created out of two former shop units. The exterior has full-height windows either side of the entrance; these can be opened in warmer weather to create a cafe feel to the place. Inside you will find exposed structural steelwork married to bare brick walls, and sanded wooden flooring; these are coupled to displays of clocks (none showing the right time, incidently), bookshelves, old radios, and plenty of mirrors. Two wood-burning stoves add warmth in cooler periods. The front room has a mix of dining room furniture and sofas, then down three steps you get to the "Snubbery" which is a more intimate and relaxing space - this has sofas and coffee tables. This also gives access to the toilets, and to the outside drinking yard, dubbed the "Courtyard". A TV above the front room fireplace usually shows TV news with subtitles and the sound muted. Weekends see entertainment in the form of a DJ soul and Motown evening on Friday, and live artists performing on Saturdays. Note after 7pm on Fridays it is over 25s only, and no 'sportswear' is permitted.

      Former Vaux, and before that Wilson's house on the junction with Wellington Road. Two-room house with central bar that somewhat dominates the space as you enter the left-hand room. There is more space to be had beyond the bar though; all decorated very neatly. The separate, right-hand room is quieter and is similarly decorated. The pub had an off-on-off relationship with cask ales in the past, and indeed did sell cask ale for a year from Sept 2013. For a couple of periods in 2015 and 2017 it came under new management (following a fallow period) and was selling cask ale once more! Started selling cask again in 2022 as beer in pins became available on the Punch list.

There are 5 handpumps on the bar, but only two or three are normally in use. Last orders is 1 hour before closing time. There is an area to the right of the front entrance reserved for drinkers to have a quiet pint and chat whilst those wishing to dine use the rest of the pub.

There are a few seats at the front of the pub which are well used in the warmer days when one can enjoy the views and listen to the River Irwell passing by.

    • Bird I'th Hand Flixton Road Urmston M41 5DN Telephone(0161) 748 3241

      The Bird is a substantial old building dating back to the late 19th century. It was originally a Groves & Whitnall’s house called the Bird in Hand, and one of the original stained glass windows survives to testify to that name. In late 2016 it was refurbished and the ground floor rooms have been opened up. The Games Room or vault has moved upstairs to the first floor where a very fine hammerbeam roof can be admired (along with a very similar function room). The ground floor lounge now has more of an emphasis on food, with an open kitchen that focuses on Italian food and particularly pizzas. There is a beer garden behind the pub, along with a sizeable smoking area (not strictly a shelter as there is no proper roof to it). A small part of the extensive car park has been converted to become an outdoor drinking area at the front of the pub. Food service: 12-9 for main meals. Opens at 9 on Saturdays and Sundays for breakfast. Freshly baked pizza available from 12 until late. Sunday roasts now available on Sunday afternoons. Additional info: Under new management (again)

    • Lord Nelson 49 Stretford Road Urmston M41 9LG Telephone07827 850255

      The Nelly is a great wedding cake of a building, something akin to a French château, and quite unlike any other building locally. Built as a hotel in 1805, it became a pub around 1877 when it was rebuilt "with modern notions of capacious elevations and luxury". During the 19th century it also served as a courthouse for the Manor of Urmston. It is a striking sight, particularly after dark when the floodlights are on.

      Entering from the main road, there are two cosy rooms with soft lighting on each side, a three-sided “peninsular” bar, a middle room with brighter lights, a Spartan vault with darts area, and a small beer garden. The furniture is mostly bench seating around the walls, supplemented with tables, stools and a few high chairs around equally high tables. It is very much a drinker’s pub, the only food being crisps and nuts.

      During the day the pub is a quiet, relaxing place, but that all changes when there are big football matches on (the pub broadcasts Sky, BT and Prime games on TVs in every room). Tuesday night features a very popular quiz (from about 9.30), and Saturday night has the famous Disco Nelly in the vault.

      The Nelly and its long serving licensees are deservedly famous for their fundraising activities on behalf of local charities like The Christie cancer centre. This is one of many reasons why the local branch has voted it as Branch Community Pub of the Year on several occasions.

      Please note that the pub has a strict age policy – over 18 years of age only, in all areas.

      If you use a wheelchair, you'll find access is easier through the side door from the car park. Unfortunately there is still no disabled toilet.

      Dogs are generally welcome but may be upset by the noise and crowds when big football matches are broadcast.

    • Prairie Schooner Taphouse 33 Flixton Road Urmston M41 5AW

      Ostensibly a micro pub but actually a decent size, with two distinct seating areas either side of an island bar. The premises were formerly a shop. The emphasis now is on fermented malt and fruit, consumed in a tranquil atmosphere (no TV, but some background music). No meals are available, but nuts and nibbles for sale. Lovers of whisky, gin and wine will also find something of interest. Four hand-pulled real ales and eight keg beers are served from the above ground cellar behind the bar. All cask beer remains independent and mainly local, with local and American keg offerings. They have over 200 canned, chilled, local and continental beers from the likes of Cantillon, Chimay, Schneider and Augustiner amongst others. Keg cider from Hogans and bottled ciders from the likes of Dunham Press, High Peak and SiDa. Cans can be taken consumed on or off the premises. There are two weekly quiz nights, a music quiz on Monday and a general knowledge on Tuesdays starting at 8pm. There are occasional DJs and live music. Note that "Last Orders" is 30 minutes before the quoted closing times, and they can close early on quiet nights.

    • Tim Bobbin 41 Flixton Road Urmston M41 5AN Telephone(0161) 749 8239

      This is a typical Wetherspoon's pub, with a modern look and layout in a building that used to be I believe the gas board showrooms. It has a steady daytime trade and can be extremely busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Earlier in the day, and earlier in the week, it is a quiet and civilised place. It’s fully accessible, as the many mobility scooters testify. The beers range across all strengths, colours and flavours, with perhaps a predominance of strong pale ales. Customers' suggestions strongly influence the beer ordering. The cider on offer is very much the major brands with only one on draft (keg)and the remainder in bottles, none of which fulfil the criteria for Camra’s real cider. Although the pub is essentially one large room, it is broken up into separate areas by the entrance aisle and by raised flooring at the front. Looking up there is an elaborate ventilation system which may have been mainly hidden behind a false ceiling. There is an unheated smoking area to the side of the building and a fenced off pavement space at the front for outdoor drinking. Food is much what you would expect in a Wetherspoon's pub, but there are often some good value special days such as Tuesday steak day and Thursday curry day. Although the pub opens at 8am every day no alcohol is served before 9am.

    • Urmston Stretford Road Urmston M41 9WE Telephone(0161) 864 3217

      A popular community pub, refurbished and extended in 2012 to give greater prominence to food, and refurbished again in 2019.

The pub is situated on the main road approximately half way between Urmston and Stretford. There is ample car parking and four bus routes stop outside. The pub is fully accessible. Entrances at the front and on the east side lead directly into the main bar area where the four handpumps are prominent. To the left are predominantly dining areas, with a kind of conservatory at the far end. It can be used as a function room, in which case it is divided off by curtains. There are tables outside, some more or less in the car park, others to the rear, where there is also a children’s play area. The car park on the west side of the pub now features two electric vehicle charging points.

    • Urmston Men's Club 82 Higher Road Urmston M41 9AP Telephone(0161) 748 2800

The first floor, which is only accessible by a staircase, is given over to snooker and pool tables. At the rear of the club building is a crown bowling green - one of the reasons for establishing the club in 1923. Today there are three bowling teams, two snooker teams and a new pool team, all competing in local leagues with much success. There's entertainment every Friday night, alternating between professional singers and karaoke, and on some Saturday nights. On Thursday nights there's Bingo in the Concert Room and a Quiz in the lounge. And there's a free to play Juke Box! It will take money if you insist and the proceeds go to local charities.

      The World's Biggest Liar competition began here, started by the first winner, landlord Will Ritson in the 19th century (read more at http://www.santonbridgeinn.com/#!the-worlds-bigest-liar/cbic), along with a crag rat competition where the challenge was to get around the walls of the snug on the shelving! Whilst that is no longer encouraged, there is plenty more to do and look at, both inside and out, whilst enjoying great locally produced food and a choice of seven changing, but mostly Cumbrian, ales and a real cider, with a real fire in winter and outdoor tables in summer! The historic photos of the birth of rock-climbing and the outfits they wore are enlightening. Outside, there is Sca Fell England's tallest mountain on the doorstep, to look up at or to climb, with the Pike and Great Gable adjacent. England's smallest church is a stone's throw away, with its memorials to fallen climbers, and you pass England's deepest lake on the way there. The pub has accommodation, chalets and there is a campsite next door and the valley head, accessed by a twisting and turning single track road, can get very busy in Summer.

      Modern bar serving a changing array of live and keg beers from an array of brewers. This is a very relaxed and competently-run bar in which one could easily idle away many hours. Whilst it may seem large from the outside, beyond the extensive terrace with palm trees to the front, the bar area inside is not really that deep. Fashioned from two shops that have been knocked together, the bar spans the two areas with a rear snug fitted cosily in the right portion to the rear. In front of the snug a DJ will play records at weekends suitable to, and at a volume suitable for, the time of day and mood. The décor is very much a mix of past and present, with a 60s wall unit housing an old radio and other bric-a-brac, a painting of Christ’s last supper sits beneath a mirror-ball, and the light fittings are very diverse indeed. Coconut lampshades hang over the bar, whilst an old set of brass keg taps has been set into the ceiling above the entrance to the snug.

      Converted at some expense to the Metropolitan pub and restaurant, it is West Didsbury's busiest pub by far. It was sold around mid-2008. To say that this is impressive would be a gross understatement. Progressing through the usually very crowded bar, there is a lofty restaurant with hammer beam roof trusses. Large outdoor drinking area, where it has also been extended into the former stables with an outside bar (normally with cask Landlord on offer too) for better weather. Food forms a large part of the offering here, and you can dine almost anywhere in the place. Although very busy, the service was its usual good efficiency. You may notice that when the place is very busy, it does become very loud. And that's only through people talking, not music or such.

The bar is next, opposite that is another multi-panelled screened area with fireplace. Beyond all that is a more open lounge area where TV can be viewed. Photos of old Didsbury provide added interest. History: At one point this was a tiny, narrow John Smiths house that had become somewhat run-down. Taken over by Manchester brewer, Joseph Holt in the late 1990s, it was extended and transformed into a pleasant drinking house.

Notice the very large number of wines that are stocked on the bar. Food is served in the form of plates of cheese, oysters, pates, and artisanal charcuterie are available.

    • Red Lion 532 Wilmslow Road Withington M20 4BT Telephone(0161) 434 2441

      The oldest pub in Withington (also Grade II listed) and the only one of the three Lions in the village remaining. This 17th century inn appears to be a ‘pub for all seasons’. The long, low whitewashed exterior festooned with hanging baskets gives an ‘olde worlde’ impression. The interior presents a similar bewildering contrast, with the original structure at the front of the building being a low-ceilinged vault area. As you progress back through the building, it opens up into a larger bar with a more mainstream feel that leads off into a cavernous conservatory and access to the garden. The garden was a former bowling green which for now consists of an extensive and most welcome outdoor seating area, making this a very popular pub in summer. This mix of environments encourages a broad mix of clientele. An extensive refurbishment by owner's, JW Lees in early 2022 saw the focus of the pub change markedly from that of a TV sports pub to a more upmarket, dining and drinking experience.

    • Victoria 438 Wilmslow Road Withington M20 3BW Telephone(0161) 434 2600

      Built in the late 1800s before being bought by Hydes in 1904 and extended into the adjoining off licence in the 1980s. The period exterior with its etched glass windows hides a large open-plan compartmentalised interior. This area mixes local residents with one of the largest student populations in Europe, who bolster the trade in the evenings. This mix of clientele ensures that the pub is busy at lunchtimes and can be packed in the evenings. The pub also benefits from big screen sports and is an increasingly popular venue for watching the game. It boasts a popular poker school on Monday evenings which uses three dedicated card tables at the rear of the pub. It also has enthusiastic darts teams, alternating live music (first Saturday of month is Motown) and a disco / DJ (Fri/Sat) and weekly quiz nights (Thu/Sun) when competition between students and locals can be boisterous but is always good-natured. At the rear of the pub there is an attractive outdoor beer patio where you can enjoy a cold drink in the sunshine. Discounts off cask beer on Mondays. Although food is not served, you are welcome to bring in your own from one of the many nearby takeaways.

    • Withington Public Hall & Institute 2 Burton Road Withington M20 3ED Telephone(0161) 879 3541

      As of 2021, run as a "more-than-profit" social enterprise, with all profits reinvested in the building and used for community initiatives, the 'Whippy' is a welcome addition to the Withington area. Downstairs is a small wood-panelled snug and a much larger room, formerly occupied by a snooker table, which is used as a performance space, drinking area and is where you will find the on-site pizzeria. A further room is upstairs. A variety of events, workshops and exhibitions (such as cinema, art classes, markets, comedy, quizzes, and more...) are held here with the aim of becoming a focal point for the whole local community. Food available to take away or eat in. Apart from the cask beer(s), there are four guest kegs and a variety of cans from local craft breweries. There was a small experimental brewing kit upstairs which was used by Burton Road Brewery to produce experimental beers on an adhoc basis but these very rarely sold. This plant has now been removed., Burton Road's mainstream beers are 'cuckoo brewed' at Mobberley Brewhouse.

  • Woodford
    • Aviator 6 Lancastrian Way Woodford SK7 1SA Telephone(0161) 388 2567

      New-build house opened within a new housing development on the site of the former Woodford Aerodrome, Avro works. The aeronautical connexion is echoed in both the pub's name, and in a wonderful collection of photographs of bygone days at the works. This collection is on display in the stairwell that leads to the toilets on the first floor. Elsewhere, you can see that owners, JW Lees have spent their money wisely on a high quality building with similarly excellent fittings and decor throughout. Two entrances, one from the street, the other to the side by the garden and car parking area lead you straight to the large L-shaped bar. Around the bar are the various seating and dining areas, which although superficially appear open-plan, are actually cleverly broken up by the use of screens and other design novelties. Looking from the street door, to the far right is a wood-panelled room with comfortable armchairs and such, all of this is overseen by a portrait of the brewery founder, JW Lees himself. The areas then sweep round the bar clockwise with a variety of styles of both rooms and furniture. Ultimately this ends with a dining area at the back next to the kitchen. A large outside area is put to good use with plenty of furniture to cater for those sunnier days. Against a garden wall are four covered booths which will doubtless prove popular. The pub opens for breakfast service and will unquestionably be a success to the area. NB anyone wearing 'work clothes' (not defined) will not be served, either inside or outside.

    • Davenport Arms 550 Chester Road Woodford SK7 1PS Telephone(0161) 439 2435

      Located opposite the local church this was the only pub in the village, and an excellent one at that! The Davenport Arms was acquired by Robinson’s in the 1920s, and since then the licence has been held by four successive generations of the Hallworth family, a record of continuity which is unique in the Stockport area. Sited next to a real farm, it is constructed of mellow red brick and has the aspect of an old-fashioned Cheshire farmhouse with a number of outbuildings. It is better known to many by its previous name the “Thief’s Neck”, see the inn sign for the villain’s unfortunate fate. Inside the pub has retained a multi-room layout with a simply furnished tap room to your left as you enter and a cosy snug to the right with a collection of plates and water jugs on a high shelf round the room. Located behind the front entrance is the bar where the vertical drinkers are to be found. There is a small lounge area to the right; a wooden aircraft propeller suspended from the archway leading to it is a reminder of Woodford’s long association with aircraft manufacturing. The former BAE Systems factory down the road was where the Nimrod patrol aircraft was made, but in the past when it was Avro, it produced the famous Lancaster and Vulcan bombers. Each of the three rooms has a welcoming real fire in winter. At the front of the pub in the spacious forecourt there is planty of bench seating where you can admire the floral displays in season. Note the model of the pub on the wall to the right and the small bench seats built into both sides of the front entrance. From the rear you have views of the adjacent fields, the local cricket pitch, and livestock grazing placidly. The toilets are located in an outbuilding across the yard from the lounge, accessed by a covered walkway. The pub is a former holder of CAMRA’s Greater Manchester Pub of the Year title and in 2021 celebrated thirty five consecutive years in CAMRA’s national Good Beer Guide. The pub has a large car park, but if you want to leave the car at home, the pub is served by a regular bus service. Don’t worry if you miss the stop for the pub, as all buses turn round just after it. A truly classic pub and one definitely not to be missed.

  • Wythenshawe
    • Airport Ringway Road Wythenshawe M22 5WH Telephone(0161) 498 8536

      This is a unique pub and is both blessed and cursed by its location. Car parking is very limited and very expensive. The pub's management strongly advise their patrons to arrive by bus, tram or train if at all possible. This large pub at the end of Manchester Airport's main runway re-opened in late January 2015 after a massive four month refurbishment which transformed the place into a pub where the emphasis is on food. The scale of this refurbishment was something that had never been seen before in the Robinsons estate and marked a return for the brewery to managed houses. The interior was completely altered and now has a large single room with a long bar on the left side (as you enter), with five handpumps, albeit not necessarily selling five different beers. A choice of bottled beers is also available and includes Old Tom. Decor features an aeronautical theme mixed with British colonial retro style; there are 'Spitfire arm chairs' and booth seating in circular jet engine style, vintage propeller fittings, flying ducks dressed in mini pilot outfits and blueprints of old aeroplanes. The interior furnishings include vintage designer wallpapers and fabrics as well as more modern features such as spotlights and glazed screens to divide up the large space. However whilst the emphasis is on food, there are no problems in just having a drink here and the pub is family friendly. The outside back patio terrace feature tables and a variety of chairs whilst the extensive garden features a number of tables and bench seating as well as a children's slide and climbing frame. And with aircraft passing extremely close by at the end of the runway, this will continue to be a very popular spot for people of all ages to watch the world go by - literally! However, please be aware that CAR PARKING CHARGES APPLY here - charges are £2 for one hour, £3.70 for two hours, and go rapidly upwards to £10.70 for a maximum stay of six hours (correct as of May 2024). Even blue badge holders are required to pay. NO REFUND is given even if you make a purchase at the bar. The car park is managed by Smart Parking Ltd. You must pay on arrival, using the machines at the main entrance (cash, credit cards and contactless debit cards accepted), or the RingGo app. NB the car parking often gets completely full on summer evenings, and at weekends. Entrance is managed on a one in, one out basis but honestly, get here by bike, bus, tram, train or Shanks' pony if you possibly can, it's much less stress.

  • Yealand Conyers
    • New Inn 40 Yealand Road Yealand Conyers LA5 9SJ Telephone(01524) 805037

      Comprehensively remodelled in 2016. Four rooms and a hallway became two rooms in contemporary style, featuring grey paint and uncarpeted floors. A few old features remain. The pub's pride and joy is a 17th-century fireplace with ornamental plasterwork on the breast in the bar-room - the more recent fireplace with a large range is worth a look too. A core of locals regularly frequent the bar but there are a fair few customers stopping off from rambles around the beautiful countryside. Meals may return at some point.
