A lovely welcome, super friendly and efficient staff. Good, old-fashioned pub grub; I had liver, bacon, and mustard mash, all of which was delicious, and washed it down with some excellent, hand pulled Robinson's ales. We will be back!

Lovely welcome in this pub, the landlady went out of her way to help two hikers, we can’t thank her enough. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Stopped in for an early dinner and a pint. The staff were brilliant and friendly. Had a great pint of Robinsons Unicorn and ordered the Gammon, egg and chips. It also came with great onion rings, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms. Huge meal that was totally delicious. Everything was just right.

Came here with my mum and her friends on a weekend away, they enjoyed it so much on their first visit on the Thursday, they cancelled our other reservation so they could return on the Sunday with me in tow! Wonderfully generous portion sizes, super tasty food, and such lovely staff. Hopefully we can return in future!

Amazing little pub close (ten minute walk) to the Macclesfield canal. We visited several times while we were in the area. Amazing food (with excellent gluten-free options and knowledge) and a really friendly team!
