Dog & Partridge, Bollington

A cosy stained glass windowed pub with central bar surrounded by a series of small rooms but still retaining the multi-room layout. A former Bells pub, this is very much a community pub. You wouldn't be surprised to learn that this pub has won 'Bollington In Bloom' several times when you see the large colourful hanging baskets which adorn the outside of the pub. Sandwich rolls available at lunchtime. Flat access is available to the pub for wheelchairs but the toilets don't have any special facilities.

Music is very much part of the Dog & Partridge with a function room upstairs which plays host to variety of events: live bands, folk club, jazz group, free band practise room and jamming sessions. Free WiFi access - see the code on the bar. Close to both the Macclesfield canal (drop off at the aqueduct down the steep steps or down Hurst Lane both near bridge 27) and Middlewood Way (drop off at the old railway viaduct).

The pub has darts and pool teams, part of the local leagues. Next to the old Bollington police station, now a house. Dogs and children are welcome. The outside smoking area is renowned for it's splendour. There is a 50 seater function room upstairs which most people are unaware even exists. The folk club meets there on 1st & 3rd Sundays of the Month see http://www.bollyfolk.com/.
