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.
Historic Interest
Built in 1864 by William Bamford Hesketh on the site of the original village inn the Horse & Jockey, this building was extensively modified in 1895. The Court Baron & Dinnering day was held here when tenants paid their dues and feasted. For a period in the 2000s until late 2020 it was part of the Almond Family Pubs portfolio; they ran five pubs in the Stockport area at the time. Reopened 3/10/2024 after major refurbishment. Closed 5/1/2023 supposedly awaiting a new tenant. Thoroughly boarded-up 1/4/2023.
