Wild Boar
Buxton Road, Wincle SK11 0QL
The pub was purchased from Robinsons by long standing tenants, Val Bailey and Alan Critchlow in December 2014. It is now a Free House. Beers from Wincle & Storm. More details to follow. This description AND opening hours, may be out of date-- The Boar is a typical, multi-roomed country pub, much involved in country sports (local clay pigeon and pheasant shooting societies meet here). It is also frequented by walkers and commands excellent views over the surrounding hills. The many-roomed and heavily beamed interior is adorned with brasses, dried flowers and pine settles, but the main feature is the large wild boar skin adjacent to the bar! This is because the pub is named after the legend that the last wild boar in England was killed in the nearby Macclesfield Forest during the eighteenth century. The main, bar room houses a warming open fire in a stone fireplace, with crossed swords and a wild boar bust above. There are also copper-topped tables, a large, pine farmhouse dresser and an old Robinson's dray photo (it must have been a tough job for those horses to deliver up here!). Board games and darts, dominoes and cards are all played. The friendly, Scottish landlady serves a varied range of dishes including wild boar steak and sausages and traditional "stovies". There is no music in the separate dining room. The well-equipped children's room has games, videos and cartoons. Wheelchairs are welcome, with good access to the pub and a handrail in the ladies toilet, but getting to the garden can be difficult. There is a real fire even in summer!
Ship Inn
Barlow Hill, Wincle SK11 0QE
A destination popular with walkers and diners alike. Set in stunning countryside and just inside the Peak District National Park near the meandering River Dane, Gritstone Trail and local trout fishery (note the menu!). The name comes from the Shackleton's Arctic expedition ship, the Nimrod, seen on the sign outside. The 16th century long, stone building has three small rooms; a flagged vault/family room (or for muddy booted ramblers!) and two lounges. The far room houses a red sandstone fireplace with an unusual smiling stone face, as well as beams. The Ship is a welcome example of a quiet pub, with no intrusive music; only the buzz of conversation. It has a varied menu with large portions available. The pub is located very close to the Wincle brewery but only their bottled beers are available here. Credit cards are accepted. Hours can vary and be weather dependant.
