The Queens or 'Turner's Vaults' as it is sometimes referred to, is a much-prized Stockport hostelry dating back to at least the 1790's. It still maintains its three-room layout with the front narrow bar room including alcoves and a grandfather clock; the small snug tucked in the middle of the pub and at the back a quieter more comfortable room that might be used for meetings. The decor includes plenty of wooden panels and wood flooring, while around the walls are pictures of Victorian characters, old advertisements and mirrors. The snug has a stove 'wood burner' for those cold days and it helps keep things cosy when in use. This Samuel Smith pub does some lunchtime snacks but it is primarily a busy drinker's pub serving the cheapest pint in Stockport (excepting the odd Wetherspoon offer) To sum up, this is a pub where traditional service and ambience take centre stage.
