This multi-roomed pub-restaurant opened in 1991, having been converted from a Georgian rectory (last used for ecclesiastical purposes between 1951 and 1965 when the Bishop of Stockport lived there). It still maintains a country house feel with plenty of dark wood and plush décor. Food is available for most of the day, with the conservatory functioning as a restaurant. Accommodation is available in the Premier Inn built in the extensive grounds at the back; to the front the large beer garden offers fine views over Stockport. Despite the emphasis on food and accommodation, the beer is always top notch, the pub having gained both Cask Marque accreditation and a Beautiful Beer Gold Award.
