Wilfred Wood

As it is occupying former shop premises, it retains a somewhat shop-front facade that is both modern and functional. Internally, a deep space is made more intimate by its being broken up by the use of wooden screens, some booths and a few panelled areas. The bar occupies the right-hand front wall, it accommodates ten handpumps - Greene King Abbot Ale and Ruddles Best make the permanent line-up, while at one time a further three beers from Moorhouses, and two from Phoenix added some interesting depth to the range. Apart from that, the other fare is of the standard Wetherspoon offering. A smoking area exists at the rear, while for those requiring the toilets, they are upstairs in this particular design. The place is often bustling, as this is the Grove's cheapest outlet by some way. The effect this pub opening had upon the area's more vulnerable outlets is a moot point. History: Opened 10/9/2010 as new Wetherspoon pub honouring WWI Victoria Cross medal recipient, Wilfred Wood - a photo of the plaque at Stockport station citing his valour is included here.
