Prince of Wales

Known locally as the "Mop" (it used to have a problem with flooding), this delightful pub overlooks the village green. Originally two cottages which were knocked together many years ago (there’s a vintage photograph inside which shows the old pub and the cottage next door) and this has led to the distinct three area layout. There’s a vault to the left as you enter, a lobby-lounge area in front of the bar and to the far right a well appointed and cosy lounge. The low, beamed ceilings, bench seating and subdued lighting all add to the "country pub" feel. There was a refurbishment and redecoration about 10 years ago and more recently fixed seating has been reinstated in the lounge which adds to the traditional pub atmosphere and also makes better use of the space. At the front is a spacious and very attractive beer garden which overlooks the green. It’s very much a community pub. There’s no food as such (although hot or cold pies are available at all times) but there‘s plenty going on. There’s live sport courtesy of Sky and BT, a darts team plays in the Wythenshawe league and Thursday night is poker night. Saturday nights are big quiz nights with a general quiz, with DJ, at 8.30 when you can win a gallon of beer, and this is followed by a music quiz at 10/30 where a bottle of wine can be won. There’s also "Play Your Cards Right" and "Open the Box". Aging rocker Rod Stewart stunned regulars a few years ago when he popped in for a pint during a break from his busy concert schedule.
