John Millington

This pub results from an extensive rebuilding and modernisation of what was previously Millington Hall. This has been a successful transformation of a most historic structure. The John Millington is now a busy, multi-area Hydes pub with a thriving food operation; however the food does not dominate. There has been effective use of walls and furniture which breaks this large building into a number of interesting sections. There is a discrete TV screen, usually with the sound very low, and the sole gaming machine remains silent. The John Millington enforces a strict over-21 policy both during the day and evenings. Children are excluded unless they are over the age of six and dining with adults in the specially designated areas. There is a very attractive covered and glazed outside seating area with a section designated for eating which is strictly non-smoking. In addition to Hydes beers there are usually some interesting guest beers available. Voted 'Best Managed Pub 2012' in the Great British Pub Awards. Occasional beer festivals are held. 50p off pints of cask ale on Mondays.
