Black and white former coaching inn. Formerly a bank, temporary town hall and coaching inn, this pub has been opened out into four distinct areas together with a beer garden and meeting room. A lively entertainment programme is always on offer including Open Mike Acoustic on Thursday, Indie Bands on a Friday, rock bands on Saturday evenings, and a Wednesday quiz night (free buffet). A plaque on the wall describes how George Massey manufactured gas for the first time in Altrincham in 1844 to illuminate the pub.
