This is a large building, and so is a sizeable commitment. The place is run by Cheshire Pub Co which already operates the Ship in Styal and others in Cheshire. Although the place is food-led, there are tables at the fore for drinkers as well as a seating area out front. The bar, complete with a number of handpulls can be found here. Moving into the premises and at a higher level, more tables can be found and at the very rear there is an outside drinking and all-weather terrace which is home to a five-metre bar (no cask beer at this one). This area is sheltered from the elements by a retractable roof and heated utilising an innovative underfloor system.
