Sited opposite the church in the centre of what was the original Cheshire village of Northenden. This ex Boddington house is an old-fashioned, some might say, proper pub. Two small yet traditionally decorated rooms flank the central bar. The room to the left, the public bar is smaller than the lounge on the right; a small outside drinking area is beyond this. Snacks such as pies, cheeses and sandwiches are the food offering. History: former Boddingtons house that had not sold any cask ale for some years. That all changed in early 2016 when an entrepreneurial couple took on the lease. Back came cask ale, and the place was given a smart and very thorough make-over. Sadly, the cask beer disappeared in early 2024 however.
