This is a very large house, built most probably in the 1950s and is set in an area with little else in the way of pubs. The interior rambles around the bar (which is set back) with most of the accommodation devoted to a substantial food operation, including a carvery plus dedicated cake and ice-cream counters. If you are just seeking a drink then the area which is obviously not set out for dining is a dark panelled, comfortably furnished library-cum-study to the left of the main entrance. All in all, a huge improvement on what went before. This is very much along the lines of the Griffin at Heald Green.
