A detached building situated between a main road and the River Goyt. The Midway reopened in June 2008 after refurbishment and since that time describes itself as “contemporary eating and drinking”, with the emphasis on eating (food daily till 9). The interior is divided into two areas: a restaurant and bar. The latter can appear cluttered with furniture to accommodate even more diners, yet it is so tastefully and stylishly done that you can forgive them that. For that special occasion, there is a downstairs area primarily set aside for dining. Always seems to be busy. The beer garden overlooks the river and associated industrial heritage.
