### Due to death of licensee, Ray Ford, on 23/6/2024 the pub is closed. The business is to be marketed for sale ### Two smart front rooms, tidily decorated. One with a feature fireplace, and photos of old Stockport, the other is more contemporary in feel with a raised stage area. A games room occupies the rear with pool table and even a leather sofa to recline in. An upstairs function room is available. Entertainment features open mic nights on Fridays, jazz on Sundays and Tuesdays, and the odd live band playing (Rockabilly on the last Saturday in the month) while the games room to the rear features darts (numerous teams are based here) and pool. Another successful conversion to cask ale as a result of a local CAMRA campaign. This former branch Pub of the Year in 2010 serves occasional guest ales (often sourced from local microbreweries rarely seen in other local pubs) alongside the permanent Holt's bitter. NB as of 13/6/2024 the pub accepts CASH ONLY.
