October - Wobbly Stamp
Wobbly Stamp
130 Stockport Road, Cheadle SK8 2DP
The Stockport & South Manchester CAMRA winner for October is the Wobbly Stamp at 130 Stockport Road, Cheadle SK8 2DP and Darren Berry explains why this popular new micropub won the award.
After opening micropubs in Romiley (Jake's Ale House) and Gee Cross (Jake's - now sold), Darren Shaw spotted that Cheadle, despite its numerous pubs, seemed a possible site for another venture. Over a few beers with Dave Ramwell, the two became business partners and on 10 September 2020 (a little later than planned due the pandemic), the Wobbly Stamp opened its doors for the first time.
Located in an old Post Office, the interior is deceptively large and can seat over 40 customers. The décor is a mix of rough-planed timber, bare brick and plastered walls which are adorned with local artwork, breweriana and mirrors. An outside drinking area located at the side of the pub is accessible through a side door. Additional outside seating at the front of the pub has been added since it reopened in May.
Proving a popular addition to the beer scene in Cheadle, the Wobbly Stamp has four rotating guest cask beers with one handpump given over to a dark beer. The beers are sourced both from local breweries, such as Stockport Brewing, Poynton Brewery and Seven Bro7hers, and those further afield like Tiny Rebel, Heritage and Spinning Dog. There is a good selection of gin and wine, and a couple of German beers are also on tap. Boxed cider is available as well.
There is a small range of bottled and canned beers to take away, and four-pint pouches are also available if you feel the need to take your favourite draught beer home. There is live music on Sunday afternoons and a 20 pence discount for CAMRA members and Forces personnel.
Join us on Thursday 28 October from 8pm and help Darren and Dave celebrate their well-deserved award. Buses 11 and 11A will drop you close to the pub.
