01 May 2015 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening. Still closed, since just after my turn of the year 2014/2015 visit. Outside board still says freehold for sale but several local pubs had rumours that a local brewery has bought this fine house.

Evening. Small crowd in back bar turned out to be the Guv's family. Bad news here - current tenants leaving Saturday 3rd January for pastures new in Marple (Hatters Arms) and they know of no planned replacements. On the market for £175,000 plus VAT. A fantastic physical building must have a great pub future with right marketing.

Evening. Tried very hard to support local Cheshire breweries. Only customer in and good chance to talk to the Polish landlady about how easy or difficult it is to become multi-lingual. Lovely nooks and crannies pub - absolute gem.
