Reopened in October 2016 after a period of closure, this traditional stone built free house has had a total refurbishment to a very high standard and updating of the whole building inside and out. Smart open plan interior has three distinctively separate 'areas' which are heated from a centrally located log burner. Well stocked bar with three hand pumps servs the regular house beers of Bass, London Pride and always an offering from the nearby Beartown Brewery from Congleton. The slightly elevated position offers find views over the surrounding countryside and over the Cheshire plain. Newly installed seating area outside the front door and smoking area to the rear.

AWARDS: Staffordshire Moorlands Sub Branch Pub of the Season (Spring 2014 under previous owner).
