A family-friendly pub, close to Alton Towers and The Peak District. A must for real ale enthusiasts, with constantly changing guest beers. The food is reasonably priced; the meat comes from the farm across the road. A good sized car park, three separate rooms and a central bar with televisions in two showing sport. A beer festival is held at the end of May. Look out for the pub cat! What a lovely cat!
