Welcome
This marvellous Grade 1 listed pub is believed to date from 1656 and was once the residence of the Lords of the Manor of Sandbach.
It is a building held in some affection by local townspeople, who formed a pressure group to save the decaying building when it lay unoccupied for some four years before we were steered towards it.
The building makes the most wonderful pub. There are gems of historic features and atmosphere in abundance with the wooden floors, beams and opens fires. We added a light filled garden room to the rear of the building which looks out upon a stone terrace, both of which make the most of sunnier days.
Menus
Our passion lies in finding quality fresh ingredients and preparing, cooking and presenting them in a modern but unpretentious way. Our menus have a spine of classic British dishes complemented by more exotic influences from other parts of the world. We upload them to our web site each day so that you may peruse them at your leisure.
