This is a superb pub and serves good quality real ales and plenty of them too. Lovely food at reasonable prices make it a good place to spend a bit of time. Multi roomed and situated under the arches of the railway.Wow what a difference the new team have made to this wonderful pub. It is now clean and welcoming. The food (weekday lunch only)is fantastic. Live bands outside at weekends and burgers off the BBQ only £1.50 to help soak up the amazing 16 beers! FantasticArguably the best pub in Stockport, which sadly isn't difficult as the choice is not vast.
Great friendly atmosphere, always busy, multiple rooms, fantastic choice of ales and a great location.

Classic pub with a wonderful interior. Serving most of the Robinsons range in tip-top condition.

The food looked great too....I think I'll eat there next time!Very good pub with interesting interior. Very busy on a Saturday afternoon. Good food including many veggie options. Three Robinsons pumps - Hatters, Unicorn & Tom Cat. Had excellent pint of Hatters.
Worth tracking down.Can't really add any more than the last review other than to reiterate it really is a classic pub.

It's a lovely old building on a busy road. It is pleasant enough without being remarkable, but worth a visit. The beer was good enough and it was clean and welcoming.Nice looking pub, staff and management not very freindly, ok beer, overall fair but room for improvement.Nice pub good beer,good food,friendly ,nice building,probly one of best pubs around.

Decent boozer full of character, typical Sam Smiths pub with very well priced ale, visited several times and always worth a pint, food is decent too.Have you seen the really FAT guy who stands near the fruit machine? He will sell you anything! He carries loads of pills and ciggies. LOL OK, yes it's cheap. Good for students, but watch what you drink. Keep to bottles, because the beer is awful, tastes really stale. Be careful with lots of dirty old men looking at you all night, some dodgy characters in there!!, :)

No what we expected.Rather pricey and like previous comments, quite a few beers out of stock. We felt obliged to stay once the fuss had been made to find us a table and we sampled the complimentary hoola hoops while choosing.
Not somewhere I'd go very often and not for the whole night,as much as I couldn't afford it as anything else.
Was half expecting Vincent Price to pop outDisappointing, they advertise that they sell 250 beers. However, i have been in there several times now, and it is sad to report that their claim seems to be an advertising gimmick just to entice you downstairs. The reality and choice available are somewhat different. Quite nice new bar, owned by Wayne who used to run Le Trappiste, he still like to sample the beers though, he was in there drunk again the other week. We left as it's slightly embarrassing when he tries to talk to you in that silly accent that he adopts.

A good selection of beers though if you like sitting in a dungeon.

ok pub, with half decent staff, although i think the doorman on friday and saturday is a bit of a letch. He can't keep his eyes off my fiancee and its really beginning to piss me off to some tuneIt's a good place to go for all the wrong reasons. Barmaid didn't understand English and the locals were as odd a bunch as you are likely to see anywhere, but they are harmless and entertaining.terrible paint job most of its on the floor the landlords arrogant with no sense of humour.

the place (now called caesers) is execellent worth goin into for a top night out at the weekend now havin curtains up at the windows it dosent feel so much like a gold fish bowl very freindly staff and the prices of drinks are the cheapest in alty dancers in on a friday night very tasteful will be comin back to watch them again biggin it up to the staff you do a great job.

funny how this was posted at the same time as previous comments the the sort of night out if ur not into drugs fightin doorman frogmarchin people of the premises for nothin, the bar staff could all do with a face lift to crack a smile and they could do with out rippin the public of the police are always out side when it kicks out because it always kicks of not my sort of night out catch my drift.the jackyl & hyde of bars,

go in during the day and its nice and pleasent with good friendly bar staff and the place smells nice

go in after 8pm and the place gets packed out with drunk kids and to make matters worse the bar staff suddenly develop bad a attitude

I've never actually been in here. Probably because it always stinks of stale beer and shit when I walk past.if you want cheap beer then this is the place ,rough n ready dont take the wife,more idiots in here as already pointed out than your average boozer ,if you want a fag then you go in a small backyard which is enclosed and at times stinks of sewers ,oh do they get away with this ?what a pisser ,nothing to worry about in the likkle irish fella. the biggest knob in there is a mr wright who thinks he owns the pub,what can we say ? mr heath jnr ko mr wright seeing stars ,brill !!!!!!!

Visited Saturday 3rd May and the place was a disgrace. Uneaten plates of food and dirty glasses left on tables. These were missed/ignored on at least two attempts by the bar staff to tidy up. Got that old invisible feeling at the feeling at the bar. Stood there for a good 10 minutes trying to get served. This was early evening, so it was not even busy. The bar staff not making eye contact no matter how hard you try, while talking endlessly to regulars. This should, and with a little effort could, be the best pub for miles. To top it all when the man next to me finally got served his 8/10th of pint of Landlord he asked for it to be topped up and they did so, with Millstone Pig & Whistle. He won't have the cheek to ask again!
Bone idle bar staff with a bad attitude who spend more time in the car park smoking than behind the bar. You can see exactly where they smoke, it is littered with fag ends.Only ever managed to get here in the daytime, so can't substantiate the concerns about how dirty things get in the evenings. A fine old pub, with lots of character and regulars drawn from all walks of life. This gives the place an air of accepting all-comers, which is rare in such places. The beer is undeniably excellent, with lots of brews from smaller local breweries which makes every visit something of an education. The food is also good and very keenly priced, and the staff are always ready with a smile and a joke - even at their busiest, and this place can get very busy indeed when customers arrive by the trainload!while since bean here. But sadly still the same: Fab ale, but very dirty pub, no reason for it because there's enough staff to clean the dripping beer from the tops,(no ash trays to empty.....well they never did empty them here anyway!)
They are doing some re-works around the station area at present making access less easy but not really a problem, I think they are going to re-name it 'The Stalybridge Station Scruffy Bar'... so I've heard, officially this time but we'll have to see.

great smoking facilities,ashtrays everywhere after hours,you cant beat having a smoke at the bar just like the good old days.Fantastic ales and great pub. Friendly staff and owners. All other pubs in Sandbach must be losing money now. Well worth visiting, I'll be back for more.ON REFLECTION THIS PUB HAS HAD ITS HEY DAY,AND WAS A LOT BETTER WHEN IT WAS SHUT !

Very unique pub. Tiny bar stocking what seems like hundreds of beers. Diverse and friendly crowd of beer-lovers. Definitely one of the best real pubs..Well when I was there (April 08 on a Tuesday night) it was full of CAMRA types and bikers who were even older than me. I am talking ancient. But nice. And the beer is simply sensational, and there is no music, no fruit machine and no TV.
Best pub I know of currently in England and I know a few.Visited this pub recently, and I cannot understand the comment about a "frosty reception". I haven't seen under forty for a few years now, and as I have only ever been there once I am not what you could call a regular, but I was met with a smile and quick word, my questions about what was on and what the beer was like were met with genuine answers, even though they had said this a couple of thousand times before. All in all, a lovely little pub, great beer selection (something for everyone) and a walm welcome. Sorry, but that ticks all my boxes.

From the outside you may think twice about going into this pub. It looks like it wouldn't be out of place in a war zone, a tiny sign the only indication that this isn't a run down house. But once inside, what a surprise. A friendly little place with a large selection of real ales. I think there were 9 cask ales on tap and also a large selection of bottled beer. The prices are a little higher than other pubs in Crewe, but it's definitely worth it.Excellent real ale pub - was in the Friday before last and there was a decent selection on the handpumps. Only had time for one on this occasion - will probably stay for a few more next time!At first sight The Borough didn’t look up to much from the outside, and the people gathered around the door smoking even gave the place a vaguely menacing air (I wonder if the Government thought of that side-effect of the smoking ban?). However, once inside I couldn’t have wished for a more welcoming pub, full of life and with a pleasant relaxed atmosphere. Some serious dominoes was being played (don’t they love their dominoes in Crewe!).

This pub has a large beer range, both of cask ales and foreign beers of the draught and bottled varieties. This is another of the “I wish it was my local” category as far as I am concerned.

all the regulars are very sorry to see gaz and colleen leave.after a fantastic 2 years at the helm we all wish both of them well and hope they have a great future doing whatever they choose,personally speaking it has been a pleasure to meet such a great couple and would like to thank gaz for all the help with all of the fundraisers for the footy and pool teams,good luck mate and hope to see you at the right side of the bar in the near future.the new owners/manager hs got a lot to live up to so good luck to them. Live music seems to be a winner in this area,enjoyed saturday night.Having seen the entertainment it reminded me of that odd couple who won new faces in 1976,it was really funny.Trouble is they were singers and not comedians,and the decor was like that pub on life on mars DURING THE WAR STORIES ARE TOLD AT THE BACK BAR EVERY TIME COPPER KNOB IS IN

I've not been in for a while- the pub has changed hands!! (probably a while ago). Bitter tastes a lot better than before (it used to have an aftertaste...). New menus & good service. Lots of nice nooks and crannies to sit in.A great local. The staff were brilliant, they ran the place like a well oiled machine. Locals friendly. Beer good. Food adequate - it's certainly no gastro pub, but does grub to an old school standard - nice puddings with custardFab pub, lovely friendly LOCALS!!! Always aim to please.. Fantastic bar Staff very accomadating..Take umbridge with the comment about the chef!! Great guy who serves excellent food and washes his hair every day!!! Would recommend giving locals a nudge at the bar if you can't get served they won't mind...Love the atmosphere the drink and the food!! Bar persons at weekend are an extra delight full of of fun and high Jinx. If you've not already been, please go you will recieve a very friendly reception whatever age you are!!!

hairy women frequent this place late evening usually in with porter,avoid at all costs get a shave woman Went in for me tea the other day and was surprised how bad the food was in this place.There were fingerprints in the mash and turds in the gravy,wont be eating there again.
