The Arden Arms, Stockport

A traditional pub with great food and well kept beer. Coal fires in the winter. Great beer garden for drinking, dining and private functions on sunny days. I understand it was runner up in CAMRA's UK pub of the year a few years back as well as winning the Manchester Food & Drink Festival pub of the year. I live 2-3 miles away but it has become my local! Great Quiz night on a Tuesday and relaxing muted Jazz on Monday nights. Weekends can be busy and there are often private functions, usually in the beer garden. Soup and sarnie combos are great value but it's all too easy to be tempted by the specials of the day..I know as I eat there at least once a week. Best to book a table at weekends, but you can enjoy restaurant food at pub prices served by friendly staff.
