The Old Red Lion, Holmes Chapel

I have used this pub between 2 and 3 times a week for the last 2 months at lunchtimes. There is a crowd of us girls. The service and attention by the bar staff is second to none - they always acknowledge when any customer approaches the bar to be served (a very nice touch). The food is extremely good and my husband - who will only drink real ale - rates the quality and variety of ales on sale very highly. The Red Lion competes very well with other notable hostelries in the area (Swettenham Arms, The Black Swan at Lower Withington,The Crown at Goostry). The Nearby George and Dragon is dreadful by comparison.
