Named after the local businessman and mill owner who was responsible for much of the development of Marple and Mellor some 200 years ago. Opened in time for Easter 2016, this is a somewhat quirky two level bar in a converted shop. Six vintage style handpulls dispense regularly changing real ales, often from Brightside and Northern Monkey - usually one under 4.5%, one over 4.5%, and a dark beer. The pub also serves Biddenden real ciders in addition to several beers served through fonts. A range of bottled beers are available to take away or to drink on the premises. Nuts and crisps keep the hunger pangs. as well as locally made pies. Opening hours are subject to change.
