| A tad surprised that a prominent pub like this hasn't had a posting for over 5 years ! It's a large Brewers Tudor roadhouse style pub at a busy road junction on the southern edge of town. Set slightly back from the road, there's a large car park and a large outside seating area at the front. The main bar interior is carpeted and comfortable and pillars divide it up into a number of different areas, but it's a rather unremarkable pub with a fairly standard pub interior and little, if anything of note. It's got that rather impersonal feel that large pubs often have when they're trying to cover all bases. Unusually for a pub of this nature, there's a separate public bar which contains a pool table and is decorated with some framed motor cycling photos.There's also a fine picture of another Robinsons pub - The Fletcher Arms - which I presume was the current landlord's previous pub. The Flowerpot is also a Robinsons pub, but, on my recent late evening visit, only the Unicorn - � 2.55p - was on. The presence of some local branch CAMRA magazines ( from a different branch incidentally than those I had seen in The Old Ship on the other side of town ) would indicate that it is CAMRA friendly, but it doesn't seem to have made any recent GBG's. This is quite a pleasant pub, but it's not worth going out of your way to visit. Finally, do note that, unusually, there are two pubs in Macclesfield with this name, both listed on BITE, so be careful you don't post your comment against the wrong one, as I almost did !

| This pub has a very special place in my heart- my first legal (and before that illegal!!) pints were consumed on its fine premises. It has tried to change it's image to a more family orientated pub over the last couple of years- the big screen has gone. Beer garden is the best in Macc- no question, and is very tempting to anyone driving or walking past on a hot day. 2.49 for a Stella is a bit steep, but other than that it is quality. precious - 24 May 2004 16:45 |
| A great pub with excellent facilities and staff.The only people who MIGHT have something bad to say are the one's who aren't old enough to get in! Rob - 30 Mar 2004 18:02 |
| The boss may know how to run a pub quite well, but he doesn't understand how to treat the staff. He embarrasses them in front of customers which doesnt help them to get any respect! James - 12 Jan 2004 19:48 |
