We believe the best pubs aren’t created in boardrooms or by head offices – they’re built by the people who unlock the doors every morning and lock them each evening.

Being independently owned means we make our own decisions. We don’t answer to head offices or national buying lists – we answer to our guests and to ourselves.

We choose our wines because we love them. We keep our ales with the care they deserve. We work with trusted local suppliers who share our passion for quality, because we believe great pub food starts with great ingredients and the people behind them. We know many of our regulars by name, and we take just as much pleasure in welcoming someone visiting Manchester for the very first time.

It’s the traditional way of running a pub – and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
