The Old Sessions House, Knutsford

On a recent sunny bank holiday Monday afternoon all the café seating across the front of the Old Sessions House was being used, in fact more people were out then in. Inside is a large L-shaped pub with a lino floored bar area to the left and dimly lit carpeted seating up the right which runs to a rear dining area that is a lot brighter due to some skylights. In the left front window was some unused DJ equipment, there was an advert on the wall for a DJ on the Saturday just gone. There was some low background music and the televisions were airing a muted daytime quiz show that nobody was watching. Low beams throughout suggest some age to the pub, but the décor gives the vibe of a high street chain pub and kitchen. Premium keg and Fosters were available and two of the three hand pumps were in operation drawing TT Landlord and Wainwright Gold. I found this place to be boring and there were too many young children running around, so I don’t plan on revisiting.

The Old Sessions House is a prominent building as you enter Knutsford from the west. It is a lively and large place with music playing and live football being shown on TVs. Service was efficient, with two different members of staff serving us. The 3 real ales on our visit were Timothy Taylor Landlord, St Austell Proper Job & Tatton Blonde. Not a bad start to our wander around Knutsford.
