Robin Hood Inn, Macclesfield

Cosy little stone pub in village on edge of Peak District formed of a series of small interconnecting rooms giving a slightly confused if homely feel. Landlord is enthusiastic about his beer and it shows, with a range of local and more far-flung beers.

A stone-built multi-roomed roadside pub - the only one left in the village. It promises well, and the interior lives up to that promise, with plenty of exposed stone, bare floorboards and quality furniture. The bar features six hand pumps, with beers from Moorhouses, Red Willow, Jennings and Black Sheep at the time of my visit. There's a regular quiz and other events like an open mic night and a bring-your-own vinyl evening were being advertised at the time of my visit, which was long enough ago for you to have missed them both by the time you read this. Definitely worth a visit, nevertheless.
