The Duke of York has seating in the front right and a bar counter mid-way up the right-hand wall. There is a pool table and dartboard in the right rear and more seating runs up the left-hand side of the pub. Out the back is a large patio garden with picnic tables.
Premium and craft keg were available, and being a Robinsons pub the three hand pumps were drawing Dizzy Blonde, Cumbria Way and their Unicorn Brewing’s AMO. This place was OK, although I didn’t really see anything that elevates it above the many other Robbie’s pubs in Stockport.

Despite the unpromising colour scheme (black bottom half, white top half), this was quite a nice hotel-type pub on the A6 when I visited in early December hoping for a drink of Old Tom. The central corridor opens out into a large lounge on the left, running the whole depth of the building, with a bar counter in a recess on the right, and - I had somehow missed - a smaller room on the right with a front window. The licensee was doing a complete line clean - at 1:30 Thursday afternoon? - so all his draught beers were off; however, he responded enthusiastically to my suggestion of bringing me a half of Old Tom from the cellar. It was in the correct glass, too! Not the best I've ever had, but it was what I had been looking for. I sat in the smaller front room after having had a look around the large lounge while he was in the cellar. The front room, perhaps not small enough to be called a snug, was comfortable but a little scruffy, with a fireplace with wood surround, copper hood and mantelpiece the focus of attention. I enjoyed my time here, with the exception of the background music, but then I often find myself typing something similar, especially when it is not just unnecessary but actually too loud.

A Robbies house that has had a recent refurbishment. The room to the left is painted a horrible grey colour and appears to have a dance floor area which is a bit tatty underfoot, but the bar area is nice enough. There's another area to the rear with a pool table. There's a small room to the right with nice copper fireplaces. It's very dog friendly as there is a water bowl set out for them. The toilets were very smelly and the beer wasn't a lot better with my Dizzy Blonde being just about OK. Loads of TV screens all around the pub. I really didn't take to this place at all. Apparently they have accommodation. but nothing could persuade me to stay here.
