Steve C left this review about The Fountain

The Fountain is a long dimly lit L-shaped bar with open plan seating to the left with some booths along the front windows and a bar to the right that faces a beer shelf further along the front windows. Further right is more seating. This is a Bollington Brewery pub so their Eastern Night, Long hop, White Nancy, Bollington Best and Oatmeal Stout were all available from hand pumps on the back bar. There was a sixth pump but my eyesight isn’t what is was so I couldn’t read the small text on the clip. I counted ten fonts, also on the back bar, that were drawing a mix of premium and craft keg. My visit was on a recent Monday evening so it was quiet apart from some low background music. The service was polite, but this felt more like a weekend bar so not really my cup of tea.

A huge barn of a place owned by Bollington brewery. Massive girly friendly windows and minimal heating meant that it was firkin freezing on Sunday evening. 4 of the 5 handpumps in action and my pint was in good nick and Ms CAMRA thought her red wine was good. Efficient and friendly staff were a bonus. When we passed by later having had something to eat at the nearby Ghurka restaurant they already had chairs on most of the tables. It was about 21:30, so not a good look. I know that it's cold in Winter and I'm guessing that it will be steaming in Summer. Not very impressed.

Next door to RedWillow this modern bar is owned by Bollington Brewing and features 5 of their cask ales together with a real cider.Surrounded by large plate glass windows it occupies a corner site and opened in early October 2021.
There are ranks of traditional tables and chairs and was busy but that may have been the shock of the new.
If you like Bollington beer this may suit,I prefer RedWillow next door.
