Owned by Brunning & Price who are noted for their outstanding redevelopments and the quality of their food and drink. Sutton Hall is a site with a long history dating from the Bronze Age, and the 16thC manor house has been beautifully restored prior to its re-opening in 2008.

A free house, and they certainly know how to choose their beers. Always an extensive selection of cask ales, c.8-10, and a very good wine cellar as well.

Excellent food served from midday to late every day, great menu, served in any of a number of rooms each with its own character. My only critiscism is that, to reduce cost they admit, they expect diners to order at the bar. However, in all other respects the service is first class. Probably the best eatery along the Macclesfield Canal.

The driveway joins Bullock's Lane right beside bridge 44. It's just a couple of hundred metres up the drive.
