  • Outstanding pub conversion

Dating back to 1862 this onetime [Cholmondeley County Primary] School closed in 1986 and was converted to a pub in 1988. It was the first public house on the Cholmondeley Estate for over a century. The conversion and subsequent changes [2011] have not altered the basic cruciform layout. Beers are mainly sourced from within 35 miles radius of pub, in Cheshire and Shropshire. Weetwood brew the two "House beers". Excellent range of gins. Closing times may be slightly reduced between November and March.

Conversion

Built in 1862 as an elementary school for 200 children, the school closed in 1986 and was converted to a pub, becoming the first public house on the Cholmondeley Estate for over a century. The conversion is an interesting and pleasing development of an unusual building, by not altering the cruciform layout. Wooden braces hold up the high-ceilinged interior which has three drinking areas with bare floorboards split by wide brick arches; there is also a tiny snug. Most walls are of exposed brick and there are log fires to enhance the quirky design. The bar back has a bottom section formed from a piece of furniture with sets of drawers and on top is what looks like a Victorian mirrored bar back that nearly reaches the high ceiling. There is a heavily carved bar counter. The pub serves real ales and real ciders, provides meals and has accommodation in the Headmaster's House opposite.
