Excellent pub. Very friendly service. The draft beer was sopt on. Great beer garden, some of which is under cover to provide protection from the weather!

Lovely staff, lovely and well maintained draft beers, with a wide variety to choose from. The land lady is really welcoming and always has a smile on her face along with the girls behind the bar. Friendly faces are always spotted when entering!! TVs are always playing with sports or tv shows great for people who are solo drinking, or eating one of the amazing baps from behind the bar, with a 5 star hygiene rating aswell which is a plus. Get yourself over there you won’t regret it 👍🏽

A great traditional pub, with a good range of cask and draught beers, friendly staff and friendly ⁴qcustomers. Entertainment is often put on in the pub and sometimes out in the large beer garden. Well worth the short walk from the town centre.

This place goes from strength to strength, a real community hub and without doubt the best pub in the town. Cheapest beer in the town, sports on tap on the tvs and a huge beautiful beer garden which is a hidden gem. Long may it continue.

A 'Tardis' indeed. From the cosy front rooms (Lounge and Tap) the facilities extend outside to a large beer garden and covered patio area. A 'must visit' for a trip to remember and return to. Lovely landlady, Emma, who has lived in the town for ages and knows exactly what both the locals and welcome visitors are looking for. This place has had it's ups and downs over the years but while Emma stays the only way is UP!

Little Pub with packed with surprises! Just out of Knutsford Town centre (5 minute walk) this Hidden Gem has something for everyone. On a hot summer evening with the sun setting traditional pub benches sit on the old cobbles for anyone to relax and sample their tipple of choice. Moving inside chose between the lounge bar to the right or the tap room on the left both exceling with friendly vibe offering great beers (cask and keg), a selection of great wines and an extensive selection of both spirits and soft drinks. For anyone wishing more, walk through to the back where a large beer garden awaits, complete with covered seated decking area (heated) to be complimented with an enclosed lawned garden and planted out borders together with play area for future drinkers. Regular evening entertainment includes: Poker (Monday), Quiz nights (Thursdays, monthly) and music evenings (check web for details) plus various outside weekend events throughout the summer. A known secret for locals and a MUST for visitors wanting a warm welcome. After years of just drifting (and COVID!) with Emma in situ it seems the only way is up.

Great local pub, the beer is plentiful from cask to keg to bottles, good selection of wines and spirits. For those who want to watch sport. You’re in the right place with Sky and TNT showing all major events.. It’s cosy, warm and the staff are very attentive.. Well worth a trip, oh, did I tell you about the beer garden? It’s huge! 😁

Love this place, it's now my go to pub. Emma has done an amazing job in the past year, she has brought this little gem to life. Quizz night was amazing. The quiz master was hilarious and took the heckling and threw it back with great gusto. Quizz was great and the pub was packed. Entry was by a bag of warm clothes for the homeless, such a great idea. Box of celebrations on the bar at the end of the night was just what we needed after laughing so much. Can't wait for the next one on NYE. Next visit is on the 9th Dec for her anniversary party. No food yet but bbq's in the summer 🌞⛱️ Well done Emma, keep on going. Looking forward to many garden parties next summer 😁

I’ve been here a number of times now and each time has been lovely. I discovered the pub in summer as was told about its large private beer garden which is secure for both dogs and children trying to escape! Emma the land lady is so welcoming, and has a great team. The pub quiz on a Thursday is well worth a look and 1/2 time snacks are put on. I think I’ve found my new local…..

I live in Sydney, Australia but lived most of my teenage years in and around Knutsford. The Builders was a favourite haunt of mine and on a recent sad trip to the UK to say goodbye to mum and dad who lived nearby for 45 years I called in and enjoyed a couple of pints. I was overjoyed that it still had the wonderful ambience I remembered from so long ago. My compliments to the current landlord (or lady) for maintaining such a gem of a hostelry. Cheers Terry Colley

The Marstons Pedigree bitter is the best in the area and there's always a guest beer for those who want to taste something different.

My favourite pub in Macclesfield (and Mac has a few crackers). This one has friendly enthusiastic staff, always has 3 cask ales on the go... All in perfect temperature and condition, always a couple of local beers and one from further away. Add to this the, made on the premises dinner plate sized pork pies, served by the slice with piccalilli. Oh and somewhere that makes me look forward to cold winter nights... open fires, comfy, cosy, warm rooms, a perfect escape from the weather when you've done your chores in town. Thank you Sue Guildford for recently added photos. You can see it's a traditional place, no sports TV required thank you.
