The Samuel Oldknow in Stockport

I went into the Oldknow with a friend before watching Dune at a nearby cinema. The place was quite full, which is easy considering the venue is not overly massive. This is the first time I have drank in Marple for over twenty years. Walking into this bar, it was similar to how I remember pubs all those years ago. It was mainly male orientated, though it was a beer bar with craft ales, so you would expect that. Even though I felt slightly intimidated by all the blokey, blokes having a good time, they all seemed quite friendly. I don't visit many ' straight' bars now, but this generally felt ok. I wouldn't have liked to do a pirouette to try that out but it seemed 'gay friendly '. And I do put that in my pub reviews now, especially as one recently visited establishment was most definitely not. I would go again anyway and have a few more beers there and if I do, then I will re-review.

Great small real ale pub. Always a good selection of beers, cider too. Lots of great beers in bottles to take home. Visit you won't be disappointed. A "dog bar" is there and once your dog has sampled you won't be able to pass without getting dragged in.🐕

Great little cosy pub with friendly staff, decent prices and a huge selection of beers.

Classic Micro Pub with a pretty good selection on Wheat Biers and Chadkirk Ales.

Great gluten free CHOICE of beers... Great cider

Nice pub for locals and visitors who like a change from the usual chain pubs.

Fabulous cheeky little boozer - cosy, open fire snug (downstairs) always welcoming and a range of boozy drink delights not to found anywhere else in the area ... and at the right price point too. 10/10

Fantastic little pub! One of a kind and well worth a visit.

A genuinely special place, a micropub so small but overflowing with character and charm, with great options for drinks and service is top notch.

Great micro pub with good quality real ales available. If it looks full try the cellar with it's real fire

Probably Marple's best boozer. Nice ambience, pints fairly cheap, decent selection, friendly landlord and staff.

A quiet Tuesday night. Nice and relaxed with enough charm.

Very friendly staff and people with a good selection of real ales well worth a visit

Great atmosphere great beer and great owners, everything you would want from a pub. One of the best places I’ve ever been for a couple of pints

I've been in twice as it isn't very local to me but it is currently one of my favourite Pubs.

Just a quick review as it is very clear this pub is already well established & appreciated for the quality of its beers! The cask tried were excellent, staff were lovely & friendly & all I can say is ensure you find on any visit to Marple!( well served by buses from Stockport & only a short distance from the train station with the bonus it's downhill after a beer!)

It has taken us a while, but it's definitely worth a smile. The water feature is possibly a mistake but the local beers were great. A lovely little jungle made this a super bundle We will definitely go again and recommend you do the same.

Fabulous place so friendly and relaxing

Great beer, friendly staff and people. Great place for a chat with regulars.

Always drop in when we are in Marple. A great range of beers, nice people and the downstairs is cosy especially in winyer

The nicest relaxing bar in marple without a doubt 👌

Great little pub with a great atmosphere and an interesting selection of beers.

Came across this little gem of a pub after a walk into Marple, and what a discovery. If the Prancing Pony in Huckleberry seemed like your kind of place then you'll likely enjoy this. Good selection of beers on tap and a decent fridge.

An absolute gem....not to be missed if you're within 5 miles

I should go more often. Superbly kept beers.

Amazing little pub, dog friendly, very welcoming, warm and cozy, decent selection of German beers too

Characterful, welcoming friendly micro pub. Excellent selection of local ales, international bottled beers and whisky too. Very reasonably priced top notch a must visit. 👌

It's a "micro pub" with 2 floors, the lower has a fireplace. Dogs allowed, all that I've met there very well behaved. The clientele seems to be a tiny community in itself, and they as well as the staff are welcoming and kind. The ales here are top notch.

Great little micro pub. Good atmosphere, good range of beers at reasonable prices.

Great beer, absolute gem of a pub.

Regularly changing selection of solid ales, reasonably priced. Strong range of whiskies, ciders too. Proper jovial pub atmosphere. Cracking little covered beer garden/smoking area out the back, with a heater. Loads of board games downstairs. Go!

Tradition Award winning drinkers ale house. Great selection of changing ales in this super dog friendly pub, dont miss visiting you wont be disappointed

Lovely little real ale pub. Friendly locals, a wide range of good beers, a fireplace downstairs.

Very cosy little pub lots of interesting things to look out.. garden out the back is a little gem sheltered and tranqil

Cosy little boozer with an excellent selection of ales and ciders. Does various nights in the week (e.g. bottle night) with special promos, which is a nice touch.

Girlie day out and we popped in here for hot blobs ... lovely little place, with such great staff 😍

Excellent beer and good cosy atmosphere

Cracking little micro pub, conditioning of beers was great ,fair price , friendly good choice ,what more could anyone ask for

Had drinks in here last night - friendly little quaint place on different levels - good range of real ale and continental beers - well worth a visit!

Now going to be are new local, the pub is amazing, lovely people, the staff the most helpful and attentive, what a way to finish the night off.

A great and ever-changing choice of beers. A cozy welcoming atmosphere. Only minus point is that the occasional performers do not really need amplifiers for a pub of that size. Too loud !!! Some of us go in to talk with friends.

Up from the south visiting friends. They recommended The Samuel Oldknow as they know we like ale. We weren't disappointed, several different choices, well kept and served with a smile. Lots of ciders and other bottled beers too. It's really small but the clientele are friendly and don't mind you sharing their table. There is seating downstairs too but we enjoyed the atmosphere in the main bar. If we didn't live 250 miles away it would definitely become our local!

A little gem with a warm welcome and a fine selection of local real ales. There is also a selection of draught ciders and an extensive array of Belgian bottled beers.

Excellent micro brewry. Very good pricing and choice of beers etc. Small but friendly, great atmosphere.

This little pub has a good selection of cask ales. Dogs are allowed and there is a beer garden Great place to call in for a pint

What an authentic little find. It feels like this micro pub has been there forever, you’d never know it used to be a florist not so long ago! It’s small but there is also seating downstairs with a welcoming log burner & a little beer garden/yard. Cosy & friendly with lots of board games to play whilst you sip away. Fab addition. Only complaint would be the toilets were a bit grim.

A fantastic little pub and really friendly staff. Real ale at its best and lots of choice whether you’re a lager drinker, beer or cider. Priced sensibly too! Well done Samuel Oldknow

Called in here last sunday for the first time, fast friendly service with a good selection of real ales all kept in tip top condition, will definitely be calling in here again.

A constantly changing selection of craft ales and ciders, many from local brewers. I'm particularly fond of Thr Rock Mill brewery "Cotton Spinner" ale which is aged in wood. The place is always lively and very friendly. Dogs are welcome too.

We last visited this establishment on the afternoon of the Marple carnival which was 16th June at 1pm. 3 old mates had a lovely afternoon in a very welcoming and friendly environment. Fantastic beer, what more can you ask for? We all stumbled out having had 4 or 5 pints, happy laughing and in fine fettle. It doesn't get better than this!.

Terrific micro pub with helpful service. There is a good choice of beer and beer styles. All the beer I tried was in excellent condition. Nice atmosphere and pleasant interior.

A small pub off Marple's main shopping street. Old floorboards, nice tables to sit at and a good atmosphere. Northern prices are a pleasant relief for someone from the south-east.

Been to the Samual Oldknow a few times this Place has cracking beers for sale .For the purveyor of fine Ales this is the place to be .Small it may be but thats the beaty of this place is a drinking den

Best beer in town , very good price excellent bar staff brilliant atmosphere . Always a different selection or lagers and ciders . P.S have a pork pie with your pint !

Really great pub. Looks like its always been there but was actually a Florist Shop. Small outside area downstairs. Great bar fab beer and friendly staff and customers. You must give this place a go. We will be back soon.

This is definitely the best place to drink in Marple. Really friendly met so many nice people in there and always a great atmosphere.

What an amazing place! It's unusually small with a great selection of beer and cider. Down stairs has another small lounge along with a 'beer garden'. This is a MUST in Marple.

Great micro pub with an ever changing selection of good beers and ciders. It looks really small from the outside but has a surprising amount of seating with a downstairs area with a lovely wood burner. A small outside yard at the rear offers more seating in the summer. The only food served is a pie or bat snacks.

Good Beer, Good Cider, Good Atmosphere, Great Night Out! Award winning micro pub offers large range of beers from near and far! Cosy, warm and friendly!

This is a very pleasant change from the gastro pub and major chains. There is a wide range of beers and lagers in quirky and friendly surroundings.

This small micro pub has a wide range of good beers and has a wonderful, strong cloudy cider,during the festive season they also had wonderful mulled wine on sale. Obviously a small enterprise there is surprisingly plenty of room for customer seating and downstairs ( rather steep) a stone flagged lounge with a log burning stove. Well recommended and worth a visit if you are a real ale fan.

This tiny pub is squeezed into an old florist right in the center of Marple. It has a warm atmosphere and serves good and well chosen beers, ales and wines. Best of all there is a fire downstairs in what was once the cellar and dogs are welcome! Friendly staff and proprietors.
