Arden Arms

A Grade II listed Victorian coaching inn on the edge of Stockport's Market Place, on CAMRA's National Inventory of historic pub interiors. The curved glazed bar and a tiny hidden snug (said to be one of only four of its kind in the UK) are the draw, along with four regular Robinsons cask ales and a changing one, usually including Old Tom in winter. It was Stockport CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2009 and is one of the most listed pubs in the Good Beer Guide.

Home-cooked meals most days, a courtyard garden, real fires and live music on Saturdays from spring to autumn. Step-free access and an accessible toilet. Dogs and families welcome. Open every day from noon.
