Dog & Partridge, Great Moor in Stockport

Ah, the Dog & Partridge – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Great Moor, you know? From what I've gathered, the staff are generally brilliant, always up for a chat and making sure you're sorted with recommendations or a quick top-up. The food's a real highlight; think hearty, home-cooked meals with loads of choices that hit the spot every time, and it's spot on for families with that beer garden and play area keeping the kids entertained while you relax. They've got a solid selection of drinks too, and the live music on weekends adds a nice buzz without overwhelming the place. On the flip side, it's not the cheapest option out there – those prices can sneak up on you, so it's worth budgeting ahead. Plus, a couple of folks mentioned the odd grumpy face behind the bar or the beer garden needing a bit of love to make it truly top-notch. All in all, it's a cracking choice for a laid-back afternoon or evening with friends, especially if you're nearby, but just keep those little niggles in mind for a balanced outing.
