About This Pub

Ah, the Finger Post Hotel – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local hideaway in Stockport, you know? I had a lovely time there the other week; the staff are absolute stars, always chatting away and going the extra mile to make sure everything's spot on. The food really steals the show – think hearty Sunday roasts that leave you satisfied, or a quick bite with your favourite Robinsons pint. It's got that traditional Victorian charm with a cosy vibe, and there's always something buzzing, like a quiz night or live music to liven things up. Plus, it's super inclusive with dog-friendly areas, a beer garden for sunnier days, and easy access for everyone, which is brilliant if you're popping in with the family or need a quick charge for your car. On the flip side, I've noticed a few mixed feelings online; the overall rating isn't quite five stars, so maybe the crowds on weekends can make it a bit hectic, or those operating hours aren't as straightforward as they'd like. Still, it's a solid choice for a catch-up with mates – honest, it's got that heartwarming community spirit, but just keep an eye on the details to ensure it's running smoothly when you fancy a visit.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in
  • The food is top-notch, especially the Sunday roasts which are piping hot and full of flavour
  • It's a proper community pub with a cosy, welcoming atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a pint and some live entertainment like quizzes or music
  • Dog-friendly vibes mean you can bring your four-legged mate along without any fuss
  • Family-friendly setup with options like a beer garden, free parking, and even wheelchair access, plus EV charging nearby for convenience
Cons
  • There seems to be a bit of confusion around the operating hours, as some info suggests it might close earlier than expected, which could catch you out
  • With an overall rating of 4.2, it's clear that while most folks love it, not every visit is flawless – perhaps the busier nights can get a tad overwhelming
  • The pub's status appears a bit unclear in places, so it's worth double-checking before heading over to avoid any disappointment

Brought my dad here today for his birthday, dad had fish and chips, my husband had a special off the special board and I had the hot roast beef. Great food, I didn't get the lady's name behind the bar but thank you for your hospitality. Great atmosphere in an oldie pud.

Came shortly after Christmas with our dog hoping to get some food&bevs. Lovely staff, dog friendly and the food was great. They went the extra mile when they were out of the vegetarian option and provided a delicious meal for myself
