The Aviator in Cheadle Hulme

You know, when you're looking for a solid pub to pop into with friends, The Aviator in Woodford really stands out as a lovely option. It's got that fresh, modern feel without losing the warmth that makes a good pub special – think comfortable seating and a welcoming atmosphere where you can unwind after a long week. The staff are just fantastic; they're quick to recommend dishes or pour a pint, and from what I've heard from folks who've been, they go the extra mile to make sure everyone's happy. The food is where it shines brightest – their Sunday roasts are legendary, with juicy meats, unlimited Yorkshire puds, and lashings of gravy that leave you properly satisfied, alongside a menu full of tasty seasonal specials that cater to all tastes. And don't overlook the drinks; there's a cracking range of ales and beers that pair perfectly with it all. It's reasonably priced too, with some tempting offers that make it easy on the wallet. On the flip side, if you're after that rustic, no-frills pub vibe, it might not quite hit the mark, and it does get buzzing on busier days, so planning ahead is a good idea. All in all, it's a gem of a place that I'd happily recommend for a bite and a bevvy – you'll likely leave with a smile and already planning your next visit.
