The Chiverton Tap in Cheadle Hulme

Ah, The Chiverton Tap – it's one of those hidden gems that really hits the spot for a relaxed pint with mates. I've got to say, the beer selection is spot on; they've got this brilliant range of real ales and keg options that rotate regularly, so there's always something new to try without it feeling overwhelming. The atmosphere is just lovely too – it's welcoming and well-decorated, making it a proper cosy spot to settle in for a chat. Prices are fair, which is always a win, and they throw in some great events with food that add a bit of extra buzz. It's dead handy being near the train station as well, perfect for a quick stop-off. On the flip side, though, you might find they've sold out of things like their famous pork pies now and then, which is a shame if that's what you're craving. And being a smaller micropub, it can get a bit snug when it's packed, so plan ahead if you're in a larger group. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone after a good pint in a friendly setting – I'd definitely recommend giving it a go, just keep an eye on those opening times to make sure you're not caught out!
