The Cocked Hat in Stockport

You know, when you step into The Cocked Hat, it's got that lovely, old-school pub feel that just draws you in—think welcoming smiles from the staff and a snug spot to settle down with mates. The food really steals the show; I've heard so many folks raving about the Sunday roasts and home-cooked dishes, with fresh veggies, crispy potatoes, and plenty of gravy to go around. It's in a prime spot on the market place, making it ideal for a quick pint after a wander around Stockport, and at these prices, it's a real bargain. On the other hand, it's a bit of a mixed bag with the drinks; the beer selection isn't what it used to be, with just a couple of options like the Ossett White Rat holding steady, and some have found certain brews just okay rather than outstanding. It can feel a tad quiet on off-peak days, and there are whispers that it needs a spruce-up in places to keep everything shipshape. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after good grub and a friendly chat, but it might not wow you on every front—so pop in with an open mind and enjoy the best bits!
