About This Pub
Ah, The Earl of Mercia – what a gem of a pub tucked away in Macclesfield. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this brilliant selection of beers that are properly looked after, and folks are raving about how refreshing they are, especially if you're a fan of well-kept ales. The staff sound like a right friendly bunch, always up for a chat and making sure everyone feels comfortable, which really adds to the homely vibe. Plus, with things like pool and darts on offer, it's ideal for a laid-back evening with friends, and the music keeps things lively without being overwhelming. Prices are fair too, so you won't feel short-changed. On the downside, it's a shame about that one instance where a beer wasn't quite right – it's not a common complaint, but it does happen, so maybe give it a quick taste before settling in. All in all, it's a solid spot for a good night out, with more highs than lows, and I'd say it's worth popping in if you're in the area for a proper pub experience.
