The Flying Coach in Stockport

Ah, The Flying Coach – what a lovely find in the heart of Hazel Grove! It's one of those pubs that really captures the spirit of a traditional local, with its warm, inviting atmosphere and a cracking selection of real ales that'd make any beer aficionado smile. I mean, who could resist tucking into some handmade sourdough pizzas in the beer garden on a sunny day, or enjoying the odd quiz night with friends? The staff are proper friendly and attentive, and it's brilliant that it's so dog-friendly and family-oriented, with easy access and parking to boot. But, let's be honest, it does have its downsides – sometimes when you wander in, it feels like the room goes quiet, which can make you feel a tad self-conscious, and the bar gets crowded quickly, so you might have to queue a bit for your pint. Still, once you're settled in, it's all about the good vibes and that historic charm, like the fireplace and the nods to its coaching inn roots. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed evening out, and I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area – just go with the flow and you'll have a whale of a time!
