The James Watts in Cheadle Hulme

Ah, The James Watts – what a gem of a pub in Cheadle! From the reviews I've had a look at, it's clear this place really shines with its friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home, and they've nailed the drinks selection with some properly kept ales that folks rave about. It's got that classic local pub charm, with a warm atmosphere that's just perfect for unwinding after a long day, and I love how they're so thoughtful about being dog-friendly, offering treats and water to keep your four-legged friends happy too. On the downside, one regular mentioned the male toilets needing a bit of TLC, which could put a dampener on things if you're not prepared. Still, with an overall rating hovering around 4.6, it's got that winning mix of good vibes and solid offerings that makes it a go-to for a casual pint or meet-up with mates. If you're in the area, I'd say give it a try – it's got more hits than misses, and you might just find yourself returning for another round.
