The Tatton Altrincham

Ah, The Tatton Altrincham – it's one of those pubs that really grows on you once you step inside. From the reviews I've had a look at, it's clear this place shines when it comes to hosting events; folks have raved about the space for parties, with staff going above and beyond to sort everything out. I love how it's kept that old-school pub feel with a recent refurb that makes it feel fresh yet familiar, and the outside area sounds perfect for soaking up the sunshine with a well-priced drink in hand. The regulars add a nice, welcoming touch, making it feel like a proper local spot. On the other hand, it does seem to struggle with footfall, so you might find it a bit empty, which could dampen the atmosphere if you're after a buzzing night. Those limited opening hours are a bit of a nuisance too – only open a couple of days a week means it's not the go-to for spontaneous plans. And while it's great for drinks, skipping on food might leave you wanting more if you're peckish. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're in Altrincham and fancy a straightforward, friendly pub experience, but it's worth knowing the quirks upfront to set your expectations right.
