great pubs

The Davenport Arms, Woodford, Cheshire SK7 1PS

An old redbrick pub dating from the early years of the 19th century that used to be part of a working farm. The licence has been held by the same family for 80 years. The interior has seen a few changes over the years, but retains a multi-roomed feel, with a traditional tap-room on the left, cosy snug on the right and a more open-plan main bar area at the rear, all warmed by real fires in winter. There’s a paved outside drinking area at the front and a spacious enclosed garden to the rear. The exterior is enlived by hanging baskets of flowers in Spring and Summer.
