The
Parish Council have resisted the installation of street lighting on
the main road to retain the appropriate atmosphere in spite of the
fact that the village centre contains several expensive restaurants
which disgorge late night diners onto its busy unlit street. This
road has become busier since the opening of the A34 Handforth bypass.
However woe betide any local farmer (are there any?) who decided to
regularly drive a herd of cows down the main road in the morning rush
hour. The aforesaid organisation would be down on him like a ton of
bricks. Call me an inverted snob if you wish but that's how I feel.
However none of this can detract from the |

Admiral Rodney which is a splendid pub. Very comfortably furnished,
it has a fair-sized main bar with a small room off to the right and
a larger room at the end of the corridor leading to the kitchen. It
sells Robinsons Best Bitter and Hatters Mild. The quality of both
is never short of outstanding thanks to Peter's cellarmanship skills.
In fact the brewery could easily use the Rodney as a training school
for new tenants just entering the trade. Express an interest in the
cellar and you could find yourself taken on a guided tour! Snacks
and light meals are available at lunchtime but not in the evening.
