The Hanging Gate is a fantastic pub, please do pop in if you are passing, they really do need the trade🍻

The Hanging Gate is an old Drovers pub, with a history of hospitality stretching over 400 years.
Situated in Higher Sutton, on the outskirts of a village 3 miles east of Macclesfield, the second highest pub in Cheshire,
the Hanging Gate enjoys spectacular views across the Cheshire Plain.

Dating from 1621, this is a proper rustic pub with low ceilings and beams, original stone-flagged floors and roaring fires.
