Griffin Hotel — Restaurant in Stockport

A really old, well renovated muti-roomed pub run by Holt's Brewery. The bar is a feature of the pub but sadly only now mainly used from the newer extension. Another surprising/ worrying trend is that although Holt's in many other establishments sell their full range of cask beers this one only sells Holt's bitter over its hand pump's.which suggests it's clientele are not interested in this range? A long time since I have been in & I was surprised just how quiet it was for a Friday evening. The bitter was ok, but certainly not the best...

My first visit here was back in the 1970's and little has changed. A fantastic multi room traditional pub. Always liked coming here. A Joseph Holt's pub selling their excellent bitter ( one of my all time favourite beers ) or mild. I remember telling a puzzle story about crossing a river in a small row boat with a chicken, some grain and a fox. Sadly I knocked over my pint.."you didn't need to make a river..we could imagine it!" Large car park to the side. Ic says he loves it. Large wedding party in full swing...

Well quantified in the review of our friend Madges review. Do not use The Griffin if you are particular about the welcome you receive for spending your hard earned cash. The licensee makes you feel inferior with a very condescending manner and attitude to people spending time in her pub after a hard week at work. I for one will certainly be spending my disposable income elsewhere. And it will Never be...
