Bakers Vaults

You'll find this proper Victorian boozer right on Market Place, where the cobbles meet modern Stockport life. The Robinson's brewery connection means the ales are spot-on – think Unicorn and Trooper flowing from taps that know their business. The kitchen doesn't mess about either, turning out decent pub classics that actually taste like someone cares. The interior's got that lived-in feel that only comes from decades of proper use – dark wood, etched glass, and enough character to fill a novel. Sunday roasts draw crowds from across town, and rightly so. It's the sort of place where you pop in for one and end up staying for four, watching Market Place life unfold through windows that have seen it all.
