Old Rectory

You'll find this Hungry Horse pub planted right on Churchgate, doing exactly what it says on the tin with zero pretensions. The sort of place where you can rock up any day of the week from breakfast through to evening and know you'll get a proper plate of food without breaking the bank. The menu runs the full gamut of pub classics - think mixed grills, curry nights, and Sunday roasts that'll sort you right out. It's not going to set the world alight, but when you want something dependable after a day wandering the market or before catching a film, it delivers. The building itself has a bit of character, and there's enough space that you're not fighting for a table even when Stockport's busy.
