The Wellington - Stockport

You'll find yourself on Wellington Road in the heart of Stockport, pushing through the doors of a pub that feels like it's been holding court here for decades. The Wellington does what proper pubs do best: it serves decent beer, the kind of food that sticks to your ribs, and creates the sort of atmosphere where you're just as likely to bump into someone you know as you are to strike up a conversation with a stranger. It's the sort of place where regulars outnumber the passing trade, which tells you everything you need to know about what they're doing right.
