Yorkshire wrap lunch is almost Vault-less...

recognition in the last five years.

And few places represent the area’s rich heritage and future potential better than the Bakers Vaults.

Previously known as the George and Dragon, the pub was established in 1775 and built on the remaining foundations of the medieval Stockport castle.

The original building was demolished in the late 19th century and rebuilt in the gin palace style of the times.

After its closure in 2013, in swooped ex-Coronation Street star Rupert Hill, Jonny Booth and Jamie Langrish - who reopened it the following summer.

With investment from Robinson’s Brewery, they gave it a trendy but traditional makeover with patterned floor tiles, navypainted woodwork and trailing strings of Edison lightbulbs setting off original features.

Live music has remained a fixture with free performances every Sunday from 3pm.

It’s a concept Greater Manchester has gone mad for in the last couple of years, with queues stretching across Exchange Square for the ones dished up by Manchester Christmas Markets trader Porky Pig.

There are three fillings on the menu here: beef brisket, pulled chicken thigh, and lemon and herb jackfruit, all £6.50.

Puds the size of dinner plates are slathered with sage and onion stuffing, piled with your choice of filling and then loaded with carrots and green beans, dribbled with gravy, and clamped in a sandwich press.

We order the two meat options, both of which have been slow-cooked into tender fronds.

Both lack a little seasoning but it’s nothing that can’t be fixed by a dunk into a pot of extra red wine gravy (£1), so deep, dark and glossy you can see your reflection in it.

If I’m paying for gravy I want more than this little condiment pot of it, though.

A side of cauliflower cheese is crisped and charred on top, giving way to a gooey bechamel underneath (£4.20 for two to share), and roast potatoes (£3.50), well, aren’t.

Instead they appear to have been deep fried, by
