PURE 107.8 FM
ONCE again Stockport’s radio station Pure 107.8FM is searching for Stockport’s Perfect Pub.
We want to find the best local in the borough and we want you to help us out.
We have narrowed down the search to eight finalists suggested by listeners of Pure FM.
For the next few weeks in the Stockport Express we will be highlighting two of the eight finalists each week.
We’ll be talking to the licensees and the locals in all of the pubs over the next few weeks on Pure 107.8FM.
If you want to vote for your favourite then send an e-mail to pub@ pureradio.org.uk with your chosen pub in the subject bar.
Voting closes at 2pm on Friday, June 26, and any multiple voting will be disqualified.
Here is a full list of this year’s finalists:
1. Bakers Vaults, Market Place
2. Church Inn, Cheadle Hulme
3. Fiveways, Hazel Grove
4. Hope Inn, Heaton Norris
5. Marple Tavern, Marple
6. Nursery Inn, Heaton Norris
7. The Spinning Top, Town centre
8. The Victoria, Offerton
THE Fiveways, Stephen and Vicky Henry have managed the pub since Joseph Holt’s spent £1.8 million on a refurbishment some 18 months ago.
THE pub won an award for the best food pub in the Holt’s estate.
The Hope Inn, on Wellington Road North was acquired by Martin and Samantha Wood in late 2012 and opened its doors to the public under its new guise in early February 2013.
The pub has the Foolhardy micro-brewery in its cellar.
