Hanging Gate Inn

Hanging Gate Inn The Hanging Gate is a historic Drovers’ pub with over 400 years of countryside hospitality. Muddy boots and dogs are welcome.

As the highest pub in Cheshire, we boast some of the most spectacular views from our beer garden. The Hanging Gate is an old Drovers pub, with a history of hospitality stretching over 400 years. Situated in Higher Sutton, 3 miles east of Macclesfield, the second highest pub in Cheshire, the Hanging Gate enjoys spectacular views across the Cheshire Plain. Dating from 1621, this is a proper rustic p

ub with low ceilings and beams, original stone-flagged floors and open fires. On a Roman salt route and steeped in history, the Hanging Gate is believed to be named after a combination of the Scandinavian "gata", meaning pathway, and the fact that Royal Macclesfield Forest poachers were hanged nearby. The Hanging Gate is a family run freehouse on the edge of the Gritstone trail and Macclesfield Forest – a haven for walkers, mountain bikers, horse riders and families alike. Its rural location and magnificent views make it a destination pub to be enjoyed by all.
