In a paragraph

The Brewery Tap occupies Gamul House’s tall historic hall on Lower Bridge Street, reached by about fifteen stone steps and known for Spitting Feathers beer, changing guest lines and King’s Kitchen.

What it's like

Beer is central: Spitting Feathers cask and keg, independent guests, cider, bottles and cans, with staff used to steering people through the board. West Cheshire CAMRA named it Pub of the Year in 2025 and placed it third in 2026.

Great hall, local beer and serious pub food

King's Kitchen gives the room equal weight as a food pub. Smaller plates, steak and ale pie, beer-battered fish, burgers and Sunday roasts are current staples. Booking is sensible whenever food and timing both matter.

Worth knowing

The steps are a fixed exclusion: CAMRA records about fifteen from Lower Bridge Street and no accessible toilet. If everyone can manage those, the room, beer and kitchen make this an easy recommendation. Book important meals and remember that the kitchen closes before the bar.
