We had a lovely Sunday roast at The Boars Head and were very much looked after by Diane and the team. Alfie was very attentive with taking our order and ensuring a positive lunchtime for us all. We did pick a Sunday when there was no crackling available but the chef was great at putting together a tasty apple sauce to go with the generous tender slices of pork. He also stopped the bar food ready doorbell sound, which our two dashchunds reacted to (first time in a pub) so that was very thoughtful and definitely an advert for putting the customer first. Well done guys, we'll be back next time we're in Poynton. Many thanks, Kevin, Julie, Toffee and Tilly. 24th May 2026

I’d like to thank Diane who looked after my mum and dad yesterday when my dad took a funny turn after they’d been out cycling for the day.
Diane looked after them until we could get there to bring them back home to Glossop.
Your kindness was really appreciated, thanks again x

Absolutely wonderful bar, the stuff were super friendly and the food was just the hearty pub food Ive been after. They are super dog friendly with treats for the dogs and the option to sit in or outside. Its in a great location for a long walk along the canal or a play in the park with the dogs.
I suggest parking up the canal a bit and walk along side the canal. Stop off at the pub and then head. back along the old railway line.
I've added a picture to show the walk I went on. I stuck to the left side of the canal.

Traditional pub a short distance from the canal and other walking routes. Lovely staff, with good beer and a reasonable range of typical pub food. We were told that it’s not possible to add tips to card payments; in an era where ever fewer people carry cash, this penalises the hard working staff and has to stop
