Introduction:
The pub is set in this picturesque village surrounded by local history. The D&P, as it is known to its friends, was built c.1800 and has been kept in its original condition. In winter the comfort is maintained with a good fire in the grate and plenty of pub games most nights.
In the summer outside picnic tables provide a place in the sun to admire the stunning displays of flowers in boxes and baskets around the walls. The D&P is now a regular winner of the Bollington in Bloom Pubs category! Village league cricket is played on the recreation ground at the rear of the pub.
