Open since the 19th century, The Ashlea is precisely the sort of country pub that we all hope to chance upon at least once in our lives. The period features and vintage decor, the homely feel, the traditional menu and drink offering. It’s everything you hope for and more.
So whether you’re stopping by for a quick pint after a walk in the Abney Hall Estate, slowing down for the night after exploring Manchester, or desperately craving a good pub meal, the Ashlea is always worth a visit. After all, it is one of the best pubs in Cheadle.
Perfectly located on the outskirts of Manchester
Located on the southern outskirts of Manchester, Cheadle is a gorgeous village that acts as a perfect base to explore the city. From LEGOLAND Discovery Centre and SEALIFE Manchester to The Coronation Experience and Quarry Bank Mill, you’re surrounded by family-friendly activities that are guaranteed to create lasting memories. And with excellent transport links and ample parking opportunities, you’ll never be stuck for something to do.
If it’s a pub walk you’re after, the Ashlea is ideally placed on the edge of Abney Hall Estate, a substantial Grade II* listed Victorian house surrounded by a lovely park. There, you’ll find a short, circular walk that weaves around the two small lakes, across the dry marshland and past grazing areas for some rather impressive Jersey cattle, before ending up back at our pub. Alternatively, we’re also located near Bruntwood Park, which offers acres of stunning woodland, as well as an 18-hole par 3 pitch and putt golf course.
The best pub food in Cheadle
The key to a great pub meal is simple. A generous menu of classic dishes crafted with care, an excellent drink selection and a sumptuous selection of puds for that sweet finish.
As for our Sunday roast, that’s our speciality. Plates piled high with slow-cooked meats, an array of vegetables, Yorkshire puddings, crispy roasties and all the trimmings. Not for you? Not a problem. We have plenty of options for all dietary needs, including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free, as well as a Young Ones menu to satisfy little tummies. And that also extends to our range of seasonal specials and dessert menu, too.
So if you’re looking for pub food in Cheadle that can cater for the entire family, the Ashlea is here for you. Just promise to bring a hearty appetite.
Settle in for a relaxing time
We want you to be as comfortable as possible while you’re here. From free Wi-Fi to disabled facilities and plenty of high chairs, we’ve thought of everything you need for a relaxing visit.
When the sun’s out, our spacious beer garden is the place to be. If the Manchester weather is playing up though, we’ve got plenty of seating indoors. That includes space for your dog, as we’re also happy to call ourselves one of the best dog-friendly pubs in the area. So make sure to bring the whole family along to our lovely countryside pub in Cheadle.
