I had no idea the Hare and Hounds had gone. I had a friend who was quite regular in there, but since he died a few years back I've not been in.
I would add the Spread Eagle, King Bill and Toad and Tulip in Ashton, along with the Friendship which is currently being renovated.

Miners in Poynton went all 'gastro' still is 'was' a good pub, sold again about 18 months ago, went into Administration on Christmas Eve (aka Citylink).

Lovely location think the lease is back for sale or soon will be back up for sale at £70k
