The George & Dragon. Handy for the church. About to be be demolished, a sad end after more than 230 years. The picture shows it in a happier state than today's derelict shambles. Click on the picture for more.
The Swan - traditional interior with low ceilings. Probably the oldest pub in the town. Click on the photo for more.
The King William - small but popular traditional pub. Also does B&B. Click on the photo for more.
The Brasserie, sometimes known as The French Brasserie, on Water Lane. A good spot for watching life go by in the town. Adjacent and to your right is The Slug & Lettuce. Click on the photo for more. It isn't painted blue now, as they repaint the exterior frequently. last time I looked it was matte black.

The Sam Finney, formerly the Samuel Finney - one of the newer pubs in Wilmslow. Named after a notable local of bygone times. Click on the photo for more.
The Coach & Four, formerly the New Inn - adjacent to Sainsbury's. After a major renovation (cost £400,000 apparently) it's not that much different inside (fortunately). And less than a year after its renovation it was refurbished, reopening as a Heritage Inn but fortunately without a further name change. And now it's a Hydes Inn and has a hotel to serve the airport trade too. Click on the photo for more.
The Rectory. Wilmslow's most trendy pub. Nice to sit out in the garden on a sunny day and to avoid the background music which doesn't match its otherwise upmarket image. A newspaper article (denied by The Rectory) alleged yet again that one must wear designer clothing to be allowed in, but I got in wearing an M&S lambswool pullover. Click on the photo for more.
Suede, formerly Zest, in Grove Street. Decorated in suedey colours. Click on the photo for more.
Carters, formerly The Carters Arms. Traditional pub but rather dark inside. Click on the picture for more (new pics needed).
The Bollin Fee, formerly The Grape & Grain - frequently refurbished and is currently a "Lloyds Bar" in the Wetherspoon chain. So, to give it the full official name, it's "Lloyds No. 1 Bar The Bollin Fee". Bollin Fee is the name of one of Wilmslow's former parishes. Very happy customers when I went in - but they were giving away free drinks at the time. Next door to The Swan. Very modern, friendly but noisy. Beer is good.
The King's Arms - the banner on the front advertises their "Chilli Banana Thai Restaurant". Yes I'm baffled too. Presumably it will be renamed The King of Siam's Arms. Located off the Fulshaw roundabout.
The Farmers Arms - another Boddington's tavern. A tall thin pub so the photo's vertical. Click on the picture for more.
The Horse & Jockey - large pub in the Lindow area. Click on the photo for more.
The Riflemans Arms - another Boddington's tavern. A large pub built to cater for the passing trade on the new road to and from Knutsford - the road never materialised but the pub remains.
