Welcome

The Hanging Gate is an old Drovers pub, with a history of hospitality stretching over 400 years.

Situated in Higher Sutton, on the outskirts of a village 3 miles east of Macclesfield, the second highest pub in Cheshire, 

the Hanging Gate enjoys spectacular views across the Cheshire Plain.


Dating from 1621, this is a proper rustic pub with low ceilings and beams, original stone-flagged floors and open fires.

frequently asked questions....

Are you serving food?  Work has started to rejuvenate this iconic pub.  Consequently our kitchen is out of action and are not serving food just yet but have regular street food pop ups.  Please check social media for the latest information.

Can I leave my car and go for a walk?  Sorry, although many promise to return for a drink afterwards, we find they have gone for hours and sadly often don't.  We have limited car parking spaces and need them for customers who are using the pub for the duration of their visit.

Can I hire the pub for an event? Yes!  We provide private hire for small functions such as birthdays, christenings, funerals, networking events etc.  Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Are you dog friendly?  Yes, we welcome well behaved dogs in the bar area but please keep them on a lead both inside and out (we have cattle grazing on our field) and off the furniture.

Do you allow camper vans to stop over night?  Yes, we have space for 5 vans, with access to bins, water and toilets during pub opening hours.  We charge £10/night.  Please contact us to book.
