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.

The Hanging Gate is a family run freehouse on the edge of the Gritstone trail and Macclesfield Forest – a haven 

for walkers, mountain bikers, horse riders and families alike.

Its rural location and magnificent views make it a destination pub to be enjoyed by all.

We are delighted to have been granted planning permission to extend and develop the Hanging Gate.   The developments will see the restaurant area being rebuilt, two storey in stone (Phase 1), the rear of the building extended to accommodate a kitchen, toilets and cellar (Phase 2) and finally Phase 3, the creation of 4 guest rooms on the footprint of the current outdoor toilets.

We're pleased to welcome Gritstone to the Hanging Gate bringing you a permanent food offering 

plus freshly ground coffee, cake and sweet treats.

Based in our converted outside bar, Jess and Nigel will be launching their new enterprise serving delicious, freshly cooked pizza, 

with more great things to follow.
