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 roaring 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.
400 years worth of character awaits you in this little pub on the edge of Macclesfield forest.
We have a wide variety of beers, wine, spirits, soft and non-alcoholic drinks on offer.
With real fires, stone flag floors and low ceilings - please watch your head on our low beams.
Enjoy views reaching as far as North Wales from our large beer garden.
Following the change of the clocks and with the promise of lighter nights and warmer weather, from Thursday 11th April,

Are you serving food? We hope to have our kitchen up and running in the next couple of weeks serving a small menu of basic snacks and pub grub. Please follow us on social media for news and updates.
Are you dog friendly? Sorry we no longer allow dogs in the pub due to many treating our lovely walls and floors as a toilet. Dogs are welcome outside in our beer gardens and covered shelter. If you are alone with your dog, we are happy to provide table service - just give us a shout!
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.
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.
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.
Please bear with us whilst we carry out these building works.
The rear extension will accommodate a new
function room
The side extension will bring a kitchen, indoor toilets and cellar, along with level access and viewing area
The creation of 4 guest rooms enjoying the panoramic views
