The Station
An old-fashioned local at the north end of the village. A narrow front bar and a back room with darts, a TV and a card table.
Good to know
- It's deeper than it looks from outside. Check the back room before you decide there are no seats.
- A good last stop: you'll end up chatting to the regulars.

History
Started selling beer in 1879, opposite the new Didsbury railway station, which opened in January 1880. By 1881 it was trading as the Station Hotel. The line closed in the 1960s, and the Metrolink now runs along it.
Its beer once came from Taylor's Eagle Brewery, which also owned the Royal Oak.
