An Edwardian brick built pub standing opposite the sandstone parish church in a small picturesque village. The oldest part of the Inn was constructed in 1722 and the original foundation plaque is located in the bar. Handled glasses available. The house beer, Great Budworth Bitter, is rebadged Founder's Ale. Very much the centre of the local community. The entire village is steeped in history: the Running Pump at the foot of Great Budworth was until 1934 the source of drinking water for the whole of the community. It is renown that local sweethearts would swear undying love here, and according to legend the love will last "so long as runs that water from the spout". Excellent quality food including fish specialities.
