The Cheshire Line
Manchester Road, Cheadle, SK8 2NZ
A nice restaurant pub in a country setting, even though it's little more than a mile from the urban centre of Cheadle. The building started life as a railway station in 1866; the railway line still runs only yards away. Traffic on the line was reduced to occcasional freight trains in the 1960s and the stattion was closed. The building was left derelict until the 1980s, when it was given a refurb and turned into a restaurant and pub, originally called The Station. It was owned first by Banks Brewery then by Chesters. Now it is a free house.

I'm not sure but it is probably child-friendly
It is next door to a garden centre which sells gifts and confectionery as well as plants and garden equipment. There is a car park between the pub and the garden centre, accessed via a U-turning driveway off the main road.
