The Vine,
Barns Lane, Dunham Massey, Cheshire
TEL
When I saw this pub I thought at first it was a residential house because it has no pub sign anywhere. Then I noticed a menu in the window and that the person sitting at the picnic table out front was drinking out of a pub-style pint glass.
It might have originated as a private house, a local directory of 1909 says it was occupied by a Mrs Katherine Allen, a beer retailer. That meant she was licensed to sell beer from her house.
It has a cosy bar area and separate dining rooms and a nice outside sitting space surrounded by hedges. .
The disabled access is quite good.
