The Flower Pot is a large end of terrace pub located on a busy main route the B5470, one of the main routes in and out Macclesfield town centre, which is just a couple of minutes drive and sits in a primarily residential area directly opposite Hurdsfield Holy Trinity Church, which creates a pleasant vista. Several residential arears surround the property allowing plenty of footfall.

Pub Layout

On entering the pub the lounge is on the right, public bar on the left. The lounge bar contains the main bar area with comfortable fixed and table seating. Gaming machines are located here along with juke box and big screen TV. In the bar you’ll find pool table, TV and juke box. From the lounge bar a door leads out to a terraced beer garden with a heated, covered area for smokers.

The front elevation houses large garden benches with integral seating.
