The Stamford
Bowdon pub with fresh food, Sunday lunches, sunny terrace and private events space.

Dogs on leads and children are welcome throughout the pub. Tables can be booked online, while some are held for walk-ins; outdoor tables are first-come, first-served.
The Altrincham.co.uk verdict
One of Altrincham's best-loved pubs, tucked away in leafy Bowdon beneath the gaze of St Mary's Church. The lovely outdoor terrace is hard to beat on a sunny afternoon, while inside it's all warmth, character and conversation – mercifully without televisions competing for your attention. Come December, it's also a serious contender for Altrincham's most Christmassy pub.
