A little bit of history
The Hanging Gate is an old Drovers pub, with a history of hospitality stretching over 400 years.
Situated in Higher Sutton, on the outskirts of a village 3 miles east of Macclesfield, the second highest pub in Cheshire, the Hanging Gate enjoys spectacular views across the Cheshire Plain.
Dating from 1621, this is a proper rustic pub with low ceilings and beams, original stone-flagged floors and open fires.
On a Roman salt route and steeped in history, the Hanging Gate is believed to be named after a combination of the Scandinavian "gata", meaning pathway, and the fact that Royal Macclesfield Forest poachers were hanged nearby โ rumour has it that they were held chained in the cellar until they met their fate.
