| Food: | Good food at lunch (Friday-Sunday) and dinner. A slightly restricted choice at lunch time but you are sure to find something you’ll like.

| Finding it: | Rainow village can be reached from Bollington either via Ingersley Road and Blaze Hill – turn right at the Lookout crossroads onto the B5470 and the Robin Hood is a mile down on the right – or via Windmill Lane – turn left on the B5470 Macclesfield/Whaley Bridge road and follow it through much of Rainow village until you see the pub on your left. The entrance to the car park is in the lane off the main road. |
| * Brian and Zara Fisher have stepped in, after Karen Lawrence has retired, to keep the pub open while the owners, Punch Pubs, engage new tenants. |
