We await information on it&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<p>The pub is set in this picturesque village surrounded by local history. The D&amp;P or Dog, as it is known to its friends, was first built c.1800, re-built about 1900, and has been kept in its original condition. In winter the comfort is maintained with a good fire in the grate and plenty of pub games most nights. TV screen for the football.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer outside picnic tables provide a place in the sun to admire the stunning displays of flowers in boxes and baskets around the walls. The D&amp;P used to be a regular winner of the Bollington in Bloom Pubs category! Village and Cheshire league cricket is played on the Recreation Ground at the rear of the pub.<\/p>\n<p>As well as supporting the local football teams and being a member of the local pool and bar games leagues, the pub has a reputation for its live music.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 17.7748%; vertical-align: top;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Address:<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 80.3256%; vertical-align: top;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">97 <a href=\"https:\/\/happyvalley.org.uk\/?page_id=2365\">Palmerston Street<\/a>, Bollington, Macclesfield, SK10 5JX<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 17.7748%; vertical-align: top;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Contact:<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 80.3256%; vertical-align: top;\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 17.7748%; vertical-align: top;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Host:<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 80.3256%; vertical-align: top;\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 17.7748%; vertical-align: top;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Open hours:<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 80.3256%; vertical-align: top;\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 17.7748%; vertical-align: top;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Brews:<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 80.3256%; vertical-align: top;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Frederic Robinson&#8217;s Cask Conditioned real ales plus lagers, Strongbow and Stowford Press cider and Guinness all on draught.
