The Cheshire Cheese is a cosy, traditional village pub known for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. Guests come for hearty homemade food, generous portions, and favourites like steaks and Sunday roasts, praised for great value. With five cask ales, ciders, and craft pumps, it attracts ale lovers and walkers exploring the Peak District. Its rustic charm, relaxed setting, and quality hospitality make it a popular stop for locals, tourists, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
The Cheshire Cheese offers 4–5 cosy public rooms around the main bar, including a lounge with a roaring fire and a separate restaurant area for dining. Guests can also enjoy a scenic beer garden. Accommodation sits in a renovated barn opposite the pub, providing four en‑suite rooms, including one with disabled access. The pub itself is wheelchair accessible, family friendly, and provides varied seating across its public spaces. The layout supports multiple small dining and drinking areas with flexible capacity.
The private accommodation at the Cheshire Cheese offers three spacious bedrooms, a newly fitted modern kitchen, and a family bathroom, providing comfortable living for an on‑site operator or family. A small private seating area adds a quiet space away from the main pub, creating a practical and welcoming home environment within the property.
Located on Longnor’s High Street in the heart of the Peak District, the Cheshire Cheese sits in a scenic village popular with walkers and visitors. Its central position offers easy access to Buxton, Chatsworth, and surrounding countryside, making it a well‑placed stop for locals and tourists alike.
I’m looking for a Pub Partner who wants to be at the heart of a village community, someone who genuinely cares about great food, warm hospitality, and creating a place where everyone feels they belong. This is more than a business opportunity; it’s a chance to shape a pub with real character, build meaningful relationships, and take a strong foundation to the next level. If you’re driven, community‑minded, and excited to grow something truly special, this could be the perfect fit.
