Quirky village pub loved by plane spotters near Manchester Airport wins award

A village pub hailed a "plane spotters’ paradise" has won a top award from real ale society CAMRA. The Railway Inn in Mobberley near Knutsford sits right at the end of Manchester Airport's runway 2 and has become a popular spot for aviation fans to watch the planes fly overhead.

But the pub is also a real hit with families thanks to its huge outdoor play area and wealth of garden seating. The pub even has a crown bowling green right next to the venue.

The Cheshire pub's owners are now celebrating winning the CAMRA “Spring Pub of the Season” award. Mystery CAMRA members paid visits to the pub to sample its pints which are supplied from local breweries Dunham Massey, Mobberley and Wincle.
