Something interesting is happening in Stockport right now. Having played second fiddle to Manchester for many years, the town is finally getting its moment in the sun.
The rise of local lads Blossoms - one of the town’s more recent musical exports - goes some way to explaining the sudden interest from outsiders. And then there’s Stockport County’s long-awaited return to the football league after an 11-year absence, which has given fans, and even those with a passing interest, something to be proud of.
However, a big reason for the town's resurgence is its thriving food and drink scene, led by a host of creative and forward-thinking independents. A flurry of new and exciting arrivals, predominantly concentrated along the Underbanks and market areas of the town, is putting Stockport on the map, and attracting operators across the region.
