THE BRIDGE

PRESTBURY VILLAGE

A Pillar of the Community…

The Bridge in Prestbury Village, sitting proudly on the Banks of the River Bollin, has become a focal point over the years within this historic Cheshire village, providing excellent food, drink, accommodation and entertainment to the bustling community.

Dating back to 1626, The Bridge emits a charm and character that even the most hardened visitor will struggle to ignore. Prestbury was a prominent location for silk manufacturing at the turn of last century and many of the historic worker’s cottages can be seen today just a short walk from our Grade II listed venue. 

Located on the prestigious Prestbury high street the Bridge is complimented by a collection of carefully curated shops, cafes and restaurants, from Base Pizzeria, to Henry’s Café, Prestbury Flowers to Rococo, our incredible neighbours nestled in the village work hard to preserve the family-friendly community that Prestbury is known for. Just a stones throw from The Bridge is Prestbury railway station which connects our little village to the main lines of Manchester and London.

If you’re into your outdoor pursuits, Prestbury has it all – the local tennis club is just a short walk from the high street, while Prestbury Golf Club with its lush greens and sloping hills provides a course not to be missed for the avid golfer. Alongside this, there are many popular walks around Prestbury from the Bollin Valley Walk, to the historic Hare Hill House.

Suppliers & Community

As all of our properties are located in the heart of Cheshire, we are lucky to be supplied from some of the very best local suppliers from James, the lovely man at the Tea from the Manor, to the incredible team at Cheshire Gin Distillery to the amazing butchers at Altham’s providing the best quality meats for our ‘grill’ selection. We like to champion all things local which gives farmers the fairest prices for their produce, suppliers source the very best ingredients and we can see the journey very literally from farm to plate.

Integrating our hotel operations into the life of our local communities and society of our Cheshire is highly rewarding for Flat Cap and its employees. We believe that the local economic and social impact of our hotels can be managed positively and responsibly. At Flat Cap we believe our responsibility extends beyond our employees and guests but into the communities in which we operate within. 

All our poultry produce is "Red Tractor Assured"

All our fish is supplied via "MSC" approved suppliers

We buy British where possible, taking into account food seasonality and quality of produce.

We check suppliers are acting ethically in sourcing and production

There are no endangered fish species used on our menus

Laura has over 15 years experience in the hospitality industry and is a fantastic asset to Flat Cap, bringing with her a wealth of knowledge from various bars and restaurants.

Laura has also spent some time in the health industry as a carer and one of her most notable qualities as a General Manager is her ability to connect with the community; she is passionate about getting involved in community events and has led The Bridge’s attendance at the Prestbury Christmas fair to great success, as well as adding an Easter Eggstravaganza and a Forest Gin Supper Club to her busy community calendar.

We know Laura Fuller is a friendly Flat Cap face you will see for many years to come and hope her skillset continues to support business on the local highstreet.

Martyn is responsible for creating all of the menus across the group with his incredible, dedicated kitchen teams.

Ellie Birchill
