Where It All Began

The little cabin on the moors

This is where Nicky's started — a cabin up on Ripponden Road, half a mile up the hill from junction 22 of the M62, by the big mast. For years it's kept truckers, bikers, travellers and Pennine Way walkers going with fresh, homemade food and a proper brew. Fancy a sit-down meal and a pint with it? Visit Nicky's new kitchen at The Wharf Tavern in Stalybridge.

See you at the cabin!  Nicky x
