Folks,

 

I’d just like to emphasise a couple of points about the Parking (to avoid annoying any of the local residents) and the food.

 

Parking
Park Tavern is situated on a busy Main Road (Park Lane) near the junction with Brown Street, with no dedicated Car Park. On street parking is essentially non-existent as the surrounding roads are all residential.  There are two suggested Parking locations.
South Park Car Park
South Park car park at the end of Park Grove Road (postcode for satnav is SK11 8AS), which can house about 35 cars, is about 2 to 3mins walk from the Park Tavern.  We're hoping to have a marshal on hand to cram as many people in as possible.  The advantage of Parking here is that it is (slightly) closer to the pub and to the Start / Finish (which is between the Pub and this Car Park).  The strong disadvantages to Parking here are that the Car Park has no lighting and critically that when the Car Park is full there is NO nearby on street parking.
B & Q Car Park
B & Q Car Park is accessed from Statham Street (postcode for satnav is SK11 6XN), is about 3 to 4mins walk from the Park Tavern. We haven't asked permission but they don't have barriers on the gate and it's large and fairly well lit.  B&Q's postcode is SK11 6XF.
The advantage to parking here are that it is well lit and if nervous about parking in the B & Q Car Park, there is plenty of street parking on Union Street and Crossall Street, and you are guaranteed to be able to find somewhere to park – no matter how late you arrive.  Also, if travelling from North of Macclesfield, you would have walked to the pub in less time than the drive to the South Park Car Park.

Food:

The Park Tavern has burger nights every Thursday, and Gill goes once a month for her Book Club.  These burger nights are popular, and they regularly run out of burgers, so make sure you pre-order, if you want a burger.

 

Thanks

 

Mike
