The Old Hall Inn at Whitehough, Chinley, was a CAMRA double-award winner this year. Not only was it the Pub of the Year for the High Peak, Tameside and North East
Cheshire Branch, it then went on to become North Derbyshire Pub of the Year too. Both awards were presented to Dan Capper and his team on 28 July 2018

While Opening Times Magazine was there they took the opportunity to visit the Paper Mill, the Old Hall’s sister pub just across the road. This former Marston’s house has been owned by the Old Hall for some years and has recently undergone a significant makeover to give it a modern country look. Impressive new bar fittings catch the eye and a new pizza menu has been introduced. In fact, the stone-fired pizzas  have proved so popular that it’s been necessary to use one of the upstairs rooms as an overflow dinning room.  Dan also told us that the Paper Mill's beer offering will be changing. The large number of Belgian beers will be run down and instead a range of craft canned beer will be available – although to compensate the Belgian selection at the Old Hall will be increased. The Old Hall will be running one of its popular beer festivals from 21 to 23 September and if you go (there’s a hourly train service to Chinley and from the station it’s a 10-15 minute walk down to the Old Hall) make sure you check out the Paper Mill too.
