Cracking sing-a-long with the carol singers yesterday! They stopped off at @thejohnmillington, @inventive_drinkery, @archivebars, finishing with us, and all whilst raising a brilliant £128.29 for the @seashelltrustuk 🔔🎄

Absolutely at your wits end about finding that ideal stocking filler, table surprise gift or last minute finishing touch? Come take refuge by our twinkly tree of gift ideas and you'll find inspiration takes hold. We've branded glasses, our 'design your own' spirit mini selections and of course, our beer gift packs. Also, when getting in those special beers for Christmas Dinner, why not present them to your guests in a Beer Cracker? Colourful and practical. We've stocked up on our Chiv t-shirts and, of course, the perfect warm up for your guests (or just yourselves) is our special Chiv Brew mulled wine which can be taken away in 1 and 2 litre bottles. And even better, you do all your shopping with a drink in hand and no wrapping!!

We've declared Christmas early this year. But when you've the talented The Doodlebuggers on site to 'merry up' the windows, you can't deny the Christmassy vibes. To celebrate, we've started serving our Chivmas secret recipe, extra boozy Mulled Wine. Hot and spicy it will chase away the chills. Also available in 1 and 2 litre bottles for a Christmas Day treat. Pre-orders taken at the bar

Many of you may already know that our Bob isn't from round these parts. He was born and raised in a little known town on the North East Lincolnshire coast called Grimsby. @officialgtfc Today sees a clash between The Hatters of Stockport County and The Mariners of Grimsby Town. Who will Bob be supporting? The town that bred him or the town that's fed him?? Many of you may also know that Bob's sister in law, Kate, is a die hard County fan. @stockportcountyofficial There will be drinking and merriment in The Chiv later for one or the other. Mary is staying very quiet..... (Photo - Bob, Kate and Mary in happier times)

We have SOLD OUT! But we have a reserve list, so message us to get your name on it pronto.

Congratulations to Jenny and Adam on their splendid nuptials yesterday. Many of you will remember Jenny working behind our bar during and after lockdown before returning to pursue her chosen career. We had a fabulous time celebrating at the wedding and we wish you so much happiness in your future together ❤️

It's been a while since our last Beer and Food Pairing, but this time we are back with a BANG!! 🎉 Mark your calendar for Thursday 2nd November at 7.15pm, when, in partnership with the excellent At The Kitchen, we'll be capturing the flavours of Bonfire Night. Four small plates, paired with four expertly chosen beers, together summing up the sights, smells and tastes of November bonfires and explosive fun (without the cowering pets and ear defenders). Tickets are £32.50 per person. Don't be fooled by the 'small plates' description, this is fine dining and no one goes home hungry. As for the beers - we suggest the car stays home. Call 0161 485 4149. These events sell out quickly, so don't hesitate!

Independent Manchester Beer Convention. Research time - Mrs Bob on the low ABV. Well, they need investigating as much as the other beers. The Conference that really matters in Manchester this week!! @indymanbeercon

Thank you, @ercbuildingservices! What a nerve-wracking moment!

We can see clearly now the crack is gone. It's taken a while to sort this window due to its size but ERC building services were absolutely up to the job. There were a few 'gulp' moments but the whole job was done and dusted, with very little mess, in 2 hours, so we were ready for opening at 12pm on a busy Friday. Question is, do we add frosting or leave it open for a little people watching gap? Let us know! @ercbuildingservices

Tonight, it's Lucy B's last shift 😪. She's on 'til 7 if you want to say goodbye. Despite her diminutive form, she's made a big impact with her smiling face and good humour. Enjoy Sheffield, Lucy, and good luck at Uni. PS Lucy is on the right...

She didn't want a fuss. So in accordance with her wishes, we're making no fanfares, no trumpets and no fond farewells. It's Kate's last shift tonight. Byee. JOKING!!! SORRY KATE. YOU'RE GETTING THE LOT!! 🥂🍻🍺🥃🍹🎺🎺🎺🎺🔔📣📢📣📢🎸🎸. You will be madly missed, but enjoy the slower pace of life (boring!!), the chance to take a breath (boring!) and smell the clover (boring) and we'll hold the position open for when you've had enough of all that!!! Bob will be bereft. Who can he aim his 'disappointed' look at now?

Update: Unfortunately, Mary has been postponed and Mr Wetherspoon himself will be on the show. Regardless, it’s an important issue and we were chuffed to have been considered. Our marvellous Mary is back today with Jeremy Vine on Channel 5 sometime between 11:15 and 12:00pm to discuss James May’s recent article in The Times: “Cheap supermarket booze could destroy traditional pubs”. Listen in today to see what Mary has to say! https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/james-may-supermarket-alcohol-british-pubs-hcjhwrl3k @jamesmaybloke @jeremyvineon5

Happy National IPA Day! This hoppy hootenanny happens on the 1st Thursday of every August. Celebrate this excellent day (and Sandra’s birthday!) with us and a nice pint of Kashpur from Thornbridge & Salopian or Juice Rocket from Three Blind Mice Brewery. Like an IPA with a bit more bite? Try a 6.5% from Verdant. @thornbridge @salopianbrewery @3blindmicebrew @verdanttbrew

It's that time of year when we whoop, yell and celebrate our own Southern Belle, the irrepressible Saahrndra Sandra Dorney. The longest serving member of our current staff, we would be be lost without her infectious good humour and good natured professionalism. She's also a darned good drinking buddy. Happy birthday Sandra. We love you!!

Take Out To Table. We don't do hot food but YOU can have hot food in our pub. Order a delivery or grab a take out from any of the excellent establishments in the area and eat at your table. Or, as some enterprising regulars did last week, bring your own cheese board, crackers etc and have a mini picnic. It's your choice. Whether you're watching the pennies or fancy a one stop night, we're happy to accommodate your munchy needs. We're happy to provide the grappling irons and table coverings to go with, if you want the 'fine dining' experience 😉. So we do the booze but you can BYOF!!

Congratulations and well deserved to our sister pub. Seven years of doing their thing superbly! @themountingstone

They are back in stock!! The much celebrated and envied black Chiv t-shirts are here. Worn by the great, good and the downright evil (we'll let you decide who is which) they sell out quickly so don't hesitate. Available in small, medium, large and extra large for the bargain price of £22.50.

Happy birthday shout out to PAUL!! He's only been with us a few months but already we couldn't imagine the bar without him - so don't even think about it, eh Mr D. Shy, retiring and wouldn't say 'boo to a goose' is NOT how we'd describe this Chiv grafter. His fun and enthusiasm since joining the crew has been fantastic, so much so, that you've even had Bob contemplating putting Sheena on the playlist (but it's still a no 😉). So glad you joined our team and TRY to enjoy the limelight today - we know it'll be tough.

Not only is today the longest day, it’s the legend’s birthday! Happy birthday, ma’am! We hope you have a brilliant day ☀️ 🍷

Happy International Gin Day! We have a fabulous collection in The Chiv, but a big shout out to our most local supplier Stockport Gin. Why not treat yourself to a tasty G&T today in the glorious sunshine ☀️

Let’s try that one again 🤣 Happy National Pinot Grigio Day! 🥂 Why not celebrate today (or any day really) with a nice light-bodied glass of this delicious wine and marvel at its ability to be paired with just about anything, or just enjoyed simply on its own. Pinot not your bag? Don’t worry, we have some other delicious options for your tastbuds.

W E A R E E I G H T 🎂 Well, well, can you believe it. Eight years ago today, our pub was opened to Cheadle Hulme by the cutest doorman ever known. And just like little Isobel, it's gone on to thrive and grow beyond our modest ambition of a one roomed pub. To celebrate, we've had a few touch ups and upgrades done and there will be more to come over the next few months. We don't ever take your custom and support for granted, so we like to try and keep the place fresh and bright for our Chiv community. As always, an unqualified 'thank you' to all who have come and gone over the last eight years. We started Chiv, but you've made it.

She's only gone and done it!! A while ago we asked the very talented Sophie Hall Portraits to design a mural for us. We wanted something that summed us up and celebrated what we are about. We are so chuffed with the result. And it's brightened up the pub's second most frequented area (second only to the bar). So, for anyone paying a visit TO our pub, paying a visit IN our pub is now a delightful experience. @sophiehallartist

As you can see by the cheeky hat motif, we're starting the early Christmas vibes and whetting your appetite for gift ideas. First up, how about sending your dearest and far-est a momento of your friendly local? We have copy prints in card format of the stunning painting done by Katie Patel Art of The Chiv front at night. Beautufully printed, and just £3 per card, they can double as a gift if you find the right frame. Look back tomorrow for more 'off the wall' gift ideas......😉

Your perfect weekend retreat for sun or shade. And our aircon is on full blast!!

Birthday time again. This time it's our Southern Belle who struck it lucky up in the North (well we like to think so). She's the lady who literally has pubs in her blood (and that's not just the red wine). She also runs an excellent photography training business, can teach English as a foreign language, is a wild swimming fanatic and can sniff out a good veggie pizza within a two mile radius. Never under estimate our Sandyrah!! Happy birthday Blondie. Can't think why you wanted the day off though......

This excellent beer from local brewers Thirst Class Ale was first appreciated by Bob at The Stockport Beer & Cider Festival last month and he recognised it as a winner. It hit our pumps Thursday and was drunk dry by Friday night. It all goes to prove that these festivals aren't just about boozing and schmoozing. @thirstclassale

Hands up who DIDN'T have their photo taken with Bob yesterday at Stockport Beer Festival? It might be easier...... @skbeerfestival

We're having a last Pink Push to the end of May to get as much money in for Prevent Breast Cancer. So we are giving you the chance to get hold of one of our Chiv in the Pink t-shirts for £22.50, with all proceeds going to the Paint Cheadle Hulme & Bramhall Pink campaign. We've small, medium and extra large still available, but not for long so get in quick. Feel bright and stylish in the happiest pink possible and for a great cause.

A massive thank you to The Veggie Pie Company for this sensational congratulatory pie!! Jo's pies are a perfect accompaniment to our beers and we are proud to have them in our pie fridge. Bring on the party this Saturday!! @theveggiepiecompany

Absolutely incredible by the amazing Katie Patel @k.patel.artwork

Now We Are Seven!!! We're rounding off the May birthdays with our own big celebration. 16th May 2015 we opened our doors and we've never looked back. We've seen so many changes and times have been a tad turbulent just recently but 'what doesn't kill you....' as they say. We owe it all to our excellent beers, excellent staff and excellent clientelle. Join us this Saturday for our Pub of the Year celebration and we'll raise a toast to you all. Chiv's still standing!!

Stockport Gin have consistently produced an excellent range which we've been proud to stock, but their Twist of Lime has been particularly popular. Here's why. Congratulations to all the team Stockport Gin. Well deserved https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/stockport-gin-named-best-britain-23881959 @stockportgin

Another Chiv Birthday Bawl Out. This Beaut has been in it from the start. Rachel has made regular guest appearances behind our bar but has recently been busy building her own little family; holding down a full on, full time job; indulging in a little Am Dram and baking cakes more devine than the Blessed Mary (Berry) herself. Oh and she's created the 'Stitch' behind 'Silly Little Stitch' . She's been busy! And as a sideline she helps us with our social media and website follies!! Have a lovely day Mrs Smith!! (so much more gumption than Angelina Jolie)

Let the Pink Chaos Begin!! The bunting is out and our first Pink Drinks have been declared. Each week of May, we will be selecting pink themed offerings on our bar and giving the profits on those drinks to the Prevent Breast Cancer fund. This week we're donating on our Rose selection and our Red Willow Table Saison Damson. We'll be holding many Pink promotions over May so keep watching our feeds. When you drink, think Pink!! Paint Cheadle Hulme & Bramhall Pink

Happy birthday to this beauty!! She's been shirking bar shifts just recently because she's busy distilling her own little small batch, unique spirit due out this month. Cath is, understandably, avoiding the hard stuff, but if you want to leave one on the slate for her we'll make sure it gets to her after the event (or possibly drink it on her behalf at the Baby Shower 😉). Have a wonderful day, Cath xxx

Today, it's all about THIS girl!! Funny, shouty, a bit sweary 😉 (but there's musicality in her profanity) and with a heart of gold. Add to that Quiz Master par excellence and Chief Graphic Designer in Chalk and you can see why we want to celebrate her today. Happy birthday Lucy, you legend!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB🍻 Once again, the chance to give a huge shout out to this man comes around! The absolute 'Engine Room' of the Chiv, he's the man in the background we'd all be lost without. And this year his birthday has fallen on his favourite day of the week...Beer Buying Day!! He's never happier than when he's hunting through the hundreds of brewery emails he gets to bag the best of the best for our thirsty customers. It's his passion and mission and he never fails. Here are a few photos of Bob doing other happy things.

Happy Day of the #Mum 🌻

We are looking to add to our team. We pride ourselves on our great service and friendly professionalism is at the heart of our ethos. We've a space for 2 - 3 shifts per week (between 12 & 20 hours). If you feel you'd be a good fit behind our bar then drop us in a CV either in person or to bob@thechivertontap.co.uk. Experience is preferred but full training can be given. Good people skills and the ability to keep a smile on your face is a good start. Although we do have some of the loveliest customers.....!! Then hopefully, like us, you'll love what you do!!

Mother's Day drinkies? We'd like to offer our regulars a chance to book a 'Mother Table' this Sunday between 12 and 3pm. A reserved table with no need to move to the bar, table service with a smile and, weather permitting, first dibs at the outside seating. If you're a frequent visitor, just give us a call with details and numbers and we'll get you booked in. A personage in the 'Mother' category being in your party is obviously pretty much essential!! No chaps in their Grandma's bonnets accepted. Just call 0161 485 4149 and ask for the 'MotherTable' treatment.

Let's talk about this Chap. Tall, enigmatic and utterly unflappable - that's our Lewis. And unfortunately for us, he's working his last shift tonight. A career beckons in the world of Graphic Art and he can't contain his talent any longer. Thanks for gracing our bar for the last 8 months Lewis. We've loved having you!!

🇮🇪🇮🇪LIMITED AVAILABILITY 🇮🇪🇮🇪 The countdown is on!! Just two weeks to go to our Beer and Food Pairing with just a hint of the Irish about it. Four stunning small plates of food from the At The Kitchen team, paired with the perfect beer accompaniment, heavenly enough to please St. Patrick himself. Thursday 17th March at 7pm. £25 per head. Shamrocks and Leprechaun costumes optional.......😉

Throughout March we'll be scattering the odd 'Chiv Fun Fact' in our posts. Our first 'Did you know....' takes us straight to the top!! Did you know there are 39 steps up to our top floor (there's a novel in there, somewhere). This does mean that when we have to get something from the top office, that's 78 steps added to the pedometer! No wonder we sometimes look a little flushed when fetching your flagons. Some illustrative pictures for you to 'stair' at

Don't let #Eunice blow out your Friday fun candle! Instead, let her breeze you into our warm bar, for shelter and beery comfort. Or try our new Coconut and Grapefruit gin and get a taste of tropical climes. And we've a full pie fridge in time for Friday Pie Day, pie and a pint deal, on 'til 5pm. So hunker down and ride out the storm at The Chiv.

'A thing of beauty is a joy forever'. Our new branded 1 pint glasses available to buy for just £5.50. Or add to a beer gift pack, branded glass plus 3 specially selected beers, for £21.00. Or make the beers bespoke, and we'll design it to suit your budget.

It's time to share the love - even it it means using the 'V' word. We've plenty of beery gift ideas presented in themed boxes, and unique spirit gift sets. Need advice? Just ask and we'll throw a few ideas together. Bespoke is our forte. And for the really picky punter, we've gift vouchers a plenty.

You'll never be bored with our Beer Board. So much of the good stuff. Spread the word

Utterly heartbroken to have to say goodbye to the original Chiv Dog Legend, Hugo. This epic Retriever, the perfect combination of gentleman and bandit, is now sleeping. Whether stretched across the floor, usually in the most inconvenient place, or perched next to the bar, no regular was immune to his unmissable charm. Gentle and passive, but God help you if you had a pie in your hands!! No highwayman was ever more effective at persuading you to hand over the goods. Stand and Deliver at its canine best. But best of all was his sheer stubborn refusal to leave the pub! We hope it's because he loved us as much as we loved him (but perhaps an element of just wanting to stay warm and comfortable....😉). Sleep well you complete Legend!!

Happy birthday to the lass who has successfully made the move from being 'Not Mary', to being 'Our Kate' 🤣. The sister and her mister could not cope without her hard work, commitment and constant encouragement. Chop her in half, she has Chiv running right through her. That's not a suggestion though, just buying her a drink will suffice... Enjoy your day touring round the City of Bath, Kate. You deserve a blast of a time!!!

Today we lose another of our fabulous team to the world of fame, fortune and media, following on from Harry Chalmers-Morris to LAMDA and Georgia Simpson to ITV Production. We wish our Daniel Hickman all the luck in the world as he starts his career at the BBC as a Production Apprentice. Chances like this are as rare as hen's teeth so this is an amazing opportunity. We could not be more pleased. May all your dreams come true, Dan.

Little reminder. We're on Sleepy Sunday hours for January, open from 1pm to 9 30pm each Sunday of this month. Giving the staff the lie in they deserve!

Here's your update! Longer hours today, huzzah! We are open 2pm - 10.30pm.

Another daily opening hours update for you! (Sadly, no Chris Witty or "next slide please" in our daily updates). Due to ongoing staff isolation, our hours are slightly tweaked for the next few days. Each day, we will let you know what the plan is. Today, Wednesday 5th January, we will be open from 4pm - 8pm. Thanks for your understanding.

OPENING HOURS UPDATE After a cracking Christmas and New Year, we've got our first couple of staff in isolation and it's left us a bit thin on the ground. So, although today we'll be open as planned from 2pm, we hope you understand that we'll be calling time at 8.30pm this evening. We'll be taking it day to day, but we hope to keep the Chiv course steady and keep the beer flowing.

So far, New Year is still on!!! We'll be open til 1am, with the usual fun, games and ultimately a house party sing along ('cause the staff sing like angels). We'll have board games out and packs of cards (suitably quarantined) scattered around. The beer will be flowing and lush, the wine delicious and fruity, the spirits plentiful and the staff...all of the above! And the legendary Toffee Vodka shots at midnight. Stay safe

Well here it is!! And we really hope we can help make it 'Merry Christmas'. Thank you to each and everyone of you. The regulars, the monthly quaffers, the occasional pop ins, the clubs, the groups, the friends, the families. Your support means more than you will ever know!! Happy, happy Christmas xxx

The only announcement this festive season you have been desperate to hear!

****Mashing of a well known saying alert**** Covid is what happens while you are busy making other plans! If your plans change, we understand. We understand that 'Mad Friday' may turn into 'Slightly Peeved Day After Thursday' We know YOU understand that in hospitality we start planning for Christmas from the heady days of Summer. Staff are on shifts. Stock is bought and paid for well in advance ('cause who ever heard of a pub without beer at Christmas). Hours of planning goes into just one evening of Christmassy fun. So...... If you're a large party, give is a call and let us know you won't need the space we've set aside. Consider buying some vouchers. You can't buy a round now but your support in other ways is really appreciated. Have a look online at websites/social media. Do we do gift sets or take out options? Or maybe give yourselves a few days off Dry January and support us through the early days of 2022. Most of all, stay safe. Your local needs you!!

Excellent, excellent night at our Beer and Food Pairing Event last night. Thanks to each of you who joined us. The beers, expertly chosen by Bob, blended superbly with the stunning courses prepared by Angela from At The Kitchen. Missed this one? We'll be hosting again soon in the New Year. In the meantime, have a look at what you could have won..... @atthekitchen5

Magnificent beers ready for tonight's 'Turn Back the Clock' celebration of our March 2020 CAMRA Pub of the Month Award. Back to a simpler time in pubs when masks were worn only as a humorous disguise, when you only socially distanced after the dog had rolled in something nasty and a booster was part of the night out's pre-lash! Join us to celebrate and take the opportunity to buy a ticket for our Christmas Beer and Food Pairing event this Thursday. Very few tickets left.

In partnership with the exceptional At The Kitchen. Four seasonal small plates paired with four beers each chosen to complement the delicious food. This time we've added an option to swap a beer for a suitable wine for one of the courses. At £25 per head we think it's an absolute steal. Our event back in October was a sell out in record time so get in quick! Places are limited and we've had a lot of pre orders on tickets for this. DON'T MISS OUT. CALL 0161 485 4149 TO BOOK YOUR PLACE @atthekitchen5

Excellent night last night. Thanks to all who turned up to Challenge The Chiv. Well done to the one man team 'Jim' who smashed the competition and won several rounds of drinks plus a donation of the proceeds (which we've matched to double the total) to his nominated Charity Millie's Trust @milliestrust A special thanks to Quiz Supremo Lucy, who prepared and hosted for us. You're a Queen!!

We don't require our customers to wear one, as always that's completely down to personal choice. It's not the most comfortable way to work as we all know, so please give our staff the support they need.

Oh What a Night!!! Our Beer & Food Pairing with @atthekitchen5 last night was a roaring success. The melt in the mouth flakiness of the Char Siu Sausage Rolls; the delicately sweet punch of the Thai Fishcakes; the flavour packed into the Pulled Pork Sliders, slow cooked in a liquor of hoppy, tropical beer and the luxurious Tiramisu to finish. All paired with 4 carefully chosen beers from British micro brewers. Thanks so much to all who joined us. The feedback was incredibly positive. Rest assured we WILL be doing more of these. Don't miss out.

Fully functioning Eldiss caravan bar. Fridge, keg chiller, 2 keg lines and 2 cask lines and sink with drainage.

Some initial prep work has been done internally so let your imagination run away with you! Perfect for conversion into a garden bar or ultimate man cave. Currently towable but further maintenance recommended if intended for regular road use. Exact year is unknown, but it is approx the 1980s and a classic. More photos available upon request. Perfect project for the right buyer. £750 ono. Contact Rachel via Facebook, email info@thechivertontap.co.uk or call The Chiverton Tap and ask to speak to Mary or Bob on 0161 485 4149 Read less

A very happy birthday to our Sandra, our Southern Belle, whose warmth and humour have earned her the right to be an honorary Manc. Have a great day 'Sarndrah' and for those of you who can't remember what her cheery smile is like because of mask obliteration, here it is in all its glory. ❤

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, but not quite the new life...yet. We are relaxing a little. Masks are not compulsory. Entirely up to you. Track and Trace will be available, but again, optional. We will be continuing our full table service and bookings (no free standing just yet) but we will also be increasing our seating capacity. We want nothing more than to go back to the simple pleasure of being a pub, but we know a lot of you aren't quite ready for the good old 'cheek by jowl' days just yet.
