About The Merlin
Our 19th-century inn on Wilmslow Road has been hosting celebrations for generations, and we've perfected the art of throwing a good party. The Merlin sits right between Alderley Edge and Wilmslow, just 12 miles from central Manchester, making it easy for your guests to find us. When you book our function room for your event, you're getting more than just four walls. We've carefully refurbished the space to keep its original character while adding all the modern touches your party needs. The room works brilliantly for birthday celebrations, family gatherings, anniversaries, or any social event where you want your guests to feel comfortable and well-looked-after. Our kitchen team prepares everything fresh, and we can work with you to create a menu that suits your event perfectly. Whether you're after substantial mains, sharing platters, pizzas, or lighter options, we've got you covered. The bar is fully stocked with craft beers, real ales, proper ciders, cocktails, and a wine list we're particularly proud of. During summer parties, guests naturally spill out onto our beer garden and terrace – there's plenty of room for everyone to mingle with a drink in hand. We've been running events here long enough to know what makes them work. The space has a relaxed pub atmosphere that puts people at ease, but we've added thoughtful design touches that make it feel special for your occasion. If some guests are traveling from further afield, we have 12 en-suite rooms upstairs, each with Hypnos beds, flat-screen TVs, and complimentary WiFi. Being a proper pub at heart, we understand that the best parties happen when everyone feels welcome and well-fed. Our team will work with you to ensure your event runs smoothly from start to finish.
