Platform 5
About
Platform 5, now proudly renamed The Station House, is a family‑run pub that marries the nostalgic charm of a 1930s rail station with modern culinary delights. Nestled on 47 Station Road in Cheadle Hulme, the venue boasts a grand brass‑and‑marble bar, plush leather booths, and a spacious beer garden overlooking the train station. Guests can indulge in a full house‑food menu Monday‑Saturday, a traditional Sunday roast, and all‑day barista coffee – all served in a setting that feels like stepping back into the golden age of steam. With a relaxed booking policy that welcomes parties of two and up from midday, the pub offers an inviting atmosphere for casual drinks, family gatherings, or a landmark stop for travelers heading to Manchester.
