A little about The Merlin
The Merlin Inn is a stylish, contemporary pub, bar and restaurant serving delicious pub food as well as a fine selection of drinks in great surroundings.
Our unique dining space is perfectly equipped to accommodate parties of all sizes, from romantic meals for two through to large celebrations. In the summer months, visitors enjoy our huge beer garden, allowing them to drink, dine, and socialise alfresco under the summer sun.
We offer an extensive seasonal menu created by our highly talented team of chefs. From salads, sharers, and sandwiches, through to classic mains, pizzas, and pastas, there’s something for everyone.
If you’re visiting us for an extended stay, we also offer 11 comfortable, modern rooms within the Innkeeper’s Lodge. All of our rooms are en-suite and come complete with complimentary hot drinks, flat screen TVs with Freeview, and free WiFi.
We also offer a meeting and function room that’s perfect for conferences, corporate events, and business meetings.

The Merlin is located in between Alderly Edge and Wilmslow on the Wilmslow Road. Located just off the main road, we’re nice and easy to find, just 12 miles from the centre of Manchester. With our on-site car park, you’re sure to find a parking space close by.
If you’re travelling by train, you’ll find stations in both Alderley Edge and Wilmslow.
Join us and enjoy our magnificent interiors and a fabulous outdoor dining space that’s perfect for alfresco dining.
Keeping Busy in Alderley Edge
The Merlin is surrounded by dramatic landscape, impressive views, and ancient copper mines. Alderly Edge is built upon a sandstone escarpment overlooking the Cheshire Plain, which is ideal for walkers. Explore the numerous picturesque routes and then pop into The Merlin for a well-earned re-fuel.
Quarry Bank Mill is also close by. One of the greatest industrial heritage sites in Britain, Quarry Bank Mill is one of the best-preserved textile mills of the industrial revolution. Today, you can explore the Mill and the Styal estate.
If you’re just a passing through, once you’ve sampled the tempting delights on our seasonal menu, you might be lucky enough to catch the monthly Alderley Edge Farmer’s market where you’ll be able to pick up some delicious fresh produce.
