Welcome to "The Roaring Meg" website , the online presence for the popular Biddulph Pub. Between 1991 and October 2003 the pub was called "The Pennine Tavern" and this site was constructed for the locals as a way to share photo's, keep everyone up-to-date with the latest news.

The Roaring Meg or "The Meg" as it is known to it's locals is situated in Biddulph, a small town on the Staffordshire-Cheshire Border. As you can see from the photograph above, it is one of the most unique looking (or should that be 'wierd looking') pubs you are likely to find in the country.

 
   

Built in 1974 the Meg prides itself on its friendly atmosphere and community spirit. In 1991, the pub was refurbished and changed its name to The Pennine Tavern. In the Autumn of 2003, its name was reverted back to the original "Roaring Meg" - named after the cannon that was used at Congleton Edge in the attack against Biddulph Old Hall in the English Civil War.

The pub is open daily from 12pm through to 11pm Sunday-Thursday, and 12pm - 12am on Friday & Saturday. An excellent selection of food and bar snacks are available between the hours of 12pm - 6pm Thursday-Sunday. O.A.P. discount is available on selected items. We also serve a fantastic selection of wines, and guest ales.

 

The Roaring Meg is ran by Carl & Janet Mottershead. This is their first pub & they took over in early 2008, but have already become a popular success hosting many popular Theme nights! Forget Wetherspoons, why not come to a pub with entertainment, personality and music.

In the summer why not come along and enjoy a pint in our beer garden (ok I know its just a bit of grass with some benches dotted around it, but I'm trying to sell the pub here) or if you're into football, the Tavern has not one but two large screen TVs, 3 TV's behind the bar, and is the best pub in the town to watch the football action. Its now possible to show 3 separate football matches or sporting events at the same time. Monday Night is host to the infamous General Knowledge and Music Quiz hosted by Ecke.

The pub has one of the most unique atmospheres you'll ever find, and is famed for all of its themed nights and events. Over the last few years we've had Bucking Bronco's, Hot Tub Days, Elvis nights, & a snow machine in the pub, just to name a few. The regulars also get involved in helping charities and have raised thousands for good causes. The barmaids all posed in a 'Calendar Girls' style calendar to raise money for Breast cancer, and the lads took part in a charity waxing. To find out more about the good cause's we've supported then check out the News page.

The Meg now has 2 pub darts teams, a pool team, 2 football teams, 2 crib teams, and a quiz team in the Staffordshire Leagues. This season the quiz team won not only the league but also the knockout cup!

There is also a wide range of bar games, including Pool, Darts, Domino's, a fruit machine and an online quiz machine. You can find people playing Poker or Cribbage in the pub as well most nights of the week.

If you've never been to the pub before then why not pay us a visit one night. After seeing this website we have had people from as far as London coming up for a pint (This is no joke).
