Davenport Arms - Woodfood Stockport
Welcome to the Davenport Arms, known locally as the Thief's Neck. We serve up great food and live Sky Sport and BT Sports. Come and enjoy both together, with a pint or two of Robinsons ales.
Once part of the famed Capesthorne Estate – dates back to the 18th Century in which the Davenport family were the game wardens to the King’s hunting preserves.
As hereditary foresters of the King, the Davenports had the authorised power to put poachers to death without trial. Hence, the crest of the Davenport coat of arms originally was a serf’s head with a rope around its neck, signifying that the Davenports had the power to hang without appeal to the King
This same crest can still be seen today from the pub’s pictorial. The legend has it that the tree which stands outside the Davenport Arms was used to hang wrongdoers, hence the nickname ‘The Thief's Neck’ – let us hope that any lager louts stay on their best behaviour!
