Old Hall Hotel, Sandbach

The Old Hall Hotel is a public house and restaurant in High Street, Sandbach, Cheshire, England.

In 2010 the building was bought by Brunning and Price, a subsidiary of the Restaurant Group, who repaired and restored it.

[1] The first phase of the building was rectangular, and was constructed in oak timber framing with wattle and daub infill.

[2] In the 19th century the hotel was part of the Crewe estate, and it was extended again, this time adding a carriage arch to the right wing.

[3] During the Second World War the hotel was used to house American officers, who were visited here by General Patton.

Both the original part to the right, and the later addition to the left, which protrudes and is in a similar style, have two gables and are symmetrical.

[3][8] The left wing has a central entrance that leads to a corridor to an original oak baluster staircase at the rear, with two rooms on each side.

In these rooms are three Jacobean fireplaces, 17th-century oak panelling, a left-handed spiral staircase, and a priest's hole.
