Academy in Cheshire East

Great atmosphere,friendly pub,food home cooked and was delicious. Prices very reasonable. Will certainly go again.

Reliable excellence. This is genuinely really good.

My all time favourite Macclesfield cafe! A warm welcome and great food promptly served with a smile. English and more Mediterranean breakfasts and super fresh salads. The vegetarian meze box to take away is delicious !

Came across Chestnut Meats while searching to buy some kid for Easter as my local butchers were extremely unhelpful. The service I received from ordering to delivery was faultless. They were happy to discuss over the phone my particular butchery requirements and the kid was delivered today and it was exactly as I had asked. Excellent looking meat and I can’t wait to prep and cook it this Easter Sunday. I’ll definitely be ordering more!

Awful experience in here yesterday. With in 10 seconds of trying to order a drink I was made to feel about 2" tall. I asked the barman if he had any gluten free beers on draft and he bluntly said no. No alternatives offered or anything, he then abruply pointed me to the half empty fridge where he said there might be a gluten free beer in. I asked if he knew what beers are gluten free in the fridge to which he replied "I don't know you will have to look through them all." He then proceeded to try and look over me to the person behind to try and serve them. The level of service was diabolical and as a venue offering food and drinks it is expected that your staff know what they are selling and what allergens are in the products you are selling. I would not trust this venue again and would not recommend anyone with an allergy goes here. It is certainly not a coeliac friendly venue and they don't care. After having a bottle of cider we decided to leave and go elsewhere. Said barman was coming in from the outside and not even a thank you have a good day or anything, it was clear we where leaving as all four of us walked towards the exit. The other barman behind the bar equally didn't even say thanks or anything. Having worked in bars and restaurants myself the level of service was shocking. I know that you will probably come back and say oh sorry about this we had been busy, but in all honesty it wasn't that busy and there is no excuse for letting service slip to such a shoddy standard especially when it comes to things like allergens. You are selling products to people you should know your product and actively want to sell it, not think "oh this person has an allergen we don't want them here" or "oh they are an inconvenience I'll give them bad service" at a time where budgets are squeezed and business is struggling you would think every customer counts... Not here. Upon leaving we went to the beer emporium where the staff where more than happy to go and get the gluten free options out of the fridge and talk me through them. This is how it should be done. Again I do not recommend this place if you have allergies and I won't be returning. It is one of the most unfriendly places to visit with an allergy I have ever been to.
