Bate Hall Hotel in Cheshire East

Great friendly traditional pub, just like the old days

Amazing food, really quick service. Good prices. Really good atmosphere. Landlady is awesome.

'Open', friendly, warm, relaxed. Cosy.

After a work event in Macclesfield, we couldn’t resist stopping by this historic pub, especially since it was featured on TV as the most haunted pub in the UK. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, both from the landlords and the locals. The drinks were reasonably priced. The highlight of our visit was the private tour the landlord gave us. He took us around the original 16th-century staircase, and told us the stories surrounding the 'Ghosts' that live in the pub. When we reached the upper floor, then leading to the ‘haunted attic,’ it felt truly eerie and otherworldly—definitely added a bit of thrill to the experience! If you’re in the area and curious about the paranormal, it’s a must-visit, but even if you’re not into ghosts, the history and charm of this pub make it worth the stop.

A bit rough but service was good 👍🏻

Very welcoming staff and clientele, very supportive of local LGBTQ community.

Lovely pub but going downhill, stopped karaoke on a Saturday, not got good vibes anymore :(

Amazing food. Friendly staff and a lovey atmosphere

Went here for a Sunday lunch. We were told we had to have 2 courses at least. I wouldn’t feed the mushroom soup to a prisoner of war. As for the roast, I’ve tasted more flavour in a piece of cardboard dipped in tap water. Staff were relatively friendly.

My dad loves it. He's in there most days sitting in the window. Great location. Lovely atmosphere and a car park at the back. Beer garden as well.

Amazing meal today Portions size are amazing for the price homemade good quality food Made to feel very welcome My girls loved ice cream for afters We will be back

Chef cooks brilliant quality food shud be on masterchef Bar manager lovely attentive and helpful as attractive as pop singer pink

Popped in by chance , Had lunch The Bate Burger, it was lush

Amazing staff , atmosphere… home cooked food by the landlady was excellent…. Couldn’t ask for better service… will definitely be returning

Superb atmosphere for all ages. Food is quality. Even the staff are so helpful polite which is rare elsewhere

Excellent quality food and fantastic Sunday Roasts! Great atmosphere, attentive staff and value for money!

Had an amazing evening at the fund raising event the other night for cancer research. Raising £585 so far which is on the up with another raffle added. The grazing table was delicious. Thanks Sue and Dale and all who made it fun and entertaining.

All I'll say is amazing love the place

Fantastic pub, Sue and Dale have really transformed the place!!! It is now a warm, friendly and welcoming place. The food is top notch and plenty to choose from and not to mention to great selection of drinks for all tastes which is not over priced like many places!

Great pub, Suzie and Dale are lovely, really turned the place around! Amazing food and a great atmosphere.

Dale & Sue are fantastic hosts. This pub is so warm & welcoming. Would recommend to all my friends & family.

Landlord really strange . Not sure what planet he originates from . Total numpty

Was looking for a place to have dinner and rest the food was great 👍 and good price like the animals wallpaper and the giant nut

Wedding visit. Bride was well looked after. And also her family and friends

Nice food at a reasonable price. Fantastic history with a resident ghost.

Great new years eve, loved the music, staff helpful and friendly 😀

Called in whilst looking for somewhere to have lunch last week. Very welcoming and friendly. Had sandwiches with chips which were spot on. Would visit again.

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere. The Staff are very friendly and welcoming

Lovely place to have stumbled across on our day out. Very welcoming friendly and informative staff, who went out their way to make us feel valued. nice clean place and lovely tasty, big portions of food. Will definitely be back and recommend to others 👌

Beautiful pub. Lovely setting. Just closed kitchen surprisingly early. Had to go elsewhere to eat.

Went to a friends party the staff were marvellous, some of us had disabilities and they organised ramps for us. Well done to everyone 👏

Great local pub with beautiful food and fantastic service.

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch. Fresh home cooked food and at £13.95 for a two course meal an excellent bargin! Will definitely be back!

Food was amazing the owners were lovely too up the Welsh.

Wish we had a local pub like that.dont live near macclesfield just visiting,but will definitely try this pub again.

Great pub, home cooked pub grub in a great location. Friendly helpful staff and nice relaxed atmosphere. Thanks again 🙂

Great spot. Great staff. Great beers an all-round winner

Love this pub since Sue & Dale have become the landlords. The food is delicious with 100% attention to detail on presentation. Friendly atmosphere with lovely bar staff and a nice selection of draft beers and wines with always some kind of entertainment on over the weekends.

The service was friendly and the food was superb. I couldn't fault anything. I would highly recommend going to The Bate Hall for food or for a drink if that's all you want.

Lovely to see this beautiful old pub being well looked after again!

6 friends booked in for lunch and we couldn't have been more pleased Food was excellent , piping hot, well presented . There is an adequate menu for choice and a specials board. We found the service very friendly and accommodating. Made to feel very welcome Definitely recommend Ps. We went through the pub to sit in an adequate dining room at the back. .

Hmmmm, it's OK, but very dated.

Awesome,nice people,clean pub great outdoor space I'm so comfortable here this is my go to when I need to binge fest,I'm a lush & where better to be one?.

Popped in the other day for some food and a drink with friends. It’s been taken over by new management and it was amazing. Great food and service and a lovely environment. So much improved. We will be back. Well done.

Much, much better under the new management. Good food and service, very clean and a nice beer garden.

Great food great atmosphere and amazing company

Asked for menu. Had to go and find one. Then tried to get the attention of 3 members of staff and was ignored. No one seemed to be managing. It was the day of the treacle market so was a little busy but they were not overwhelmed.

Superb decor, new managers have created a wonderful environment. Extremely tasty food, fab entertainment. Seeped in history and wonderful pictures, this pub should soar.

This place has changed in many good ways. Instead of filthy windows they now shine. The whole place looks like a very different pub.

Lovely lil pub great beer and gins . Every time I've been in there its not been packed and i like that to be honest. Could do with new furniture and maybe some better and louder music but anyway i would go again. I did ask for food but thwy said they was not serving it anymore . But hey good drinks so who cares .

A dirty hole. Landlord is very rude. Just have to wait and see what new landlord brings to the bate

I love coming here,every time I come to Macclesfield I always have to come in here, always friendly and really welcoming.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and pets welcomed

Lovely place, just don’t be put off from the outside, the drinks are good and the owners are really friendly

Dubious jukebox. No ghosts. Cherry cider was booooomin tho

This could be a nice pub but it needs a good clean and new furniture at least better still a refurb it used to be a very busy pub it still should be

Friendly staff and not too expensive, however needs a lick of paint and new toilets

nice change out for a pint nice staff call again thanks .

Very efficient service and nice.little beer garden great prices and good drinks

Lovely place to have a drink and something nice to eat xx

Awful pub, awful landlord. Customers ok and young girl behind the bar very good.

Historical pub in Macclesfield, warm & welcoming!

Could do with a good cleaning and toilets all so.

Really nice only went for a drink but really nice and reasonable prices

Didnt appeal to me but very good location

Cheap drinks and food 12.30pm till 4pm what's not to like.

Cheap... But not cheerful. Food very low grade

Good beer, good food. Bit slow on order.

Great pub and drinks ok priced. Just need to sort the music out! It Was abit like a library at times 🤫🤣

Lovely old pub , food was served quick cajun chicken was very good as was scampi , cosy atmosphere and dog friendly.

It was fantastic, the girls were brilliant and the food to die for, would go there again in a heartbeat. Cant recommend it enough.

Cracking old pub in Macclesfield town centre

A historic pub full of character and great beer

Bit run down and moody, could do with a lick of paint and J cloth

Perhaps the oldest pub in Macclesfield! Worth to visit. They have good beers!

Apparently Bonny Prince Charlie stayed there on his way back to France ,,it's got a reputation for the most haunted pub in Macclesfield.

Nice beer garden and good price

A bit of a grubby place, a good clean wouldn't go amiss. But the beer was good

Amazing pub, extremely clean including the toilets, quick to bring menus, quick to take orders and fast service of the food, loads to choose from and cheap to boot, for 2 of us we had Fish and Chips, Chicken Tikka Masala, 2 Cappuccinos and a large diet Coke and came to about £17 dosent get much better value for money than that most recommended.

Very clean nice staff owner has great sense of humour

A busy pub fairly priced.Pleasant enough staff.Very few Gammon when we were there

Excellent food. Very welcoming staff. Warm homely atmosphere.

It's OK but something feels like it's missing

Friendly place, food excellent and fast service.

Great pub excellent staff, prices and food really good. Recommend to anyone and good for all kinds of functions.

Rough and ready town pub. The ale is badly kept and tastes metallic, whilst the staff and regular barflies can be distinctly unfriendly to unfamiliar faces. Avoid.

Really friendly pub nice atmosphere and nice polite bar staff

A lovely pub with a lovely friendly atmosphere!!!!

Friendly staff and quality ales.

Friendly Nice People Great Service

Needs to extend its food service times

Great wee pub. Friendly punters and staff

Nice place gardens at back lovely

Love the Bate Hall. Proper old pub with cheap beer and food which is very well cooked. Just had lunch and we will be back again soon.

Lovely local with a warm atmosphere and friendly bar staff - particularly Gem 😉 Food and service is good

Great Warm cosy and friendly character pub and eatery. Very historic. Oldest pub in the area. Featured on Britain's most haunted. Great ales and warm welcoming atmosphere.

One of the most haunted pubs in Britain, this 1600's coaching house has friendly staff and clients, good selection of drinks and serve food between 12 and 2 worth a visit. Great outdoor space in summer it is in town centre so don't expect great views

Good for lunch - decent food, served quickly, and on hot plates! Very reasonably priced

Always friendly good beer they look after there customers 👍👍👍

Cheap drinks and central location
