bod Alsager in Cheshire East

I like Bod, nice decor, decent pint and a chilled atmosphere, just a shame about the constantly lethargic service. Having visited a number of times now it never seems to improve and is the reason we don't visit more. I have literally stood at the bar whilst the young staff stand chatting for several minutes until i actually asked if they were going to serve me. Very frustrating and unnecessary. Sort this aspect out and it would be a great place to go.

Went to the quiz night which was fun. Good atmosphere and pleasant surroundings.

We go for the quiz, they also do a great selection of beers, fresh pizza, huge sausage rolls, posh pork pies and other things. Nice atmosphere.

Not a massive selection of beers, food is decent

Great selection of drinks, staff really friendly and nice to stand outside in the beer garden

Absolutely lovely food, lovely atmosphere, and all of the staff are lovely, except one, who ruined my coffee by inscribing the acronyms COYG. an insult to me, a Tottenham fan. fire him immediately (jk, don’t, he’s lovely too)

Great place, we visit whenever we're in town. Sensible prices for quality food and drink. Good aesthetics and atmosphere.

Went for breakfast and was absolutely brilliant. Good size coffee, good size portions and brilliant service. Was impressed after a busy busy morning was advised a long wait, but staff were quick and no drop in quality. Very very happy!!

Superb atmosphere and service but needs more choice of food

Really like Bod. Inside it's got a good atmosphere. And they serve a good pint. My lads like the Little Bod Milkshakes and Hot chocolates and they're not a rip off. Eaten in there twice now and been good both times. Just a shame the front doesn't get much sun and there's no seats out the back.

We went for a lunch as a family. Food and drinks were really good and not bad value.

Pity the staff attitude doesn’t reflect the decor… rude and unprofessional

Nice tasting food and a brilliant service And a nice place in general

Really good pub with Titanic ales and live music.

First visit here, enjoyed the breakfast. Would eat here again.

Very doggie friendly 👍 Very welcoming staff 👍

Lovely place to enjoy a breajfast break.👍👍

Food was excellent, all perfectly cooked. Service was swift and friendly.

First time visiting BOD in Alsager this morning and I was very impressed! The venue was clean, nicely decorated and had a great relaxing and friendly atmosphere. The staff were really friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We ordered from the breakfast menu and I had the gluten free BOD breakfast and a large americano. There's a great selection of both food and drinks (alcoholic, locally sourced and non-alcoholic) and the prices are great given the quality. The food was fresh, tasty and they source their produce locally which is always a plus for me and it showed through the taste and quality of the food, no frozen muck here! 🙌 The coffee was also locally sourced, fresh and high quality unlike some of the better known chains 👀 Some helpful notes: 🐕 The venue is dog friendly (paws on the floor) 🚗 There's a free car park around the back. ⚠️ There's lots of gluten and dairy free options. ☀️ Lovely outdoor seating area at the front. ♿ There's accessible parking and ramp access. 🎙️ They have live music on Friday nights. A great time was had and although it's not on my doorstep, I'll be visiting more often as it's well worth it's really close to a great selection of small independent and charity shops.

Very good food, good choice Excellent cakes Titanic ales, very good

Popped in for a coffee after visiting locals shops. Always a lovely vibe and nice coffee

The usual pleasant relaxing ambience prevailed in Bod Alsager.

Great place to come and have some delicious food, cakes or just a coffee. Friendly staff. Cozy place and great location. The food was excellent and they have vegan options 🌱🙌🏻 We had the vegan club sandwich which was a great sized portion. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Located in a lovely old building bod is a pleasant enough experience. Classic British brunch menu items along with modern favourites. Coffee is okay but it is quite strong but the focus here is the food and alcoholic drinks.

Super friendly and lovely place to have a nice coffee. We loved it that they have vegan options - a small pleasure and glad to see some vegan cake too! Will definitely be coming back here

Lovely food and a lovely atmosphere, lots of menu variety! We went for breakfast but they do food throughout the day, aswell as alcoholic drinks and more

Always been impressed with the food and service. The kids especially enjoyed the breakfast, pancakes and waffles were a big hit. Would certainly recommend for a quick and easy meal, or an enjoyable drink for later in the day

We went for breakfast this morning, delighted that they were dog friendly. I had the eggs Benedict with spinach and smoked salmon on a toasted muffin, it was very good, my son had the full English which consisted of, sausage, bacon, beans, egg, mushrooms, tomato and toast which he also enjoyed. We both had a good cup of tea too. The staff were friendly and, although there were a few people already there, we didn't have to wait long. My son bought 2 of the rather exotic and delicious looking cakes to take for work, although expensive, they looked wonderful. We had a very pleasant visit, thank you.

Lovely interior lovely staff. The menu is limited but very well presented and very tasty. I had a lovely banana milkshake, which I'm going to have next time we go. I'm off the beer so couldn't try Titanic Brewery's finest but it looked fantastic. There were three of us and a baby and it all came to £27.00. I know I've said lovely a lot but it is, I can't wait to go again. Just an ad-on went again today (16/2/24) the food was nice but a bit expensive the only thing was the disabled toilets were in a state and the tables didn't get cleared very quickly. The seat in the toilet wouldn't flush and the lock was dodgy. Its almost as if they're not keeping up with the maintenance and if they want the name, they need to spend the money.

Staff need training. Comment when given a cup of tea. Who's ordered the posh tea then. 2nd time tryed this place gave it benifit of the doubt when first opened. Not again wont go back.

Called in for early breakfast. Great service from smiling, happy, professional staff. The cooked breakfast was first class. Top quality ingredients cooked and served beautifully. Great atmosphere.....all sorts of people, families, older generation (me included) and people having business meetings. Highly recommended.

One of the girls could have been a bit more pleasant that's the only reason for 4 stars

Lovely atmosphere, great staff. Lovely food. Nice location and exterior.

Lovely staff always feel welcome very well recomended. Great food, if you want a hearty breakfast this is the place to go

Nice comfortable open plan seating area. Dog friendly cafe n bar serving food. I had Bod breakfast very good size.

Lovely breakfast at Bod. We took our little dachshund and had great service, drinks and food.

Lovely atmosphere,nice drinks and staff

Brilliant place, first visit for brunch with my daughter's. , really impressed 👍 nice food, good choice on the menu & quick service. Recommended 5*

Thank you so much for this morning’s experience for my wife’s birthday breakfast 👍🏻 I can not thank the staff enough and keep up the fantastic work 👍🏻

Love this place, food is fantastic and the service is 5 star

Great place for food and drink. Nice relaxes atmosphere and friendly staff

Fantastic place . Great drinks and food is lovely Live acoustic entertainment also on and the guy was amazing.

Popped in for a drink and ended up with half a pork pie with chutney aswell which was yummy. Nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.

We had a fantastic breakfast and a beautiful oat cappuccino each. We will be coming back again very soon. 👍

Lots of space inside. Really good value for money on the food with decent sized portions. Service was spot on.

Nice relaxing cafe bar, good food and drinks. Staff always lovely

Flat atmosphere, uncomfortable, expensive for what it is, we had "Macaroni cheese" tasteless and stodgy no cheese, only good thing about this place, can bring kids and dogs in

A nice little cafe. Food was limited due to staff absence so not much choice but the food we did have was nice although a little salty. Service was good, the atmosphere was nice.

I went into Bod for the first time on 22 July with two of my friends and thought it is lovely inside however, we were really shocked that at 10:18pm the staff announced last orders and at 10:30pm were told that they will be closing at 11pm only to be told again at 10:55pm that they are closing in 5 min! There were people turned away before 11pm too. Shocking! The place had no atmosphere which was not surprising given the staff’s attitudes. I would seriously have someone from headquarters do a undercover boss visit.

Met my son for coffee which we often do on a Sat lunchtime. Very spacious and airy interior. Well furnished with contemporary decor. Not tried any food yet. Staff were lovely and the young lady brought my coffee over to our table. Helpful as I walk with a stick. Handy parking behind for 8-10 cars. Nice conservatory area off main building. I remember when this gorgeous period Georgian / Edwardian red brick building was a local solicitor's office. Externals of the building have retained all the original character. Thoughtful addition of a very shallow inclined access ramp means wheelchair and pushchair customers can get in with ease.

A nice place for a snack beers are Titanic brewery so pretty standard for craft lovers it's a pleasant place.

Incredibly Rude Staff. We visited Bod in Alsager on the evening of Wednesday 21st June. My daughter had passed her driving test on the Monday and also passed her 2nd year Uni exams on the Wednesday, so we celebrated by going for a meal and then afterwards called into the Bod for a drink. My daughter and husband went to the bar and I went to get a table outside. We had probably had one sip of our drinks when we were approached by a blonde staff member who demanded quite aggressively for ID for my daughter who is 19. My daughter reached to get her ID and then remembered that her provisional licence had been returned in order for her full licence to be issued. We explained this to the blonde member of staff and she instructed my daughter not to touch her drink as she was under age. I informed her that I had a photo on my phone of the provisional license and also a photo of her passport. My daughter also had her student ID card displaying her date of birth but she declined to look at any of them stating that she would only accept a hard copy driving licence. She then reiterated that she was not to touch the drink and she returned to the bar. My husband and I took my daughter’s full drink to the bar and asked for a refund. The young girl who served my daughter and husband had actually served my daughter on the previous Saturday with the same drink, a cider and they had actually had a discussion about the pronunciation of ‘mout’ cider. This said member of staff then actually lied and said she thought the cider was for me, which didn’t make any sense as I had a Prosecco, so that’s still 3 alcoholic drinks. The blonde still refused to refund the cost of the cider again stating that ‘she is under age’. I again asked her to look at the photos or the student ID card and again she refused. I understand that bars have licensing laws and had she been asked for ID at the bar prior to being served and they had not accepted the forms of ID that would have been fine if they refused to serve us and we could have gone elsewhere but to let us pay for a round of drinks and then come and tell us that she was not to consume the drink is unacceptable and this is where some common sense and discretion should have prevailed. The blonde then told us we were not welcome and to leave. This really put a downer on our evening, 2 middle aged people having a drink with there daughter to be treated like this is unbelievable. It wasn’t as though she was out with a rowdy gang. We are regular visitors to the Bod with friends and family but they have most definitely lost our and our friends business. The Bod should be taking responsibility to educate and train their staff.

It is a lovely place, the decor is great with a nice outdoor seating area the only thing that let's this place down is the food, I ordered the peach pistachio and goats cheese salad, it was salad out of a packet with tinned peaches and a few pistachio thrown on top, the dressing was bland and tasteless and this cost £10, the ploughman's lunch my partner had wasn't any better either, such a shame.

A really good place for some food and drink. Indoor and outdoor seating with great capacity for larger groups. No need to book, just walked straight in. Excellent coffee and milkshake selection with a bar area if you’re fancying a drink. Frappuccino was ace!

I ordered 2 breakfasts but only one arrived at the table so I left hungry .My other half's food was only average and place was very noisy full of inconsiderate people . I witnessed a dog allowed to put its feet on the table . Staff wasn't very welcoming and definitely not paying attention to what is being ordered . Prices above average for quality and location . So overall no , thank you.

Nice and clean. Very approachable and friendly staff.

Lovely place nice pub with a great atmosphere

Had breakfast this morning scrambled eggs on toast absolutely disgusting eggs rubbery and inedible left them they were either left that long as a long wait considering not many in but truly believe they were microwaved service pretty naff too ever going back been 3 times and 2 out of 3 horrendous

Good beer,good ambience and a relaxing atmospheres

Didn't eat. Staff were great. Atmosphere slightly lacking.

Nice place, friendly staff. Don't buy the morrocan mint tea though. Whatever supplier they get this from doesn't know teas.

Great foot and ambience - coffee or beer a great place to go and doggie can join too

Great dog friendly cafe bar. Great food and service.

A spacious, relaxed, family friendly, bar in Alsager. One of a number of Bod bars owned and supplied by the Titanic brewery. So, a great selection of beer is guaranteed along with a selection of wines, spirits, cocktails, non alcoholic choices, tea and coffee. Food is also available.

In between a long walk with our dogs, we stopped in for a drink and snacks. It was fab, really well presented and a warm reception from the staff. Would recommend if anyone fancies it and the decor was bespoke and attractive..!! Will be popping in again, soon..

Visited a week ago for breakfast and coffee, both were lovely and the venue itself is great.

Plumb porter beer by Titanic is the main attraction. Food mehhh, when available.

Visit regularly for coffee and cake with the kids but 6 of us came in today for the Santa brunch. Staff were fab, food and drinks were served quickly and were delicious (although had to prompt for the berries with the pancakes) - the breakfast burrito was brilliant. All of us had a fantastic time thanks to the great staff, food and atmosphere - not to mention a special visit by the main man 🎅

Friendly staff, great choice of drinks and real ale good atmosphere. A little bit loud but it was an extra busy night.

Great for a beer and catch up. This is a proper bar, good selection of drinks, some great bar snacks with good service. No tv's, no loud music just a good all round bar.

Lovely place we'll worth a visit

Very good pint, at least 4 hand pulled beers on draft. Service can be a bit slow if staff split between coffee/food counter and bar for drinks

Really nice pub. Great place for breakfast.

Lovely food and lovely atmosphere! Great variety of food. Lipstick on the glass but not a problem, just got another drink in a clean glass.

Been a few times for various different occasions. Interior and building is fab, with a modern feel, coffee is average in honesty, beer is very nice with plenty to choose from. Food has been good every time but comes across a bit pricey on some options, my only gripe is the staff can differ from day to day, meaning a great service one time and a bit lacklustre. Overall good experience

Lovely atmosphere Coffee and cakes really good Staff very friendly and helpful

I love titanic brewery and I love the bod franchise but the alsager one is a joke….. some of the staff just don’t have a clue. I went in today and ordered a sausage rolll, I waited 30 minutes and after hearing the kitchen bell 4 times stating food ready which was obviously mine as their was hardly anyone in but it still didn’t arrive so I asked staff and they weren’t bothered and walked off three times…. I eventually asked a young man and stated I’d been waiting ages and asked three times previously and I could see my food on the kitchen preparation table and the young lad grabbed it for me. This is the third time I’ve ordered food from the alager BOD and it’s been a joke every time and I think it’s the bar staff more than the kitchen… certain ones just don’t look interested. The most annoying thing is that I’ve been to three other BOD’s and they are fab so this one being poor in a disappointment

The place itself was fine could have had a few more beers to choose from but the ones that were on offer were OK. Disappointed with a purchase, a pork pie was priced at £4.50, I thought I was getting a whole pork pie, I asked them to cut it into four pieces. When I received the pie it was in four pieces but it was only half the pie, I complained but was told that £4.50 was for 1/2 a pie, I told them that their point of sale sign was wrong and needed to be changed. I have not been back to check if it's changed.

Not great. Drinks were good and nice interior but food was pretty poor - we had sandwiches which barely had any filling. Service was also pretty bad - very slow and lots of tables left uncleared for almost an hour. Background music would also add to the atmosphere!

Just had drinks, good atmosphere

Disappointing first visit to the new Bod in Alsager. Staff don't seem to understand their own table plan - I watched my coffee sit on the bar for a few minutes before a grumpy waitress took it for a lap of the building before it finally arrived at my table, cold and half of it in the saucer. I was then given a napkin to mop it up myself. On a positive note, Titanic have breathed new life into an old empty building which ought to be a great space to socialise and unwind with quality fare. Unfortunately, on this occasion I left wound up - I cannot bear sloppy service, there is no need for it.

Friendly staff, great food. Really enjoyed our visit

Top venue, amazing combination of cafe, restaurant and pub with 6 different Titanic pumps available!!

I've called in a couple of times for breakfast now and my experience does contrast with some of the reviews on here, which I can only put down to initial teething issues. On both occasions my breakfast was delicious and well-cooked, particularly the scrambled egg, which can be an easy thing to get wrong. The sausages, in particular, are good quality and tasty. The coffees I purchased were reasonably priced and had a pleasant flavour. Service was relatively swift, and the staff I encountered were helpful and polite. The building itself was clean and airy, and there was a nice ambience.

From walking through the door and being totally ignored/ snubbed by the two staff working at the bar, my experience in this establishment was beyond terrible. When placing my order I was asked what table I was sat at. I tried to describe and was the made to feel stupid for my description. I asked if there were table numbers to be told - no (and all the staff found this stupid and confusing too). The server then bought out a map of the seating plan and asked my to locate my table off this. Helpful. I was made to stand waiting for my order at the bar whilst other customers had it taken to their table. I had been there the week before so I knew this wasn’t normal. My sausage sandwich was dumped on my table by the same grumpy lady that served me at the bar before she slowly walked away. I had to ask for a knife and fork, which she slammed down on her return. Food very average, service beyond a joke. Don’t waste your money or time.

Disappointed by the very limited choice of cakes to go with coffee and no extra cushions available. Good pot of tea. Very slow but friendly service. Nicely decorated. Early days so time to improve.

Lovely coffee and panini in great surroundings. Quick service too.

Absolutely fab atmosphere. We had food which was great

Really good coffee! Nice staff. Decent venue. 😀

Friendly staff, and tasty food. The Frappes are to die for.

I called in for a coffee with a friend after our walk and was disappointed with the service. The staff seemed disinterested and were not very welcoming. One coffee was lukewarm the other mainly froth and more expensive than other coffee shops. There were no loyalty cards available, three weeks after opening, which is not a problem as I'm unlikely to return. They need to realise that there are plenty of other well established places to eat and drink in Alsager with better customer service. Nice decor and good location, but they need to sort out these issues.

Very nice food, especially Panini! Thank you xx

Popped in for drinks professionally as part of their opening event. Beautiful venue and a good choice of Titanic and Guest Ales. Look forward to popping back when I'm next in the area.

Lovley place, really well decorated, food wait was 25mins. Average bill for 2 people £23. Felt warm and inviting, very modern. Only constructive criticism is the staff were not very smiley and happy, they are still getting on there feet so hopefully they will encorporate this for future.

Went today for lunch and drinks and with my husband and son. My son wanted a breakfast but they were not serving a they had too many lunch orders at 12.30pm (menu said served till 2pm) we ordered a ploughman’s it was terrible no bread, no pork pie salad was limp and soggy. I asked to speak to the manger he offers a free drink refused and gave him the food back and asked for a refund. Shocking service very unorganised. Will not be returning

We ordered our food at 13:04 told there would be an hour wait due to high demand. This was fine but at 14:19 we had still Not received our food. I was told our food ticket had not printed off in the kitchen. I had to ask for my refund, which o was given in cash. Not offered any compensations or free drinks. We ended up going back to our regular haunt at Ey Up Duck. Good for drinks as the Plum Porter is award winning. Stay clear of the food!

Very slow service and badly prepared for a bank holiday. Customers were walking out as they had been queuing up for that long, numerous items from the breakfast and brunch menu (which should be available until 2pm) were unavailable at 12pm. My panini was cold, sausage sandwich was very disappointing as it was cheap bread and not even buttered. Suggestion - put numbers on the tables as various orders were going to incorrect customers.

Place seemed nicely renovated and seating was good. Food was poorly made and presented, and took over an hour to serve sandwiches, dry undressed salad leaves and raw garlic bread (untoasted bread with butter and garlic paste squirted on top). Would return for a drink but not for food. Appreciate that it’s a new venture but, it’s one of seven bods in total so it really should hit the ground running smoothly, as they’ve done it all before. Shame, but it was really badly done basic cafe food.

Lovely place, only just opened, so of course there will be teething problems. Staff super friendly, atmosphere is great! I'd take the more negative reviews with a pinch of salt. Will definitely be back again xx

Not awful, but not great. Visited last night for drinks, and this morning for breakfast. Last night was nice - there's a great atmosphere, drinks are reasonably priced and felt very clean/tidy. Service was a little slow, but that's to be expected. This morning however, asked for an English Breakfast to be told there's no sausages for another hour, so we'd have to either have more bacon or black pudding. Fine, it's likely the delivery hadn't come yet. We then ordered milkshakes, to be told there's no straws, but we could have a spoon instead. Not sure how they can serve milkshakes with no straws. Won't be returning for food, but will return for an evening for drinks.
