Bridge Hotel Restaurant in Cheshire East

Not reviewed for years and always had a positive experience so here goes. Called in for pre dinner drinks last week. Lovely ambience as always. Served by a young chap, very friendly. Also, he made an excellent couple of Aperols in the happy hour, which we appreciated. Sat outside at the back, possibly the best 'beer garden' in the Macclesfield area. Big umbrellas with heaters, unfortunately required in mid August.

We attended for a taster menu for our forthcoming wedding and Cherrisa who looked after us was so professional and helpful with the menu, a fabulous evening! Thank you

We really enjoyed our impromptu family visit on Saturday 6th April. We were superbly looked after by Karan whose attention to detail and allround customer service was very impressive. He knew how to keep customers happy! We will be back soon! Thank you Karan.

We couldn’t get into the Legh Arms today, so have just been to the Bridge for Sunday lunch. Can’t fault the food or the service, but the people on the table next to us had a dog with them (no problem as it’s a dog friendly hotel). The problem was the dog had obviously been in the river so it stank. The owners also allowed it to to sit on the table where they sprinkled crisps for it to lick up. The final straw was watching a member of staff remove a dog bowl from the restaurant and then come out of the kitchen carrying two plates of food - fortunately not ours. Hopefully we won’t be ill tonight! Goes without saying, we won’t be rushing back.

I recently dined at The Bridge Restaurant/Pub and had an exceptional experience. Despite the last-minute Easter roast reservation, they accommodated us graciously. Our server, Karan, stood out as one of the best we've encountered with his friendly demeanor and attentive service. The establishment's dog-friendly atmosphere added to the charm, and the food was simply amazing. Highly recommended for both pet owners and food enthusiasts alike!

Atmosphere was good, food tasty, excellent, smiley service from Kyle. And he spotted it was my birthday - thanks Kyle!👍😃

I took my wife here for her 30th birthday, we both had steak which was amazing! All the food was lovely. The restaurant is beautiful and cosy, the staff are friendly and efficient. Ibrahim went above and beyond and even brought out a birthday dessert with a candle and sang happy birthday! We will absolutely be going again, there are so many things on the menu we've got to try! 10/10

Delicious food. Beautiful setting. Cherrisa who served using was brilliant. We highly recommend. Thank you!

People inside the bridge were very welcoming and food was great. Very warm and welcoming environment and thoroughly enjoyed

Really great food and atmosphere with brilliant service. Have some super nice new dishes for mid week meals and weekend feasts. Highly recommend!!

Lovely meal, great experience. Ebrahim looked after us and was superb. The food was delicious, highly recommend the prawn linguine. Will definitely be returning.

Great Sunday lunch with friends at The Bridge, Prestbury. Great service too from Karan! Faultless!!!

We arrived for breakfast at 11.40 we were shown to our seats after the server checked we could still order breakfast. It took 25 minutes for 1 coffee a pot of tea and a glass of tap water to arrive a further 20 minutes for the breakfasts to arrive which we’re totally underwhelming after which the toast turned up another 10 minutes later. The second round of coffee and tea never showed up. To top it all the place was empty bar one other table who by this time we’re ordering lunch. One staff member along with a server and an other who I assumed was the manager were having a loud discussion about another staff member. All in all a bad experience all round .

Was here today with 2 friend for lunch, we shared small plates that were tasty. We had a lovely time, thanks to our waiter Gary who really looked after us. We will be back again soon!

Beautiful Sunday roast the best I've had in a long time Frankie our waitress was fantastic couldn't fault her service was fantastic I will definitely be going again.

Great dinner with excellent service by Karan. Lovely atmosphere. Good value and quick service. Would recommend. Great dinner with excellent service by Karan. Lovely atmosphere. Good value and quick service. Would recommend.

Thought we were heading into a nice but average pub food environment - small plates were really special - we shared 3 between 2 - staff also excellent and very nice to the dog

Fabulous Sunday lunch at The Bridge. Food was delicious. A warm welcome. Water bowl for our dog too. Service amazing. Staff so professional.

Delicious salmon! Frankie provided excellent service as well- very engaging and proficient!! Thank you so much!!

Lovely Sunday Lunch with fabulous attentive service from the lovely Frankie. The August special 2 course for £20 was really good value for money. We’ll be back.

Great service from Francesca today. Sunday roast (sirloin) is the best in the area and we’ve tried many! Family really enjoyed it today. Thank you.

Really friendly staff and a good meal. Frankie who looked after us in the restaurant was a real star after a long journey.

Fantastic friendly service from Frankie, made us feel very welcome. Food was fantastic, cozy atmosphere.

Dined here tonight with my sister, her husband and my partner. It was 8.45pm on a Tuesday evening, the bar restaurant was quite empty. The food was ok but fairly mediocre and I would say drinks were relatively expensive. Our main criticism is that the...

We live in Prestbury and always give The Bridge a wide birth as it can be very inconsistent. We hadn’t been since before COVID times but some friends were visiting and wanted to give it a try. I can safely say we will never be...

We visited on Saturday and ate small plates from the new menu which were great. Sadly, the drinks took a long time on every order. However, thanks to Gary for his hard work - we left happy

There's a nice ambience in the outdoor area and it was a great place to catch the sun. Perfect place to have lunch with family. All enchanced by Ryan's sterling service and his attention to detail.

Sat outside in the sunshine, the small plates were fab but the highlight was our server Gary who noticed every detail and looked after us so well…not many any out there like that

Warm, friendly staff and fabulous food, with a great ambience. All you need for a great evening out.

: Had the most lovely time at the bridge, Katherine especially was fabulous and made my bath dream come true. Prestbury as a village is lovely and the bridge is perfectly located as a base for either the village or discovering cheshire. Would definitely come...

I was sent a voucher after entering a competition and until then had never heard of Flat Cap Hotels. We had a great stay, lovely rooms, great food at reasonable prices and vegans well catered for. Great restaurant and outdoor space. Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely...

Another excellent Sunday lunch at the Bridge. The food was great and they had a singer on. We both had the two courses for £20 which was excellent value. Our waitress Frankie was excellent and looked after us really well all afternoon

Really good night he was so welcoming and we had a great night oh and the service was bloody brilliant

Thought we would try this restaurant after it has changed hands. The food was great. The young staff where very attentive. Naomi our waitress was lovely. Nothing was too much and she had a smile on her face all night. We will be back.

Karan was fantastic, great service. Food fantastic. Will be back soon. Had cocktails followed by the burger.

From start to finish we thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay at this lovely hotel . Danny on reception very helpful and friendly . Actually All the staff were very smiley 😊 Had a nice meal in the evening , I had the small plates delicious...

I was looking forward to trying the new menu but was disappointed as the issues I had raised in a previous review, i.e., far too much fried food that was dry and lacked flavour, persisted. Following my last review, the venue was good enough to...

Been for an 80th birthday party on 23rd April and the food was great and the service is also great! Especially great service by Karan who went above and beyond!

Today I treated my mum to an Afternoon Tea here at the Bridge Hotel in Prestbury for a belated Mothers Day gift. It was her first experience of an afternoon tea and I think she was pleasantly surprised. I have had a few before, and...

We had a wonderful stay at the Bridge. On arrival we were greeted by the friendly, helpful and welcoming team and shown to our gorgeous room. The room offered the perfect balance between homely comforts and the luxury of a top hotel with really thoughtful...

Terrible experience today. Mother’s Day well and truly spoilt by incorrect orders, microwaved pancakes and food slung across the table

Quality food served by friendly and attentive staff. I would definitely go again. The Mother’s Day gift was a nice touch.

Lovely atmosphere and amazing service. Ryan, Steven and Ibrahim were fantastic. The food was gorgeous the only thing was it arrived slightly lukewarm and could have been warmer/hot, however it was all still very lovely and delicious. It was very busy so I would put...

Health and safety a real issue and this was laughed off by staff and made a draught and cold feeling to our visit.

Great place- we come regularly but visited tonight to try the new menu. Frankie, Karan and Ryan were amazing and the food is delicious

Lovely evening with friends, great food and atmosphere in the restaurant Perfect waitresses too - thanks Frankie 😊

We have been to The Bridge for Sunday lunch three or four times over the last couple of months. The portions are generous, the food is hot, fresh and delicious and the service is excellent. We have dined on the family feast, which was fantastic...

Enjoyed Sunday lunch as a family. Ryan was fantastic - nothing too much trouble and he checked in on us regularly. Food was lovely as always.

Special shout out to Kuran who was polite, attentive, professional and courteous. Combined with GREAT food it was an amazing way to spend a Saturday!

Apologies for leaving this review however this is the second time I’ve had a bad experience at the Bridge. Went Xmas Eve for breakfast with Santa, daughters birthday. Service was really poor, waiting to be served , Childs meal didn’t come had to reorder, staff...

Check in went smoothly, very friendly with good sense of humour. Free complimentary upgrade the room was fantastic and the en suite massive. Free standing roll top bath - excellent for a good soak with the bath salts provided. Bed so comfy I didn't want...

Excellent restaurant, good food choice and less expensive than I had expected. At NY they came round with complimentary drinks, nice touch.

We have had a faboulas evening at the Bridge Hotel this evening, we had 15 staff out for the Christmas party, food was very good and services exceptional Ben and his colleagues went out of ther way, all staff were very helpful and very proactive,...

I've seen some negative reviews which have shocked me. As a local I visit The Bridge regularly. The staff are really good, I have never felt unwelcome. The last few posts seemed excessive to me as a regular. Rali and Emilia are the perfect hosts....

Enjoyed an excellent meal here served by very efficient friendly staff. Especially Amelia who went out of her way to make us welcome. We each chose a different meal and all were of a high standard. Good coffee too.

My friend and I visited the restaurant last night and had a superb dinner.. From the moment we arrived we were very well taken care of by the Restaurant Manager and his team. Our waitress, unfortunatly I didnt get her name, was lovely.Food was perfectly...

We made a booking for a birthday and family get together over Christmas/new year after having a previous bad meal at the restaurant we were hesitant about going again but thought we would give it another go - Mistake ! We were a table of...

We went for a Christmas meal for a group of 11. Booking was troublesome as the restaurant and event team obviously don't communicate. Sort of akin to a faulty towers booking experience. It was definitely not cheap, so one expected very good if not the...

Lovely dinner on Saturday, good atmosphere, great food and really top class service from our waiter Karan

Advertising 'Happy Hour 5 -7' ordered 2 large glasses of house pinot grigio. £20.00 later to be told the offer only applies to their choice of house wine🤫🤫. First time there to give a local establishment our custom but will not be returning!!! Sadly!!!

We arrived at the Bridge Hotel just before 1430 on a Sunday having booked for lunch. My wife, whose birthday we were celebrating; my two adult children; their partners and my delightful 4 year old grandson. The staff seemed very pleasant and remained so during...

WOW! The food has gone expensive. With rising costs, it is unfair that restaurants start charging insane amounts of money for a meal out. This place is unaffordable if you are not super rich. Used to be a place for a nice occasion! Not any...

Never disappoints. Excellent and really well priced Sunday roast with plenty of gravy 👌🏻. Service from Tanya was brilliant - thank you.

Went for bottomless brunch with gal pals. Food was delicious, waitress ELLA was just great at ensuring that our drinks were topped up at all times and super attentive. Thanks ELLA!! Highly recommend to anyone wanting a bottomless brunch!

Had lunch here last week and everything was perfect. Booking straightforward, warm greeting at reception and served by a lovely young lady called Grace, who was attentive, polite and thoroughly charming and helpful. I had the soup, courgette and rosemary - delicious - then the...

Delicious Sunday roast with our family and especially great service by Karan who attended to our every need - not an easy task with 3 young boys!!

Well, that was a unique experience, sadly not for the right reasons. I’ve been an occasional visitor at the bridge for 20 years since taking my wife there on the evening of the day I proposed to her! Its been through a few changes over...

We booked for a special birthday meal for dinner. We decided on the Bridge because we have been regular visitors for over 30 years. until it was taken over before Covid hit , by new owners. We wanted to try the Bridge again. Which we...

Wonderful food and exceptional customer service. I went with my sister to see our old family home in Prestbury, where I was born, and sadly our mother passed away in. After laying flowers in her memory we decided to have lunch at The Bridge to...

Stayed at the Bridge last night, the drinks menu is amazing and so too is the service. Dylan our waiter last night was exceptional, very at-tentative, friendly and welcoming, a great asset to the business. Rooms we’re clean and are kept to a very good...

We came for afternoon tea yesterday and what a embarrassment for our hosts… just three pedestals were set out for 12 adults & 2 children .. when I asked about the very small amount on said pedestal I was told we allow 2 fingers of...

Went for Dinner and had a bad experience for both food and service. We ordered soft drinks with some much ice we should have just gone for water. One of our party waited a long time for a straw ice would have dropped all over...

Went here for a meal with my girlfriend, food was lovely especially the fish and chips the staff are lovely. Our waiter Ibrahim gave us the best service, very attentive, very polite he made us feel comfortable and at home. Would highly recommend going there.

Went here for a quick bite to eat and ended up staying longer than expected as the atmosphere is great. Food is good and service was fantastic. We were served by Ibrahim and he was very helpful advising us and very nice too.

I am not a vegan, but I went with some vegan friends to The Bridge. The waitresses could not have been happier to help; so much so, that despite being a carnivore, I chose the vegan option myself. Delicious. !

Lovely bottomless brunch. Great food and drinks. Excellent service, especially from Ibrahim who is amazing! Really wanted to try the watermelon cocktail but they had run out. Couldn’t fault it otherwise, recommended!. Ibrahim was fantastic!

What a shame. This restaurant used to be lovely. The location is fab. Today the service was very slow and very poor. Our initial waitress appeared hungover or possibly didn’t care. Took 45 mins to order food. Starters were nice (pate and Camembert). Unfortunately the...

Party of 4, we were disappointed with the new menu. Fairly boring and limited. The special menu was all vegetarian - I have nothing against it by the way just wanted fish or chicken. I opted for chicken schnitzel topped with garlic butter which was...

My trip to the Bridge was a fantastic experience and I throughly enjoyed it. Our server, Ben made our meal very enjoyable by his excellent service. The prawn risotto was a favourite around the table and I would definitely recommend. The entire experience was delightful...

Had a lovely time here, the waiting staff were brilliant, very attentive. I had Immy serving me, she was brill! Nice food and a lovely looking restaurant!

Very disappointing, beautiful surroundings and Gardens but terrible food. We made the mistake of choosing the Tapas selection which lacked flavour, imagination, presentation and quantity and quality. Wouldn’t recommend I’m afraid.

We stayed here last night and loved every moment. Our room was beautiful and came with Crystal glasses and bottled water and lovely bathroom accessories. Dinner was wonderful and the food cooked to perfection - the staff were great fun and we had a lot...

After an excellent visit in April we decided to ‘entertain’ overseas family. I booked a table for 6 adults and requested a high chair. We - husband and I - arrived first and were served by an absolutely delightful girl who was unfortunately about to...

Took the Mrs for a birthday meal to this wonderful establishment. Don't think I could've picked a better place. Got greeted by the most friendly staff who went out of their way to make our night special. Food was incredible, lamb cooked to perfection! Hats...

Sadly the service here is a running joke locally. Which is a shame because Flat Caps have invested heavily in the hard product but cannot get the soft to match. Ordered three items and they managed to get one right. And these weren't obscure requests,...

It seemed to take an age for anyone to give us any recognition on arrival. Service was woeful and the manager spent all his time polishing glasses with no friendliness at all . Food was ok but seriously I cannot see us ever returning

We have visited the Bridge several times over the past 12 months with no issues. However we booked this time and 2 out of a party for 4 unfortunately got covid and so we thought we’d do the decent thing and cancel the table 4...

Roast dinner was missing items when it came out, namely pigs in blankets or stuffing. Plate very empty. Cauliflower cheese ordered as a side had to be sent back as it was inedible Service slow for food and drinks, took 2 hours to serve 2...

The wait staff was lovely. The manager and chef are a unique combination of incompetent and evil. After making reservations, they couldn't decide if they had enough food for our party. They, after an hour of asking us to wait for them to decide what...

I cannot comment on the food here as we tried to book a Celebration of Life event but received such poor service we decided to book elsewhere. The events team were very slow to respond to email and failed to respond to any phone messages...

Fabulous Saturday evening with visiting family. Excellent servers made us all feel very welcome. Very good starters and mains - we were too full for puddings. Great atmosphere. Thank you! We are coming again next week with friends and can't wait!

Last minute decision and managed to book a table on the terrace early evening. Quite surprised how busy it was at 5pm but great buzz in the place, we were lucky with great weather on the terrace that made it for us. Service very good...

I do not like resolving and undermining businesses by posting public reviews but I have now tried to resolve an issue that happened on the night (addressed this with the staff at the time), I have now emailed 3 times, logged a request via their...

From the serice and detail of the cooking this is without doubt a place to visit ASAP The staff are extremely good and Calum in particular - we had mushroom and duck starters with the Sea bass and rib eye to follow We stayed overnight...

As a family of five, we have just enjoyed a most enjoyable meal and evening at the Bridge, great food and service by Charlotte and her colleagues. A lovely menu and all our food was very well cooked and presented, especially the deserts :). Would...

We had to wait an hour for the starters then they came but were taken away as not ours then they brought them again but again they were not ours. Third time lucky we got our starters. Our main meal was no better. It took...

Sat outside assured would be warm lots of heaters etc. Closet heater 15 foot away. Assured it’s an enclosed area wind blowing and enclosure half open it’s FREEZING. WI-FI Doesn’t work asked staff member advised it’s just rubbish I wouldn’t bother. Table wobbling staff member...

We stayed here for the weekend and ate on both evenings. Plenty of choice and good, tasty food, that isn't too pricey. Staff go out of their way to help and make things as good as possibly for guests. Would recommend definitely.

Best Sunday dinner I’ve eaten in years, everything was cooked perfect, also plentiful. Will now be our go to place for Sunday lunch.

Having been told how great it was found it disappointing. Service slow, plates left on the table. Food dry and over cooked. We sat outside and some areas looked scruffy. Staff pleasant enough however they looked out of their depth.
