Carters Arms in Cheshire East

This pub does not serve food. Visited on Tuesday evening prior to theatre based on Trip Advisor. Had to hint around for someone to go.

Perhaps the bar staff should ask for age ID before we paid for our drinks. My 20 year old son had proof of age on his phone, which wasn't accepted. I understand that under age drinking is a problem for landlords but for goodness sake don't charge for the drinks before refusal!!

Good for pool and atmosphere, really friendly staff and dog friendly which is good I would recommend

Fantastic Paul was lovely behind the bar very welcoming and the pizza was delicious! Highly recommend this establishment they also have lots of screens to watch sport

Best pub in Wilmslow. Great selection on draught, good place to watch the football and Paul behind the bar is a top bloke.

I was down on business and looking to watch a Scottish champions league match which co-incided with Manchester City playing, the bar staff allocated us a tv specifically for our game, reserved a tabe for us beside our tv and were quite simply superstars all night, helpful, friendly, they just couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome and helped make it a great night (apart from the final football score). I can't recommend this place highly enough!!!

Unfriendly and bad tempered, he completely ruins the atmosphere of the pub and has single handely driven away my business from this pub

Very impressed with the two young ladies working on the bar on a very busy Saturday evening. Busy because the football was on. They were so efficient and no-one was ever waiting to be served. Not experienced that kind of service with a smile for a long time.

We went for something to eat and drink food disgusting lukewarm and bland. Service was not good was made to feel unwelcome especially by the landlord really BAD ATTITUDE. The place in my opinion needs a deep clean as it had a smell to it and also the toilets were filthy. We will not be visiting it again there are too good pubs and eating establishments in the area to put up with sub standard food and service.

Came into Wilmslow with several friends that were playing golf at a nearby course, I very rarely feel the need to leave reviews but the Carters Arms left me feeling I really must! On arrival the welcome into the bar was reasonable for a group of middle aged golfers.The bar was quiet with a few locals in who made us feel welcome. We had a few beers and a game of pool. Before I slate the place I'd just like to give massive praise to the young girl behind the bar (unfortunately I forget her name) who seemed to be manning the whole bar without any help from management, or indeed anyone else at all! She was delightful and did her best to serve twenty guys plus the people already in the bar. What really miffed us was the total lack of supporting staff and at one point a young girl professing herself at the birthday girl (18!) in a DRESSING GOWN actually came behind the bar, helping herself to drinks and even taking money from the till!! I sit here back in my hotel room thinking did this really happen? I'm sure some of my party will leave similar reviews as they were equally as disgusted at our stay at the Carters Arms!

The landlord puts his 16 year old daughter on the bar then kicks off when guys flirt with her!! We assumed she was 18+ What sort of father puts his child out in that arena?!?!

Nice pub under new management has lost a little of it's warm cosiness. Great staff however are friendly and professional. Snooker table and TV screens - unfortunately now has a poker machine in prime central location. Dogs welcome- which is a huge positive!

Odd place - essentially a sports pub. The food is alright but there is no atmosphere (the music was turned up loud to hide this). Great if you want to watch a game but I wouldn’t recommend this pub for families.

A group of friends went for the MWAH pizza, amazing service! Pizza was amazing, really tasty! some had other dishes which they was also really happy with! Bar staff really friendly too! Was a lovely evening had by all!

Good local pub with great pizza from Mwah. The service really makes the place. Would highly reccomend.

Honestly... I don’t think there are real words for how amazing their pizzas and pastas are. This has to be... no, IS the best pizza place in Wilmslow; mad for such a small cosy local pub as well!! Don’t think I’ll be ordering from dominos ever again - why should I when this is right on my doorstep! You’d be an absolute idiot to miss this up - would recommend to anyone passing by 100%

Had a couple of Sunday dinners here now and they are top notch! 3 meats cooked beautifully and great veg! The price is great too! Not to mention the pizzas and garlic bread we’ve had previously! So nice! Itching to try the ribs next! Good atmosphere and nice place to be! Thumbs up!

Could smell this wood fired pizza oven before I even got inside the pub but on the staff recommendation ordered the steak and it was immense. Really friendly atmosphere & great selection of beers! Not sure I’m brave enough for the 40” pizza but definitely will be back.

My boyfriend and I had a great time. I would recommend the pizza and Sunday meals at this place. For those who love spicy, they have a delicious chilli sauce which is amazing on a meat feast pizza. Now a regular customer! Highly recommended if you want awesome food at a reasonable price.

Tom should be on master chef. Brill noght. Great company. Fabulois food. Fantastic night and lovelu hosts Vicki and Ford.

Great pizza’s, delightful and friendly staff. Superb choice of beers and wines. A must visit if watching the football or a post work beer. Highly recommend.

I have been back to MWAH @ The Carters Arms every week since they arrived in the area, it is that good. If you like authentic Italian style pizza, this place is an absolute must. All the dishes are super fresh and wood fired to order. The garlic bread & ribs are delicious. Great atmosphere and service. They even have it set up so you can bob in for a takeaway if you are short for time. What is so great is on a Sunday they clear down and offer the perfect roast dinner with all the trimmings. Keep up the good work guys! *****

I found myself in Wilmslow with work and came across the Carters. Friendly pub and nice to see them serving Hop House 13 up North! Could smell the wood burning oven a mile away and got tempted with one of the pizzas from 'Mwah'. Can honestly say it's the best pizza I've ever had. Fresh ingredients, amazing crust (from the wood burning oven) and was a nice touch for the chef to serve my order to the table with his enthusiasm and love of great food. Will definitely re-visit next time I'm in the area.

We stopped by to try the pizzas we’d heard about. I liked the fact you could choose the size of pizza depending on how many of you there are and/or how hungry you are!

The Carters has never been a great pub for food in recent years and when we saw the ‘Mwah - fresh not frozen’ sign we didn’t hold much hope, but another place we wanted to go to in Wilmslow was fully booked so we gave it ago. The menu is a bit random but they’re offering food they can do well, rather than some places that offer everything but none of it is particularly great. There’s a beef or chicken burger, ribs, a couple of steak and pasta options, pizzas, sides and deserts. I got chatting to the chef, Tom, at the bar and could immediately sense how passionate he is to make this work by putting on good quality, fresh food. He said his background is in street/market food - it sounds like he has completely refurbished the kitchen, installing a special oven and wood fire pizza oven outside. He seemed happy to cater for anything we wanted and as soon as I mentioned a small dietary requirement he not only adapted his recommendations but still remembered it when we spoke again after the meal. For me he suggested a chicken and beef burger that isn’t on the menu (I was hungry!) and it came with homemade chips - he said he learned to make them from his grandad and they’re superb - and salad. Instead of chips you can have a ‘tornado potato’ - another of Tom’s concoctions - and you can get veg instead of the salad. All for £8. It’s even cheaper if you have the burger without sides or one patty instead of two. The rest of the menu is similarly priced, other than the Tomahawk steak, which had sold out, and the enormous sharing pizza, which needs to be ordered 24 hours in advance. We were really struck by how Tom took it upon himself to talk us through what we would be getting, explaining the burger is made from finely chopped rump steak, some mince, salt and pepper, and the chicken (whether burger or on a pizza) is fresh roast chicken, and he uses the same company as Wood Fire Smoke for the pizza dough so it arrives fresh rather than from frozen like most chain restaurants. He also rustled up some sauces on the spot for us to try that he thought would compliment the food. It all tasted sublime, any leftovers Tom will box up to take home, and you can order food for collection (not sure about delivery). Hopefully he’s here to stay because it’s a great little addition to the Wilmslow food scene and I can see it being very popular.

Visited a couple of times now. Excellent food and service. Tom and his team excel with their food. From the calamari to their real Sunday roasts! Excellent! Highly recommend!

Really nice little pub with excellent food and drink! The staff are all very welcoming and the pub has a nice and relaxing atmosphere, would definitely recommend give it a visit.

Fantastic selection of food and drinks...really nice atmosphere and great tasting woodfired pizzas. The bar staff and chefs were very welcoming and enthusiastic to serve great food and drink Thanks We will be back 😁

Decided to call here after seeing the great reviews on TripAdvisor as we were stopping over in Wilmslow Premier Inn. We walked about 20 minutes to get to this pub to only find out they do not do food. We stayed for a drink and then left.

We enjoyed a visit here on a wintery afternoon for their Groupon offer for afternoon tea for four. There was a really good selection of sandwiches (more in quantity and size than your regular afternoon tea) and a good selection of cakes. The cakes were clearly shop bought but nice all the same. The staff were friendly and accommodating, offering top ups of tea and coffee when needed.

Went round the Artisan Markets at Wilmslow then onto the Carters Arms for afternoon tea. I can highly recommend this, the staff are very friendly the food delicious, four different types of sandwiches so soft and fresh, strawberries, scones jam and cream, coffee cake and walnut cake. The best afternoon tea we have ever had, we will certainly be going back.

First time visit with friends from our social Group for our monthly Pool Night. As our regular pub had closed down recently, our organiser had managed to get us into here at short notice. Our evening always starts with something to eat, which we'd booked at the other pub. However the management here had agreed to allow us to use the pub on a Saturday night, even though there were 24 of us, and provide the same food we'd booked elsewhere. Unfortunately although the Lasagne my wife and I had tasted OK, the portions were quite small served with half a piece of the smallest imaginable garlic bread. WE were also given a portion of very rich chocolate cake which we only part ate. At £7.50 pp not great value. Also the dining area was quite cramped, though I suppose that we were just grateful of being accommodated at short notice. Despite the pub being small and a bit dated in a quiet backwater of Wilmslow, they still charged Central Wilmslow prices at the bar!! Being a non drinker, I ordered a very weak Shandy, 90% of which was lemonade, yet was still charged £3.90 and my wifes' medium sized house red was £5 50. At least the management accepted my complaint of small portions and supplied a dish of fries free. Nevertheless we enjoyed our Pool evening, on albeit a small sized table and found the staff quite accommodating towards us. Won't be in a hurry to go back though.

Went to the Carters Arms in a Groupon voucher with friends .

We visited The Carters Arms at short notice for a meal with our daughter who lives nearby. The staff were very professional and the level of service was pretty good throughout. I chose a burger with onion rings and all sorts of extras on it, I have forgotten the exact name. My wife chose the roast dinner and our daughter the cheese and onion pie. The wrong pie was initially delivered but once rectified and a free pudding offered as compensation, all was fine.

I recently visited this local pub with my mum and one year old for a sparkling afternoon tea for the first time. We absolutely loved it! The inside was immaculate and had a really nice feel to it. There was a good choice of music on and the food was nice with lots to go round. They had some games and kids toys which really kept my little one entertained meaning we could really enjoy our experience there. The landlord and landlady were so, so welcoming and made us feel at home. I really wish them and the pub every success! I will definitely be back!

Lovely little pub under new management, friendly staff and good entertainment on weekends. I have heard some bad stories about this place, but for me its a nice pub.

Me and my sister went for a roast dinner today after reading the good reviews on here. Could not fault anything at all. The place is casual and comfortable. The roast dinner was absolutely delicious. I had chicken breast and my sister had lamb and beef and it was perfect. Everything was cooked perfectly and there was plenty of it. The female waitress especially was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be returning when I am in the area again!

I visited here last week with my mum for the afternoon tea that was advertised and it exceeded both our expectations. The staff are lovely, friendly and efficient. The quality and quantity of food was fantastic and I could not recommend enough. The presentation of the afternoon tea was outstanding and the picnic bench detail was a beautiful touch. We were continuously looked after and asked if we required more refreshments in which they were very reasonably priced. We ended up staying longer than we had anticipated due to us enjoying ourselves and it not breaking the bank. Upon leaving a staff member kindly told us that if we wished to visit again for afternoon tea to phone them and he would apply a discount for us. However, we always planned to visit again, discount or not. Although we did not have a roast dinner, it looked amazing and we will be returning here for this soon! Thank you to all the staff here :-)

It was an enjoyable hour over pub food and a drink. Staff are very nice. This place could be a bustling place like the old days.....given the chance to have long term managers again and regular customers. There was a menu hidden behind the pub menu that I hadn't seen before I ordered my food. May have gone with that if I had realised. Perhaps freshly printed new menus maybe an idea or blackboard specials.

This pub is truly amazing. The food is absolutely delicious, freshly prepared, and served to perfection. The Sunday lunch is to die for. They do 2 main meals and a bottle of wine on a Thursday for £25... you wont find a better bargain anywhere.The staff here go the extra mile, nothing is too much trouble.We travel 6 miles to eat here as the food is so good. I give this place 5 stars. Try it, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. You will definitely be going back for more.

Not a massive fan of Sunday Roasts as they're much of muchness and tend to avoid when selecting from the menu, however I'll need to reconsider after my visit to the Carter's Arms. Absolutely gorgeous from start to finish believe me. Well worth the 40 minute drive and without doubt we'll be returning soon, big thanks to the staff amazing service. Give it a go.

Today was the second visit for a Sunday lunch since the new owners took over and we have loved the food both times. All home cooked freshly prepared and cooked beautifully. Really dog friendly and service is great too!! Will be making this a regular thing in the future.

We had family over from Melbourne and had been to Quarry Bank Mill (which was very good), so planned to have an early meal before going home. I had been in touch with Gerry and Charlotte previously. Both Gerry and Charlotte were so helpful with my food issues, the service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for Charlotte and Gerry was the same. Five star rating on the staff alone, never mind the food!

The holy grail of roasts...yes crispy roast potatoes. Everything was cooked to perfection and presented nicely. Staff were lovely and my fox terrier was even given some chicken and gravy by the chef. Clean plates all around. Would definitely recommend

My partner and I called in on the way home from work for a cheeky mid week drink & quick bite to eat. The menu was reasonably priced & there was lots of nice things to choose from. We opted for the Thursday deal which was two mains and a bottle of wine for £25. The portion sizes were ample & the food was yummy. The pub was clean & tidy & the service was great. Would definitely return for another visit.

Rare for me to give 5 stars but this pub was quite excellent. We went for a celebratory meal and drinks, the staff were great making us all feel welcome and really adding to the occasion. The highlight was the food, this was up there with many a top restaurant and by far best pub food tasted. The new owners Ian and Chloe were great hosts and wish them all the best with their new venture. If you are in the area then this is a must. Enjoy!

WOW! What an improvement! First time I have given a five star rating!This place deserves its 5 star rating on Trip Advisor - the staff are friendly, the owners Ian and Chloe are happy to chat and make time for every customer.We have eaten here several times, as a couple, with our family (aged, 9,11,17) and also with our granddaughter aged 9months.Every meal we have had has been outstanding- huge portions, meat cooked exactly as requested, food for children is home prepared, not cooked from frozen, any changes we requested were met with a "no problem" and the gravy is the best in England!Children are made welcome and highchairs provided for babies - this creates a very family friendly environment.The terrace outside is pretty and a real sun trap - perfect for a chilled white wine and a refreshing lager.Highly recommend to everyone.

I have coeliac, and the chef was really helpfulCan to the table, and walked me through the menu, also offered to do a dish to my preference if they had ingredients. Not a wine bar sort of place but a nice pub. The chicken stuffed with page was excellent, as was the mackerel, and great value for money.

Called in for drinks on Saturday night. Not as busy as expected and got served straight away. Good choice of draught beers etc and reasonably priced. Nice decor and seating with decent background music. Would definitely recommend.

We have just returned from a superb meal at the Carters Arms. The staff were very attentive. Unfortunately the big turn off was babies. One arrived with its parents and mother proceeded to breast feed at the next table OK discretely, but at only 5 weeks old would you really bring out a baby into a pub at that age? The other and more annoying was another couple with a baby who throughout the meal was bawling its head off and this is at 7:30 at night! Such a pity for the new landlords of the Carters........it had everything going for it!

Went for a Sunday roast. Great food, lovely staff and good atmosphere. Tried the specialty gins. Would definitely recommend!

Called into the Carter's for a bank holiday lunch. Ian the owner was very welcoming and although busy took time to chatWe had the most perfectly cooked and well presented steak and ale pie (no fatty, chewy meat etc) and Jerry the chef made a point of coming out to say helloThis place is definitely on the up since the change of ownership and chef.If you like a nice drink with a friendly atmosphere and the option of high quality food then the Carters is very much recommended !!

Went to a pie and quiz night here. Pie minister pies are well recommended. Staff friendly and suitable for families.

Amazing service staff couldn't do enough for us food was amazing would definatley recommend caramelized onion and goats cheese bruchetta starter is to die for and my steak main was cooked to perfection!! will be back soon thanks to all staff for making my 30th birthday an enjoyable night

Tried out the new weekly Wine & Dine menu at only £25 with a lovely bottle of wine for two and it was just delicious. It was all freshly cooked by the new chef and all round excellent service.I'll be back for sure - well done the new Carters Arms.

For once a good deal was certainly in the diners favour. A quality menu you wouldn't expect to see in a local pub.Many thanks to the serving staff and chef who are a credit to the landlord Ian.

Met with friends and what a little gem this place was. Staff were really lovely. Friendly and attentive. The food was amazing. All clearly home cooked and good portion size with the added delight on the menu of being able to add additional meats to your Sunday roast if you wanted more than one or couldn't choose.! Plenty parking and some sunny seats on the terrace. Would definitely go back when we are in the area.

The Carter's arms is attractive, both inside and out. This was our first visit. The food was plentiful, and well presented. Staff were very helpful, pleasant and keen to make us welcome. We had a great relaxed evening, lingering longer than we normally do on a,Sunday, as the atmosphere was very friendly.

Fantastic food, generous portions and a fab pub! We ate from the main menu but the Sunday lunch looked amazing!

We were the first to try the new offering of Sunday lunch and were not disappointed. We both chose the two meat option at just over £12 each. The food was presented very nicely and the additional vegetables came on a separate serving platter. The lamb and beef were cooked beautifully and we both could not stop eating the cauliflower cheese. Roast potatoes were perfect and the homemade gravy had a lovely depth of flavour. A word of caution if you are not a big eater only go for the one meat option as you got double the meat on the two meat option. We will be back.

Visited here today for a spot of lunch ! The menu has loads to choose from we even opted for a starter to share as well as our mains after. The food service was quick and hot, and really nice, we will defiantly be back in again !

This is our third visit to the Carter's and on both previous visits we have had a lovely welcome from Ian and his staff.This time we had a meal which was absolutely delicious.We would highly recommend a visit and will look forward to trying other meals from the menu.The afternoon teas sound very tempting as well.

New owners are delightful. Incredible atmosphere, best pub in wilmslow. Can't wait to try the new menu. Will 100% be back.

Amazing pub full of lovely friendly people and staff. Fun friendly pub and well recommended. This pub is going forward!!

A very clean and slightly "chainy" looking pub, but not unpleasant. Service was good, and the beer was excellent. We didn't try the food but have to say it looked extremely good value. Overall, not a bad place to stop off at all.

Lovely pub but the tenants and staff need to get rid of the attitude. A simple hello with eye contact is all that is needed. If they don't like u.....you'll know it.

On a cold, wet day, a group of us went to eat and had a splendid meal. Good beer and legendary pies all served with courtesy and enthusiasm.

One of the highlights of 2016 was stumbling across this pub. Until then my wife and I tended to stick to the Wilmslow centre area, this one is a little tucked away from the usual thoroughfare of Wilmslow high street. However it's worth the excursion away, we've spent many Friday evenings settled in this warm and welcoming pub.There's no fault I could mention with this place; the staff & owners do deserve special mention, they are some of the most genuinely welcoming, warm and friendly people I've had the pleasure to meet. The pub has a local feel to it, but from our very first visit we were made to feel like regulars. The food is excellent, serving an array of delicious Pieminster Pies with all the trimmings. The ale, cider and wine selection is also superb, with guest ales rotating to keep things interesting, while firm favourites (such as the Longhorn IPA) are steadfast and reliable in their availability.Wednesday night quiz is another highlight, with a random draw prize at the end of the night to make sure it's always worth a punt even if your team isn't the strongest! They also have a range of live music to suit all tastes. All in all, I'd recommend this pub to anyone, whether you're a one-off visitor to Wilmslow, or looking for a regular haunt.

Of all the pubs in the Wilmslow this has the friendliest atmosphere and attracts the best kind of people. Also, the pies are fantastic! I have no reason to grab drinks anywhere else :-)

got a deal on a website for drinks and meal, well, pie mash and peas, sounds dull but they have an amazing selection of quirky pies, very tasty too, a very good drinks selection, the service here is excellent, very friendly staff who make you feel very welcome from the moment you walk in , very clean and tidy, nice outside area too, well worth a visit.

I have been familiar with the Carters for about 40 years and have seen it through many transformations. I must say that I hope it remains as is. The pub was warm and welcoming. The staff are friendly and helpful. The menu is exactly what a pub menu should be - good pies, chips(including sweet potato), sausage rolls, sandwiches. The choice of 3 real ales was excellent, The Black Sheep was our favourite - if you had Old Peculiar I would move in!The pub is decorated for Christmas and has a lovely cosy and festive feel - very tasteful and traditional. We had the pie, mash and peas. It was really good, everything very hot too. Pies were packed full. It comes with separate hot gravy. There is a good selection of pies, my only suggestion is that there could be a vegan pie - there is a vegetarian pie but it has goat's cheeses which I hate and of course vegans can't have. Also a vegan sandwich option would be perfect :)They also have mulled wine and mince pies (home made, packed full and delicious). Teas and coffee and cakes (all home made). Selection of daily papers to read. Dogs are welcome and get free treats and water. Quiz night on Wednesdays. Look forward to returning.

First visit on a non descript Monday night in November. A few folk in, but quite quiet.The place is well decorated, I liked the spoof thirties style travel poster pictures e.g. ' Wilmslow - anyone for creative accounting' rather than anyone for tennis.I wanted a decent pint and a simple meal. I got a decent pint and a simple meal and it's good value. So next time I want those things I'll come back....

We visited on a Sunday lunch time, it was very quiet which did give me some concern. I had nothing to worry about the staff were very friendly and attentive, the menu was simple, which made the choice easy. The pies were great clean , plates all round for all ages 9 to 77. A good well kept beer too

Amazing murder mystery evening put together by the carters arms. This pub has hugely improved with the new owners. The pub now fits in with the local area, the new owners have done it proud. Great grub, friendly staff, fair priced drinks. Keep up the good work !

The carters over the years have changed hands so many times, with different range of beers and foods, I have to say the new owners have got something right as the drinks and foods are excellent! Helpful and friendly staff, waiting time for average, food was 10/10 would recommend!

The Carters Arms has the feel of an old-fashioned pub but with modern decor. Real family atmosphere. The only food is pies which are really good. It's a great pub to walk to with your dog which is welcome as long as well behaved.

The Carter's Arms is a little way out of the town centre in a part of Wilmslow with which I was not familiar. It is an old pub but has been refurbished to a high standard whilst retaining its pub feel. The menu is fairly limited but what there is is done very well indeed. We had the pie, mash and peas with gravy and they were delicious. The beer was also in fine fettle. There's also a car park which is good. Highly recommended.

Service Dogs friendly Food Drinks ☀️ Garden view Bill Yes %THANKS GUYS !!!

So,mine Carters Arms was taken over and renovated a couple of months ago. We live a couple of hundred yards away and have watched it morph into a really attractive local pub. It's hard to summarise the brilliance of the transformation, quite subtle but now a far more attractive proposition. The link up with Pie Minster is great - simple menu but it just works. Good beer, better cos they had Jennings, one of my favourites from Cumbria. It is really good to have a decent local pub as our closest... And we were in the winning team for the Wednesday pub quiz a few weeks ago too :-)

Just been here for a mothership pie and an Ale! Would highly recommend this place!! The food was amazing and the service was excellent, we will be back again soon!!

First found this lovely pub when we stayed in Wilmslow in April, called in at lunch time quiet but only just redecorated and not long been open again. No food on when we were there but came back in July and called in on the Saturday afternoon, what a difference the pub was full people inside more in the lovely beer garden as the weather was so warm, had a couple of pints I had the cider which was very nice my partner tried the ales one of his hobbies very good. Decided to come back at the night time to try the pies so glad we did they were gorgeous even had some lovely cake and ice cream after, very nice landlady and friendly locals, just wish we lived nearer be in there every weekend can't wait for another weekend in Wilmslow to try some more pie yum yum .

Fabulous place. Nothing is too much trouble for Anna, Mikey and their staff team. The choice of drinks is great whether it's ales, wine, spirits or newly added cocktails. The menu is recently extended to offer salads and lighter dishes too. They even offer the option to buy dinner for your dog with the proceeds donated to doggy charity. The front terrace is beautiful with flowers galore. Well done guys - this place is a roaring success.

Went here due to groupon voucher and really enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately place was quiet but we were made to feel very welcome the staff could not do more. Very experienced to advise on beers available and the food was excellent. Cannot recommend it enough.

Visited this lovely pub to be greeted with a very pleasant and helpful girl behind the bar. We opted for the moo pieminster with mash peas and gravy. It was piping hot and the nicest pies we have ever tasted. The man who brought out our meals was very helpful too. We will definitely recommend this place and will definitely return. Very impressed!

With it's constantly changing ale selection, which is always perfectly kept, and it's delicious Pieminster menu, the Carters Arms has come on leaps and bounds since the new landlords took over not 3 months ago. Highlight has to be the terrace, which has been given a floral make over and it looks stunning, and is a perfect sun trap after work. If you're going, highly recommend the Tipsy Chicken pie as a Mothership, but it's not for the faint hearted!

We visited this through Groupon and had a pie and mash meal for four including a pint of cask ale. It was very nice, the meal was lovely and supplied via a Pieminister franchise within the pub. The quality of the pies was fantastic with plenty of choice, lovely veggie options and gravy on the side which I prefer.The beer was excellent with three real ales on the bar which is my particular vice. None of the beers were exactly as I prefer but the two we tried were excellent anyway and good to get out of the comfort zone.This pub has been converted from a street corner boozer to somewhere nice to spend an evening without loss of character. Everything is neat and clean and a credit to the staff.Plenty of games are available to customers while they wait, and very friendly land lord and lady with lots of plans for the future

This review is after our second visit.Like with must deals you find on groupon, you never can be that sure as to what you're going to get, but we liked this place that much we went back for seconds. The food served is lovely, good and wholesome (not sure what the bad reviews are on about) you have a choice of pies and a choice as to how you want them serving. The menu is simple and the place doesn't profess to be anything it's not.The staff are very friendly, and try to help where possible.The times that we have been, the beer has always been good.We also liked this place enough to recommend it to our family and friends

We purchased a Groupon deal for the Carter Arms and decided to use it for lunch one day last week.The pub was easy to find and the member of staff who served us was very knowledgeable about the products on offer i.e the pies and the ales. We decided on an ale after she told us about each one and then selected a pie from the menu. One of us is a vegetarian and the other not but certainly had a few to choose from.The pies arrived with all the trimmings and we can only rave about them they were so good.We finished off with sticky toffee pudding and a coffee.A perfect lunch though the portions were enormous it should have been dinner....

Went for an early meal recently. Slightly disappointed that they only had one of the three real ales available however it was in good condition. The pieminister pie was excellent.

Went for birthday drink, friendly land lady, nice ambience , welcoming, lovely surroundings and just down the road! Perfect! Looking forward to having a pie!

What a shame that a pub in a good location thinks it's okay to sell cheap, awful pies and that's all. We read the reviews and thought we'd give it a go. I asked if a pie had peppers in and three members of staff were clueless and said he'd go read the packaging. Awful. The food then came out and was honestly terrible. Tasteless, clearly had just been blasted in a microwave. On par, if not worse, with a cheap value microwave meal. Atmosphere in the pub was dull and flat too. Safe to say we won't be returning. So many other great places to try. The Wizard in Nether Alderley, Anthology and Coach & Four in Wilmslow - I recommend these.

Went here yesterday on a Groupon deal, never heard of the pub before so didn't know what to expect. Pleasantly surprised as we walked in to a clean well decorated pub, a lovely outside seating area, nice hosts and a great menu. Both pies were excellent, and to be able to sit outside in the sunshine surrounded by hanging baskets was lovely (there were even fresh flowers on the tables). If these are new owners of the pub, good luck to them, it really is a credit to them and somewhere we will definitely return to.

Me and my friend visit the pub on a Wednesday to complete the pub quiz which we are awful at but thoroughly enjoy. What makes the night enjoyable are the new landlords Anna and Mikey who are two of the best and nicest owners I have come across in Wilmslow and their wide selection of drinks on offer in the new refurbished pub!

The new owners of the Carters are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. We went for pie and stayed for the quiz. We liked the fact it started on time and the questions were good.The food was very good we both had the mothership which was pie, peas, mash, gravy and fried onions and cheese. The pie was the Deer Stalker, it had lots of meat in it. We followed with desert, sticky toffee pudding and a lemon tart both served with ice cream. Both were lovely. We have returned tonight to try a different pie and hopefully win the quiz again. We won a £10 voucher to spend in the pub.Good times were had by all.

Lovely pies n mash meal which was a total bargain ! Will be back soon. Even the baby loved the mr porky sausage roll

The Carters has just started doing food.... In doing so they go from strength to strength. Great value, great service. Fab outdoor area at the front. As always, the owner's (Anna & Mikey) special welcome makes this place stand out from the rest. Having a clearly positive effect as the place is consistently busy.

Fantastic food,lovely staff v friendly,had a homemade cake for afters which was gorgeous,good value for money definitely recommend

Superb pies, superb service, superb atmosphere. 4 of us enjoyed a lovely meal. Mike and Anna made us feel very welcome, will definitely be visiting again.

This pub has fantastic landlords who give a very friendly welcome. Great beers available and the pies are the best I have tried whilst being great value for money. Can recommend this place enough

The new landlords, Anna and Mikey, have done a fab job of reinventing this place and it has a very homely feel in contemporary decor. I went along for their opening weekend and again more recently for their pie menu preview. They have won the pie minister contract for Wilmslow and it's the perfect place to stop by for a pie and a pint! Definitely go for the Mothership - pie, mash, gravy (on the side), peas and topped with crispy shallots and cheddar cheese! There is also the option of home made coleslaw. My only regret was that I was so full that I just couldn't manage sampling the dessert menu, so I'll just have to go back! On the opening weekend I did sample a slice of homemade lemon drizzle cake - divine! And if you're driving, they have a good range of soft drinks including slightly more unusual J20s and fruity fusions. They now do live music on Saturdays and a quiz night on Wednesdays so plenty of reasons to return...and sample the desserts!Anna and Mikey are very friendly and welcoming and chat to all their customers, and I'm sure they can't wait for you to stop by :)
