Farmers Arms in Cheshire East

Isaac and Izzy looked after us. Isaac was exceptionally diligent in relation to dietary needs on the table and Izzy was polite and attentive. A lovely meal, lovely pub and good service. Thank you.

Just popped in for a coffee during my break and I’ve felt compelled to leave a review, mainly based on how clean the place is. Jaw-droppingly clean, even the toilets. It’s like a luxury hotel. Obviously not a deal-breaker for most people when choosing a pub to go to but service from James was excellent as well. Lovely place.

Friday evening drinkies. Well supported after recent refurbishment but v hard to hear each other chatting as v noisey, especially with music blaring out!

First visit for family of 4. Really nice decor. Friendly staff.

Nice place but didn't have a few things that were on menu and few drinks not available but coffee was very nice

Me and my partner come here and food was okay/ how ever - if you’re buying a cocktail DONT! I ordered porn star martini and wow it was absolutely disgusting , was the price of normal cocktail, it didn’t even taste or look like a poem star. Was yellow and was on draft… I don’t mind paying the money for a good cocktail. But it was vile.

Delicious food and excellent service. Great atmosphere in lovely surroundings.

Well furnished restaurant. Food was okay. Great service by Isaac.

Called in for lunch last week and it was the start of a new menu. Food and service was great. A special thanks to Gemma for taking care of us.

Really nice food. Great service.

If I could give 10 stars to the service and food we got today I would. Isaac was super friendly, offered me extra bread if I wanted it with pate. The mozzarella sticks were piping hot and plentiful. We had a roast beef dinner and a steak pie for main and both were brilliantly cooked and presented. But it was the service from Isaac and the team that really made this place stand out from everywhere else around, truly superb. Parking is limited but there are other options available locally which the team were happy to chat us through. Our first trip bit we’ll def be back.

The food was excellent we had a roast beef dinner each and it was really tasty, generous portions, lots of gravy. Our waiter Issac was really attentive and efficient. We had a really great experience, thank you Farmers Arms, You’re back!

Steak pie really lovely and mash too… couldn’t grasp large portions of cold Kale . Fab service by Isaac lovely personality very professional very caring toward my 88 year old mum

Lovely lunch at the farmers, our server Isaac was really helpful with my friends allergy requirements!

Lovely Sunday roast. Isaac was lovely and really helpful :)

Very nice pub. Unfortunately, we’re there for a sad occasion, but we still felt comfortable. Everything was perfectly organized and we were very nice received.

Wow, wonderful refurbishment and menu, had a great night running the Wednesday night quiz, well done to Richard and the staff. Another excellent evening with Richard, Paula & staff... Thanks

great food and service from Isaac

The food was OK, but neither dish was at all as described on the menu. No bacon and mustard in the mash and no onion in the gravy for my meal, boiled potatoes instead of sautéed and no asparagus for my wife’s. The manager was genuinely apologetic and offered me a free drink. But she was clearly wholly unaware of what the chef got up to, and wasn’t ‘managing’ at all.

The service was amazing in particular Isaac our server was very welcoming and thorough when asking for allergies

Ordered a cheese on sourdough toastie with soup today, I’ve never had a portion of food so small and soup was lukewarm. Certainly not value for money at £10.

Great pub with nice food. Friendly staff

A perfect set up on the patio when the sun is shining. We go on a Friday with our dogs. Water bowls provided. Food is lovely. Service is always great. Plenty of staff to take your orders outside and prompt delivery of drinks and food. Hope as the cold weather comes that there are enough tables inside that will be dog friendly as plenty of people bring dogs.

ordered : sea bream , roasted new potatoes, kale and pine nuts sea bream came ..a tiny piece of flat fish, new potatoes were boiled not roasted small spoonful of kale minus the 'pine nuts.' ordered desert: sticky toffee pud: a tiny, cold sponge minus the 'sticky toffee' ! an expensive experience. music loud.

The 4 stars are actually for our server Isaac who was brilliant (actually would be 5 stars just for him, but had to drop a star due to an absolute mess up on arrival with our table booking and the manager was really poor at dealing with it. Apparently we were 'downgraded' to the bar as they thought we had a dog - no dog, never did have a dog, really spoiled the start of the birthday celebrations?? However, once finally settled in the restaurant where we should have been anyway, Isaac was attentive to our every need, the wine and food were delicious, most of us had the roast dinner which was plentiful. Had deserts too which were lovely, in the end turned out to be very good despite the bad start, saved by Isaac, well done!

My soup tasted nice but the ciabatta which came with it was cold. One slice was barely toasted and the other was verging on burnt. My steak ciabatta sandwich was not great. It had a really big bit of gristle in the steak. The best thing about it was the warm toasted nachos which came with it. The service was good and cheerful and the decor of the pub was lovely. For the price they charged, it was very disappointing. Given the other positive reviews we were expecting much better.

Really nice food and great service!!

Major Refit. Looks brilliant. Significantly improved decor and facilities. External seating massively improved, with little cabins as well. Car park much better and Disabled bays clearer.

Excellent service by Izzy and the food was perfect. Definitely go again.

Very nice. Smart envitonment. Good food and service.

Visited the Farmers Arms in Poynton for the first time on a drizzly Monday lunchtime. Everything about this establishment was first class, the service and food being outstanding!!

Food is great, good price and tasty. Really nice staff. Thank you for great experience with our dog :)

Served by Isaac, excellent service, very welcoming and attentive! Great food too!

Me and my daughter went for a meal today here, it was absolutely beautiful. The staff were very polite, I would definitely reccomend the Sunday lunch. We will be returning very soon

My ravioli tasted great but was small and overcooked. Service was very friendly but slow. Music got loud suddenly for no reason.

Excellent service by all members of staff. Plenty of tables. Menu was good. Food was really nice and well priced. Nothing was to much trouble, staff very attentive and hardworking a credit to the pub. Haven't been here for a few years so I was really pleased with our experience here and will definitely go back.

Good food and service in a pleasant atmosphere. Some items missing eg mash

Isaac is fabulous and a credit to you very helpful very attentive and a pleasure to meet.

First time here. The place is extremely clean and well decorated. We only had cocktails but definitely will be back to try the food while we are in town for two weeks.

Recently refurbished and looking great, good food at reasonable price and Robinson's beers, recommended.

We didn't have food so can't rate that but oh my what a totally lovely pub! Presented beautifully inside and out, welcoming friendly staff, great service and a fantastic atmosphere. Will be returning for food!

Amazing food and lovely outdoor seating. Our waiter Isaac was a star

Lovely place! We stopped in for a light lunch out in the sunshine. Great service and prices not bad either.

3 of our party enjoyed their meal however mine was shocking value for money. I ordered cauliflower steak with red pepper sauce, saute potatoes and pan fried asparagus. What I got was cauliflower florets in a watery red pepper sauce with very wet carrots, kale and a few new potatoes. The dish was swimming in water. To be fair when I questioned the waitress she did bring me some asparagus but I was told that in the chef's opinion I had been given saute potatoes . Clearly the chef has no idea what sauté potatoes are! I can't believe they charged me for this dish and I certainly will not be returning.

Went with a group of 24 people. Excellent meal and very good service. I can highly recommend it. The manger was extremely helpful

I wouldn't rush back. It's all a bit clinical for my liking. At the time of our visit, the management just lacked any common sense or understanding. We spent a Saturday afternoon there spending a fair bit on food and drink as it's not cheap. After food, the kids wanted a donut, so we popped to Gregg's to get them one. They sat quietly in the beer garden eating them when a rude manager approached us and told us they had to put them away away or leave. I understand the no food and drink from elsewhere policy, but this was just ridiculous. It was a 2 - and 4 year old quietly eating a doughnut whilst we were still spending. Management lacked understanding, compassion, customer service, and just general common sense. For me, there's better places in Poynton with staff that are far more understanding.

Beautiful setting, very cosy, fabulous staff, incredibly friendly and an overall great experience

A nice pint of Dizzy Blonde, cheers! Fish + chips! Sticky toffee pudding with lashings of custard made for such a sunny day as this at the Farmers Arms in Poynton! Convivial company inside and out, meeting up with old friends who all enjoyed their chosen meals too!

Lovely lunch and very good service. Thanks😊

Issac was a great waiter - lovely approach to us all and good food recommendations too.

Service was absolutely fantastic. Our server was very attentive and courteous.

Issac looked after us very well and we enjoyed our evening very much! Thanks Issac

Really great Sunday Lunch and service - thanks to Kyle and his colleagues

We visited with our dog for an evening meal. To which we were treated to wonderful food and amazing service.

Visited on 04 July ‘24 for a few drinks with friend and had to ask for the (supposedly) background music to be turned down, as we couldn’t hear each other speak other across a table. The Managers attitude was appalling, claiming he was ‘creating an atmosphere’. When I go to Pub I don’t expect music to be blaring like I’m working out in gym.. it’s meant to be relaxing, encouraging me to stay and spend money.. we left promptly and It’ll be a long/miserable day before I go back.. and FYI I’m a Drummer and have spent my life in Bands, so I know how to make noise and an atmosphere.. this was/is not it!!

Restaurant was lovely. Isaac was very attentive.

Fabulous food (piping hot) and equally fabulous service from Isaac - very present and attentive throughout xxx

A cut above the usual pub. Stylish decor, decent food and great service from Isaac and the rest of the team. Polite, efficient - and for once a decent ratio of serving staff to customers. We will definitely be back.

Nipped in for breakfast and a coffee before some shopping and it was delicious. Katy was very attentive and professional and the coffees made by Matt were very nice! Food was was hot and tasty so I'll definitely be back!

Called in for lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Service and food great with good recommendations and attention from Issac. Lovely touch of ice cream and anniversary wishes. Thank you

Had a lovely lunch on Tuesday which is fish day £9.95 was massive and lovely crispy batter . Service from Isaac was excellent. Nice refurb too . Linda

Have just been told that this pub has been refurbished and has a new menu so we thought we would take a look. To say over priced second class food would be a TOTAL exaggeration as we have eaten far superior food at a restaurant 3 hundred metres away. both cheaper and far superior quality food also linen serviettes not cheap paper. We can't understand why anyone would want to eat in a very second rate environment with VERY poorly presented value for money.

The service of the staff was very efficient and the food was quick out, as well as tasty!

Lovely ambience - great service from Isaac

Had a ‘Chippy Tuesday’ £9.95 for fish, chips & peas and it was as great! Fresh fish, home made chips & peas, it was lovely. Great service too and the farmers make over looks very classy. I would definitely recommend!

Popped in for lunch, there was a good selection of main courses, but only three sandwich choices (would have liked a nice tuna sandwich). We decided on the small fish and chips, delicious 😋

First time at Farmers arms. Popped in for lunch and coffee. Service was great (thanks Isaac). Food was good too with pretty good value. Amazing decor and great ambience. Keen to try for an evening meal at some point.

A very average Sunday Lunch. Beef was over cooked and couldn’t cut the chicken breast it was so tough! No Lamb or pigs in blankets left. Rest of meal was OK. It will be a while before we return. (No loo paper in the ladies either).

Not a bad lunch spot, outside area looks new and is nice, food was okay pub food, had the fish and chips and it was decent. So was the gammon steak, the ravioli was obviously frozen. overall good

Good food, good service. Value for money. The small fish & chips was really quite large for us. Much improved and refreshed decor after refurbishment.

My favourite pub in Poynton. Classy good staff great atmosphere.

We went to have some food as a family on a Sunday early evening at 6:20 and were told the kitchen had stopped serving food for no reason other than last orders? Google says food served until 7:30. If it is earlier please amend your socials. We wasted our time coming to you with 2 children that were hungry.

Quirky pub and restaurant in central Poynton. Lovely vibe and decor, great food and drink as well as a sun drenched patio and parking. Top notch.

Wonderful lunch and brilliant staff. My friend was poorly due to medication she has but the staff were marvellous and very attentive. Definitely a five star restaurant. Thanks to the staff who looked after my friend.

Me and my family came here on Monday, and the food was amazing, definitely worth the money also very fast service. The girl who served us (I think her name was Jessica) was amazing, she helped my mum with the menu as she has an intolerance to lentils, but wanted the spinach and harissa burger. She told her about the QR code on the menu and she went and asked the chefs for her just to clarify. She took time out of her shift to ask the chefs but unfortunately the chefs didn’t know as they had removed the burgers from the packaging so she said to my mum she didn’t feel comfortable serving it just in case, We will definitely be coming back here.

Great early evening meal and attendance by Isaac.

Went to this place the other night . Food was amazing and Jessica are waitress was incredible! Can’t thank Jessica enough for her service. Top place highly recommend

We arrived at 18:57 and were first told that they had stopped serving food. Isaac and another man came over and said we could take a seat! Service was lovely from Isaac and food was delicious . Too full for the Baileys cheesecake 😢 Definitely come here in the future 😀

Not been here for a while but thought we'd treat ourself to breackfast after their revamp. Absolutely gorgeous food 10/10! I had the Full Veggie and asked for poached eggs instead of fried and my hubby had the Breakfast Sandwich. Staff are super friendly and it was a lovely experience sitting outside in the sunshine with music. Highly recommend.

Went for lunch as I haven’t been since it’s been opened, food was nice I had the fish a chips which was spot on. My wife had steak and union pie, which she thought was very presentable. The server Jessica Was amazing, very attentive and attending to all our needs couldn’t fault her made the atmosphere better as she was so smiley and happy, Definitely be coming back again soon.

5 star breakfast wonderful service by Natalie. Really friendly and made our visit throughly enjoyable

Stopped by for a drink, lovely place, we sat outside, we got served by Isaac who was excellent in his knowledge about the drinks and food menu. We shall return.

Farmers arms is fantastic ! Great atmosphere and Isaac who works there was fabulous! Very polite and attentive! Perfect day! Thankyou

Not been here for a long time but will certainly be coming again soon

Lovely atmosphere here, the food was delicious, we had the steak and unicorn ale pie, it was amazing. The people serving were all lovely and friendly.

We called in and had the steak and ale pie, absolutely delicious. Isaac our server was friendly helpful and professional, he gave us exactly the right amount of attention, always with a smile. I can't recommend the Farmers Arms enough. The food is amazing and the people are wonderful.

Friendly & efficient staff especially Isaac. Food was delicious 😋.

Food was so nice. All the staff are friendly and helpful.. The pub/restaurant itself is lovely the atmosphere is so relaxing. Would recommend to anyone

Nice place. Chilled outside in the sun. Didn't try any food. So I couldn't rate that.

Not been here for years so I was blown away with how nice the place is,the decor was gorgeous, The staff are so lovely really easy to chat to really friendly. I had small fish and chips my friend had a large,the fish was nice but the chips were awful they were either reheated or oven chips so dry even with a ton of vinegar and ketchup on. Peas awful again really dry tinned mushy would of been so much better.

A pub which has transitioned to become a managed house Staff very friendly and outside drinking area ideal for summer

A lovely meal at the Farmer's Arms, thoroughly enjoyed the Honey Chicken Burger and the Apricot lavender crumble tart. Lovely staff too and lots of varied seating.

Love the refurbishment at The Farmers. No food as yet so I couldn't give 5 stars. The bar staff are so friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to visiting again 🥰

Great friendly place to drink with good value food too

Never did i imagine that The Farmers would be somewhere I no longer wanted to visit. I have been used to the highest level of hospitality in there over the years and it was the only place in Poynton i wanted to go to. The new 'Manager' lacks any personality or people skills. I have seen with my own eyes how rude he is to the female staff members, and customers, and for me, seeing the staff who have survived following Martin's departure, looking sad and nervous when he is around, breaks my heart. Maria has been the face of The Farmers for as long as I can remember. She has always gone above and beyond for everyone who walked through the door and the new Manager could learn a hell of a lot from her experience there, yet he is bringing people in with the same lack of friendliness and people skills that he has, from god knows where! To top it off, I was physically sick when i walked in the ladies toilets last week, the smell from the sanitary bins was absolutely vile and they clearly haven't been emptied in months, as the smell was the same in December. I had to leave as there was no way I could use the loo in there. The facilities were always immaculate when Martin ran it, and i can't comprehend how in such a short space of time, it could turn so disgusting? Possibly because the Manager seems to be a 'Man's Man' and isn't interested in the experience in the pub for women? It's all well and good doing a refurb, but Robinsons have got the wrong person for the job given the clientele from this lovely village we live in!

Went on a Saturday night very welcoming atmosphere friendly staff food was good we had the Fish and Chips and Steak pie good value for money will return.

Appalling lunch. Waited an hour, soup was cold, (and like really cheap tinned soup) rarebit was burnt and hard, club sandwiches turned up with no bacon or mayo as described. Childs burger turned up with barbeque sauce etc , not child's burger. Food looked like it was thrown on the plate. Waiting staff were lovely though. Still £41

Excellent meal for a group of 12 of us for my dad’s birthday. Excellent attentive service, lovely freshly prepared food and they helped us with a surprise cake and candles I brought with us and gave us plates and cutlery to have the cake for our pudding. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Farmers Arms team xx

i came to the farmers arms last weekend with my mum and was served by Kyle who was amazing and so attentive, always making sure we were okay, such a superstar!!!!!

We've been coming here for years. What was once the centre of Poynton with a great atmosphere and a friendly manager has become dire. The once happy staff still try to be fair. Food finishes very early and what we have seen come out the kitchen is very ordinary. We won't be coming back anytime soon. Just look at the other pubs and bars in the village. You'll see ex-farmers clientele. Robinson's act before its too late.
