Flower Pot, Macclesfield in Cheshire East

We went to the flower pot pub last year when we where on holiday from Australia and again several weeks ago while visiting again and enjoyed our meals that were served with friendly smile and very professional service. As a result it was a very special day for us today being my mother in laws 100th birthday today so we came back for a birthday Sunday lunch. The service was the same as before with the excellent meals and service, on leaving, to top it off my mother in law was presented with a bottle of bubbly, which was a lovely surprise and she was so pleased Once again we would like to thank you for a very special day and would like to recommend The Flower Pot for any occasion. We will see you again soon before our return to Australia Best Regards Reg Jones and family.

Excellent food and service. I would definitely recommend

Poped in as we had a big let down in a local nearby pub🤪 I was with the wife and her close friend; best meal we all had in a very, very long time; I always go for my favourite dish which is fish and chips and I cannot remember a better fish and chips that I’ve eaten anywhere in this country; the two ladies couldn’t believe the quality of the meals served to the three of us - superb; had a chat with manager as I was leaving and found that he was related to an old friend I had the crack with many a time 5* management for me 👍 going tomorrow for another favourite meal of mine 👍

We didn't actually eat here on a visit to Macclesfield. We popped in for food to be told it was rammed and there were no seats. When we asked if there were SIMILAR places to eat the staff sent us on a wild goose chase to what can only be described as a miners welfare down the road that looked scruffy and run down . Try better guys it's not a joke or competition we might have returned had we not been messed about

Nice place but so noisy could not hear myself when eating my meal.

Made us feel very welcome fir a recent team meeting.

Amazing roast dinner, faultless, great service.

A top quality meal served by very attentive staff in a pleasant atmosphere Really enjoyed the evening

Great pub for a drink and food. Very spacious and lovely outside area. Lots of parking.

Friendly pub. Didn't eat here but drinks and atmosphere were really good 👌

Lovely Sunday lunch. Loads of roast beef and gravy big Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, parsnips ,carrots & mashed potatoe

Great lunchtime food. But... your chunky chips were a little "Al dente"?. Fry them hotter and longer... get them crispy 👍

Lovely pub and plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Ate and the food was lovely. No checkbacks on how our food was. Table service from staff a little poor could be improved.

Perfect setting, perfect food. Will definitely go again.

We went forc3 big Birthdays and it was a group of 11 of us. Food was great service was great and all food came out together for a big group that good. Staff were amazing 👏

Pleasant time Limited food choice very slow service

If not one of the best pubs in Macclesfield, with great food and drinks. Is always really busy and a large beer garden front and back which makes it ideal in summer. Regular customer and always recommend it to friends

Came for a date nite with the wife the staff were amazing in everyway we ordered food were the wait was 25 min it came piping hot and wow it was amazing a credit to the chefs . Stayed for drinks after the atmosphere was great and a great feeling . Beth was exceptionally in every way and a asset and a great person to promote robbinsons brewery

Nice pub, good menu and the service is friendly and efficient

Food was nice. Nice looking pub with good atmosphere, but the service was very slow.

Excellent food and atmosphere- no delays on food despite it being busy. Great quality food at right price. Friendly staff - will definitely be back. Well done Glenn and team … keep up the good work!

Food not great, won't be going again

Sam and glen are the perfect hosts for any occasion you wish to hold. Such lovley staff to. they all made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond for us and our guests at our marriage blessing. the pub looked amazing glen does a fantastic job at decorating it for your special occasion. he puts in such lovley touches we were absoloutly overwelmed with how beautiful the pub looked.. the food was delicious all served to the guests on platters by the lovley staff and plentyful. We very highly recomend holding any event at the flowerpot. Thankyou so much your both the most amazing hosts. Mr & mrs turner.. 😊

One of the best roasts we've eaten. Friendly service.

Came into the flowerpot today, and the food was amazing - ordered the steak and ale pie and it was perfect. Service from holly was great. Will come again :)

The manager ben is a very angry little man. Very rude and abrupt. Wouldn't recommend. Was shouting at some children playing on the grass in a manner where if was my children he would have been on his back side. Seems to have anger issues. Idiot seems very narcasstic. Won't be returning

Thank you to Ben - Very helpful and brilliant service.

If I could give a 0 star review, I would. Totally unprofessional. We paid and booked part of the pub for my brothers 30th birthday party months ago, and they rang me today and said they have double booked and are cancelling my booking. A week before the party. Too short notice to book anywhere else now, invites have been sent out and everything. One of the managers I spoke to on the phone had little man syndrome and ended the call abruptly on me because I told him how poor of a service this is and how I’ll be sharing my experience. Won’t be coming here again.

Great atmosphere nice pub and the manager ben was friendly just a shame his haircut let him down 😁

The cheese & onion pie was disappointing and unnecessarily served with gravy !. Everything else was fine although warm not hot. Large portions & adequate choice.

Bloody lush fish n chips with a decent discount on a Tuesday! Proper quality grub and a nice outdoorsy area. Will be back for sure ✨️

Great service, especially from the lady at the bar serving us , Tasha. She made us feel welcome and was very friendly and competent

Visited last week, had the fine service of holly, was very approachable and very polite. Food was very good. Would highly recommend the fish and chips. Will be visiting again.

Had a nice meal out with my boyfriend, we had the gammon steak which was lovely and the fish and chips also very nice, our server Jennifer was lovely. Great service! We will be coming back again.

Had a lovely meal at the flowerpot warm and friendly atmosphere we were served by mya she was really lovely and made our time in the flowerpot enjoyable would definitely recommend

Amazing service from Courtney tended to our every need. Amazing food cooked by one of the chefs Emily

Popped into the Flower Pot the other day and both the service and food were amazing, our server Jennifer made sure we felt welcome and was super friendly and attentive :)

Loved it here! Food was amazing and service by our lovely waitress Jen was great. Would deffo come back!

Maya was very helpful, great service and patient with our large group!

Came in for food, excellent service from Ben

Stopped in here today for a meal, had a great experience, the food was great and the staff were very accommodating, especially a young man called Sam who was very helpful and saw to all our needs. Will be coming again :)

Great atmosphere! Great food! All the staff were very welcoming including Holly who served us :)

Disappointed to find food stopped at 7.30!

Lovely pub with a great beer garden. The Sunday roasts are fab, and there's a great choice on the main menu. Not fine dining but really good pub grub!

The food was good but we waited a long time for it to come.

Chunky chips did not taste of anything. My wife and I left most of them. Spoiled a decent meal.

It's an ok large pub, but won't be visiting again since they allowed David Cameron and David Rutley to visit as part of a PR stunt for the Conservative party.

Had a lovely guy called Ben serve us, funny in a very professional way. Great food and brilliant service from all the staff, genuinely all looked happy to be at work!

Lovely food, great service from Ben.

Perfect for a Classic Sunday Roast!

Great outdoor space when the sun is out and the food was pretty good.

The food was absolutely amazing, fantastic portion sizes exceeded our expectations, staff were friendly and the atmosphere and surrounding were perfect.. beautiful place with excellent food, definitely going again and one to recommend to all. Definitely worth 5 stars

Haven't been for many years. Very busy as it always is especially outside during warmer days

Nice pub food ok. Expensive as are most places for food are now!

Fantastic food Disabled friendly would recommend

Came in with a few friends, we didn’t book however they managed to fit us in. Excellent service from all staff members, good selection of food and drinks, will definitely be returning.

10/10 Beautiful pub with great food, loads of beers and gins. They even have table service !

Food came out fast and hot!! One of the best pies I’ve ever had definitely will be recommending to friends

Fabulous evening meal with my family, always felt looked after by the amazing staff. We all had fish and chips as it was chippy Tuesday and it was one of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you to all the staff who made our visit amazing, will be coming back very soon!

Fabulous food, good portion sizes Friendly staff and atmosphere of pub was great

Very clean and friendly staff. Glyn was brilliant and took all my sons needs and requirements into consideration. Food and drinks were lovely would highly recommend.

Food has great taste and portion sizes were good. Friendly service and good atmosphere

Excellent experience, food was great and really good size portions.

Lovely place. We've had a beautiful meal. The goats cheese tart was divine. Husband had Sunday roast dinner (beef) he loved it. Both plates completed finished. And the sticky toffee pudding is a must try.Very lovely friendly polite staff. Definitely will be visiting again.

Lovely food and great service; prompt and polite service from Jess and Maya. We were never left too long before being attended, but neither did we feel like we were being interrupted.

A bit pricey compared to other places around Macclesfield but the dishes were marginally bigger. Very pleased with the fish and chips! Service was spot on and they came out quick with the food. In and out within an hour.

Great friendly staff and fantastic food as always. Nice and relaxing evening.

Absolutely excellent service, staff can’t do enough to make your visit pleasant and never once left this establishment feeling less than satisfied.

Great staff, great food and a really relaxing environment to be in!

Called to have a drink, no where to sit as tables where for people eating so had to sit in the part with pool table, this area was taken over by builders j&l building, language was awful, it was as though it was their space, never mind children were present, if this is what this place encourages to other people then I for one would not be going again! As to your reply to my review, the children weren't just the builders, there was other children in that area, so what you are saying is that it's OK to use awful language as it was their children! Never mind any other customers who have to listen, I'm sure this will encourage customers NOT to visit!

Came here after a lovely walk around Macclesfield forest and the service and food were lovely! Calamari & philly fries were so nice. Pub looks great too!

Outstanding Sunday Roast with all the trimmings. We both had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with fab roast potatoes, parsnip, broccoli, carrots, green beans and gravy. Plus a side of cauliflower cheese. Holly was happy to bring extra gravy and horse radish.

My partner and I chanced a visit with our dog after a walk, arriving around 13.30 on a Sunday, fully expecting to have been overly hopeful by turning up without a booking. Instead, the staff very kindly offered us a table that had a reservation for just under 2hours away. We both ordered a Sunday roast (chicken and pork respectively). The meat was tender, the portions were a good size, the veg was vibrant and crunchy, and we both cleared our plates! The staff were attentive, friendly and professional, and even brought a water bowl and some treats for dog before our food arrived! We will definitely be returning!

Great food, friendly staff, highly recommended.

A group of us had lunch and we all chose various pies...the pastry was extremely hard, to the extent that it shattered when cut into. The fillings were mimimal and nondescript. We elected to have mushy peas and we got a small dollop of very bland green stuff. The chips were just mediocre. The place itself is pretty good and the service and hospitality excellent. But the overall experience was somewhat underwhelming.

Fab food.. welcoming atmosphere

This was one of our random stops we seem to do alot of. Nice looking building with parking. Inside is all nice and modern looking and was greeted straight away by a friendly staff member and shown a table. Food was ordered quick and came out quick as well and food was nothing special but was nice and tasty and fresh which was good. Dog friendly as well.

What a lovely meal at The Flower Pot. Beth was an amazing waitress, polite and attentive and the chicken roast was outstanding. Glenn is very polite and welcoming landlord and seems to run a very smooth operation there.

Excellent service ,food and welcome .Very busy Mums day service but everything was lst class .Jess was our server

Friends night out, great food and good service.

Always love Tuesday nights with the lads. Great beer,service and atmosphere. Well done Glynn.

Sunday roast dinner, let down by tough beef, would have requested steak knife, but nobody came near to ask.

Quick service, very welcoming and the aspect of choosing a small or large meal is ideal. Ample parking, tasty food and the super cute flowerpots made our visit very charming and memorable.

Very good refurbishment, stylish "country kitchen" style and great ambiance. Chippy Tuesday is a good deal. Excellent service, good quality, but beware of the portions. You only get six pieces in the Scampi & Chips. Must do the fish next time. Much better value!!... ...this time had the fish - excellent. Price has gone up 20% !!, but still good. Feb 24 ~ still doing the Chippy Tuesday deal. Still very tasty 😜

Good food Great service and a very comfortable pub

Very nice sunday meal nice atmosphere and good beer i just needed more gravy

Friendly staff, great food - a returning customer!

Relaxing cozy atmosphere, great food. Cheers for squeezing us in ( walk in ) . Highly recommended 👌.

Met a fantastic member of staff, what a change it makes to be greeted by a young polite lady. Georgia was very knowledgeable about the range of drinks and food on offer. Service with a smile. 5*

Lovely,the staff were friendly and food was well presented and cooked

Very friendly place to meet friends

Lovely place if you are looking for a nice local place for food this is the spot, excellent atmosphere, food and furniture has a warm and cosy feeling. Many Thanks

Excellent service, good food and drink at reasonable prices, what more can one say.

French onion soup was delicious.

Despite all that is going on in the world we are extremely lucky to have had the Flower Pot as our local especially over the Christmas and new year period. Always outstanding and very friendly service. What more could you ask for?

Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of my food but let me tell you it was incredible!!! Me and my team came here for our Christmas do, I had the beef brisket.. it melted in the mouth! Best chunk of meat I have ever been served, couldn't fault a single item on the plate. Delicious!

We called for lunch for three. Had a lovely warm welcome. The service was prompt but not rushed, perfect. All three, different, main courses were great. (I only didn't give five stars as I didn't want to give the impression that it was top-class restaurant food.) The layout of tables gave plenty of space but not too far apart to spoil the atmosphere.

I’ve given this establishments multiple chances and every time it really disappoints. Very overpriced for the quality of food and service you receive. After working in hospitality myself for many years, you can tell most of the staff haven’t been trained properly and are rude. The last time I went, me and my partner ordered our food together. When mine came, we waited 20 minutes for my partners meal - no apology or explanation. I’ve emailed management multiple times, with no response.

Had not been for a while as no longer local but worth the visit great food and service.

Kids at play , chips out of packets, staff childish no customer relations at all
