Honey bee in Cheshire East

Great staff place is cosy welcoming and great menu plus top class service and chat .

Another gret visit, Eton Mess was beautiful.

Received a very warm welcome yesterday 22nd November 2024 from Heather, Charly and Vicky. Took and served my drinks and food order in the usual warm and friendly manner. Table booked for next Monday and Friday.

Fabulous food and great service. Jackie was lovely. Will definitely be back.

I visit the honey bee once a week, and find all the staff very helpful, especially Alison nothing is too much trouble for her.

Another fab meal and great service again from Alison 😊

My friend and I just want a quiet place to have a simple lunch and to catch up. The waitress gave us a lovely place near the open fire, but due to my hearing problems i asked her to give us a quieter place. With a lovely and understanding smile she brought us to the other part of the building and gave us a seat near the new lit open fire. We had a lovely time. Thank you so much!

Service slow. Roast dinner disappointing. Roast potatoes turnips barely cooked. Pork belly very good but the cracking so hard it was inedible. Returned to the honey bee yesterday had excellent lunch. Roast turkey dinner and sea bream all perfect. Good prices. Looked after by Alison- perfect hostess

A regular place for good food and hangouts with various friends. The service is great, Alison is always helpfil and funny.

Alison is our regular, brilliant waitress. She deserves 5 stars.

Banoffee Choux bun was excellent and we had a lovely waitress Alison

Alison was our server, she had a good jolly personality. The food was lovely and the pub was cosy and a good atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

Alison was our server and she had a lovely jolly personality, very kind. And it’s a lovely pub to come with family with.

Alison was great today, thanks Alison :)

Lovely meal. Alison was a fantastic server

Alison was very efficient and polite

Jon was excellent - very friendly. Made us feel very welcome. Food was excellent.

Great meal & service. Served by Jon who was very friendly and attentive.

Ok drinks expensive,atmosphere ok

A relaxing place to stay, within easy reach of some amazing Suffolk towns and landmarks. The staff were very accommodating. Accommodation and food excellent

Lovely pub, good value on bar snacks, awesome staff!

Marcus was so kind, helpful and a wonderful source of energy at the pub!

Nice food, great service . 2 slight letdowns for Sunday dinner… Not enough gravy & miniature amount of horseradish when requested.

Very disappointed. A lot of the light bulbs are out so it was dark above our table. The food was very bland and greasy, couldn't eat it all. The service was extremely slow to the point on 2 occasions we had to ask where our food was. I needed the toilet which was upstairs, they do have a downstairs toilet for people with disabilities, again very dark as light bulbs hadn't been replaced. Sorry to say I won't be going again.

Great food. Jackie is our favorite waitress. Always great service

Have visited for many years, have seen staff come and go! Jon, in particular, is always helpful and friendly - always makes us feel very welcome. The fish and chips is always tasty, extra special with a jug of lovely thick gravy. Husband always enjoys his roast dinners. Lovely location, plenty of parking and always clean and tidy. Back soon! Gill & Jason .

We have had a fabulous meal tonight with great service. Compliments to the chefs Jose and Alvaro! We will be back!

Jackie was super helpful and friendly

Lovely food and excellent service.

Excellent lunch Alison looked after us really well

John was our server and was polite, humorous and attentive. Would recommend!

Had a cracking experience, solidified by the the table staff John , who made the whole experience more enjoyable 🙌🏻

Vicky served us today. We’ve been a few times and the food is always spot on, the atmosphere is too.

Delicious meal. Thank you Jacquie for great service. Highly recommend the Honey Dome dessert

A lovely place for a family gathering. .food great

Food very bland. There were 4 of us and we all had 3 different dishes x 4. None were particularly great. Overall it was disappointing 😞

Lovely country setting with an excellent menu. Few different deal options also. Fully recommend.

Jon made the trip, food was brilliant but service was second to non. He’s a real credit to the business.

Amazing visit on Wednesday. Service from Jacquie was faultless and the staff seemed to be enjoying their jobs. See you soon!

Fabulous Sunday ‘Trio’ roast dinner - turkey, beef and thee most delicious pork belly with crispy crackling. Broccoli, glazed carrots, cabbage, parsnips, fluffy roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese to complete 😁 … and the dog was welcome too 🦮 Well worth the trip out.

Wouldn’t go again , food on the menu is not reflected what you receive on plate , looks like they’ve shopped in Iceland , small portions, check your bill , service charge suppose to only be added for party’s of 8 or over we where 7 ?

Kitchen wasn't working so they offered free food they could serve and free drinks amazing service

Booked for this Sunday and the Sunday lunch was super tasty. It's one of the best in the area. Had a great waitress serving us this time which certainly made the experience run super smooth. She was quick at returning with sauces, extra gravy etc. I've not seen her in here before but she is definayely a credit to the team, unlike the older lady who wears the face mask constantly. She threw the receipt at us the last rime when we declined to tip her. Today we left our waitress a tip because she genuinely deserved it. So thank you 😊

Booked for Sunday lunch on Sunday 13 October for 2.00 pm. Travelled for over an hour arriving at 1.45pm to be told by an employee that we could not be seated because of water pressure problems. We were so disappointed at the way we were treated. Hardly any apology or compensation for our trouble. Very bad customer service.

An absolute hidden gem in Wilmslow. The best food at amazing value. The staff are so friendly and the atmosphere and feel of the pub is so inviting.

The food was delicious, and plentiful, the staff were very attentive, and helpful, an all round great experience.

Service a little slow, there was only one waitress serving at tables. The waitress was lovely and tried her utmost to take everyones orders.

Staff can not help enough, so polite and the pub was clean and food delicious, thank you for our dining experience

Amazing place awesome food, excellent service and a great atmosphere 😀

Ate lunch here about an hour ago.The pate and fish and chips that I had were excellent and my better half had prawn cocktail and chicken/bacon/avocado salad which she said was excellent also.Cocktail and Timothy Taylor beer were good too.How anyone can manage 3 courses is a mystery as the portions are very generous.Also has the best gluten free bread rolls I've taste,individually packaged and sealed too.Staff were all great! Thanks for a great lunch.

Lovely pub, food and really friendly staff would highly recommend.

Popped in on a whim, early evening. Had seen mixed reviews but the 40% offer enticed us in. It was busy but not overwhelmingly so. The staff were welcoming and attentive, showed me how to collect stamps on the app and were patient when my 3 year old wanted to spend forever deciding and independently ordering his meal. My steak was cooked perfectly and the children's meals are a great size. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed and will certainly be back!

We came for a family birthday meal there last night, there was 11 of us and the food was amazing some of us had the pie, couple had the gammon, 1 had sea bass, and some had lasagna.

Lovely food and very friendly staff. Amazing food. Not a massive selection on food. But what they have on the menu, is very tasty. 👍 They have different pie and soup of the day. Steak and ale pie is scrumptious. Dog friendly. Wheelchair accessible. Disabled toilets downstairs. Other toilets are upstairs.

Great service very helpful and the food was fantastic and help from Jacquie

Lovely meal at the HoneyBee! Alice and the team did a fantastic job, we can't wait to return for the festive menu!

We really enjoy coming to honey bee the food is always delicious and the staff are super friendly too

First visit to the Honey Bee and will definitely be back. Went for a surprise birthday meal with my granddaughter, daughter, mother and grandson. Jacqueline the waitress was lovely and made us feel very welcome. We were sat in a bay window table which had lovely views of the gardens and surrounding woodland. The food choice was good and they had different allergy options which was great as my mother is a celiac and requires gluten free. When the puddings arrived they surprised my granddaughter with a candle in her chocolate brownie and sang happy birthday to her. If you want a nice atmosphere, well cooked food and a chilled atmosphere definitely give this place a go

Superb service from all staff, wonderfully cooked steaks and Lamb, great atmosphere and all around really lovely place. The staff worked very hard on our visit last night, busy but took the time to be polite at all times, helpful and both food and drinks were served quickly. Great pub!

A very warm welcome by all staff. The food was delicious and we had a great menu to choose from.

Food was good but the reason why its a one star is because 1. They tried to charge me 20£ for something I didn't get. 2. Service took way longer then it should. (I gave it a 2 star because maybe there was a lot of people.) 3. Our table was a bit dirty. Please fix your restaurant.

Great food, service and busy place

Excellent food, been before its lovely

Nice drink of Guinness and nice atmosphere, staff welcoming, not eaten here yet can't comment

Shockingly understaffed, so after being seated, we waited 15mins, to have even a drink order taken.....would have gone to the bar, but only one harassed lady multi tasking with arrivals and coffee. Avocado on the 2 salads was grey, so sent back. Fishcakes, sadly thin/flat and underwhelming. Mini puddings, when they eventually arrived (25mins) were very nice, unfortunately the hot drinks ie 4 coffees didn't materialise, we gave up after another 30 mins waiting. Only beacon of light was our friendly ,hard working waitress Jackie, she seemed to be single handedly serving the whole pub, including a large party. We did get a very reasonable amount knocked off the bill, but that's not the point.....it spoilt what should have been a lovely lunch out with friends. I wont be recommending, or visiting the Honey Bee anytime soon

Great quality pub grub and drinks

We were a big group, looked after very well on Saturday night by Beth. She was really friendly and attentive, and we all enjoyed our food. The private room we were in was a lovely setting.

Visited for a quick lunch bite as passing by whilst working. Nice food and good service

Such a lovely pub. The food is amazing and the staff are welcoming, attentive and very helpful. Would highly recommend!

We love it here ! Alison is the best waitress around !! ***** Food is great and the deserts are amazing!! Would recommend for any occasion

Excellent food and great staff that work hard , the Sunday dinner was probably the best one I’ve ever had eating out

Had the seabass and chilli squid, an excellent meal with friendly service from Vicky. Great pub, definitely recommend!

Tasty sea bass and lovely staff. Vicky was very friendly

Amazing service from start to finish. We will be back.

Lovely family meal last minute. Vicky our server was attentive and nothing was too much trouble. An asset to the team. Thank you

Amazing warm and friendly staff , excellent food at a good price . Second visit , from entering to leaving , the whole experience did not disapoint . Food is of a very high standard and very reasonably priced , the establishment is a warm , clean , friendly atmosphere and dog friendly. We were served by the lovely Charley who constantly smiled and looked after all of our needs and requests. Well done team 👏🏼 , see you all again .

Great atmosphere in the honey bee, staff very helpful, food good Alison is very pleasant and willing waitress. 😄 ☕️🍰🍤🥧 🍷🍷🥂🥂

Visited on Sunday for a roast dinner as we were breaking up a journey and it did not disappoint. Being part of Vintage Inns, and our local in Ilkley, we knew we'd be in safe hands. Wow, this place has got the roasts down to a tee, the lamb was absolute perfection. I am a roast snob and I never think anyone does it better than me, but these win, hands down. We'll be in whenever in the area.

Lovely pub lunch and great service from Alison!

The area is gorgeous, much too crowded, they don't take the order at the table, you have to get it yourself from the bar, food is ok, reasonable price

Back on track and staff fantastic. Good wholesome food.

My husband and I visited today after a 2 hour drive home from a camping trip in Shrewsbury - the food was well and truly needed and did not disappoint! We were served by a lovely man named Jon, he was very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Also had time for a little laugh as he was taking orders/ keeping us topped up with drinks. We had the crispy chicken starter, Sunday lunch and finished off with a mini brownie and a brew Left with very happy and stuffed tummies - Will definitely be back

We visited for dinner on Thursday evening. Our first visit in a few months and we were greeted warmly, again by Alice! Thankfully on this occasion she wasn't serving alone. We were looked after by a wonderful waitress called Heather who couldn't do enough for us. Additional drinks offered with our meals and she was so personable with all the other tables in the area. Our meals were cooked to perfection, the lamb rump was absolutely divine. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff on duty and we will certainly try not to leave it so long next time.

We loved the food and the overall atmosphere.

Alice and team were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was spot on. Thank you I will be back!!

They clearly just microwave food, there are not enough staff so the service is shocking and rushed. Would only visit if you want cafe grade food and service.

Great pub, fantastic atmosphere, lovely outdoor seating area, staff are welcoming and service was great

A great meal in a safe environment the staff coped well with current restrictions

Been recommended to go here and it was beautiful, food was delicious, staff were great, we decided to sit outside and you have to collect your own cutlery, I had to go through that basket to find clean cutlery, not little bits of food but big bits, we had starters main and dessert and dessert came out before the main, maybe it was just a bad day there.

A lovely pub with excellent food. Happened to drive past today and stopped for lunch as the garden looked so inviting. Ordered 2 pie and mash. Staff very polite and friendly. Landlady particularly welcoming. Sat outside - plenty of clean tables and chairs nicely arranged with parasols. Food was to a high standard. Highly recommend.

The Honey Bee is comfortable, clean, friendly staff, prompt service, good food and a really nice, relaxed atmosphere, the only thing that could be improved on is maybe change up the menu a bit but thats just a small gripe, over all I really like the place.

Wow, what a pub! Amazing food, lovely service and lovely people. Couldn’t recommend it more to all. We chose the Camembert for starter, what a beautiful pairing with the honey. We also had the signature burger for main and the chicken, bacon and avocado salad. Both were amazing! We will 100% be back. Prices are good too. Thank you for having us.

Had a very pleasant late Sunday lunch here with friends. The carpark was rammed but our table was reserved, we were served quickly and there was plenty of room to sit comfortably. I asked for pork belly but there was none left so opted for the beef instead. It was a good standard pub roast dinner with plenty of veg. Puddings and coffee afterwards were enjoyable too.

Great! Even better that we can enjoy a meal with our pooch. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere!!!

A great place to eat. Excellent service and ambiance. Always book this restaurant before flying out of Manchester.

Lovely Sunday Roast. Alison was fantastic and very attentive despite how busy it was.

Nice food, great atmosphere and fabulous service, definitely coming again!

I love it here such a lovely atmosphere alice and the staff are a lovely bunch will definitely come back soon on our next visit.

Not the best sunday roast, just warm and a mash up of parsnips and cabbage, cold carrots

Lovely meal out tonight. Great service by vicky. Highly recommended
