A lovely welcome, super friendly and efficient staff. Good, old-fashioned pub grub; I had liver, bacon, and mustard mash, all of which was delicious, and washed it down with some excellent, hand pulled Robinson's ales. We will be back!

Lovely welcome in this pub, the landlady went out of her way to help two hikers, we can’t thank her enough. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Came here with my mum and her friends on a weekend away, they enjoyed it so much on their first visit on the Thursday, they cancelled our other reservation so they could return on the Sunday with me in tow! Wonderfully generous portion sizes, super tasty food, and such lovely staff. Hopefully we can return in future!

Stopped in for an early dinner and a pint. The staff were brilliant and friendly. Had a great pint of Robinsons Unicorn and ordered the Gammon, egg and chips. It also came with great onion rings, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms. Huge meal that was totally delicious. Everything was just right.

Traditional country pub, food was very good and good portions. I had the beef in red wine sauce which was great. Service very friendly and not pushy. I will definitely be going back and would recommend this establishment ☺️

Good food great service and a nice atmosphere

Always welcoming, and always a good pint.

Beautiful pub, wonderful food...it's a regular to many.

Amazing little pub close (ten minute walk) to the Macclesfield canal. We visited several times while we were in the area. Amazing food (with excellent gluten-free options and knowledge) and a really friendly team!

Excellent food and service. Greeted with a warm welcome and friendly staff

Great country pub, good selection of beer and quality food

Great food. Lovely friendly service. Typical local pub atmosphere. I love this place.

Lovely pub in a lovely location. Excellent customer service. These days it is rare to come across good old fashioned customer service but here they excel at it! Great home cooked food and a lovely atmosphere! Simply fantastic!

Could not fault our visit. We were greeted as we entered and made very welcome. Service was fantastic polite and attentive. Food was delicious. Soup starters followed by liver bacon onion gravy mash and veg 😋 😋 plaice mash and veg 😋😋 both meals spot on .. very good portions and value for money. If you want good food with great service and a very warm welcome this is the place👍 we will be going back.

Proper froendly 'local' pub. Suprb food and great hosts. I love it here - often eat outside where there is a safe and secure children's play area.

Best place for food and atmosphere on a summer's evening.

Excellent food! Good for kids, nice play area.

A completely 'by chance' drop in , due to a missed turning of a diversion. No table booked, but made most welcome and the enjoyed a fine pub lunch.

Lovely, tiny country pub. Not much in the way of tables so definitely advisable to book ahead. Extremely friendly staff, decent pricing.

Visiting as a family group of 7. From reaching out on Messenger to enquire about Father's Day and hetting a helpful and prompt reply, to the warm welcome at the bar, the very friendly waitress, huge and delicious portions, to the final farewell. Cannot fault this place! Hope to be back soon!

We came across this little gem while driving past it the other week, decided to call in today for food and drink… Absolutely beautiful food, all homemade and well what can I say.. Gorgeous… The staff were pleasant and couldn’t do enough for you to make you feel welcome… Will most definitely be visiting here again soon… Well done to you and your team ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visited for Father's Day lunch with daughter and son in law. Fantastic meal, fantastic service and great price. One of our very favourite pubs.

Lots of homemade food choices which were fabulous!! Really friendly service. Make sure you book, it gets busy.

4 of us. Only had mains which were delicious and large. £90 total about right. Couldn't face dessert, too full. Will be back

Stopped here for lunch on a ride around Astbury, lovely pub, very pleasant friendly staff and excellent food ! Will be calling in again in the future, highly recommended 👌

Haven't been for years so thought a visit was needed. The weather was good so I sat outside, went in to order the staff were friendly and attentive, ordered drinks ask if I was eating and said I was so started a tab. The food was freshly cooked and delish. I had a bacon burger it was a thick patty, my friend had cheese omelette salad and chips and she enjoyed her meal. A good selection of beers to try if not driving. It was a lovely country pub to visit on an evening like it was. I'd definitely go back soon.

Absolutely fantastic food, I asked for a smaller portion of main meal and pudding and pudding and they did this for, would 100% recommend

Good friendly staff lovely chips and shoutout to my mum (Melanie) top quality service greatest horseshoe member of all time x😎😎💪🏻💪🏻

My third time here, the food is home cooked and amazing, the staff are super helpful and friendly, 9 of us went for a family meal, the kids were seved food first that wasn't too hot, we spilt a drink and it wasn't a problem(apologies), a great experience and very helpful, will be returning 😀

Always love going the Horseshoe for a quiet pint outside and they've got a nice little play area.

Woundersful cooked food always served with a smile. Never had a bad meal.

Great pub, food and friendly staff

Good tasty food and friendly stafff

Wonderful bean chilli, freshly homemade. Lovely, small traditional pub, not too far from the canal.

This is a great location not far from Mow-Cop, great parking and plenty of outside sitting ( when the weather improves ) there is a good choice of pub food and drink. Service is second to none, give it a try and then burn off those calories with a country side walk

As two couples we enjoyed a delicious meal. We were warmly greeted on our arrival by Mel and shown to our table. The meals were delicious and in particular, the steak pie and braised steak. Mel, who served us, was a ray of sunshine and very efficient. A credit to the restaurant. Will definitely return.

Visted as a group and some changes to the preorders were made which was great although the food for vegan and vegetarians is extremely limited. Moderately priced food and for meat eaters a good menu.

Decent pub with very friendly and efficient owners and waiting team. Relatively small inside, good sized beer garden. Interior feels a bit dated. Food quantities are huge and decent pub grub.

Good friendly pub with good food at a reasonable price. What more could anyone want. Excellent

Excellent quality and service. Very friendly and relaxing atmosphere.

Arrived after going through flooded roads to be greeted by smiling and friendly staff Food excellent lovely atmosphere

Great food and service from friendly staff in a cosy English country pub environment, recommended! 👍

Nice friendly pub with a great atmosphere

Went here one summer lunchtime and the food and service was great but alas not this evening. What a great disappointment. Obviously short staffed as the staff were running around like headless chickens and the fish in beer batter was more crispy batter than fish as the fish was so thin. The salmon was ok but the batter and chips were a big let down. I don’t do bad reviews but felt I had to this review….

Lovely meal and good service with very friendly staff .Will definitely go again

Lovely friendly pub with delicious home cooked food

Such a lovely pub, friendly accommodating staff and Brill food and good selection of drinks. Will definitely be coming back!

Meal fantastic along with the service really nice family pub x

Just popped in for a drink lovely pub

The best braised steak you can have!

A family run concern, the landlord and landlady are really nice people. Food is excellent and the staff work very hard to make your visit enjoyable. We'll worth a visit, especially for Sunday lunch 😋

First visit to this lovely pub great atmosphere and really busy ! Food menu had loads of choice and presentation was great There is also a lovely outside where you can sit under cover Will definitely be going there again !

Called on speck this evening. We were found a table and made to feel right at home. We had the steak pie. It was really nice and it had proper homemade pastry, not like the usual frozen flakey pastry cut to fit on the top of a dish of stewing steak. I had apple crumble and Harry had rhubarb crumble both with custard. Both very nice. We will definitely be back for more

Called by chance for lunch. A lovely olde worlde pub staffed by very friendly and helpful people. Great atmosphere . Ample parking nearby. Set in a lovely country area, with canal nearby. There is plenty of indoor and outside seating and tables, with a lovely beer garden. Child and dog friendly with a play area for the kids to enjoy. The food is plentiful and well priced. Great selection of alcoholic and soft drinks available. There is at least one trad cask ale on the bar. Food is served lunch and evenings. A warm welcome is assured.

We have eaten here three times (two Sunday lunches and mid -week evening meal) in recent weeks, what a refreshing change from the formulaic pub carvery. The hosts are great and the food is too. A lovely traditional pub not many left like it these days. This is a credit to the couple who manage it, so well done to one and all staff. The beer is well kept absolutely spot on. I hope to return here many times in the future.

Absolutely fantastic food and service and helped us as my step daughter is gluten free would highly recommend the Horse Shoe to anyone

Busy Father's Day. Very busy staff but all helpful and obliging. Delicious food and served with a smile. Recommended

Excellent food choices, nice outside play area.

It is a beautiful place for a lovely meal out, food was excellent and staff lovely, we both had the steak pie 😁

Nice pub, on the expensive side

We had Canadian relatives staying for a few days. First meal out was 'menu formula food' - ok but far from cheap and not particularly good value. The pub had been fully modernised according to brewery policy, making it just like all other formula pubs in the chain. The external facilities, however, were excellent. Identifying the manager was impossible. The Horseshoe Inn belongs to the same brewery, but was the exact opposite. Our experience was brilliant! Greeted by the most friendly and helpful lady tenant (presumably), who found us a table for 6 in a small pub with great atmosphere! Fabulous home cooked food with ingredients sourced by the landlady and cooked from scratch was presented. The only complaint was the steak, which was a bit overcooked. However, give me a proper pub any time!

Absolutely amazing loved everything thanks you x

Excellent food and friendly staff Brilliant play area for kids also Highly recommend

We have visited 3 times recently, this is a truly brilliant Robinsons pub. Really friendly service, good beer, good food with generous portions (quality traditional grub) and a great garden with play area. We'll be back again soon!

Brilliant staff great service outstanding food really very nice

Top food, top pints. Can’t beat a Robinson’s Dizzy Blonde!

If you're looking for the perfect place to unwind and indulge in some truly scrumptious food, look no further than The Horseshoe Inn. My recent visit to this cozy establishment left me thoroughly impressed, with its exceptional food and top-notch service. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The charming decor and inviting ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable experience. My server, James Gilda, went above and beyond to make sure my evening was nothing short of amazing. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm for his job shone through, making my visit all the more enjoyable. Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the food. The Horseshow Inn boasts an extensive and diverse menu that caters to a wide range of tastes. But what truly sets it apart is the incredible quality of the dishes. Every bite was an explosion of flavor, expertly crafted by their talented chefs. It was evident that a great deal of care and passion went into each dish, making it an absolute delight to savor. In conclusion, I cannot recommend The Horseshoe Inn highly enough. Between the delicious food and the phenomenal service from James and the rest of the staff, it's truly a standout establishment that will leave you eager to return. Do yourself a favor and pay them a visit – you won't be disappointed!

Great pint, great menu, and great people!

Great pub with a lovley selection of Beers, Food is amazing and the staff are excellent, will definitely be going back!

Customer service at its best balancing the warmest of welcomes with a friendly efficiency together with lovely food. A credit & shining example of everything you want from the Hospitality sector.

Rural pub in Cheshire, with good food including daily specials, and real ale (cask Robinson's and guest beers). Staff very friendly and helpful, and 'locals' also very welcoming to visitors. Large car park across the road

A really lovely meal staff were so pleasant and very friendly would highly recommend and we will definetly go back.

Very friendly! The food was superb! We all left feeling very full and satisfied from a lovely afternoon!

We have just come back from a meal there for my grandsons 1st birthday. Absolutely fantastic food and the lady that served us was amazing. Really friendly and made us all feel so special x

Absolute delicious home cooked food, friendly atmosphere, and there's a garden to sit out in on sunny days, a little play area for children and a children's menu, I've been back several times due to the good food.

Excellent Sunday Roast- we had the lamb on the bone- cooked to perfection!

We had an absolutely brilliant roast here! The food was beautifully cooked and very generous portion sizes. The service was very welcoming and created a lovely atmosphere. We will certainly be back!
