Lilac Cottage Tapas & Wine Bar in Cheshire East

Disappointed at the small portion of ribs (2). Food is lovely but can’t justify the cost for such small portions. Then made worse by being 30 minutes late

The restaurant was dead. The food was not authentic and clearly all from the freezer. I've never had tapas where the chef puts a side of mayonnaise or barbecue sauce with every dish. Clearly not confident in this food because Spanish food shouldn't need a condiment. The restaurant is beautiful (if you love pink and flowers) and the staff seem really friendly

The food was delicious. Restaurant food at home. Thank you x

Amazing Ribs 🤩 fast delivery & Hot

didn’t even come to the right house. very careless

Been here a few times now and never disappointed. We had a family meal last weekend and it was delicious. Best tapas Iv had in a long time and very reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and great cocktail list. Can also highly recommend the bottomless brunch that Iv had before with friends. Thank you lilac for a wonderful meal. Can’t wait to come back 😊

The food arrived cold as the delivery person got lost, not restaurant fault at all.

Food was below average. Felt like it wasn't cooked fresh to order. We had to ask the waitress several times for basic things like please can you take our order, can we see the dessert menu etc etc Very expensive for what you get. Would not recommend and will not visit again.

Granddaughters birthday with family, excellent food, service and atmosphere. Whole family enjoyed it

Food was average, delivery was good

Nice place for Tapas. Went Sunday Lunch and it was very quiet. Can imagine it’s great when full. Lovely staff.

Food was cold when it arrived and portions were very very small for the price

literally one of the best tapas meals we have had Beautiful food, full of flavour, great service and to top it all we went during Happy hour, 2 4 1 cocktails It was our first visit , most definitely not our last

Went on a leaving Do. We let the owner help us with our choices and ended up with sharing boards to start followed by several dishes that we just shared as well. All the food was delicious. The atmosphere was perfect and we had a lovely time.

Delivery guy was awful, didn’t come to the door, we had nightwear on and he delivered at the top of the road left it on a wet floor in the rain, not happy. Rang restaurant they have asked you to issue a refund, please send the refund asap

Had paella rice was really undercooked 😫 Disappointed

Fantastic place, amazing food and great staff.

such lovely falafel burgers! we will keep coming back

Probably the best Tapas I have had...great food and helpful staff

Not much food at all. £9 for 4 prawns

Absolutely perfect meal tonight at Lilac Cottage. Relaxing vibe, delicious food cooked to perfection, pleasant and attentive service, would definitely recommend a visit. 10/10 from us!

falafel burgers were amazing as always

Slow service Quite a few things off the menu which should have been mentioned immediately not until we were ready to order Average food

We went to the lilac cottage for afternoon tapas but ended up having bottomless brunch with cocktails. Excellent value for money the food was great good service and nice atmosphere. Eating out on the back courtyard had a very nice Mediterranean feel to it. Thanks very much to everyone there.

Excellent meal and very good service.

Not as good as other times we have ordered. Burger did not have sauce or nachos but was still ok. Food arrived like warm so had to be reheated. This is the first time we have had a problem.

falafel burgers were really good! definitely recommend

Great food with excellent delivery service - thank you to all of you

We have used Lilac Cottage many times over the years, this time, taking friends, the table was waiting, but the service very slow, we were asked for our menu choice before the drinks order was taken and even the menu arrived. The speaker music was too loud to talk. The young female singer did very well to entertain. The male waiter seemed lost as to where shared meals would be placed, we had to show and make space... overall, it was a poor night. Here's hoping it was a blip

Amazing food & service! We came in late, the staff were so accommodating, even made us a drink which wasn’t on the menu. Great service, will be back!

Lovely food, cracking service - very good selection of dishes, would certainly come here again

Half my food didn’t arrive. It was over an hour late and stone cold. No answer on phone. So no refund.

Noticed delivery man pass my house then went back to his car he returned about 5 minutes later with food obviously food had gone cold had to microwave it food was good just didn’t like microwaving it

Much improved on my last visit, food choice excellent, good wine, nice team.

Quality tapas, all dishes were full of flavour

The food was stone cold and very late

Always excellent, well presented tasty food

Driver was very polite and even though the address wasn't leading him to the correct place he found it and was still on time.

Really great. The food was so good, staff were friendly and welcoming and were also knowledgeable and very careful and considerate with dietary concerns.

We had a seafood paella which was very nice but a very small serving for two people; it would have been about right for one. We assumed from the price that it was meant to be shared but will know better another time.

Very tasty food, bit on expensive side. And unfortunately was slightly cold when delivered

All the food I tried was incredible. The chef and the staff was very friendly and the experience couldn't be better. Looking forward the next time!

The food is very nice and the staff is gread.🔥🔥 VIVA ESPAÑA!!

I live 5 mins from restaurant and my delivery went from 10 mins away to 25 mins away to lost signal to eventually, after returning to restaurant, arriving cold 50 minutes later.

Food excellent good choice of dishes service very friendly really cosy atmosphere

didnt come to the correct address

We did not receive the peppers we ordered and have not been refunded either, no message was sent to say they were unavailble

Nice place really nice tapas and cocktails and a big paella sharer only minor fault the seafood was not mixed with the rice but on top of it worth going if you are in the area. Brilliant atmosphere and service as well!

food is so good, halloumi fries are delicious, came quickly too

Best. Value. Ever! £25 per head – We had one drink each, and SO MUCH FOOD!!! It just kept on coming?? IncrEDIBLE (pun intended) tapas. Gorgeous decor, fantastic staff (polite, accommodating, attentive, happy to help), just a brilliant experience all round. Will 100% go back and would highly recommend!x

I want a refund I ordered 6 lamb chops and only got 2 The food was all cold

Have ordered from Lilac Cottage a few times now and very happy we found them. Highly recommend the veg paella and the hadron peppers. Great staff and delivery times. Can't fault them 👍🏼

Forgot my chips please refund. Thanks

Came in with a party of 22 for a 40th birthday. Originally 24 but 2 dropped out. From the get go the manager seemed to think there were 27 people in the party and refused to recount when asked. This caused a major fuss with the bill at the end of the night with the manager insisting that the table had to pay £30 extra because the staff had miscounted the numbers. He was very argumentative and refused any solutions we came up with. At the end of what was supposed to be a relaxed 40th celebration, the birthday girl was asked to provide proof that we had paid our deposits prior to the evening, despite my partner providing the deposit in full in June! Apparently the previous manager had been fired and not provided details of prior payments. We were made to feel that our integrity and honesty was being questioned when surely it's the responsibility of the business to keep records of payments made. This put a dampener on the evening and partially spoilt what should have been a memorable celebration. We wrote to the manager directly expressing our disappointment but unfortunately we are still waiting for the courtesy of a reply. It's such a shame because the ambiance and the food, and the other staff were excellent under the circumstances. We have always had positive experiences at this place until now.

Good food and a good range of tapas- loved the calamari especially. Friendly, welcoming staff. The decor here is unusual and a bit dated - but it works! Really good evening - have been before and will definitely be back. Would have given full marks...

First time visiting and definitely won't be my last. The food was amazing, the service was great and the atmosphere was so welcoming and relaxing. The most perfect Sunday family day out. I genuinely cannot flaw my visit and I already can't wait to dine...

Lovely as always, just wish we were closer so it was a little warmer but it tastes great. Great quality food.

Took my wife for her birthday, lovely restaurant and the food was very nice. However, was let down by the fact they were ran out of beer by 6: 30pm. Therefore ordered a Coke, which came in it can priced at 85p but was charged £2.85.

Lovely food, staff very friendly and helpful.

Great food, good efficient and friendly service, extensive menu, we had a variety of tapas and it could not be faulted. Very enjoyable evening meal.

Dined here in May 2022. The staff and food / drink available was amazing. Lovely atmosphere and beautiful cosy restaurant in the middle of the high end town of Prestbury.

Visited last year, everything was delicious, couldn't fault the place. My return visit last week was the complete opposite. Dishes only tapas size. Not last time good portions then. The prawn kebabs this time were ridiculously tiny in comparison to before. 6 pieces of Calamari 2 small kebabs tapas sze rice 3 soft drinks and a coffee. £40!!! Not a garnish in sight 😒😒

We came on Sunday 6 of us the standard of service and food was absolutely fantastic we all had a really fantastic afternoon and we will all certainly ne returning ❤️

The food wasn’t what I expected I didn’t know batatas bravas was served with grated cheese. And the chorizo seemed under cooked and chewy.

Good a little cold but delicious

Very tasty. Hot when received and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Excellent food , great delivery

Four of us enjoyed a delightful, varied lunch at Lilac Cottage on Sunday. We ordered a range of dishes, including a vegetarian paella to share. Every dish was full of flavour. I particularly enjoyed my pork belly and my chilli garlic prawns. The service was excellent and we will certainly be back.

We had about 5 dishes - main reason for the 3 stars is that the dishes had an ok flavour - the bbq pork was tough, the bean salad lacked dressing - portion size was bigger than expected for tapas - price was fine.

We had the most fabulous meal at Lilac Cottage in Prestbury on Saturday evening. Friendly atmosphere, attentive staff and delicious tapas. We’ll be coming again very soon.

This restaurant is a MUST. I read some of the reviews from customers who gave 4 or less stars and I am shocked to say the least. This place does not deserve anything less than 5 STARS. The food is beautiful, fresh and generous in...

Fantastic place, service was very attentive and food was excellent. Sat in the secret garden area and will definitely be going back soon

Gorgeous food, was ready on time and great food

One of the dishes was missing 😞

Absolutely amazing food, even my neighbours popped round and ate some. X

Sadly went to celebrate my daughters Birthday. There were about 13 of us... Food was good, serving staff great... But unfortunately from the start to the end of our 2 hour slot... we were reminded that we must leave at 7! We knew this... but it was quite frustrating being told over & over. We asked to speak to the manager... Wow! Disgusting attitude! He raised his voice over my husbands... Very bad management! We spent a fortune! Will definitely not recommend or return!

My wife and I have wanted to try here for a long time. We are both gutted we left it so long. It’s a lovely place, and the food was delicious. It was very busy, but that didn’t stop us receiving brilliant service. We can’t...

Delicious food, delivered swiftly with a smile.

Visited for a birthday treat as we had been recommended to go The food was exceptional one of us did require GF food where most of the dishes provided for but would have been goid for gf breads As we were there early and missed...

Spent the best afternoon in the lilac cottage, great food, a lovely relaxing atmosphere with excellent staff.

Delicious food and friendly service. Recommend for anyone to try.

food cold didnt eat it cant contact any one want my money back

Amazing restaurant, beautifully decorated. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and we got a tour of the lovely secret garden area too! Lovely family atmosphere, the food was fresh and delicious, and the service was quick. Would recommend!

We sat upstairs as the only table downstairs was too near the door. It was very dark and the decor was dubious - we felt like we were sitting in someone’s bedroom. Service was okay, very friendly but unfortunately a bit slow. Menu was basic...

The food couldn’t have been better! The service was perfect! Atmosphere was great! All the staff were ace! The bottomless was truly bottomless! We couldn’t have a better lunch or a better time anywhere! Utterly memorable & delicious!

The food was lovely. The decor was really nice. The waiters were very friendly and helpful! The only issue I have is that the terms and conditions weren't stated anywhere. I booked for bottomless brunch on 12th Feb for 5th March and it was advertised...

Great food and quick delivery

Lots of small plate dishes in pretty surroundings. Unrushed service. Very relaxing evening

Kind of grubby. Food was actually OK. Staff unaware, rude.

Had a fabulous meal here over Valentines weekend. Chose the Lilac Cottage as I love my tapas and I wasn’t disappointed at all. Firstly, the team had made a real effort with the decor, it was so lovely, there was even a tree of hearts...

Meal we had was the best we've had at this cosy tapas restaurant. Very friendly service.

First visit to this lovely restaurant. It was my daughters birthday and we celebrated with family. Brilliant food excellent service. Each tapas was piping hot and so tasty. Sangria beautifully made. It was so nice we ordered another. Definitely a great recommendation

Arrived Wednesday for lunch. Doors closed and premises shut. Took a walk through the village returned and still shut. This after booking. Contacted them through web page - no reply.

My food has not arrived even though it has apparently been delivered

Very rushed. They throw the food at you straight away. You get the impression that they want you in and out.

Great quality food fast service and top atmosphere a holiday like feel. The food options, top.

I had takeaways from the Lilac Cottage before, but this was the first time in the restaurant. The food we had delivered was always good so it was interesting to see if there was a difference. There was a difference, being fresh out of the kitchen the food was even better! I also found the service to be solid and the staff were friendly and easy to interact with. There was one minor issue, but it was a genuine misunderstanding and was handled very professionally. I will definately be back again

Food and service were excellent. We will definitely be going again.

We had a nice enough evening and the food was good enough. However, The range of tapas in UK is very samey - chorizo, tortilla, calamari. patatas bravas etc. etc. Will they ever try some of the dishes you'd get in Seville or Jerez, the...

Decided to give this place a 2nd chance tonight. My previous order was missing expensive items that took 2 weeks to be refunded via just eat. Had to take to twitter to get it sorted. Tonight again a missing item. I phoned the restaurant straight away who had no intention of putting this right by bringing the missing item. Told me just to contact just eat for a refund. Really disappointing service, won’t be ordering again!
