Lord of the Pies in Cheshire East

We brought some cheese and onion pies to take home, so so tasty, very generous filling; really fabulous quality. We heated them up for 20 mins in the oven. Lovely! Highly recommend; we are going to order some more as they are very good indeed. The Bakewell tart was also good (huge- shared it !) heated up with ready made custard in the microwave -

We went in for lunch the girl in charge said they didn't have any mash as she was waiting for an order. We both had the plough man's I had the cheese pie and my husband had the pork and black pudding.The pies were ok needed a bit of gravy or sauce too much salad.We won't be going back

We stopped here for Pie and mash, it was one of those days were the weather turned your thoughts to stick on your ribs comfort food. We had the Lamb hot pot pie and the beef and ale pie; both good but the beef pie was the better pie. Yummy horseradish mash and mushy peas. The sides are big enough for three people to share.

...of course the pun wouldn't work but you'd be closer to the true level of excellence. Like pies? Like mash? Like friendly service?...This is the place for you.

The pie was nice but not the best I have encountered, the mustered mash was nice but was a very small portion. The bakewell tart was dry and did not feel like it was made fresh that day. Nice meal and I would eat here again I just feel like it could of been much better

Yummy pies with tasty sides and gravy. Pleasant intimate place with excellent service and reasonable value for money. Well recommended.

We've been here a few times and often take some pies home with us but were disappointed with the breakfast. We both chose eggs on sourdough toast with bacon. My scrambled eggs had too much milk added (one of my pet peeves) and the bacon was a bit undercooked. Simple breakfast badly done!

Absolutely love Lord of the Pies, the food is consistently excellent and very reasonably priced, takeaways are great too! We like the variety of pies and the changing specials, they also have some more exciting soft drinks than the norm.

Very tasty and filling pies so much so I only had a half! There is a great range of sides so I suggest getting some to share with whoever you are with as a pie and a whole dish of mash is quite a lot to eat!

We were visiting Macclesfield on a Monday and had checked on TA for suitable cafes for lunch. Unfortunately, because it was Monday some of the good ones were closed and so, in the end, we chose Lord of the Pies.. I chose a pie and my OH chose a toasted sandwich. I am a mean piemaker myself and this did not come up to my exacting standards! The filling was OK, but the shortcrust pastry did not live up to it's name, ie not short, but rather hard!! My OH's sandwich was brie and bacon, not a lot of brie in it and strangely, the bacon was small lardons and not cooked very well. My latte was good, but the Americano was as described by martinaW3945SL, very weak and not particularly a good blend and my OH left it. So, all in all, the Lady of the Pies would not return!

A gem of cafe teased us in... and what a find... It was suggested they flicked the switch on such a lovely sunny day too! 😁 Mac Pie, mushy peas, mash and gravy was delicious! Great friendly and relaxing atmosphere... highly recommended honest tasty pies 🥧... I would have shared a photo of my meal... but I could not resist and munched through it! We will visit again.. and thanks for letting us know you have one in Stockport too! We will be back 👌😊

Only went for a coffee with friends. the flat white was just too milky with no strong coffee flavour I expect from a flat white . I challenged the staff whether 2 shots of coffee were in it and they claimed there was. I suggest if you offer flat whites you learn how to make them properly

I visit roughly once or twice a month and order the same thing - cheese and onion pie - which is always lovely. I like the atmosphere of the cafe and the staff are friendly. The pie with mash, gravy and a pot of tea came to just under £10, which I think is good value.

No problem with the food. Pie, mash and peas x2 and coffee and tea £29. Far to expensive in my opinion. Also you only get a half filled cup of coffee which was an americano. Mad for it!

Had cause to visit this shop today and the pies looked so nice I just had to go back and buy one to take away. I've just eaten the balti chicken for my dinner and it was delicious. Will defo be going back to sample some others.

We each had the (award winning - we were told) beef and blue cheese pies - very nice - mine with (almost cold) mashed potato and gravy. My friend had (very purple) coleslaw. Two cups of coffee. £20 is a tad expensive. Food arrived quickly and staff were OK. Perfectly reaonable quick lunch - but only that - not spectacular.

Have eaten here at lunchtime a few times & will return. The choice of pies is imaginative and varied and the choice of accompaniments good too. The coffee is also excellent, overall brilliant value for lunch that's a bit different

Best kept secret in macclesfield. Pies, service and coffee e celle t, glad I didn't bother waiting in the queues at the other places, peaceful, clean, courteous!!!!!!!!

Me, my mum, my step dad and my sister all came here for Saturday lunch and we we’re amazed! My mum and sister shared a pie and they loved and my step dad has never tasted a more delicious mush peas in his entire life. I had the sausage and mash and that was brilliant the gravy was so nice, very well done

Nipped in for Lunch with the the family, received no menus when we sat down. When we ordered food, I’d ordered a pie to which I paid for to then be told they don’t have any, at the same time I ordered drinks, 15 mins later we asked where the drinks were.... to which the waitress reply was ‘you’ve had your coke, I left it on the side’.... I clearly sat at the table with no drinks in front of us, to which we were told we hadn’t ordered any... when she asked the chef he read them back to her on the check, she brought them over after about a 20 mins and the excuse was she’s been busy with food, we were the last ones in there.... more like sat on her phone talking to the chef.

Good tasty pie - service not so hot - no fork and knife with pie - arrived 10 mins later after I sorted it myself - also cleaned up before finished my tea - they had been very busy but this is the basics

My partner and I love this place! I feel rather guilty for not leaving a review before now as we come all the time & definitely recommend. I've brought various friends & family here & they have all loved it! As a vegetarian I was slightly worried there wouldn't be that many vegetarian options, but it's great to see exciting vegetarian flavours. My particular favourite pie is the vegan'Chorlton pie'& their gravy is vegetarian too!! They also offer really great sharing platters, which are delicious. I can't quite understand a few of the previous reviews saying the portions are small...the pies are the size of the plate?!?! Many be they tried something else though. Lovely vibe & friendly staff, all in all a great place & I'm so glad Macclesfield has somewhere like this!

What’s not to like here friendly staff and great service even when busy great choice of drinks and pies are amazing 👍🏼

This was my second visit to Lord of the Pies - I don’t think you can really recommend a place from a one-off visit normally as anywhere can have good days and bad days, but Lord of the Pies have been consistently exceptional. The food is delicious and I always find it comforting to be able to see the kitchen/chef at work as nothing is being hidden away! The service here is second to none - the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, and they were fantastic with my 2 young children.

Great spot for lunch during the Sunday market. Lovely pies and the ploughman’s option is a great add on. Can’t go wrong

The staff were excellent and the atmosphere was nice - my main issue was the value of money. I had a lovely beef and stilton pie which was delicious but, at near enough £5 for a small pie, it should be! Sides were £2.50 each but don't bother - utter rip off. Portion sizes were minuscule so not worth having. The food and ambience were nice but I could see why it was so quiet for a lovely sunny day - price!! I don't mind paying £14 for lunch but I do expect it to be a hearty full plate at that price - everything I ate fit on to a small side plate. People around me were saying the same thing. If you are feeling flush and you want a nice pie, get down there :)

We used to go for lunch at the Stockport shop only to find after a few visits that they seem to have put the price of their pies up. Very nice pies with a small serving of mash but not good value for money. We stopped going for that reason which was a shame. The same with the Macclesfield shop.

Reviewed this place a couple of years ago where we had poor service, and commented then that they were perhaps having a bad day. Have visited several more times since and that assessment was correct. The food is great and the service has been good on all other occasions with friendly staff. Reasonable prices and also had a very good corporate catering experience from these guys.

I went to Macclesfield with two friends on a Sunday and just called in for cakes and coffee which were very good and good value. We noticed the award-winning selection of pies on the menu so next time we will try them.

Brilliant pies they have that down and good choice of soft and alcoholic drinks. You can get a buggy in but the baby change is in the one toilet they have so a bit tricky and it’s super cold in there this time of year.

One of several cafes on Chestergate in Macclesfield - came for breakfast. Daughter had a bacon ciabatta (locally baked) and we shared an amazing Bakewell Tart with custard. Nice place and the pies look amazing.

Came here for lunch with my brother. Found a table ourselves (not the best service) had pie,mash & gravy. To be honest it was a tiny bit pricey. Took ages to arrive and i had a beer and for the price i expected a pint not a bottle. £3.65 i think for a bottle of beer is a joke. Either way the pie was very nice and i liked the funky decor. Also should discount if taking away.

I had heard a lot of nice things about this quirky new food outlet in town, so after shopping in town I checked it out.

Having used LOTP regularly when I used to work in the Town I decided to take my partner here on a days shopping in town.We were eating lateish about 2.15, due to our schedule that day, and we expected to get served quite quickly due to the fact that the pies are already made and sat in the chilled display.

We visited at lunchtime on 29th January, totally impressed all round, friendly service, great coffee and carrot cake... the crowning glory, though, was the sausage roll, delicious filling and excellent, crisp pastry... we will certainly return, next time for a meal and pies which looked delicious. Thanks for making my partner's lunchtime birthday treat really special!

Found it on maps.me and the name made me want to go. Was getting hungry and fancied a pie. Must say the person serving was very friendly and helpful and the food was very good indeed. Wasn’t expensive either. Highly recommended

I work locally so came here for lunch recently - tried the 'award winning' lamb and red wine pie, with braised red cabbage on the side.

Booked in advance. Left my number. Told them I had friends visiting. Walked to the venue in the cold. Closed. If you cannot text your customers who have reserved a table to tell them you're not opening then you shouldn't be in business.

This place is great, if you want some good comfort food . Loads of choices of pie then add mash and mushy peas, job done. Pies are large and tasty. They sell house red and white wine, along with I few artisan beers. Place on the small side, but that is not a problem. Would recommend this place to anyone if you want none of your fancy restaurant food and prices. Shame they stopped opening at night time.

Great selection of pies to eat in or take away (hot or cold) I would recommend the Macc Pie, it was delicious!

I popped in here and ordered an Americano, sparkling water, egg and bacon on sourdough bread. The americano arrived with no teaspoon, and the water never arrived at all. The meal was nice enough though. I told the girl on the till who took my original order, that the water never arrived. She said 'oh' , I paid my bill, and she didn't smile or say thankyou. The food in the shop look really nice, but let down by the girl taking orders and on the till. I would not be in a rush to return. Was going to bring friends for brunch next Sunday, but this girl was so rubbish, it's put me off.

Great quirky cafe and option for takeaway. Food served is delicious especially the spicy beans. Prices are good value for money. I also noticed they do gift boxes for Father's Day/other occasions - thought that was a nice idea! Will continue to visit :)

You can find a different range of pies here and they seem to be larger than the super market one.. implying they are hand made.

It's place with award winning English pies. Try it even if you think English pies are worthless. Very traditional and nice food. Try Macc's pie.

Following the previous reviews we decided to have a late lunch. There were not many pies to choose from but we accepted that at 2.45 we were a bit late. However the food was dreadful.

There's no wonder this place has won awards for its pies! It's one of my favourite places to eat all the pies are amazing and the sides are perfect. The pie salad was a first for me a few weeks back but I am converted, the red cabbage slaw is very special. It annoys me when I see reviews of idiots that say it's expensive it's not at all , you pay for it's quality ingredients. My advice if you think it's expensive you belong in greggs!!! Can't recommend this place enough. Now with the new Chorlton shop open I might be visiting even more. All three shops are consistently good and the staff are excellent. This is a business that prides its self on quality which is nice to see these days. Weekly specials are always worth a visit just to try, this week was jerk chicken ! 9/10 - had a cheese and ham ploughmans at Chorlton the other week it was out of this world 9.9/10 -

I would not normally go out for a pie but went for lunch with a work colleague. Was really surprised at the variety and also some with lower calorie options.

Lovely atmosphere with a good choice of pies, other meals are available too, but if you love pies, this little place serves some of the best with gravy too

Excellent fathers day lunch, with Pie and Mash and a nice cold beer to wash it down. Service was great. Even took a couple of pies home for a later date they are that good!

Popped in for a breakfast, absolutely delicious and fresh, poached eggs, black pudding, beautiful bacon & sausage (sausages were cooked perfectly) and to keep bean separators happy, they were served in a separate pot. Great sourdough toast on the side & lovely coffee.....sure we will revisit!

Parents discovered this place on Sunday afternoon out. Pies sampled... Chicken and mushroom, the Macc pie and Beef & ale. Red cabbage was just the best I've ever had. Funky cafe interior and served on enamel plates. Highly recommended.

This was my first try even though I live in the town. We ate lunch here and it was tasty and good value. The surroundings are ok but the lady serving was quite offhand with us. Not sure what that was about but I'll probably give them another go.

So, a couple of weeks ago I wrote a review of Lord of the Pies. I tried to make it as neutral as I could, as there were some good elements and bad elements. I said I would write another review when I had the opportunity to try one of their pies instead of a sausage roll. Today, that opportunity presented itself.

I've been a number of times and took my wife and son for lunch which all came to £20 which was reasonable. The Macc Pie is my normal choice but went for a butter pie which was just as nice.

Organised a private party to celebrate husband's 30th birthday in January. There were around 30 guests and the restaurant has been absolutely fantastic with our pre-orders and contact over the phone and Facebook messenger. The party was great - all our guests enjoyed the food and the lovely atmosphere.

Paid our first visit to Lord of the Pies today. On arrival it was a warm and friendly atmosphere. We all ordered different pies and sides. And all the family loved them. We shall be visiting again very soon. And the staff were very polite and friendly. Now you have read this get yourself to the Lord of Pies you won't regret it.

This is my first ever review on Tripadvisor, and I don't want it to be negative, so I've chosen a neutral stance.

We went here the other day whilst we were in Macclesfield. It's great! We had a cheese and onion pie which was delicious! It's reasonably priced and has some great pies to try! :)

One of the few places open on a Sunday. My son and his wife have just moved to Macc and we were visiting for the first time. Just looking for somewhere to eat. If you like pies this is the place. Nicely served and very tasty high end price for a pie but lovely for a change and good quality

First time visiting Lord of the pies. Was really impressed with the selection of the pies and the service. Had the beef and blue cheese with cheesy mash. The pie was hot and fresh and tasted really good. I even ended up leaving with a few for my family.

I diet continuously. I eat salad all year round.

What a find not been to Macclesfield in ages and stopped here for a late lunch great surroundings and pies to die for we had a 2 pie platters between 4 of us and we're stuffed. We had confit pork and black pudding pie and a beef and blue cheese each platter came with generous chunks of blue cheese, cheddar and Brie. Chunky wedge chips salad pickles and chutney so filling and beautiful. I would recommend here to anyone.

Simple food exceptionally well done. Great service and excellent value. Can't wait to go again! Will try a different pie next time.

We have visited many times since the restaurant opened. At the weekend we just fancied one of their Macc pies maybe with some mushy peas, we weren't disappointed. I have just one criticism though, with the pies (my wife had a seasonal turkey pie) we wanted a bottle of a particular locally made beer. They didn't have any in stock but the young waitress (bless her) recommended a bottle of Bollington Best and said it was similar to the one we wanted so we gave it a try. My complaint is that the beer was so good we will have to buy some more. I wish they did a trip advisor for beer, it could be called sip advisor or sup advisor. Great place highly recommended

Good choice and atmosphere is brill. Service is friendly. Pricing slightly high but more than justified by quality of food

Came in with the mrs on a very busy Thursday lunch time, we were lucky enough to grab a table. Great aesthetic, welcoming vibe and most importantly a fantastic pie! We both went for the Lamb and both thought it was fantastic. Will definitely recommend!

I have been here for lunch with my friends and I am very happy. We had 3 different lovely pies. Staff is very kind(se were so happy because she can speak a little bit of italian:-) )and very fast. Great !!!

Must visit for pie lovers. Good selection of pies I went for the beef and blue cheese pie which was delicious with mustard mash. There's Nothing like this place in the local area. Will defo be back!

had a long wait and very expensive although the pies are nice and the idea is unique. not much for children and could do with some toys and a childrens menu

Called here as our usual stop stated they were only doing drinks and cake then walked away so we did too. Far different story at Lord of the Pies pleasant welcome excellent attentive but unobtrusive service. I had the lamb pie mustard mash with braised red cabbage. Absolutely fantastic. Wonderfull flavours. I am told the warming butternut squash soup and bread was delicious. Very good value indeed.

The shared platter was a sound choice. Some interesting beers. Excellent service. One unisex loo rather inadequate for the premises, but it was clean and serviceable.

Superb, independently run pie cafe in the heart of Macclesfield. Very sociable, nice ambience, nice decor, good service. Great variety of pies and unique beverages - teas, coffee, soft drinks, beers. Food and drink to suit everyone. Good value for money. A lot of careful thought has gone into the running of this cafe. I frequently visit. Just what the town needs.

A nice place to eat and good to see so many old architectural items sourced from the former mills have been recycled to make the the place interesting. There was a good atmoshere , the pies tasted very good but a little pricey.

Been here on a couple of occasions and on both times have been very happy with the quality and taste of the pies. We have tried curry pies/steak and cheese pies etc and all of them have clarified why they have won so many awards.

If your looking for a good place to eat in Macclesfield you have found it here! Great choice of pies and accompanying side dishes. Garvey is amazing, pies are tasty, mash is spot on.

We had a last minute late lunch this afternoon at lord of the pies, Macclesfield the waitress was warm and friendly ,they have a very nice menu with plenty of choices and catering for options with vegans and gluten free diets as well. My partner chose the beef and stilton pie, which I fancied myself but he beat me to it, so I chose the pork and black pudding pie, we had one side of mustard mash and one side of braised red cabbage with side of a red wine gravy, which was plenty for two meals. Washed down with a very generous small glass of red and a beer. Thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful, not a single complaint, highly recommend and a tenner each for a cooked meal and drink can't be bad for a lovely sunny late lunch.

The food here is brilliant. Simple food, made with quality ingredients and a fair amount of skill makes for a great visit. Well worth a visit and heartily recommended to anyone.

Popped into Lord of the Pies on Saturday when it was a really wet & windy afternoon but once inside I forgot about the weather, warm & friendly welcome as always.

My word. A pie lovers dream of an establishment. Went here when staying with family in Macc. Really should've tried here first but have to admit it wasn't where we tried to get in first but should've been! Fantastic choice of pie on offer. I went for the pork and black pudding I think, which was delicious. Served in great dishes the food was prompt, fresh, hot and tasty. Personally this particular branch of family will be getting more frequent visits due to Lord of the Pies! I've made it my mission to 'do the menu' by the end of next year!!

The pies are outstanding and great quality for the price.

Great little place with a fabulous menu. We shared a platter and everything was spot on. So much so we are ordering pies in bulk for our wedding reception! Can't say fairer than that!

Great little restaurant, fantastic service every time. The pies are second to none, love the way it's all served on an emamal plate and all for a very good price ☺☺

I had the steak&ale; with mushrooms pie, with a side of mushy peas. Enjoyed it to the last bite. Crust is crispy and melts in your mouth, without being greasy or stodgy. They also have soup, sandwiches and other options on the menu, including vegetarian and gluten free. People also come here just for coffee and cake. Great vintage looking ambience with great care of details. Staff was very friendly. I highly recommend this place!

Wow! Just had lunch and it was gorgeous! Lovely chicken balti pie and gorgeous cheese board! Brie was fantastic just right and squidgy,butter was soft to spread, blue cheese was tangy but not too tangy and cheddar lovely! Served with red cabbage and sweet pickled onions and caramelised chutney! My son and I will definitely be back. The elderflower drink was great too! Oh, and the loo was so clean, soap smelled yummy! Thank you LORD OF THE PIES

Came today for lunch with some friends. They had been before and highly recommended it.

Visiting Macc for a Barnaby evening show.

We have just returned home after a visit to Lord of the Pies in Macclesfield. It was a special 18th birthday meal for our son Ethan. The food was great as was the service and we had a lovely evening. What made the evening really special was the bespoke pork and black pudding 'birthday pie' we ordered to bring home with us, which was hand made especially for Ethan and they even put his name on it!! with balloons on the table, really helpful and friendly staff and a good selection of local beers we had a night that we will not forget.

Very impressed. I ordered the wrong food. Can't stand mushrooms. These guys fixed it right away and the Mrs was very impressed with her salad too. Daughter had a fab milkshake.

This is a lovely place to eat at Lunch or dinner time. The choice of pies is wide ranging and each one we have tried so far is delicious. The side dishes are great and a really good size, the coleslaw is especially tasty. The welcome is friendly and un-rushed. We have been a few time and thoroughly enjoyed each visit, plus a couple of takeaways.

Restaurant is ok for small groups, probably difficult to accommodate groups of more than 6 without feeling like a battery hen. Food is reasonably nice and well priced. Service was shocking. To consider it's just pies and mash. Some of our group had finished meals before others food had arrived. Not all requested dishes arrived. Fairly annoying that neither of the pig pie options were available when we visited. A lady and man came in for takeaway and we're looking particularly dejected in their wait time - probably had no lunch break left by the time they received their fodder. Maybe they were having a bad day, but need to do significantly better.

had a lovely saturday lunch in the sun here a couple of weeks ago!

Visited today with my husband (Pete Valentine aka George Michael) We'll definately be back - yummy pies (& veggie options for me) Thanks Caroline Valentine :)

Been here twice now. The pies are so tasty, lots of different fillings all served with horseradish mash, mushy peas and red cabbage. The waiting staff are so nice. The restaurant itself is spotlessly clean. Well worth a visit......arrive with a good appetite!

I certainly would - fantastic pie shop with great range of different gorgeous pies and great coffee. Just as good taking them home as eating in. Chicken/wine/butter bean one amazing. Beef and blue cheese great too. Yum.

The best pies in Macclesfield! A nice restaurant with a great selection of pies. Nice friendly helpful staff. The lamb pie is my favourite.

Amazing quality pies, friendly staff the best mushy peas ever.

Pies. Pies are great. I'm not eating a pie currently, but if I was, then life would be considerably less miserable. I have eaten a pie recently though, from this very establishment, and let me tell you, it was a *good* pie. It was filled with meat and wrapped in a pastry prison, which legally makes it a pie by UK law. If this shop was a boat in international waters, they could wrap the meat up in a dirty cloth, and it would be a pie by maritime law, but luckily they didn't, which is OK by me.

We needed somewhere for a quick lunch in Macclesfield town centre and my colleague suggested Lord Of The Pies as he had seen some good reviews (and queues when it first opened). I was slightly hesitant as I can't eat pastry but was reassured that there were gluten free options. Ok so it was more of a hot pot than a pie - but it was beautiful. Would definitely go back.

nice decor, good service, delicious pies but extras are bit on expensive side chips would be a good side dish and mash very small portion for a guy

We sat in the cosy back listening to the rain filling our tummies with the most delicious pie and mash. Couple of recommended ales to wash it down while the kids had a fantastic choice of soft drinks to choose from . Friendly service and great vibe. Really hope this place lasts. Good luck guys. Everyone should try it at least once ..
