pub English in Cheshire East

We stopped here for drinks only on a Saturday night out in Macclesfield. Friendly bar staff. Drinks were excellent. The bar was busy but we were served quickly.

We recently celebrated our child’s 7th birthday at the Bate Hall, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The venue was accommodating, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the room set up. The food was another highlight. The staff offered a thoughtful menu that pleased the kids. Overall, Bate Hall provided a fantastic environment for our celebration. The space was clean, safe, and perfectly suited for a kids’ party, with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy themselves. We received so many compliments from the parents about the venue and the wonderful time they had at the bar enjoying drinks, food and playing pool! I highly recommend Bate Hall for any children's event. Their outstanding service and lovely food make it a top choice for a memorable and hassle-free party. Special thanks to Sue & Dale

Attended a Physic Evening last night - the venue was superb with first class catering provided - something I will bear in mind when planning a party! The Dining Room was a perfect private area for any type of event.

Fantastic food staff so friendly landlord and landlady couldn't do enough highly recommended customers also friendly and welcoming 😀

One of the best places for live music and the food is unreal! Always been my go too! And the landlady and landlord are the bestest!!!!

The roast dinner at the bate hall pub was a culinary delight. The roast beef was perfectly cooked, tender, and paired wonderfully with a flavourful Yorkshire pudding. The assortment of roasted vegetables added a delightful touch, and the rich gravy enhanced the overall experience. The cozy pub atmosphere complemented the hearty meal, making it a satisfying and memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a traditional and well-executed roast dinner.

I was in yesterday evening at the same time as the man on the last review drinking with my partner who was drinking the same lager from the same pump..... There was nothing wrong with it at all..... The man was rude and obnoxious to the landlord and barstaff..... Its a shame because they are really friendly and always happy to help customers ensuring you are satisfied with the service. I will definitely be back.....

The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my annoying requests to visit the haunted the staircase! They were busy getting ready for 3 functions that evening. Still made time to chat and indulge us. Lovely place will be going back again on my next visit to Macclesfield.

What a disgusting lndlord for a town pub 3 times I had to take my pint back to the bar due to being flat. Then the landlord had to showt across the pub to say we've been serving beer alll day. Very abusive and nasty landlord who doesn't accept customers. Will never visit again qnd would recomm end that you don't..

Excellent food and good company alongwith great service. I would recommend this hotel for great food and drink.

We had a very positive experience at The Bate Hall Pub in Macclesfield! The cleanliness and welcoming staff contribute to a pleasant atmosphere. We really enjoyed the delicious food, with the lasagne and roast beef dinners standing out as our favourites with plenty of choice on beers and their selections on wine. If you’re seeking tasty food and an inviting dining experience then this pub ticks all those boxes.

Fabulous Sunday lunch and at £13.95 for a 2 course home cooked roast dinner what’s not to love! Service was excellent, the whole place was spotlessly clean and fresh. One of our party had food allergies and this was accommodated with no fuss or issue. Highly recommended!

We have visited before and had poor experiences, popped in last night and the place was imaculately clean, the staff were extremely friendly and the atmosphere was great, some of the locals are extremely good at Karaoke, A great night, we will be back

This grand old establishment deserves a bit of good publicity. Situated in the heart of town. Its clean has a nice menu, large beer garden and the drinks and food are far from overpriced.

Lovely new management and the food was delish highly recommend the chilli and the curry but suspect everything will be tasty! They have specials too and very reasonably priced.

The Bate Hall has recently been taken over by a lovely local couple. We attended a friends 50th birthday party which was fabulous. The place was spotless, lovely clean toilets. Front and back bar both open serving full drinks service. The buffet provided was excellent, lovely and fresh with a great choice to suit all taste buds and dietary preferences. The back room has been completely set up for hosting private functions and weddings and with a super large beer garden in the sun, this is a perfect town centre traditional pub perfect for any occasion. Great food, great service, beautiful historical pub, and a fab landlord and landlady.

Called in on a pub crawl, beer was very average and the place looked a tad grubby. The smell in the toilets was awful. Hopefully the smell is only a short term issue.y

I’m a wheelchair user and sometimes find it hard to actually get into pubs whilst I’m out with friends. I thought this was going to be the case when I got to The Bate Hall last night but they couldn’t have been more helpful. They quickly put a ramp down for me and even made me an easy path to the bathroom. Brilliant people and thankyou for making my night so much easier x

One of Macclesfields oldest coaching houses, The Bate Hall is said to be haunted. So if ghost hunting is your thing, its well worth a visit.

We called in for Saturday lunch and ordered a range of food off the menu. The staff were friendly and efficient and our orders were prompt. Although busy we did not have long to wait and our food was served quickly. I thought the Ham,...
