Ryles Arms in Cheshire East

Great place, great food and service. One star knocked off for the lady shaking a charity bucket in my face half way through the meal. There is a time and a place for charitable causes, being harassed during a meal out with your family is not one them. Please consider your customer experience and reason for visiting with more detail.

Best pub grub about for me with great service. Never had a bad meal & the service & staff are just as good 👍

Ordered nachos with vegan cheese. Food arrived and we were advised "sorry we are out of vegan cheese" so food was presented without cheese? The option to order something else would have been nice.

I had never been there up to September of this year since then I have been 3 times with my family and once with my luncheon friends my family and I are booking again for January the food is delious and the portions are worth every penny the staff were very efficient and very helpful and friendly lovely with us thank you can't wait to go again highly recommend

Once more a fabulous time with lovely food and great service didn’t see the rooms this time but they are usually very good Excellent venue

Disappointed with the food considering the cost of it. Looked at the menu in advance, however the prices online didn't match the bill. Won't be returning.

We stopped in for early dinner after a walk. We had the fillet steak with Stilton sauce. It was absolutely divine, cooked bleu. Very attentive service, and great atmosphere 👏

Beautiful meal as always, the goats cheese starter was divine, staff as always were fab, a lovely birthday night out. The Ryles Arms never disappoints.

First visit for Sunday lunch...it won't be our last. Recommended to me by a friend who goes regularly. We just love everything about this place. Warm friendly staff, excellent food, beautiful inside plus a beautiful location, what more can you wish for ....5*

Been coming here for years the food and staff has always been Fantastic. Would highly recommend.One very happy customer.

Stayed here for the first time this week and really loved it, beautiful pub and rooms with outstanding food. The breakfasts were excellent as was the room. Evening meals were also outstanding. Staff were really great, very welcoming and super to deal with.

Had a family stay over and I have been before. The service as always was exceptional. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are cosy, immaculately clean and have state of the art showers. The food was OK. My steak was excellent, but my wife's pie was bought in (pieminster) and overcooked. (Hard dry crust and all the gravy had dried up inside). I don't really want to go out to eat a pie I could buy at the supermarket. They used to make their own pies and they were wonderful. Another member of our party had overcooked sea bream that was like cardboard.

I was looking for a small lunch and everywhere around seemed to be shut on a Monday! This place saved me, a few veggie options. The baked mushroom starter with cheese and garlic bread was delicious! The staff were friendly and nice view too. Would come again.

8 people have had the most amazing service from Fleur this evening . The food was so tasty and served with a smile from all the waiters We have really enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thank you everyone especially Fleur. Who sang happy birthday to 2 ladies in our party From Marisa and Chris xxx⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Relaxed and welcoming staff. Meals cooked and presented with care.

Not sure why this place is so highly rated. IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! The allergen information provided was contradictory and could have led to a dangerous situation. When we raised this concern, the manager hid behind "government protocols" rather than addressing the clear issue. Absolutely appalling experience at this restaurant. The food was not only substandard but every dish we ordered was poorly prepared, with burnt vegetables, stale pie, and a so-called "vegan" burger that was nothing more than a tasteless vegetable patty. The management's response? Arrogant, dismissive, and entirely uninterested in taking responsibility for their kitchen’s failures. Instead of offering a single apology, he had the audacity to suggest we should have interrupted an emotional meal, meant to honour a deceased loved one. I will never return, and I strongly urge others to avoid this place. The management clearly does not care about customer safety or satisfaction. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values its customers.

Cod mornay...wonderful...service wonderful .. great place to eat.

Went for lunch a couple of weeks ago. Great welcome and service. Food...Liver and Bacon and Cod Mornay... delicious and great portions!! Have returned twice since, once with my inlaws and once with my wife. Food hasn't disappointed at all....in fact it has been outstanding. Has become the "go to" place to take friends and family for that special experience. Great venue, great staff and great food. Just don't tell anyone so there is always a table free for us.

Good varied menu and large portions. My wife had Thai chicken skewer and I had minted lamb pie, both delicious (good to see a proper pie). We both had a sundee afterwards. Seemed that all the ladies were celebrating a birthday. Pity we do not live in the area because we would be regulars.

Beautiful food, great vibes in a beautiful location

Loverly destination the steaks are superb. Rooms are modern.

Absolutely fantastic food, honestly the best fish and chips I have ever had! I was famished after a long hike in the area and stopped off with some of my best mates for a huge meal and a pint. The beer selection was lovely, and the fish and chips was so huge I could barely finish it even after burning nearly 2,500 calories that day! Couldn't recommend enough.

Went here for a family meal the setting was lovely unfortunately the food was not. Mushroom stroganoff was bland and contained not one mushroom. Both steak pies were overcooked and dry. Wine I felt was overpriced for a pub setting at around £30 a bottle Creme brulé was just runny custard. The stroganoff was taken off the bill but the experience was spoilt by the lack of cooking skills. Staff were pleasant but due to the food we won't be returning.

I don't know how there are so many 5 star reviews. Went for a family meal. Food was mediocre at best. Pies were overcooked, meat burnt. Fish just came with awful tasting chips. Deserts were plain, no taste. The creme brulé was just runny custard. Cheese cake was tiny amount of biscuits followed by a mousse on top! Won't be returning. Service was very good though just a shame the chef can't cook

A lovely pub in the countryside. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent. Good sized portions, very well prepared and presented. A definite recomend and one that we will be going back to

I ordered a Beef Stroganoff but was served a small portion of Peppers Stroganoff with a pile of chips, rice and garlic bread (Peppers Stroganoff wasn't actually a dish on the menu, but that's what I got). There was some beef lurking in the rather measly serving of Stroganoff sauce, but it took some finding. What was served up bore absolutely no relation to the same delicious, generous-sized dish I ordered last year. Management didn't think there was anything wrong with my meal and the two owners didn't even have the courtesy of replying to my letters about the dish fiasco. All in all, an abysmal experience. Photos are of the "Peppers Stroganoff" and last year's dish that has been mostly consumed. See Tripadvisor for a full review.

Fantastic meal as always ..staff were amazing and can’t wait for our next visit 🤩

The first photo shows a meal I was served at the Ryles Arms recently. Can you identify it? Well, 2/3 of the plate is covered in carbohydrates - chips, rice, garlic bread - which doesn't give much of a clue. So what about the remainder? There are several long thin strips of something lightly coated in a sauce, accompanied by other saucy bits and pieces. How about a small Peppers Stroganoff loaded with carbs? Not a million miles away - it's actually a large Beef Stroganoff! Yes, really - a Beef Stroganoff! There were some small pieces of beef tucked away, but they took some finding. Note that there used to be two portion sizes on the menu - small and large - but I was told they now only serve the large portion. This wasn't the first time I'd ordered this dish at Ryles; I had thoroughly enjoyed it last year - so you can imagine my surprise and disappointment. A photo of last year's version, albeit three quarters consumed, is shown for comparison - notice how the garlic bread is served separately, allowing for more room for stroganoff. Given that I'd previously enjoyed meals at the Ryles before, I hesitated before writing this review. In fact, I emailed management to give them an opportunity to resolve the situation. Unfortunately they were in denial and didn't see anything wrong with the Peppers Stroganoff - sorry Beef Stroganoff (an image of management's anonymous response is attached). So I then gave the two owners an opportunity to right the situation; I sent them letters using Royal Mail Signed For 1st class and supplied my email address. The letters were received and signed for. Three weeks later I've still heard nothing from them. The long and short of my experience is that the Ryles has gone badly downhill - right to the valley floor. What's worse is that no one, not management, not even the owners, give a damn. How very sad.

Was persuaded into a forty odd mile round trip to visit the Ryles Arms and have to say it was well worth the travel. Very warm and inviting decor coupled with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food was delicious and portion size was very generous indeed. Would highly recommend the hickory chicken skewers my daughter had, most tasty. Given the quality and quantity of the food I consider it also offers great value for money too. Will definitely be back soon.

Tried to ring to book. Answer phone message to you have to go to The web site. I couldn’t book, thought the website might be down, so drove up there. When I arrived it was closed. Why couldn’t they have just said on the phone and website? I loved going there but will now not be returning. Bad customer service

Excellent service from friendly staff. Great menu. Pie crust and nachos meal both overdone hence 4/5. Lemon sponge from the dessert specials was really good. Would definitely visit again.

We took advantage of the Stay & Dine Package. Its very good value for money. The hotel was lovely & clean. Our room was lovely, the shower was brilliant. Beds comfortable. Food was lovely. The staff were so polite & friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Its situated in a lovely area with great walks.

Amazing food and service, I have been several times and I am never disappointed. The pies are a must try!

Had a lovely meal. Great staff. Friendly atmosphere. Only let down was the panache of greens, didn't taste too fresh. That was the only thing we left.

Had another fantastic meal , service was also brilliant...well worth a visit.

Posting on the right account! First time visiting here with my partner and it was brilliant, we couldn’t fault anything at all. We ordered the hickory skewers and the breaded chicken burger and both meals, portion sizes were great, food tasted unreal, and service from everyone involved was perfect; staff were very welcoming, helpful and came to check up on us throughout our meal. Will definitely be returning for meals in the future when we’re back in town! :)

Always lovely food and very helpful and friendly staff. Great!!

Excellent food , outstanding staff. Not the cheapest place but you get what you pay for

Great find as was in the area Good food Good service Staff was extra helpful Ample parking Many options for vegetarians and all were good

Had an amazing Anniversary meal here. Food and service couldn't be faulted

Incredible food, service and location. 100% recommend.

Excellent food and staff well worth the visit.

Fabulous meal today for Father's day. Staff so friendly and attentive, food out of this world Worth every penny

Good food and large portions and excellent service

We went for a meal for our daughter's birthday. The service was excellent, the food was great, with excellent portions. We had a dog with us and he was made most welcome.

Cannot fault this place at all!!! Absolutely gorgeous in every way - if you're looking for somewhere top class, take a visit here! Food, staff, atmosphere, all beautiful! Would 100% visit again!

Had a superb meal after a chance stop here.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Dogs allowed

Had an absolutely lovely meal here tonight. Both me and my husband had a rump steak and it was cooked beautifully. Will definitely be a place I come back to.

Great pub set in great countryside. There is a good choice of meals and all the meals we have had have been excellent with excellent service.

What is not to love about this place. The food is just absolutely beautiful. Been in quite a bit as handy location. Make sure you go in hungry or else ask for a doggy bag!! Went in tonight late in 7.45pm and had the LOVELY Aneshia (hope spelt right) serving us. She was just fantastic, lovely and very attentive. Had the chicken skewers and desserts. Left undoing our jeans buttons. Will be back very soon as again exceeded expectations

We popped in for an impromptu lunch on Bank Holiday Monday, and it certainly did not disappoint! The food, service, and atmosphere was all amazing. I can definitely recommend the Ryles Arms for couples, friends, families and work colleagues alike. 5 stars from us!

Had a late lunch with friends here food was excellent as we're the staff my pie was fantastic

4 of us went to the Ryles Arms for a meal and it was really enjoyable. The food is hot and freshly made and cooked to your liking and staff were very exceptional and very polite and you get what you pay for. Compared to other places I have eaten out this place is top of the list for me!

Great service and food. We stayed in the suite which was gorgeous, nice quality furnishings, good size and a lovely bathroom with large heated towel rails. Plenty of parking. Breakfast was lovely the next day. You definatley get what you pay for!

Excellent food and service as always

Can't fault the food and service. Outstanding if I must say we'll definitely be back again.

Went for food before our walk in the forest. The food and service was so good that we came back again a week later. The food is amazing quality and decent portions, plus it's really tasty. We love this place and will be back much more!

Travel an hour to eat here, everything is always fab food and service. Only negative, 3 vegetarians in our party that don't like mushrooms, every veggie option is 🍄 based. They had to choose a few side dishes, thus won't go back if they are inc in the party.

Excellent stay here , we were walking the Gritstone trail and stayed over here for 1 night , the room was very clean and modern , the evening meal was excellent but the full English breakfast was even better, plenty of choice for gluten free including a draught beer , but what made this place special was the staff , they are so friendly and helpful it was a joy to stay , thank you all for a lovely stay

Great food and hospitality 10/10

Lovely lunch. Menu choice very good indeed. Really good country pub.

Visited at the weekend with family, our first time here. Everything was amazing 10/10. Food was delicious, some of the best you will find in Macclesfield. Super friendly service, lovely atmosphere and views outside. We will be back in the future 100%

The staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating Food was delicious, I had the Stilton, bacon Chicken Skewer and rice with the mixed veggies on the side Dessert was the Bailey's and Malteser Cheesecake Definitely recommend!!

Love this place! Fantastic food and a good price.

Great food, good service, a couple of items were missing from the menu that we wanted to order but otherwise fantastic.

We came for the dine and stay and our whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Everybody was so friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. Dinner was soooooo delicious. I had the prawn and crayfish cocktail, steak and the Oreo ice cream sundae. My partner had whitebait, steak and chocolate fudge cake. Portions were generous and the standard of food was extremely high. We stayed in room 6 and particularly enjoyed the jacuzzi bath. We had a good night's sleep and then had a generous full English before we left. Won't need to eat for a week now! Thank you to everyone for making my wife's 40th so special.

Great meal and service. Staff were lovely.

A little bit disappointed, felt like we were on a conveyer belt been rushed through our meal, sat down at 6.30 and bill arrived at 7.45 also menu didn't live upto expectations

We attended for an evening meal which was absolutely beautiful no wait for our table has we had booked in which is advisable. They do a deal for dine and stay reasonably priced at £190 per couple. Food was out of this world. Service was completed with a professional standard. Both food and drinks are reasonably priced. We have been here numerous amounts of times for food and this will not be our last visit with plenty more to come in the future. There is a large car park to accommodate all diners and pub participants small sitting area to the front of the pub for an outdoor drink great job completed by the team at the ryles arms once again

Beautiful place, food and excellent service. We did not stay as we are local.

Came with friends on the dine and stay and it far exceeded expectations. Food was excellent: hearty portions, very good quality and lots of choice. Accommodation also excellent: very comfortable, clean, and lovely and warm. The main thing that earns The Ryles Arms an 'outstanding' review is the staff. What a fantastic team. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was genuinely friendly and helpful. We are thoroughly looking forward to a return stay next year!

Beautiful location. Amazing food.

A lovely overnight stay, room lovely food delicious and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend it. There are some great walks straight from the hotel front door.

Absolutely love the Ryles! Friendly and super attentive staff, the food is fantastic and the beer and wine teast amazing. What more could you want!

Stunning pub food and excellent service

Booked for Sunday lunch in the countryside. A very good lunch menu with additional specials. Every meal seen had very positive comments and our slow roast beef was wonderful and of generous size. Local real ales complemented the meal in a clean and tasteful environment in lovely countryside.

We went for a birthday celebration and came out feeling disappointed. Restaurant was busy and had a decent atmosphere however the menu didn't have a great selection. The service was very good but the coffee shouldn't really be served at the same time as the puddings. We couldn't help but feel that we were on a conveyor belt for tables, booked in for 6.30 and out for 7.45 isn't really long enough so unfortunately I don't think we will be visiting again 😕

Food, service, room, and location are all excellent. The Ryles Arms is superb.

Stunning location and great service

Couldn’t fault my stay and meal here. The room was small but clean and well-equipped. The food was delicious, huge portions. The service was also excellent, casual but attentive. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The dine and stay is fantastic. The good fantastic. The staff fantastic. The beer fantastic. Just go and stay there. The food is always piping hot. The breakfast is massive. I can’t praise it enough.

Great food and superior room was amazing for a night away. Great service and value for money Can't wait to book again

Meal and stayed the night. Excellent food and service amazingly friendly waiting on staff. Watch out for the low beams in the bed rooms. Room was very comfortable. Just had a few issues getting onto some of the TV apps.

I have eaten here a couple of times recently with my partner and family. On both occasions I received a warm welcome from staff who were very professional and friendly/attentive. The decor and ambiance was excellent and fits well with the rustic pub feel, with a modern twist. I had the rump steak and it was cooked to perfection and very tender. The chips were very obviously home cooked and fresh. My family had the fish and chips and steaks also were very impressed with the quality of the food and value for money. The portion sizes are very generous too. It's not the cheapest place to eat, but equally you can tell you are getting the quality you pay for consistently and for that reason it's worth every penny. In all fairness you could pay more in some high end restaurants and it wouldn't be noticeably better than here. Excellent and we'll definitely be coming back soon.

Amazing food and excellent service!

Great place to visit serving fresh home made dishes defiantly worth a visit

We only come for dinner so I can't comment on the rooms etc but we have always had a great experience with the food here it's always great mean and a great selection.

We were a table of 8 and the service was incredible. I am sad I didn’t get our servers name as she was brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and she was smiling constantly. The food was delicious, I had the garlic bread to start but no one had a bad word to say and we each had a starter. I decided to go with the beef wellington for my main and those potatoes were divine. The beef was cooked brilliantly and the sauce that came with was yummy as well. Apart from it being out in the middle of nowhere I can’t say a bad thing about the place. I can not comment on the accommodation as we didn’t stay over but we will be back.

Service great. Food wasn't 100%

Bought the dine and stay for husband’s birthday. What a great stay. We stayed in room 6 and loved everything about it. Such lovely detail. The bed was so big and comfy. The bathroom was amazing. Loved the jacuzzi bath and massive walk in shower. The food we had was absolutely amazing and the service as well. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. We can’t fault anything. We would definitely stay again and will be recommending.

First time at the Ryles Arms and i was impressed. Busy Saturday night, but a really warm welcome. The menu had plenty, but what to choose, for me so many good options. With what i had, and what friends had it all was great. I have to mention the service too. Even on a busy Saturday night it was great, a nothing was too much trouble attitute here. All in all, venue, food and service 5 stars.

What an amazing meal. Loved the food here. Lamb on Black was beautiful, the lamb perfectly cooked. I will definitely be returning.

Went here with friends and had a very pleasant experience. I had the cod mornay and my partner had a beef burger. Portions were decent and food was delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive. Good value for money too. Can’t wait to go back!!

Great food and very helpful friendly staff Have been before and will be going again hopefully

Excellent food and very good value. Lovely setting. Inside is warm and spacious. Been twice in the last week and can't fault it.

We visited the Ryles Arms during lunch time and it was busy! Parking may be a little tricky, the main car park isn’t huge and there is a small over spill further down. Service was just fantastic from the moment we walked in. My partner had gone in first to check if there would be a table, there was one left for two people and it was held for us whilst we parked the car. The lovely lady who seated and served us had explained the table can be a bit hit and miss (the wax has gone sticky on the table, so might not suit everyone)! We had the nachos to start, the Ryles Burger and the stilton chicken skewers. We shared the nachos and the portion size was spot on, the burger and skewers were delicious! We can’t wait to visit again!

The service was very good, thank you Charlotte. The food was cooked to perfect, thank you chef. Just wish I’d have asked for the price of the specials before I ordered.

Visited for a family birthday and what an excellent all round service we received from extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgable staff. The food choices were varied and vast. The quality of the food was superb and all meals were delivered in a timely manner. A customer service that is a credit to the whole team. Will definitely be back for a return visit soon.

Visited for family birthday meal- easy booking system, lovely restaurant, polite attentive staff & fantastic food! Highly recommended
