Sacred Orchard in Cheshire East

The usual excellent service, starting with a warm greeting from Lisa, Olly & the team on arrival, food was piping hot & of great quality, a really friendly, efficient team that it is always a pleasure to meet!! Nothing is to much trouble for them, (I wish I had employees of that caliber when I was managing a large production unit before retirement )

Lovely food, friendly staff would go again.

Lovely welcome and very tasty food.

Good service from Henry good food and drink would recommend

It was our wedding anniversary so, we came with friends to celebrate the occasion. From walking through the doors, we had exceptional service. The food was divine. Not a word of complaint and every plate emptied. We had 1 x Sunday roast, 1 x halloumi and chips, 2 x sausage and mash. Dessert was 2 x salted caramel sundae. Your prices, portion sizes, quality of food are spot on. The room was well set out with plenty of space for moving around. Clean everywhere and toilets spotless. We will be back Thank you so much to all the team. You've definitely got the WOW factor!!

Nice food! Also specials were well presented and tasty. Great service. Also sell Hawkstone which is nice!

Henry, David and James provided brilliant service and were attentive to all of our needs. The food and drinks were top quality and price was good for the standard that was provided. Would highly recommended

My husband & I really enjoyed our evening. The staff are very kind and accommodating. We had a job deciding on our meal. My fish & chips was huge & beautifully prepared. I'm a lover of pasta, perhaps in the near future?? Kindest Regards Christie. There is such a huge choice of dishes, all sounding very yummy. We're looking forward to returning.

Great pub, friendly staff, good food

Excellent service and a well cooked meal for my husband and myself. Good selection on the gluten free menu and staff and kitchen experienced in serving and preparing safe gluten food for coeliacs.

I love coming to the sacred orchard, it's local , staff are very friendly, food is always to a High standard , place is warm and inviting , there's plenty to choose from of the menu , we tried Sunday dinner pork for the first time was absolutely delicious alot of meat very filling no room for dessert ,I also like the fact dogs are welcome , booking is easy also I booked literally 10mins before we arrived. Carnt improve on perfection just keep doing what ur doing .thank you

Good choice of pre-match food & watering hole en route to Crewe. Clean & tidy ambience & attentive, communicative staff.

Lunch with my daughter on a Saturday. Mediocre burger and chips. Steak and ale pie. Pie was microwaved, very soggy, not helped by 2 fried halve carrots that were inedible on top! The pie was tasty enough, some lumps of fat. The mashed potato tasted like it had been made several hours previously. Peas, mange tout and green beans all cooked together, disgusting taste!! Gravy was tasty enough but far too thick. Garlic bread was just a bread bun with some garlicky cheese thrown on top. Very disappointing. Such a shame, have had several very good meals before.

Staff very friendly, food was excellent. Service was excellent.

I visited with my mother and my 3 daughters while on a long journey. The staff, food and experiwas so warm and friendly. The place was so charming. We loved it.

Very clean polite staff. And very hot food which was very welcoming on a cold day will definitely be calling in again ..

Lovely meal in a nice setting, friendly service too

Called on the way home from wales. Pleasant staff, Food was really nice for the price....even better with a discount 😊 Nice touch the little dog bowls and water with a jar of treats.

Food was lovely , great place . Staff was great but need more of them

Pleasant atmosphere and sound levels allowed the 4 of us to chat without shouting. Meal satisfactory, but battered cauliflower overcooked. Staff well trained and helpful.

Very nice indeed really enjoyed the meal and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic staff, great food, very family friendly atmosphere.

Popped in on the off chance of getting a table of 6 with a dog, James and the team couldn't of been more helpful getting us a table sorted in the bar area, our food came quickly and was hot and delicious, I had the fish and chips was a perfect portion size.

Called in on a Monday evening and decided we will have fish and chips the photos show the meal we were served for the price paid we really weren’t impressed at the food served not only did it have black burnt bits on it it was dried out from I can assume was from the method used to keep the food warm. The portions size was poor and the mushy peas was a scant tablespoon! We were looking for a suitable place to take 6 friends out for an meal if they can’t get it right on a slow Monday evening for two meals serving a table of 6 - 8 at a busy time doesn’t bear to think about! The Ev point outside is out of contract and hasn’t been paid/renewed with the company so NO EV Charging… very disappointed visit all round. Nobody to raise this with at the time so I couldn’t raise our disappointment and concerns.

Service and food were excellent, the staff are always attentive and greet you with a smile , we will definitely return .

Fantastic pub, staff were incredibly friendly. Highly recommend!

Very very slow. We waited nearly 10 minutes to be greeted and taken to a table. The drinks order was relatively quickly taken, but took a long time to arrive. We waited nearly an hour for our food. The food was lacklustre. The staff were friendly and pleasant, but too busy. Not their fault.

On visit to alvaston hall, went for a walk towards Nantwich and came across this pub. Popped in for a pint. No peroni but did have a nice pint of Estrella. Very nice. Pub is done out very nice. Clean and modern, with nice lighting. The staff were chatty and friendly. Didn't try the food, but maybe next time. Very nice if you're at Warners and fancy a walk and a beer. The girls had a nice NZ sauvignon blanc..

Good food, service, and decor. Comfy seats. Roast pork really good. Good outdoor seating and children's play area. Roast dinners delightful

Place lovely. Ambience lovely. Staff really nice. I had sirloin, as did my friend. Mine was never rare and neither was his medium. Both steaks overdone and tough. As it was a lunch gathering of friends we did not complain. However, my partner had cod and chips and it was excellent.

Long wait for food, only one chef in the kitchen, waiting staff very good but rushed off their feet. Food good, we had a 30% off voucher too

It was a great experience, very friendly young people working there . The food arrived quickly and it was absolutely delicious, needed to be a bit hotter though . Not great with cold vegetables

Really lovely food at great prices. Very friendly & accommodating of our autistic child which is really appreciated and makes eating out so much easier

Food was excellent. Service was a bit slow.

I've been for a drink here on a few occasions but never eaten . Well, now I've eaten here. what a great place . The food was really tasty dessert that was delicious. I don't think it was overpriced either . Would I visit again to eat ? YES 💯% To all the staff, thank you for one of the tastiest meals we've had in a while .

Plain fare, nothing exciting. Pie night with a pint for £14.75 each. Nothing exciting but very very filling. There is a lot of choice here and offers on most evenings and daytime

Food was horrendous burnt and tuff will not be making another visit and will tell friends and family

Enjoyed a lovely dinner with friends on Wednesday, we hadn't booked a table but were still accommodated. The food and service was great and the pub was very clean. There was a large free carpark, which was great, and a nice looking beer garden outside. The quiz seemed very popular, might try it another time!

Very nice gentleman led us to our table. Table nicely laid. Enough time to choose to order. Waiter kind and polite. Bar man friendly. All round pleasant experience. We will recommend and visit again. Full bellies with yummy food. Thank you.

First time visit on our way home. Food was very nice , I had the mixed grill was very nice , meat was cooked perfect 👌, wife had the sea bass really enjoyed it.

Excellent food, cooked perfectly. Staff very polite and attentive.

Delicious food, really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Would definitely recommend!

First visit since shutdown. Marked improvement. Service was quick, efficient & polite. Food was hot & tasty. Had a drink outside afterwards & the area was clean & tidy. Will be back !

Just stopped in for a quick drink, bar staff were very friendly & helpful, plenty of seating

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Experience! James and the team at The Sacred Orchard are outstanding! The service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely delicious. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, making our visit truly memorable. We felt so well taken care of and can't wait to return. Highly recommend this gem!

Nice food, friendly staff, added bonus....30% off!

Attended for my late Mums wake, James and Lisa were sympathetic and very professional. They catered for all of our needs and the buffet was lovely. Much appreciated, thank you.

Always a nice place to go for a meal and drink

Good food. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Good gluten free choice.

I stopped in on the way home from a work trip. The place was beautifully clean and tidy, the service was fantastic, the food was delicious. Really great, very happy customer, thank you! 😁

As always a fabulous meal, made very welcome. Good quality British food. Dogs made very welcome with water and treats. Sausages and chicken cooked to order for our four legged friends

Great staff, and a menu that caters to all dietary requirements leaving you full and satisfied. Aussie temp cold beer to quench that "hard earned thirst"... An enjoyable occasion

Very pleasant relaxed experience

It was every thing I hoped it would be and more they make all there customers feel valued.

Visited for drinks , greeted with a friendly smi!e from the barman called Henry . Very knowledgeable about the Ales on offer . Especially the Wainwrights .We didn't even leave the table to 'reorder as he he asked if we required another as we finished our first Great experience thanks Henry

Wow found you whilst staying at Alvaston hall. Excellent food wonderful service. Family gathering for our golden wedding anniversary, couldn't have been better. Thank you 😀😀😀

Seven of us went for lunch on July 20, they were quite busy so we did have to wait a bit longer for our food. It was red hot and really nice...no complaints at all. We had a bottle of wine which was not too expensive and really nice as were the excellent desserts.

Had a fantastic father's day meal with my mum and dadl ,the staff were very accommodating.food was very nice. Have been. Numerous times have always enjoyed it.

This place never disappoints with a great menu and superb customer service. Great value all round.

Service was amazing food was sensational some of the best food we have ever had and wait times were really quick food portions were extremely generous

Good value, great food, welcoming and attentive staff. Highly recommended.

Really good, visited here with the Mrs for some food as part of a roadtrip, good sized carpark, lovely welcome from the gent working that day, prices were reasonable, menu choices are good, our food was really nice, surround is nice, happy days. Lovely pub, the Mrs will want to go snugburys again eventually so we'll be back for some more grub :-)

Fabulous service from David, he was very attentive and the food and drink was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to eat here again 😋

Went for a casual night out after a day trip as we were in the area. Warmly greeted by the host, informed of the service styles and we opted for the casual bar side. Very relaxed Informal service but the staff were excellent in checking up on us and keeping the tables nearby tidy. Had a lovely evening.

Although the pub was busy we were soon served with our order. Excellent food and staff.

First visit after New Management Great staff member including Henry and Jake. food is amazing..

One of the nicest Marston’s Pubs I’ve have had the privilege of visiting. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff are attentive and most importantly, the food is delicious and nicely presented. Henry (The guy on the left in the photograph of the bar) is brilliant. You can trust his recommendation on food or wine, and he does make a superb cocktail. The Sacred Orchard is dog friendly and close to the Nantwich Sainsburys. A spotlessly clean venue with a large car park and a beer garden with artificial grass so it always looks tidy.

Amazing service - ordered a ribeye steak, cooked how I ordered, chips were to die for. Food took a little while to come out but wasn’t too long, worth the wait. Would recommend

The only thing which I like there was the atmosphere.what I ordered was dreadful,not nice looking and whit no taste at all, and my main was served when everyone on the table had their dessert already.

Just visited for my nephews birthday meal with a party of 30. We pre-ordered our meals and on the day they were very organised and our food was prompt. All the service was good and they were very welcoming. The food was great and we all had a lovely time.

Fantastic choice of food and really tasty, great service too, would definitely come again and recommend to friends

Although we were greeted and seated promptly, and our ordered taken, it took nearly an hour for our food to arrive after ordering which was frustrating.

Gammon was burnt, an awful long wait for service, never complained because couldnt wait another hr, but the place was very pleasent, and the staff were nice

Absolutely fantastic meal!! We were well looked after from start to finish. Really attentative staff and incredible food,great value too. Credit to all,thank you 👌

Very good food and great service from Henry and the rest of the team

When we first arrived we were greeted and sat promptly we went on a bank holiday Monday evening but it was very quiet only a few other people were there. We then ordered our food I ordered the mac and cheese after about a 45 min wait (considering it was quiet it was a bit of a long wait) our food arrived my food was okay but the mac and cheese could have been hotter and the garlic bread was cold and it wasn't really garlic bread it was just a roll with some herbs on top they also took along time bringing out sides and forgot the slaw to go with a burger this would have been understandable if it was busy I then ordered the chocolate browny Sunday which was ment to come with chocolate and vanilla ice cream but I only got chocolate and there were only 2 small brownies in it for the price I was expecting a bit more. On top of this we had a voucher to use, but was told it couldn't be used on a bank holiday. Overall probably won't be visiting again.

Food was great! Beautiful fish and hot chips, extra tartare sauce, no problem 😊 probably do with more peas! Service was efficient, friendly and they tried really hard to accommodate our every whim!!

Both times it's been great service and really good food. Staff can't do enough whole visit is a joy. Value for money is also very high.

Set in well laid grounds with large parking area, has electric charging. Building modern and design is welcoming. Food choice and menus offer wide choices. The food was well presented and cooked to chosen choice. Wide array of all types of drinks. A lunchtime to enjoy with tables spaced for comfort.

We had our mums birthday meal here yesterday, staff were absolutely fabulous. The food was so good! Even my fussy son loved it. There were 12 of us in total and we had a whole area to ourselves! I brought a cake with me to surprise her and they brought that out for us at the end of the meal! It was truly fabulous! Thank you!

A lot of food not available that was on the menu. Hunters chicken, poor quality, burnt on the bottom. Steak, poor quality, overcooked, looked like it had been standing. A very slow service.

I’ve give this a 2 because of the meal the food was ok but we were told the hunter’s chicken came with onion rings but it didn’t. Felt like we have paid over £30 for a bit of chicken and some chips(not including drinks) With a bucket load of grass. Not impressed and don’t think we will be back.

Nice food, I had the signature burger and fries with the onion rings and my partner had the chilli chicken burger and fries. Spot on good price. The staff were exceptional, really friendly and helpful. I had a beer or two which hit the spot. Tables were laid out in a spacious fashion With plenty of staff to serve quickly. Overall a good experience, we will visit again.

Went on bank holiday Monday with my husband and daughter and cannot speak highly enough of the place. The food was lovely and everything tasted amazing. Service was also great, everyone was so friendly and especially Lisa who was great with our very fussy daughter! Will definitely be back!

We’ve visited here today with a big group to celebrate a birthday, Lisa our host was absolutely brilliant, with having fussy kids (and adults) she went out of her way to accommodate us, food was top notch with all empty plates, couldn’t fault a single thing, service was some of the best we’ve encountered, if your looking for decent food, incredible service and top notch service this is the place to go! Massive bonus that they have a big outdoor space where the younger children could play on the climbing frames and the older kids had a game of footy, 100percent will be visiting again! We’ll done to the whole team! And again thanks Lisa for your incredible service. See you all soon☺️

Came here last month . Lovely food ,staff really helpful! Nothing was to much trouble and nice lady called Lisa helped us to where we should sit (had our dogs with us) … and a guy called Ollie was really helpful in deciding what drink I wanted . Letting me sample the beers before i purchased one !!!All in all wonderful meal out

Lovely staff, terrible value for money. £6.99 for 3 chicken tenders, 1 was very small and the other 2 were medium. Dry and bland in flavour. Garlic bread had dried Oregano on it instead of parsley, so was quite bitter and bitty.

Having now used this pub a number of times for both business and family purposes, it still holds high standards of cleanliness, a warm and friendly welcome, great service and food with competitive prices. It's ifficult to find a high standard of consistency in most places, but here this is not the case, it always does it well. All my clients say the same when they visit.

The food was OK, but very expensive. Drinks expensive, too.

Went on Sunday 21st April for Sunday lunch. service was excellent food was delicious there were 3 of us I had pork husband had Turkey and mother had beef and they were all fabulous. Will definitely go again well done to James the manager and his team.

Great food, fair price, super service

A welcoming friendly crew always welcoming us with a smile, serving good reliable and tasty food, I'm now a regular customer always stopping in on my lunch break.

£16 for a pint and a glass of wine (over £6 of Estrella and nearly £10 for a glass of the cheapest tasting Pinot). It amazes that a struggling pub low-end with the worst service in town and a dead atmosphere, would think that the sensible thing to do to make money would be to push customers into the nicer pubs by charging higher prices than every other pub. This is literally the worst one. The bacteria on my table had more personality than that staff. We won't be back. Such a shame, it used to be good a few years ago.

Very nice place, not very busy for a Sunday lunch but I probably caught a quiet moment. Food was good, Guinness was good. Well worth a visit.

I called into the Orchard for lunch whilst in the area on business, the pub is is nicely presented, the staff friendly enough and the menu well up to the usual pub chain standard. I only ordered a steak sandwich with chips which was good enough, but in my opinion the wait for the food (35 minutes) was a bit a bit excessive considering the pub was not busy.

Visited today for lunch having not been for a while. The carpark and outside looked clean and tidy and inside is very nice indeed, very clean, includung the loos. Thank goodness the rude member of staff (there at our last visit) appears to have gone. Everyone was attentive, drinks came quickly and the food was not too long arriving. Hmmmm ... why are some kitchens still microwaving pastry when we have air-fryers and air-ovens now? The pie contents were very nice but spoiled by sad pastry which should be lovely and crisp. I had mashed potato, but it was yellow, dense and rubbery, I actually think it was 'Smash' that had been reheated. It wasn't fluffy mash and it didn't really taste that good. I was so hungry though that I just ate it. I'm sure you can do better than this Chef! It was all hot and the veg was nice. This is a great place for us to stop on our way to/from Wales but it's just these small things that keep us away.

Went as a group of 5 adults and one child. Food was great and a good price (we chose Sacred Orchard over another restaurant that had a similar menu but everything cost £2-3 more). Great service from our server (see below) but it was quite a long wait (about 40 minutes) from ordering to food arriving. Would definitely go again though. Had great service from El. I arrived with my elderly mother and El came out and held the door for us and then she walked my mother to the table while I parked the car. She took our orders, and when bringing our drinks and food, she correctly remembered what each person had ordered, without checking with us, which was a really nice touch, showing how attentive she was. And she had a lovely, polite manner, always saying "You're welcome" when someone thanked her; I was really impressed with her service.

Nice place for a pit stop on the way to our overnight accommodation. Food,beer and staff all good

Called in as we were passing. Usually theses type pubs usually have average food and service. We're greater with a smile, shown to our table and had very rentative service from Henry. The food and service was excellent, we will be going again as we have a wedding in August so will be there the night before. Compliments to the chef, the fish and chips was fabulous.

We dropped in for a quick bite and were more than happily surprised with the great service (shout out to Henry for being particularly attentive), the watermelon salad was delicious & fresh - overall great experience
