Smokehouse & Cellar Knutsford in Cheshire East

Tonight we visited the smokehouse and cellar in knutsford and as soon as we walked through the entrance we were greeted by warm welcoming faces that created such a comfortable atmosphere within the establishment. The VIP service from the staff was immaculate from start to finish and the food was cooked to perfection and presented with both care and passion. Thanks all, especially head chef Nick, it was really nice to chat with him

Sensational food (again) I've been meaning to return here for another meat feast and finally got around to it, with my parents for company this time. Just as with my first experience I was blown away and departed with a full stomach and a big grin! I opted for a (slightly) smaller burger than last time, the 'Miss Piggy' with cheese added. It was incredible. The burger patty was so chunky but also really tender and juicy. You can tell it's real quality meat. I shared my Dad's ribs which were even more delicious than I remembered. Huge portion of melt in the mouth meat with a beautiful smoky flavour and plenty of sauce. Loads of slaw and (proper) pickles with them too which was an added bonus. We also shared a boneless 'wings' portion of chicken. These were a bit disappointing actually. A nice crisp coating but they were overcooked so pretty dry. The honey BBQ sauce saved them a bit but we weren't fighting over eating them like everything else! My Mum had the salmon hanging kebab and really enjoyed it. It had lots of fish pieces and came with a hefty bowl of fries which were fresh and crispy. I was disappointed when my plate was empty but also relieved for my stomach! An incredibly enjoyable feast! The staff were a delight to add to the experience and the place had been impressively decked out for Halloween. It's definitely not a 'cheap eat' but the portion sizes (and quality of food) fully justified the prices I'd say. The drinks bumped up the bill but that's often the case in restaurants. There was a vast menu though. I couldn't recommend this place enough for any meat lovers! Previous visit: Top tier food! An amazing meal. I thoroughly enjoyed every single bite. The Pitmaster burger was an incredible stack. A thick juicy patty with superb flame grilled flavour. Beautiful pulled pork in a lovely sweet BBQ marinade. A generous pile OG pulled brisket and tasty smoked bacon. The chicken fillet was nice but didn't add much because it didn't have a crispy coating or significant seasoning. But it was probably just outdone by the other superb aspects of this stack! Despite that and the lack of pickles this was still one of the best burgers I've had. Just as enjoyable were the ribs. So much meat for a half rack! Incredibly juicy meat with a fantastic marinade. A really pleasant place to eat, with delightful staff.

Came here on an impromptu visit for a late lunch after Tatton Park, this was my third visit and just like the previous 2 occasions it did not disappoint. Lovely staff and the food was delicious as always. Added extra which I really appreciated was the offer of bringing out our 4 year old son's food as soon as it was ready rather than bringing out with ours. Another fab experience and would 100% recommend!

Went for their Sunday roast, absolutely horrendous, most of the food was cold, we sent our cauliflower cheese back because it was stone cold, were brought another one about 20 mins later which was stone cold again, food was flavourless and bland, Apple pie dessert was still frozen in the middle. Avoid.

We booked the smokehouse and cellar for my sons 18th birthday on the 2nd of October food was gorgeous there was 18 of us all the food was served together we had plenty of cocktails that was delicious nothing was to much trouble for the staff would recommend to anyone so pleased we went there to celebrate my sons major birthday definitely making it our regular place to go

Service was great unfortunately food was awful

Lovely meal for 17 last night...... Lovely meal for 17 last night for a family birthday. Food was amazing, all starters and mains brought out together. Staff were brilliant and friendly. Thank you to Emily who always makes all our visits to The smokehouse & cellar very pleasant. Highly recommend for great food, great atmosphere and brilliant staff.

Ate here for lunch today - really nice food (we actually ended up taking some away!), good service with nice staff, drinks came out almost instantly and food was very quick too, and nice atmosphere. Loved that the background music wasn’t too loud too as sometimes I struggle to hear in loud environments.

Top place for meat! Best ribs around, very good atmosphere

I liked it a lot. Excellent quality dishes. Original flavors. Perfect attention Without hesitation to repeat and recommend.

Chicken wings were expensive for what they were and not as large as they state on the menu, food was good just expensive for what it was, the onion bomb on the other hand was worth all of its money.

Everything about this place is fabulous! The main man on the door, the lovely happy staff, the amazing food, the fabulous chef, the amazing cheesecake and most importantly the prices 💕💕 absolutely love this place. Love Kelly & Paul The Windmill xxxx

Tasty small plates for lunch. Big portion of potato skins with pulled pork. Yum.

What an amazing experience this is. The food is sublime, the staff are amazing especially Becky and Andy who looked after us so so well. The Onion Bomb as a starter is incredible and the sharing platter from the “Pitmaster” is out of this world. Definitely recommend this place if you like the taste of ribs, brisket, sausage and “yard bird” - chicken! Will definitely be back! Just had the Sunday roast dinner - beef! Absolutely fantastic food. The beef melts in your mouth and the apple pie with custard is incredible.

New Sunday Roast is excellent and so tasty - beef so tender, honey roast gammon simply delicious and turkey so succulent - great accompaniments and great choice of deserts to finish - always a friendly and warm welcome and highly recommend

Always great service and food! 😁

Really lovely upmarket restaurant in a qauint, idyllic and affluent town. 3 small plates for £14.95 and Chilli Pork Taco's with rustic chips and side garnishes. The food us really flavoursome, exciting and adventurous. The price for the area is amazing. Thank you to our host, Ceila and the team x

I visited the Smokehouse & Cellar ( Knutsford ) with my family on Monday 15th July. Once again I must say how impressed all of us were with the professionalism of the staff members. There were only two members that evening. One being the site manager "Emily " and " Gina " both were a credit to the Smokehouse & Cellar franchise, as was the food and service. Both were, as they say in Shakespearean language " proper grafters " Gina spent most of the evening informing us of her " Ice Crushing " skills, and how she had worked very hard on developing her lower forearms so she could pull the perfect pint for customers, and that she had been the subject of numerous documentaries. Emily on the other hand was keen to show her leadership capabilities, and was highlighting that she was currently working on an area of heat retention when serving hot food to customers, and has just finished a course in urban hang-gliding. She also mentioned that on her days off she repairs electrical appliances free of charge for the elderly. I was also impressed on how they both manage time efficiently with great ease, not once during the evening once did i see either one of them perspire, even though they both moved with unflagging speed. One can only assume that the laws of physics do not apply at the Knutsford branch? They were even kind enough to mention how lovely my original line of corduroy evening wear looked. Emily even asked if i would mind if she could pass on clothing tips to her boyfriend. When asked if this was a good idea, both Emily and Gina assured me that their deft floral arrangements within the restaurant have earned them fame in international botany circles. This is my fourth visit to the Knutsford Smokehouse & Cellar, and not my last.....the quality of food and staff make it.....on a more formal note. If those who own the franchise do read this, please take a moment to acknowledge those who make a difference. Examples of food intake.. Onion Bomb Boneless Chicken Wings 120z Ribeye Apple Pie All cooked to high expectation....and devoured with ease..................... This has been just one persons opinion. Thank you ladies.

Lovely restaurant, relaxing atmosphere with friendly staff. Food lovely. Reasonably priced.

WOW WOW WOW. Delicious 😋 the fajitas were fabulous. The portion sizes were fabulous and the quality of the chicken was excellent. Great sides again generous portions and very tasty will be back soon ! Warm welcome from the girls too. Great prices too.

Oh wow! Absolutely beautiful food loved every bite, staff were all friendly and attentive, couldn't have chosen a better place to eat for our one nights stay. Well done to you all.

Food was amazing, I would highly recommend brisket fajitas. Service was quick and the waitresses were polite and accommodating. We were pleasantly surprised to find 30% off our mains as part of a deal which we didn't know about prior to arriving. 5* - we will definitely be back.

Had an excellent dinner here. Couldn’t decide between the ribs or the brisket, however the ribs did not disappoint. Epic portion sizes and great value for lineup service was faultless too, would definitely come back to try more.

Just left this place. Not many people in except for a table in the centre mostly lads. We’re a local couple who spend a lot of money in Knutsford and believe in supporting local businesses and sharing good experiences with our group of friends. Unfortunately this place fell very short of satisfactory. The manager placed us on a table next to the group who were very loud and swearing. The service was dreadful.. needless to say, we ate our meal fast, paid and left. It’s unfortunate as we would have promoted this place if we’d have had a good experience but unfortunately we won’t be back soon!

On a visit to Knutsford we came across the smokehouse, amazing, friendly staff and mouthwatering food. I believe you haven't been here for long but may I wish you all the success. See you next time 👋🏻

We visited last evening to celebrate a family birthday, we had a table for 10 and the food and service was excellent. We had taken a cake in and the staff were happy to bring it to the table making it a lovely evening. Nothing was too much trouble We will definitely come again

Service was good but unfortunately the food was not good. Most dishes lacked any flavour.

Staff were pleasant and attentive. Food disappointing. We didn’t have starters my husband ordered steak medium it stated with salad. It came rare some dressed rocket and a bowl of fries. Nothing else at £32 I ordered the starter portion of ribs as the waiter advised it was quite large I asked for a side of fries. That is what I got absolutely nothing else. The mains portion stated it had salad etc. maybe my fault but as I ordered it as a main I think they should have told me that I may need a side dish. We did tell the staff what I am writing here and as a gesture of good will they deducted the desert from the bill Won’t recommend but may try this place again

Attended 15 minutes early than we had booked and instantly we was greeted by Andy at the door with a welcoming and positive attitude. Without much looking and just me stating I had a booking but was early, he said my name (he hadn't looked at the compute POS during this time - he only checked after saying my name) which was very attentive to ensure each visitor is welcome as themselves, not just another customer. We was seated within seconds and our hostess' for the evening was Lily and Morgan. Both of these were brilliant throughout our experience and even cracked some light jokes throughout to ensure smiles was a constant theme. Unsure who was who, but one came over after me and my friend finished out starters and she asked "Are you finished with your starters?" to then see our plates empty and said whilst laughing "obviously there's nothing left". This light hearted joke gave us something to laugh about for a moment. The other hostess came to collect out dishes after we had finished our mains. I tried to have the plate ready to collect but the knife dropped on the floor. Jokingly she said "ow my foot" (it didn't touch her just to clarify) and laughed about this. When asking us for our dessert choices, we both said the cheese cake and she jokingly said "do you want me to bring 2 spoons so you can feed each other" which was funny considering me and my friend was on a laughing rollercoaster for about an hour straight. So overall the staff here are amazing! The food, just as good. The flavour and the amount of food for the cost is absolutely brilliant. My brother loves ribs so I have suggested this to maybe come for a family get together. Should be a returning customer. Tipped £20, wish I could have done more. Outstanding!

All good service fine, food was ok but ribs were overdone. However, they did reduce the bill Otherwise very good.

Lovely Sunday afternoon down to the smokehouse, we had our late lunch up on the terrace, lovely sunshine and tasty food. Andy is the perfect host, as always. Cannot recommend it enough.

Great place to dine, great staff super friendly environment. Really enjoyed being served by Becky! Very smiley young lady who creates a warm welcoming environment. Will definitely dine here again!

A big thank you to two ladies at the Smokehouse and Cellar In Knutsford. Emily and Gina.....who tried so hard to be as sensational as I was during the evening. The food was excellent, and the restaurant ambience was superb. This is a second review. The first is on trust point/pilot. I can't say enough regarding both ladies....I hope the CEO or area manager sit up and take note of the staff at Smokehouse in Knutsford....although young, they're a credit to your company I'll be back on their account..... Thanks Emily and Gina Dave

Excellent food, service and atmosphere for my 70th birthday. Very friendly staff and fab cocktails. Highly recommend.

I came here because I saw the 3 small dishes deal and it didn't disappoint. The service was good and 3 dishes were very nice.

We came last night for my mum’s 70th and we couldn’t fault it!! The food was stunning, our waitress Emily was amazing, and the Manager Andy went above and beyond for us. The burgers by the way… OMG!! We will definitely be back! If you haven’t tried it, honestly get yourself down there, you are missing out.

A few friends called in for a drink. The staff were incredibly friendly and nothing was too much for them to do.

Had a really nice lunch here yesterday. The staff were super helpful on arrival. Good choice on the menu, I had a burger with pulled pork. Very nice! Prices are around average, and good choice of beers too. Will defiantly be back!

Dry Dry Dry! Chicken tacos came with a dribble of sauce… Still chewing on the burger now and I’ve driven 18 miles home. Also they asked for a tip? What for exactly? Tip: Don’t serve dry chicken tacos With love Ps music was good!

We just had some sides for lunch as felt it was quite expensive, food was good, nice atmosphere and staff were great, good portion size

The food, as always, was delicious. This is the rump steak fajitas. Very beautifully cooked steak with peppers and onions served with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce and cheese.

30/03/24: fantastic service by Sam! Lovely lad, a credit to the Smokehouse. Very friendly! Great service, lovely food. Had the Dirty Double burger, max n cheese, pulled pork dirty fries and a pint of IPA. A great night with good friends for Bryan's birthday! 20/11/23: enjoyed a very tasty and very filling meal. We overdid it and had eyes bigger that out bellies. For starter we had the deep fried salt & pepper squid, boneless chicken wings. For main Dirty Double beef burger and Southern fried chicken burger with sides of sweet potato fries and skin on fries with chicken gravy. Service was great. 13/10/23: dogs only welcome till 6pm. Really disappointed as we were very much looking forward to dining here. Originally told dogs welcome, but were not made aware of time limit. Arrived at 7pm for a very much looked forward to evening meal, with 4 friends and our well behaved Golden Retriever. We were not permitted entry, as dogs not allowed after 6pm. Hoping to make it back to the Smokehouse and try this fantastic menu another day and change this review from 1 to 5 stars. Owner has been in touch, apologised for misunderstanding, which was a lovely gesture.

Food was excellent and staff really friendly.

It doesn't happen often, but this place was awesome. Attentive service... some of the best food I've had in a long time, yes it's a bit pricey, but it's worth it! I had the smokehouse breakfast, even though they had run out of beans , it was fantastic! A bowl overflowing with smokey luscious pulled pork, A massive sausage, I think it might have been boar, rashers of decent bacon , eggs, thick chunks of bread....OMG, I'm hungry again. I'm saving my pennies to go again. We'll done guys!!!

Excellent food and fantastic service.

This place is amazing, great decor and the food was on another level. Service was also spot on, a very young but very attentive and hard working team. Definitely worth a visit

Outstanding evening. Great food, brilliant service with a genuinely friendly lad looking after us. Considering the quality and quantity of the food I was amazed when we got the bill, excellent value for money.Top place. Can't wait to go back...Thoroughly recommend it.

Arrived with Friends on time. Nice meeting with staff upon arrival. Very nice settings with everything looking clean and fresh. No rushing from start to finish and the meals were fab. Staff were very good and always on hand . A very nice eating and social experience . Sitting with nice people and a nice environment . Well done to the staff +++++++++

Really welcoming and friendly with an excellent menu with generous portions. The boneless chicken wings with buffalo and blue cheese dressing is so tasty as is the cauliflower bang bang starter. Tried the pulled pork which was delicious and would highly recommend.

Nothing special about this place, food was just 'regular' and the staff really need more training in customer service, read the room and a smile would seriously not hurt once in a while.

Great food. Lovely service. Very modern place.

Visited Knutsford and with no prior booking, we were welcomed for lunch as a family of 5. Teenagers loved the music, we loved the atmosphere and cozy, curved seeting alcove. Service was top class, food was prompt and delicious. What a find, we will return and definitely try the rest of the menu! We had a selection of meals, I tried the choice of 3 plates/small bites, chilli prawns, halloumi and topped potato skins.....soooo tasty!

The smoked honey bbq chicken is amazing!

Great food and great service! Pulled pork is to die for will definitely be coming again!

An amazing meal. I thoroughly enjoyed every single bite.  The Pitmaster burger was an incredible stack. A thick juicy patty with superb flame grilled flavour. Beautiful pulled pork in a lovely sweet BBQ marinade. A generous pile OG pulled brisket and tasty smoked bacon.  The chicken fillet was nice but didn't add much because it didn't have a crispy coating or significant seasoning. But it was probably just outdone by the other superb aspects of this stack! Despite that and the lack of pickles this was still one of the best burgers I've had.  Just as enjoyable were the ribs. So much meat for a half rack! Incredibly juicy meat with a fantastic marinade.  A really pleasant place to eat, with delightful staff. 

Went during the Jan 50% off, so value for money was really good. And because it was stuffed to the rafters some food items were out of stock. But, the quality was good and the service was attentive given how busy it was. And of course the atmosphere was good as it was bustling.

I booked here for my staff post Christmas party as we can only have ours after Christmas due to being in the trade. So there was 13 of us we arrived at 7.30pm the place was quite busy. The gentleman I think who was in charge saw us at the door but didn’t come to greet us it was a young girl who was lovely but he then came over and I went to say our name he interrupted me saying well it’s obvious you are the big table. He took us to the table said all mains on half price apart from steaks left mains walked off. About 10 mins later I asked could we order some drinks this again was the lovely waitress who was rushing round doing everything. The same one took our food order. Food came out quick and was nice. We ordered desserts again the same waitress who really does work hard. Then as soon as we ordered desserts the waitress came over said I have been told to tell you it’s last orders at the bar well at 9.40pm with still at 30 people in we were shocked. I asked for 11 baby Guinness he bought 1 said no asked for 11 he said no can’t do the bar is closed. Well thank you for spoiling for Christmas outing and after spending £800 after discount you really don’t deserve the business. The problem from start to finish was the guy in charge no customer service at all no smile no thank you shame on you for ruining my teams night out. Yes I tried to contact you before this review but no response.

Excellent family meal to celebrate a birthday. Food, service and surroundings all excellent. We will definitely be returning, thank you 😊

Visited Knutsford for the day and called in the Smokehouse for a lunch. Friendly staff, decent menu focused on BBQ meals. My partner had pulled pork and I had the double burger, the meals were good value for money and the pulled pork and fries were very tasty, although for me the burger was a bit too well done. Overall very good place to visit and would return to try other menu items

First time here, we wasn’t disappointed.

First time we visited. The food was brilliant and the staff were very attentive. We will visit again 😃

Googled eateries in this area looking for something different. Found The Smokehouse and what a find! It was late lunch time so not so busy but the welcome was warm and we were seated at a lovely corner table with great views of the restaurant. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas, very tasteful indeed. The menu was varied and very comprehensive. Choices made, we relaxed with our drinks and our food arrived very quickly. Our meals were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Service was faultless from lovely staff with no feelings of intrusion. We will certainly return and have an evening here where we can imagine the atmosphere would be fabulous!! Thanks to the team.here for a lovely lunch.

Just called in for a late tea time meal and so pleased we did - the boneless chicken wings starter with buffalo sauce are delicious. Great choice of burgers or steaks and chicken dishes which are all so tasty. Do try the honeycomb sticky toffee cheesecake - so nice - highly recommend a visit

Enjoyed the meal. There's more ribs under what's on show! Very filling. Friendly staff.

The guys John,Andy and his brilliant team have turned this place round,fantastic venue to drink eat and have a fun time we'll worth an evening there

We came to Knutsford for the weekend. We’d done a bit of restaurant research and discovered this place. We popped by Friday evening and booked a table for Saturday evening. Thank goodness we did. What a buzzing busy restaurant. Always a winning sign. The lady who served us was just wonderful. So polite, chatty, friendly and made us feel very at ease and welcome. Our food was absolutely delicious and we didn’t wait very long at all really. What a lovely lovely restaurant. Even had dessert which we seldom do when out. It was so good! Everything tasted so fresh and you could tell lots of effort had gone into meal prep and presentation. Such a lovely place. Highly recommended

Booked a work event for just over 20 people, from the first email to the last mouthful everything was superb. Everyone said how good the food was and how much they enjoyed the night. I think we’ll all be back.

After visiting the restaurant this evening, I just had to leave a review! By far the best customer service (sorry we didn’t catch names) and the food was amazing. We had a starter and main and both very filling and tasty! Would highly, highly recommend!

Very interesting menu - we had vegetarian & seafood starters, followed by the 'Pitmaster Platter' - a feast of different meat expertly cooked. Everything was absolutely delicious!

Lovely food and spot on service . 2nd visit . Skewers brisket both excellent washed down with a glass of malbec . One of the best restaurants in knutsford

I have visited the restaurant on a number of occasions and always thought the food was delicious! But a real testament to the restaurant was dealing with a party of 24 for my birthday !! Andy the manager was very attentive with our evening and the planning before hand to make sure everyone was happy. All the staff were super helpful and polite. Dietary requirements were taken care of too. The portion sizes of the food are generous and you can’t go wrong with the amazing hanging chicken kebab. Will definitely be there again thank you !!

It's OK. There is no atmosphere or fabric in the place so it is very noisy. Also kids party going on which was irritating. Wouldn't go here again. Also, a fast food restaurant would have delivered a better product.

Never had a bad experience here. Fantastic food and excellent service/price 👌

Anniversary meal last night with family . Fabulous food 😋 attentive staff . Was given complimentary champagne how nice was that . Definitely recommend 😊

‘Average’. Celebratory meal, adult family of four. Portions more than adequate but food quality poor in some instances. Onion bomb good. Calamari good but only a few pieces. Brisket and chicken very dry. Stacked burger beat a very hungry bloke. Pulled pork sitting in luke...

Great place for a family meal, excellent food, friendly staff, lots of choice on the menu and even plenty of options for veggies. Not the cheapest place but I'm a believer of you get what you pay for. We were a group of seven and...

Surprise it wasn't busier, the food was amazing, We've been hickory several times and the smokehouse was just as good if not a little nicer. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely go again

Excellent food and great service, couldn't fault it.

Awesome experience! We sat at the bar before being sat, and started with cocktails. The bartender was extremely pleasant. She recommended drinks, which were excellent! Once being sat we were greeted right away by a server who quickly delivered our wine. Food came out promptly and was delicious! Definitely worth adding the “magic dust” to the fries! The manager, Andy stopped by check on us throughout dinner. Fantastic food and service!! So much so, we stopped by again the next day for brunch. This was also perfect! I would highly recommend!!

Onion bomb great, brisket loaded fries, joke, no sauce, just small bowl of fries with a tiny bit of brisket on top, £9 .! Max n cheese tasted awful, won’t be back.

Superb visit, food was incredible and the staff were excellent. Will be back!

After a busy weekend decided to go out for treat, so decided to give S&c a go. Was not disappointed excellent location, large varied menu and friendly staff. Hard to choose what to have as all looked so good. Would recommend the onion blast which...

I feel like I have to edit my original review as the last few visits just haven’t been as good, maybe the charm of a new restaurant has worn off. We’ve been here for Birthdays and always had a free drink and a ‘happy birthday’, we recently visited for my daughters birthday and despite noting the occasion on the booking, there was no mention of it when we arrived or at any point during the meal. The food is still pretty good, service can be a bit slow despite it being quiet, a lot of staff stood around the bar chatting when they could be clearing plates, bringing the bill/card machine etc Original review: This place is superb. Excellent friendly service and the best burger I’ve had on UK soil. The burger was thick and juicy, magic dust fries were great. The menu is very similar to Hickory’s in Wilmslow but overall it’s a far better place. No compulsory service charge either. Looking forward to going back soon.

On arrival, the venue looked classy, smart, inviting. Large expansive area and yet we were sat (crammed) within earshot of 3 separate couples and a large table of 10. However, first time here - let’s give it a chance. Menu looked good. Far too late...

Visited here for the first time tonight and wouldn’t visit again. Nice restaurant and food ok but the service was shocking. We were seated at a booth with dirty lights (picture attached). We waited 15 minutes to order a drink. Shocking. When the food arrived,...

Absolutely superb food and atmosphere you think it’s just a standard pub food but it isn’t its a exquisite pub well class food. Recommend absolutely recommend it .

great friendly restaurant , fillet steak and bang bang cauliflower fajitas EXCELLANT . Mocktail for my partner which wasn't on the menu , Malbec for me , very nice service and food very good and not too expensive

First time at this restaurant and very curious to try the pulled brisket. Unfortunately the meat was very dry and not particularly tasty. Service good

Today was an unplanned visit because we had our hungry 3 year old with us, she had a meal and both her parents had a side order with a drink. Neither of us knew of Smokehouse & Cellar before today but we were absolutely won over by our experience. We were given top service by the friendly staff, the food was quickly prepared and brought to the table, the seating was comfortable and there's a welcome family friendly vibe which makes a big difference. Next time we visit, we'll allow ourselves more time to dine in so we can properly sample what's on offer. In the meantime I will definitely be recommending Smokehouse to family and friends.

Visited for the first time last night and had a fantastic experience. The food was delicious! we had the miss piggy burger and the baby back ribs both packed with flavour. The service was friendly and attentive and the decor stylish and cosy, we will...

A great night out, food, drink and atmosphere and service all brilliant. Had a variety of dishes between us all, all were superbly cooked and presented. Service was always with a smile and always attentive. Can't wait to visit again. Thank you to everyone at...

Fabulous place. Extensive menu really nice staff. When I booked the table i asked if it would be possible to put a balloon on the table as it was for my daughters birthday. They went to the trouble of getting a nice helium balloon and put it on the table ready for when we got there and didn't put anything on the bill for it. They were so lovely in there. Food was fab and the portions were huge and not expensive. Will definitely visit again Thankyou smokehouse and cellar for making her birthday a fab one.

Came for dinner with my girlfriend, food was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection, nice big portion sizes, loved all of it. The staff were really friendly and service was quick, will definitely be returning alot as everything on the menu looks amazing!

A truly fantastic restaurant in the heart of Knutsford! Lovely venue and great atmosphere, even on a Tuesday night, would be amazing Friday and Saturday nights. The place itself was very clean and well kept. Service was very speedy and staff were all friendly and accommodating. An extensive menu with options accommodating for everyone. The food was incredible, both in terms of presentation and taste! Good portion sizes and very filling. I would recommend both the sizzling rump steak fajitas and hanging chicken skewers. Will definitely be returning soon. A new must visit restaurant in Cheshire!

This is quite literally my favourite place to eat out. I adore the menu, and in my many visits I think I've now tried almost everything. A few favourites I keep coming back to are the boneless chicken wing starter with bourbon BBQ sauce, either the pulled pork or chicken waffles for my main, and if I think I can manage, the cookie dough dessert. Although I'm normally the designated driver, the un-pasteurised Staropramen is fantastic, as are the wide range of cocktails on the menu. The atmosphere is great, and we always feel very looked after by the staff who now recognise us when we come back. My kids also love the food and drinks, and we normally share a load of different starters between us. Every time we have people come to visit, we always take them to the Smokehouse as a treat!

We dropped in by chance. It was on the map with rave reviews. We'd got caught in the rain and had a brilliant day out. The place was easy to find. It's gorgeous. Food was yummy. Plenty of choice and portions very kind. We called in very early but would imagine the place is bouncing at weekends. The decor was classy and chic. The place well presented and staff very attentive. They have this spot on. We attended with 4 kids and whilst not the cheapest for kids it was easy on the purse given that not a morsel was wasted. Highly recommended for a treat.

We have just enjoyed a beautiful meal at the Smokehouse & Cellar; Miss Piggy burger, chicken skewer, followed by brownie with ice cream and churros. Everything was absolutely perfect and beautifully cooked. The staff are very attentive, without overcrowding, and my Aperol Spritz had been...

My family and I went for a meal on Saturday evening in July 2023. The restaurant was busy, and there was a good atmosphere. The food was nice, however they had run out of one of the types of fish meaning my mother-in-law had to choose something else. The servers were extremely polite, but run off their feet! I'd say that at least another 2 servers should have been on duty in my opinion. We ordered a dessert and it hadn't arrived by the time we'd finished our coffee's and liqueurs. The server was extremely apologetic and took it off the bill. All of us enjoyed the food, and we would most definitely return. I'd personally recement the ribs! They were the best I've had in the UK and wouldn't have been out of place in somewhere like Texas to be honest with you.

A good place to eat. The food was great and generous portions at a reasonable price. Friendly attentive staff.
