Stables Bar & Grill - Alsager in Cheshire East

An excellent venue, with well-tgought-out decor, a lovely ambience, great service and very good food. Well worth a visit. It's in the Manor House Hotel where they also have a spa and a swimming pool (apparently with a swim-up bar!) so you could tie the experience in with a getaway break. We didn't, we just ate, but it was a really nice place to go and reasonably priced, too.

Stayed at The Manor House - Alsager and Stables Bar & Grill is on premises. Breakfast each morning upstairs was excellent. Dinner one evening upstairs also excellent. The bar had plenty of seating and was good to relax each evening.

I couldn’t fault the service or the food during my visit this evening. We were served by a young lady who, despite it being her first day, was absolutely fantastic. If I hadn’t been told, I would never have guessed she was new! She made us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable throughout the meal. I feel awful for not catching her name, but she truly went above and beyond, contributing to a memorable experience. I’ll definitely be back again soon!

We love this place the food is amazing the staff are great

Delightful Sunday Lunch. Great setting, lovely food and good service…

Service great, food ok. Went for afternoon tea

Visited for an evening meal, the service was great and the food was delicious. We ordered the duck leg starter, rump steak and chicken supreme for mains and a brownie for dessert. Everything we ate was delicious and full of flavour ! The only issue I found was that the peppercorn sauce for the steak was really salty. Other than that it was one of the best meals we’ve had for a while! We will definitely be returning.

Good service and lovely food. Well worth a visit for a Sunday roast

Really enjoyed my Sunday Lunch one of the Best

As always, it is a great venue for Sunday lunch. Food is fresh and hot, with good portion size and delicious. And to top that, it was value for money. Look forward to return.

Really nice bar for a quiet drink. Nice sunny courtyard for the summer. Reasonably priced for a hotel.

We were so well looked after at a birthday party booking. Food was spot on and served by friendly capable staff.

Lovely afternoon tea with friends. Would recommend a visit.

Table was set beautifully and our meals were delicious. Service was excellent. A lovely evening

Fantastic place. Breakfast was amazing.

A group of 6 friends stayed at the Manor House Hotel, we thoroughly enjoyed an overnight stay and a meal in the Stables Bar & Grill, this is an upmarket venue. The atmosphere is second to none, the food is delicious and well presented. If the opportunity arises for further visits we will grab them with both hands.

Lovely food great service, was a bit cold on this visit!

I go to the Manor House regularly and I am a VERY fussy eater!!! They cater to all my allergies and my very high standards!! Always with a smile and never had there been a problem!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ❤!!!!

Great food and great staff, but becoming expensive to stay.

Beautiful hotel, food is amazing, friendly staff 👍

Luvly food Great staff well worth a visit for a Sunday lunch

Good place to have a meal. Spa facilities looked good too.

Excellent service and food from all of the team.

Went for birthday celebration with family for Sunday Lunch..bit of a disaster if we’re honest..staff were friendly, but service poor..cod starter over cooked..Sunday sharing platter pretty poor..everything stone cold apart from cauliflower cheese cooked to oblivion..desserts were ok apart from again cold sticky toffee pudding, cold custard with chocolate brownie..lovely latte coffee though..very overpriced and very underwhelming.

Quality ingredients resulted in good food. Pasta quantity was however on the small side as as main course

Superb meal, lovely staff, great atmosphere. We'll be going again

Food chosen- beef shin, chicken curry, haddock and chips. My husband enjoyed his beef shin, tender and flavoursome, the chicken curry was mundane. Then we come to the haddock and chips...you know when you go to a restaurant and you see a delicious, crispy battered fish delivered to somebodies table? Well it wasn't one of those. The battery wasn't cooked through, slimy next to the fish, inedible. The chips were white and hard. If they had ever bothered to ask "if everything is ok" then I would have sent it back. Service was non existent. Didn't even question why it was left on my plate.

Lovely foods and drink. Our fav to bring family here. Nice Sunday roast as well

Experience here has been hit and miss. Food is delicious and service is normally great. I have a dairy allergy and they don't seem to have a printed allergen menu so kitchen has to get involved. One day I placed an order and kitchen okayed it and food came within minutes, another day it took 30 mins to get told what could be dairy free and the dish I had the day before wasn't on that list. One of the days I was here on my own, I was put towards the reception area, a second solo also put out there like normal and the third was put there then moved so he could be closer to the fire as he was on his own 😐 Luck of the draw unfortunately.

Stayed here a few times when working away. Lovely room and great food

Attended several conferences and training courses here and always found the food to be lovely.

Good for a coffee, meetup, light lunch, little pricey for what it is, but good quality and comfortable enough, no complaints

Absolutely lovey places. Very tasty food and great choice of drinks. The atmosphere is so cosy and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Great food and service without fail every time

Excellent lunch in our first visit. We'll be back, thank you X

First visit, wow, nice decor, warm, friendly, professional, just one thing to improve, I only weight 73kg but found chairs tended to squeeze a little. Food and service are the best I have had in a long time. The management and staff should be proud of themselves. Will return. Keep it up.

Really tasty food, very enjoyable however poor service to go with it. Took ages to arrive once the order was finally made and after dinner the unbelievable the number of times I asked for the bill and more for the card machine. If the service improves (it must really) it will be a pleasure to visit.

We have been using the hotel to meet overnight with friends for 10 years or so. The restaurant as had its ups and downs. The hotel has been trying to upgrade itself since just before the pandemic. As such prices have increased and choices changed. No problem with that,however the quality and value is not as good. Food portions have deminished and food is served at irregular intervals sometimes cold.

First visit today. The restaurant is located inside the Manor house hotel and is spacious. The food was excellent. We had the burger and fish and chips and you may say you could get that anywhere but it was a nice change of setting and the price was compareable to anywhere else. Well cooked and filling. Good menu and well stocked bar. Ample on site parking.

Starter pil pil prawn was very good . large portion, large prawns, partially shelled to save hassle, lovely chilli oil. Described as coming with bread to dip into oil - only two small pieces but happy to bring me more and didn’t charge extra. Unfortunately massive let down by main course. Ok I only ordered burger and chips but sometimes you fancy something simple and sounded really good from menu…and for £16.50 I expected it to be. Firstly it was literally a burger in a bun and chips - not even a token side salad. There was supposed to be cheddar cheese in the burger - if there was any I couldn’t detect it. Most importantly, the burger was massively overdone and completely dry. Massive disappointment, would not return. Shame as the prawns were good.

Food was good but the service was very slow despite there not being many people in the restaurant. Took so long between receiving the dessert menu and actually being asked if I wanted anything that I had stopped feeling the slightest bit tempted snd just asked fir the bill.

Came for fathers day lunch and got a free pint! Not been before but the food was amazing! Only thing I would say is the service isn’t the quickest when collecting plates/next course etc But we were in no rush so it was all good Can’t wait to come back!

Lovely food, breakfast and dinner could not fault, the selection of drinks are very good compared others, the staff were friendly and attentive, and lovely period decor throughout restaurant, highly recommend

Carpets cleaned in restaurant by 2b clean

Interesting menu and great flavour. Great service too

Nice hotel, modern, clean tidy with a decent shower, nice bar and restaurant too. Service was excellent and friendly.

Very good value for the money staff are always excellent, one of my favourite places to eat

WOW AMAZING FOOD 👏 PROBABLY THE BEST FOOD IVE EVER TASTED All the staff were amazing polite didn't pester and so helpful great team went above and beyond 😊

Fabulous food friendly staff excellent service. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent food Excellent atmosphere really good evening...

Had the afternoon tea and was disappointed

Delicious food at a reasonable price. Enjoyed the dinner, bed and breakfast deal. Superb value and the Spa is excellent.

Good afternoon tea in a nice setting

Food, staff and service was very good

Absolutely perfect experience. I was with a party of 23, we had our own function room and the staff were brilliant, well organised and always made sure we were happy. Bar staff were also amazing. The food was spot on, I had beef croquettes, steak and ale pie and a brownie with ice cream, the pie was absolutely to die for, well filled and the steak just melted in your mouth. Really highly recommend and looking forward to coming back for date night!

Was pretty cool and prestigious feeling - I thought the napkins were fabric

Second time we have visited. Welcoming atmosphere, very friendly and warm staff. Sea bream was cooked perfectly. Very reasonably priced for the standard of cooking. Due to the length of time it took to cook the sea bream, complimentary rustic breads were offered. This was a nice touch. Risotto was lovely, however unfortunately a piece of broken crockery was round in the meal. Staff were quick to rectify by offering complimentary deserts. We didn’t have deserts in the end but were given 30% off the bill instead. Far beyond our expectation. We definitely won’t hesitate in returning; there is much more on the menu we would like to sample.

Great food, friendly professional staff, definitely returning soon.

Amazing experience from phoning to book to the outstanding food and service. Very fast food! Amazing full stop, thank you so much

Fantastic setting, food was gorgeous.

Excellent meal. Friendly staff.

Great place to eat and good service

Good selection of well cooked food Friendly staff Well worth a visit 🙂

Lovely restaurant with friendly and helpful staff. Pleasing decor and tables are well spaced observing Covid protocols but still ensuring a 'warm welcoming' ambiance. Varied dinner menu catering for all tastes - meat-eaters, pescatarian and vegetarian. The sea bass was delicious but my husband really enjoyed the perfectly cooked braised beef. The presentation was excellent. There are Daily wine offers to accompany an evening meal - we enjoyed a lovely Australian Riesling very reasonably priced at £18. A most enjoyable meal!

Wedding & Reception held here. What a night! Much fun & hilarity with great service from the crew

Great food and ambience, wines reasonably priced. Service good and staff friendly. Overall a nice dinning experience.

Catching up with a friend in a lovely environment with the most amazing food. Very happy

Lovely surroundings and good food

Very nice place to eat, the food was lovely. The evening service was very efficient, but the breakfast service was very very slow, we were seated upstairs. I find it very odd that the food comes out of the kitchen upstairs but the drinks come from downstairs. Why a coffee machine can't be upstairs to make it easier and faster service is beyond me. I ordered porridge with honey at 9.30am, I had to ask where it was at 10am. When it came it was like wallpaper paste, I had a couple of mouthfuls and left it, it was horrible. The rest of the breakfast was very tasty. The service needs to be looked at and made more efficient.

Nice surroundings and good service. Slight hiccup with food but they more than made up it.. you can't fault them when they put it right and go the extra as a result

Had a sunday lunch Excellent service was very good Staff lovely friendly and efficent

Great service, comfy surroundings, and lovely food. We were here for breakfast and really enjoyed the experience.

Good food just a little better than a pub meal

Excellent staff in these testing times. They were friendly & attentive. The new menu was introduced whilst we were there & the food was plentiful & tasty.

Now meeting up with school friends, I had prawn and crab linguine, absolutely delicious, served beautifully, service was good, the brownies after was very good hopefully will be going again at the end of October, would recommend

Had a lovely couple of hours sitting outside supping Cider while a wedding party were celebrating inside, there were couples having a meal and a quiet drink. This is what the Manor Hotel can cope with and caters for, and does very well.

Really enjoyed the food here. Service was quick and friendly.

Very polite and attentive waiting staff. Food was well prepared and tasty.

What a fantastic hotel and bar, the staff do the hotel proud and the owner mucks in as well, will definitely stop here again, anyone reading this, won't go wrong at all staying here

Really nice, employees are so friendly. Food great and enough booze on bottomless brunch. Will be back, thanks

Fantastic food and service as always, lovely surroundings definitely recommend 👍

Great food and nice relaxed atmosphere.

Very good quality food from an interesting menu.Lovely, friendly staff.

Excellent restaurant highly Recommended

We have just left Stables Bar and Grill after having lunch as a party of 3 adults and 2 children. Before ordering I asked if there was a children's roast available for our 8 year old. We were told there was a smaller portion available for children but what was brought, and charged £11 for, was the smaller adult portion. Our daughter was only able to eat half of the meal. I had the same meal and couldn't finish it either. We were also shocked at the charge of £6.30 for two glasses of lemonade, which were not listed on the menu for us to have seen how exorbitantly priced they were. The food that we had was tasty, and the service quick, but the Stables does not cater for children and is not good value.

A nice place to for evening meals or dates😉 Good food and service.

We live in Stoke n fancied trying somewhere different. We were so impressed with the whole experience. Service was excellent, covid rules in place and followed but relaxed. The meal was outstanding, probably the best we've had in a long time and gf option was catered for with no drama which was also very pleasing. We will be going again, it's definately worth the extra 10minute traveling time and I definately recommend a trip here.

Atmosphere combined with lovely helpful staff .The foods pretty good too.Never fails.

Nice birthday evening meal..... Lovely food

Pricy, but nice food and staff.

Nice restaurant in a lovely setting, menu fairly priced for the food on offer. Food tasted great and was well presented. Service was slow on the main course, however staff did proactively apologise for this. When entering the restraunt you are drawn upstairs to wait for a table, however as we were sat downstairs it seemed poorly positioned. Menus had sticky resedue on, somthing I feel can easily be avoided and takes the edge off nice restaurant.

Very pleasing surrounding also excellent food selection

Great for Christmas party nights

Good food, good service, good atmosphere

We had a table reserved her tonight and were looking forward to a wonderful celebration, ten adults and one 8 month old. Every expectation of this venue was exceeded and I can not compliment them enough. The food was absolutely perfect, the boardroom looked fantastic and the staff were amazing, nothing was to much trouble and their timing was impeccable. I would thoroughly recommend dining here and for special occasions they clearly go the extra mile.

Been coming here for years, and to the Manor House restaurant before then. Food is fantastic and staff are wonderful and friendly.

I had my first meal here in January. It was absolutely fantastic. I had the ham hock. It was that good I have booked in to the hotel for 7th November till the 9th November this year. I live in France. The staff were very attentive and my thanks go out to the chef and all his staff

Great service food is not good and very expensive

Have dined here often over the last 3 years food and service is consistently good. Definately recommend.

Great food, at a reasonable price, friendly, helpful staff finish off the dining experience, whole family enjoyed the meal out.
