Sutton Hall in Cheshire East

Because I am housebound we had a takeaway meal. We all enjoyed the excellent food. I had the sea bass it was delicious. one of us had the excellent vegan option. Thank you

Food was cold, chicken was like a shoe dry af. roast potatoes left under a heat lamp for hours. Over £20 for a roast. Hell no. Stunning building though, waitress was lovely though.

There were 9 of us booked for a Sunday evening sitting at around 6pm. Overall a lovely place, beautiful building, friendly staff and generally the food is good. We didn’t have to wait too long for the dishes to come out but they where bringing them out one or two at a time with big gaps in between so by the time we could all start eating alot of the elements on the plate where cold. The greens on the plate came out cold anyway. They’d ran out of beef roasts and all condiments which is bizarre and bad organisation. If you have a booking made a week in advance you should be able to work out based on averages, past Sundays etc, how much food to prep for a Sunday service so you don’t run out, specially something like beef on a Sunday. 🤷‍♀️ Me being the only vegan 🙄 I had the nut roast option. Carrot was cooked well with a bite. The greens, kale, cabbage and leek, were cold and raw. I can deal with raw kale and cabbage if they have some heat. But raw leek-cold was not pleasant, like eating a raw onion on a Sunday Roast- it’s jarring to the palate. The hassle-back potato’s, aside from where the knife cuts were placed, were raw and I couldn’t eat them. The gravy seemed bought in but the nut roast did have some nice flavours and was the best part of the dish. I did feel the ratio was way off however, the nut roast was a giant mound and then a small amount vegetables although that’s just my preference, because I love vegetables. I would definitely return to try their weekday menu and the vegan dessert. Aside from my dish and the greens on everyone’s plate, the food was good for everyone else. It’s got a lovely atmosphere and great drinks selection, specially the whisky.

Booked a last minute roast this Sunday. Great service and the food was delicious! Lovely cozy atmosphere too. Will definitely be back!

Good food, great service, excellent beer.

Quite a special place, this has tons of atmosphere with muskets on the walls and really old parts of the building to dine in - ask to be placed in the Fireroom or the Library - both have large fireplaces. Next to the canal so there's a 2 hour circular walk to walk off the Sunday Lunch. We went for the Afternoon Tea which was quite special, had 2 hot plates of food as well as the cakes which was quite unexpected.

Beautiful. From service to food to atmosphere, I loved everything about my recent visit to Sutton Hall. I will definitely be back. Food was delicious!

10/10 Sunday roast this time.. let’s hope next time is as good!

The best Lamb in the area by some margin !

Been here many times for just drinks and took my dad here for another lovely meal. High quality food and friendly and helpful staff.

We had a lovely meal on Christmas Eve. The service and food were excellent. It was very busy but the staff were lovely and so efficient. Will definitely return in the new year!

Retirement do - with 14 of us attending. Excellent food as always, really good service and very good value. Couldn't have been better!

Great place to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. The food is super, the service is excellent and the atmosphere is fantastic. We will return on a regular basis.

Pub set in an excellent location. A bit expensive but the location and interior more or less make up for it. Good selection of drinks. Food menu is just about ok but there is also the element of personal preference there. Overall a good pub to go for team dinners or some special family occasions.

Took the family here for a Birthday meal. Great value, service and a wonderful spot in general.

I recently visited Sutton Hall in Macclesfield, and I can confidently say it’s miles ahead of the competition. From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptionally warm and attentive—a stark contrast to the dismissive and unbothered attitude we’ve encountered elsewhere. Sutton Hall’s team went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect, and it truly showed. The highlight of our visit was the Malaysian curry, which was absolutely outstanding. Bursting with flavor, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented, it was everything a great meal should be. Every bite was a joy, and it’s clear the kitchen team knows exactly what they’re doing. Having made the mistake of dining at the Ryles Arms previously, I can’t stress enough—don’t waste your time there. The food at Sutton Hall is leagues better, the service is far more professional, and the overall atmosphere is just so much more pleasant. Ryles Arms doesn’t even come close to matching the quality or care that Sutton Hall delivers. If you’re in the area, make the right choice and go to Sutton Hall. Fantastic food, exceptional service, and an experience worth every penny.

I have coeliac disease. I contacted before my visit I was reassured by the staff. When we arrived they were aware of my food intolerance. A member of staff talked me through things and showed me the barcode to scan for more information. All the food was delicious and very good sized portions. Staff were attentive checking if we needed more drinks. I would fully recommend

Wonderful authentic old building. Great atmosphere, great food and attentive service.

Amazing service and food provided. Will definitely be back!

Always good at Sutton Hall, our waitress did an exceptional job. The food was outstanding only surpassed the the level of service...well done Dave L

We attended Sutton Hall for our office Christmas meal. We had such a positive experience from start to finish. The pre-ordering of the menu was simple and easy to use for our guests (even catering for allergies). The service at the restaurant was friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. Given our number, we were given our own room, which was perfect (and beautifully festive). I would definitely recommend Sutton Hall for group events. Thank you.

Beautiful building in a lovely setting. Fantastic meals, turkey dinner and venison hotpot both superb. Great service. Recommend the mulled wine too. Really smart place for a good meal.

Had a lovely meal today can’t believe how nice the place is x

Excellent Sunday Roast! We celebrated my Birthday there today and we loved it!

We have been coming here for over 20yrs. Family celebrations. Evening meals and daily lunches. The past 3 times we have visited we have felt disappointed. The menu isn't that much different but certain things have gone. No custard with the sticky toffee pudding !!! Surely that's a must. If fact no hot desserts as such. Our mains were ok but definitely not the usual standard. They were just OK. Fat oven chips and not many, the rump steak in the sandwich was just warm and quite dry. The garnish was limp and drab. Basic chunky bread roll. For nearly £15 should be better. We eat out at lots of places so we judge fairly. I know it's a chain pub but the quality of cooking and ingredients should and can be improved easily. Unfortunately we will not return for some time. Hoping that things will change in the future. 🤞🏻

It's a lovely place and the food was very very nice. Bar service was friendly and quick. Food did take a long time to come out (felt like an age between starters and mains) and the waiting staff seemed pressured and a bit stressed. It was overall a nice experience, it just seemed there was a disconnect between who was running the floor and who was running the kitchen.

Fabulous food, great location, can't wait to go back

This is a place we love coming back to. The food and service are excellent. It is one of the few places I feel confident with as I have allergies and intolerances. They are very thorough and accommodating with what I can/can't eat. I can't praise them highly enough and definitely recommend them.

Gorgeous pub in a lovely setting. All staff were really friendly and professional and had everything running like clockwork. We arrived an hour early for our reservation but they managed to get us to a table within minutes, nothing was too much trouble. Food was absolutely delicious. I had the mixed roast which I would highly recommend.

Beautiful setting, lovely accommodation, top food, great service and good value! What more could you ask for?

Thank you for a great Sunday lunch today. You have the knack of understanding customer needs and going the extra mile to meet them. Well done to everyone in your team.

VERY NICE CHEESE PIE! Very gorgeous 400 year old building

Fabulous food, excellent service and the setting is stunning; can't wait for a return visit.

food was absolutely perfect! had a roast beef dinner, the beef was absolutely amazing cooked to perfection surely! was a splendid end to my week. can not fault the staff either so well mannered it was unbelievable. i’m certain i’ll be visiting again very soon.

Really pleasant experience in Sutton Hall on Friday evening. Delicious food, lovely atmposhere, fantastic staff who eventhough was busy they did they best to fullfill all customers needs. Especially big shout out to Katie who from the start went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and when I've asked to move table although was busy she found us the table in much more quieter area and the request she took with smile and understanding. Well done to Sutton Hall team!!! My favourite place to go for a drink, to eat and to just chill. Just love it everythong about this place. Thank you and I will see you all very soon😁

A first visit for me, a lovely old hall in pretty grounds. The Service, food ,& ambience were excellent.

Really great food, service, setting as per usual. :)

Visited at 3pm on a Friday without booking but was greeted and given a table straight away. Menus on the table when arrived and then not log after being there table water was given and drinks ordered taken. Drinks arrived a few mins later where we put our food order in (2 x Cheese, onion and potato pie with veg) and this arrived reasonably quickly. The pies were delicious and as served with just veg it wasn't too filling. Good food, good service and a quiet atmosphere despite it being a Friday

Delicious lunch with period character surroundings.

I have been to Sutton Hall a few times and ever time has been a delightful experience, I am vegan and there is a few options for me to eat and they are delicious. Every member of staff are very accommodating especially with the needs of our little baby. I would like to say a special thank you to Neve who has alway gone out their way to be as helpful as possible.

Excellent food excellent staff very friendly

Really great spot for a bite to eat or relaxed drink. The vegan food is incredible… the chef really knows how to cater to dietary needs. Apple and chicory risotto as a starter, followed by a mushroom bourguignon pie… and a cheesecake for dessert (all vegan, all great size portions and all delicious!). Really happy every time I visit. The staff are really friendly and attentive. Sadly they don’t do cocktails, other than the specific five they list. Shame they can’t add a few classics, Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Martini. I think that would elevate the whole thing up another notch. Anyway, I highly recommend.

Been coming here for years. Always great food, super value and just the best staff.

Been coming here for 10 years and it's always been decent. The kids chicken was so salty it was indeble. The beef bourgion was truly awful. Used chicken gravy as the sauce...we got a spoonful..Feather blade was so dry....absolutely terrible meal. No argument by the staff on removing the meals from the bill. Never again...

Very enjoyable visit. Very good quality food too.

Stately home of Lord Lucan with plenty of nooks and crannies to hide in and expansive grounds. Now a pub with excellent food and drink. Always a delight - except at my last visit when I was appalled to see they had erected an enormous oppressive canopy in the rear courtyard with huge flames from outside gas fired heaters continuously warming up the planet despite nobody being sat there. Displaying that you don't care about pointlessly burning fossil fuels does not set a good environmental example especially when there's nobody sat outside because anyone with any sense on a cold day would be sat inside keeping warm. Turn it off and get rid of it!

Beautiful location. Had a great day out there for a family meal. Went back later on for a drink outside. Definitely recommend it!

Great food and service to match. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice brunning and price pub on outskirts of Macclesfield. Historic building and a lovely setting. Popular for lunch. Large outside area. Good service. Serving several ales. Good for a stopover. 🍻 🚐

Beautifully Hall, superbly renovated. Lovely outdoor terrace and gardens - definitely worth a visit.

Lovely food, friendly staff and fabulous setting. 👌

Fantastic place, lively surroundings, great food, and excellent service. Beef and pork belly roast was wonderful. Staff are so helpful and friendly.

Had breakfast at Sutton Hall this morning, great food, good service and friendly atmosphere, beautiful building.

Great food, friendly staff, nice location.

Went here for food after a dog walk. Really great gem of a gastro pub and food was delicious.

We used to live in Macclesfield and this was our Sunday lunch destination. Lovely place

Fantastic food and extremely pleasant surroundings. Staff are great.

Went for our evening meal yesterday. Although my meal order was wrong, this was quickly rectified by our waiter. All staff courteous and helpful, with some money knocked off our bill in way of recompense. Excellent food and service, will definitely be back. ☺️

We popped in for a drink when we moored near by. It is in a beautiful setting and very dog friendly. Good variety of drinks and snacks. The food that we saw coming out looked very good and will definitely be eating here when we pass next time.

Big shout out to the staff at Sutton Hall!! ,myself and two friends had been on an extended walk, beautiful day and we ended up at Sutton Hall for drinks when my diabetic alarm went off unexpectedly , the manager and young girl behind the bar were so nice they gave me bread and jam to help raise my sugars which it did along with the two glasses of fresh orange juice i had bought earlier. So Thank you again you were superstars 🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩

Beautiful place staff are incredibly helpful and polite. The food was great, and the views were beautiful.

Beautiful location, food and great service from Archie!

A very picturesque place to visit with loads of history and something else to see around each corner

Very lovely staff, they were attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was pleasant, main meals were substantial and delicious, and it was nice to see upcoming events held in such a family friendly place :)

Nice but very expensive. £12.15 for a pint of coke and a bacon and egg bap.

Beautiful pub in a beautiful location.

Very busy today so slow service. Food was good as always.

Just dropped into this great bar/restaurant as it was somewhere I knew from 20-30 years ago. Great setting, food and service

Despite making notes of 2 high chairs required for the booking. We turned up to find there weren't any left. We tried to go elsewhere but it was too late. We weren't able to eat and had to wait for high chairs. We got one, fed one baby then my mums food was cold cause she couldn't eat. I rushed my food so I could take a baby from her so she could eat her cold food. You need to communicate with your customers. We were regular customers but we won't be back now. Really disappointed. Paid £140 to be wound up. Had we been called/warned we could have done something about it. Manager said that they have 7 seats and give them out until they run out and that not everyone makes a note on the booking. But we had. Unacceptable response, suggest you train managers on customer service. Also get more than 7 high chairs for a restaurant of your size. Evidently not enough. Better customer service in a supermarket cafe.

I'm giving 5 stars with a but, I ordered the chicken breast with sautéed gnocchi, with the grilled little gem and mint oil I thought it would be a great dish to complement the heat today! It truly was on its 3rd attempt, unfortunately the first time it was sent to our table it was covered in beef gravy which completely ruined the dish, i unfortunately had to go and find some waiting staff who after reading the menu told me its meant to come with gravy... an italian insprired chicken dish doesn't tend to come with beef gravy but changed it anyway after a short wait we received them again however aswell as no gravy half of the dish wasn't there, we did point this out but she ran off and ignored us... saving grace is the Spanish FOH guy (sorry that we shouted you over but you seem to be the only one doing anything), what a legend he brought the dishes back and correct in the blink of an eye, excellent and well thought out dish that came together beautifully in the end. Definitely worth a visit, there was a function on and apparently its a new dish, maybe we just had a bad experience

The food was amazing, great choice and quality. The atmosphere was relaxed and extremely enjoyable.

Probably one of the most gorgeous places we have visited. We stayed over in our van Thursday night with our dogs and had a lovely time relaxing here, playing chess, walking etc. Fantastic selection of food and drinks. Really welcoming place with lovely staff

Rediscovered this place over the last few months after not having been for a few years. Service is always great along with the food, with the Sunday lunch being the highlight! Perfect place to wander to on a walk and they are great with dogs too!

The food was good and the staff were helpful and friendly

Everything always perfect at Sutton Hall. Also love the garden bar and bbq.

Amazing location! Just wow! Perfect setting for a great sunday roast! Massive portions! Impeccable service! Loved it!

Fantastic place. Can't recommend enough. All the staff were really friendly and welcoming to us and our 2 dogs. Food was wonderful and never seen such an extensive gluten free menu.

We arrived in a campervan for a free nights parkup and something to eat, well we really enjoyed the evening the food was great a good variety of beers in the bar and live music which was very good. We had a great time the grounds are lovely and the walks extremely good in the area, all in all it's a lovely place

Fantastic atmosphere, beautiful building. Food is to die for, extremely friendly staff and dog friendly!

Very nice restaurant, The meals were very well cooked and tasty and good portions Very clean Staff were curtious and professional, the place is massive and reminds me of a Warren,lots of rooms I went there a few times in the past ,and never remember it being so big There is only one set of toilets 🚻 that I could see. We were seated at the front of the restaurant, The toilets were at the back My walking isn't great, and the last thing I wanted to do is to walk a long way to the toilet So if you are infirm or elderly maybe ask to be nearer those toilets and park at the back of the property

On the 27th April this year we had our wedding reception with Sutton Hall. The food was incredible and the service outstanding. Very clean, and lovely atmosphere. We were so happy with everything and they were completely faultless. If you are thinking of having a private party for a wedding, birthday, anniversary, or other occasion, I highly recommend Sutton Hall. Big shout out to Leanne and Thomas who helped us make sure everything was in order, the communication was fab. Thank you for making our very special day memorable - Mr. And Mrs. Turner.

Shared the beautiful wedding of Becky and Tom Pickford x

Had a lovely meal with my partner as it was my birthday. Staff were very nice and left you to enjoy your meal

Sutton Hall was very nice , situated in very nice grounds , with outdoor tables for eating. We had lunch inside , it was very nice and staff were very good and helpful.

Food was mediocre. Steak sandwiches were cold and rolls hard. Prawn sandwich was very basic with small shrimps.

S H which it's now called in the right circles Is daaaaaammmmnb good place to have a meal. Quality establishment from the original features of the manor to the Excel service and food. Top notch. X

My friends recommended Sutton Hall… It was a birthday treat . Beautiful venue, sadly pricey mediocre food at best.- Asparagus- 4 spears, overcooked dry ‘poached egg’ thrown on the plate …come on guys!!! We ordered Nut Roast for main course …. Mmmnnnnn still not sure what we ate though granted we did eat the sloppy, tasteless mush as we’d completed a super long walk and we were hungry. I think they were Hasselback potatoes, small and dry x 3, some sort of greens and packet vegan gravy. ( a crime scene ). Clearly the chef has NEVER eaten this dish, hates nut roast and the guests who order it. The beautiful venue does the ‘heavy lifting’ shame about the low quantity expensive food. Thanks but no thanks .

The food was great and the atmosphere was relaxed. Very appreciative of being able to bring our dog as it meant we were able to tie our visit in with a walk!

Disappointed expensive for what you got. Some of our meal was Luke warm

Lovely food and atmospere. Service exceptional

Great Sunday Roast - best I’ve out in years. Lovely spot - definitely one for the summer.

Went for Sunday brunch. Quite quiet but very pleasant. Service very good and food as well.

Very nice food, freindly and attentive service, lovely surroundings. 2 drinks, open prawn s/w and a homemade fish finger s/w, bowl of chips £36. More than ample for a lunch.

A nice pub, although the food often takes a while to arrive.

One of the best Sunday roasts I have ever had, beautiful atmosphere and super friendly staff.

Nice beers, great outdoor spaces, friendly staff.

Superb visit after many years away. The place is beautiful, staff friendly, attentive and knowledgeable, food excellent and beers exceptionally kept with a great range. Already planning my next lunch.

Lovely pub very atmospheric with awesome food and drink to be had!

Would just like to say - the fella behind the bar is a proper miserable git. Seen happier fellas in strangeways. For 7£ a Guinn, it’s me who ought to be crying. The beer garden is top draw. Ps if the lad behind the bar’s dog died today, then I’m sorry and take this back. Cheers

Lovely gardens. Food was great, outdoor patio area was lovely. Be nice to the sheeps.
