The Bleeding Wolf in Cheshire East

Only dropped one star because they were so busy; but that does say something in itself!?

A great place to have a meal. The restaurant is inviting, clean with a nice ambience. I had the duck starter with skinny fries. Unfortunately the duck was a bit overcooked and crispy for my liking. The fries were delicious. Hubby had gammon which he loved and my friends had the unicorn pie which they thoroughly enjoyed. Free parking, very friendly staff. Highly recommended and I would come again.

Food way over priced, seafood linguine consisted of 4 mussels some salmon and some white fish what was not sure of swamped in sauce and supposed sea food hidden by garlic bread. Mrs went for chicken burger but was disappointed aswell. The beer is expensive compared to other local pubs. Outside area is good for kids but you can't order food to this area. I would post a photo but unfortunately it won't let me 👎

We were in the first room on entering the restaurant which was ok but next time we would ring and order a table for two in the more homely other room.

Great food. Staff were really friendly.

Lovely food, lovely staff. My husband always goes for the fish pie, but it wasn't on the menu this.

This really is a brilliant pub. For me, it manages to be everything for everyone, somehow without over stretching itself. Real ale, great menu, "proper pub" feel at the bar, fantastic outdoor space with play equipment for kids and a great story behind the name. There's regular events (everything from gin festivals to car shows) and on a bank holiday there's usually a bouncy castle out the back. The team are wonderful and management work hard to make the pub part of the village community. Booking ahead for a meal recommended!

Great food in a lovely atmosphere. What a lovely place

The service provided by the staff was friendly but slow. The quality of the food was a bit disappointing. The chicken Kebab only had 3 small pieces of chicken and the rest were just onions, peppers and salad. For the price it was definitely not worth it! The mushy peas that accompanied the fish and chips was really dry and rather unpleasant. We had to ask 3 times for a glass of water.

Really good food, staff were lovely, will definitely return

ambiance was nice but food was average and overcooked. Chicken burger was dry and my daughters burger was well overcooked. The staff asked too late if the meal was ok because my daughter was staving and ate her chips/ Yes we got a free dessert for her in replacement but you would expect the food to be of better quality especially as the pub was quiet.

Lovely food, great service, enjoyed everything.

We went for lunch with some in laws. It was very nice, good food, hearty portions, we’ve dined there before and always enjoyed it.

Five of us came on Tuesday for the “Chippy Tuesday Tea” , and what a fabulous chippy tea it was too! Lovely pieces of white fish, cooked to perfection and piping hot, every single one of us cleared our plates 😋 Great friendly & professional service as well, we will definitely be back!

We nipped on for lunch after being at Freeport talke, my partner has been a couple of times before with a friend and she suggested here, seated straightaway, partner had the brie wedges and scampi off the 2/3 course lunch menu and as there was £5 off the burgers on a Thursday I had the peri peri wings starter and the salt & pepper chicken burger as it was £5 off, drinks came quickly, starters were lovely, my wings were done superb and I was surprised at the size of the Brie wedges starter as well, we polished off the starters and then for the mains, the salt & pepper fries with the chicken burger are superb, 2 big onion rings in a very light batter, really nice coleslaw as all, partner has scampi with nice chunky homemade chips, peas and tartare sauce, both polished off and nothing left as they were lovely, definitely coming back, food excellent, service excellent 5 star from me

The food is always good, my only criticism is having to ask for a non dog friendly table, seems a very backwards rule.

Excellent food, great atmosphere and welcoming, friendly staff.

We were given the menu with the offer of 2 courses for £13, or 3 courses for £15(I think) My friend and I have health issues and just wanted to have a starter and dessert, but we weren’t allowed to do this. We thought it was very strange as overall it was cheaper for the pub if we did so. There seemed to be no leeway, computer says no. So we ended up just having soup, which was lovely.

Lovely fresh, hot food, and staff were very friendly to. It was very busy, but we didn't pre book, but they still found us a table, and the wait wasn't to long.

Fish and chips today,perfectly cooked followed by crumble ,first class friendly service from Jenny and Courtney, great beer as well

Such a lovely place with friendly staff. Dogs welcome too which is a bonus

Ive just being for fish n chips all I can say the food yet again is amazing Jenny is so friendly This is my favourite place to eat

The staff team alone - Courtney, chef and co are amazing. We did a do and it was very well coordinated, food was absolutely great and the staff team were super helpful and friendly. Can’t thank them enough.

My husband and I took my Nan for a meal here this evening. The food was delicious, the service was superb, the prices were also very reasonable. We would highly recommend it and will be back in the near future. My husband said it was the best gammon he's ever had. Thank you so much :)

Popped in this lunch time for a drink The atmosphere was absolutely lovely & staff really welcoming and friendly Had a look at the menu it was so good Will definitely be back soon for a meal & a drink

The Bleeding Wolf Scholar green is a great typical English pub / restaurant situated on the main A34 between Stoke & Congleton. Built in 1935 ish it still has some original features and is serviced by a large well marked out car park. We booked a table for 11 for a 60th birthday celebration & we were seated in their function room where we had plenty of room on a large dark wood table fit for a banquet . The menu is varied & well priced for the quality of food. I started with crispy duck in 2 bau buns with a very tasty spicy sauce dip. Others had halloumi fingers & dip & the Irish mussels - all of which were also delicious & very tasty I followed with traditional beef Sunday lunch with full trimmings - delicious hot & well worth the cost. I treated my waistline to a dessert & had an ice cream sundae served in a traditional jug pint glass & the fact that I wanted no cream made room for an extra scoop of ice cream and was no trouble to the chef. Others in my party had Fish & Chips or Scampi & the choice of desserts were varied. The food was hot & the service was first class - No request was too much trouble even though the pub was full to the brim with diners so I would suggest booking in advance. A good atmosphere in nice warm surroundings made this meal a pleasure & I would not hesitate to recommend this pub / restaurant which was first rate in my opinion.

Beautiful, cozy pub a bit outside of Stoke on Trent. We had a great evening. The service was quick and friendly, the food was delicious and piping hot and the vibes were on point. What more could you want?

Dog friendly. Staff were helpful and friendly. Food well cooked and good quality. Portions were very good for hungry people.

I have eaten here several times .. it’s my go to place for fabulous food and great service.. it’s a lovely welcoming pub and the staff go above and beyond!!.. fish and chips !!… wow 😮 the best anywhere..👍

Great friendly service, fantastic food

A very hospitable welcoming place. The staff are very friendly and attentive. A good variety and selection of food .

A nice place, clean and very friendly staff. Food was lovely.

30% off for bookings in January

Excellent quality and value - had the 'chippy Tuesday' fish n chips.

Even though it was busy sorted a table for us and couldn't do enough for us

Mediocre food at best, chicken in burger was dry and chips were very greasy

Nice place friendly staff good atmosphere, but food was average 2 red tai chicken curry at £16 pound each is not a bad price but it was just chicken sauce and rice with not much flavour we thought more could have gone into the curry but it hasn't put us off its a nice place maybe try again in the future

Thank you for a lovely evening. We were very impressed that you managed to serve all meals at a table for 14 all at once! Well done. Food and service all excellent.

Lovely food friendly and attentive staff dog friendly in bar area not to far to walk from canal

What a Sunday lunch stunning meal staff are so pleasant n helpful

Fantastic place for a meal. Good menu with friendly staff and quick service.

Fantastic place to eat and drink.

A nice authentic venue with a rare (for Cheshire) thatched roof.

Lovely place, warm friendly atmosphere with beautiful food

After seeing so many good reviews I really had high expectations but when I rang I asked for a table out of the way in a corner how ever the table we had was in the middle of the room like it had just been dropped there. Food was okay but not the best I had garlic mushrooms with toasted bread fingers and it was over cooked and really hard mains were decent bit pricey for what we had but then I had banoffee sundea which after eating a few small spoon fulls discovered black mushy banana the restaurant did knock this off the bill but still shouldn't serve food in this quality feel let down after we spent 97£ on food for just 2 of us P.s thanks for reply here is a screenshot of the date and time I rang so it was just over a week because of the reply making out I'm a lair I've decided to remove a star

Stone cold pudding, rock hard pastry. Lovely place, disappointed they have removed onion barges from the starter. One duck bao bun also hot the other piping hot.

We love it here. The food is always hot, good quality and big portions. There is lots of choice and some menu items change regularly. Staff are always really welcoming and make us at home! They cater really well to allergies and dietary requirements. Really impressed with the staff and food here.

Excellent tasty food and brilliant service from the young ladies, despite it being a very busy lunchtime....really enjoyed our visit - many thanks !!

Really nice lunch with family on a day close to Christmas. Cosily decorated, staff were very attentive and friendly, food was piping hot with a good selection for vegetarians, and a nice Chilean sauvignon blanc. It was really busy but we weren't rushed, there were groups of people in for Christmas lunches and still everything was really good. Would definitely recommend

First class tasty meal,friendly staff 😋, Santa is on the tree,Thanks for everything once again ,keep upthe good work,Thanks Jen,

Last time I had a meal here it was Lovely and plenty of it. This time the service was extremely poor with the most ignorant young waitress there could possibly be. No smile no help at all in fact just this continues miserable face with a very abrasive attitude. The meal I chose was gammon steak, I asked if it was a premium steak as this makes a big difference to the quality. When it arrived I just knew it was not and there wasn't much of it either, likewise with the chunky chips, very disappointed with the whole experience from start to finish. Definitely gone down hill since my last visit. £60.00 down the drain.

Great meal and great atmosphere. Staff excellent

We have been to The Bleeding wolf at Christmas time for 3 years as a party of 60 plus food and service are always second to none Thankyou

Not been before but will definitely be going again 👍

Always have a lovely meal here. Went once and had choico pasta it was delicious but not seen it on the menu since, I'm sure it will be back sorry missed the chicken out but it was lovely 😊

Absolutely lovely pub, our food was delicious and the service was friendly, relaxed and efficient without being obtrusive. Well done to the team also your Christmas decorations are gorgeous. My lunchtime visit has certainly put me in the mood for Christmas !

What can I say went for Xmas meal 14th dec it was one of the best meals I've had in a long long time staff are so friendly Landlady is so friendly n polite its my favourite pub to eat

Steak and ale pie was beautiful. They found us a table on a busy Saturday

Great pub with super-friendly staff. Chippy Tuesday is a family favourite :)

Absolutely lovely food and all the staff were fantastic and so polite. Steak was cooked to perfection as well. Definitely recommend it

Great atmosphere it was a loverly day out with friends

We came here this morning for breakfast with Santa. First time here and what a beautiful pub with lovely friendly warm staff. The breakfast was lovely and the Santa was the best I’ve seen. My son loved every minute. Thank you for a lovely morning.

Just back from our work Christmas lunch and what a lovely place. Was very impressed with the décor of the pub, it really made me want to stay. It was lovely and warm and the Christmas decorations were amazing. The food was great and the staff were brilliant. I'll definitely go again!

Asked for plain chicken and received a flat burnt thing that was hard on the edges and only managed eat the centre of it, the fries were more like the bits that are left at the end of a frozen bag. Husbands scampi and mother's fish were both very greasy and tasteless. Lived in the area for 55 years and this was the first time we came here and the last.

Absolutely beautiful meal from the Christmas menu. The service was very good a lovely Christmas atmosphere. Three course meal. Well worth it!

I was with a group of six for a Pre Christmas get together on 06/12/24 and we really enjoyed the experience. The food and choice of beers were excellent and I have to praise the service given by the staff. Thank you again 🌲and have a lovely successful Christmas.

Once again our bowls club have had a great meal at the Bleeding Wolf for our Xmas get together. The food was excellent and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Thanks very much for making us welcome. Already booked for next time. 👍😁

We went on Sunday for a family lunch, could not fault anything. Food was delicious, no waiting. Staff were really attentive and friendly. A lovely cosy feeling. Will be booking again very soon.

Really nice food! Highly recommended the pie. Large deserts. Great value for money

Another great night spent at the Bleeding Wolf celebrating our daughter's 50th birthday a party of 15.out standing food and staff could not do enough for us.Thank. you so much for making our daughter's evening a memorable one.We will definitely be returning 100% recommended.

Good service good food great Sunday roast, the vegetables were cooked perfectly x

Fantastic services and quality of food. We will return soon!

Stopped off with the wife for dinner and what a lovely place, welcoming and cozy. I had the sea food linguine followed by meringue blob and the wife had vegan shepherds pie followed by vegan ice cream. All the food was delicious. Service and atmosphere first rate.

Really beautiful pub restaurant loads of vintage features with beautiful food and lovely staff also has a small play area out the back for children

Pre Christmas lunch with friends. Lovely pub, great atmosphere, beautifully decorated for Christmas! Welcomed by Courtney and her team. Lovely lunch, great service and nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend.

First time visiting. Great food, lovely staff. Will definitely visit again

Book for Sunday lunch. Had a drink at the bar first. Taken to table and ordered a stater first then had roast beef with all the trimmings very nice .and a pudding after very nice. Service was great can wait go again Richard

Great food at reasonable price 👌

I had a fantastic meal with family, a last-minute booking for 15 people; well looked after, and the food was great. Staff couldn't be more helpfull.

Had lunch today with my Hubby and Mum. It was brilliant. The food was superb and so reasonably priced. The atmosphere was good. The staff were so helpful and efficient. Will definitely be back Thank you everyone

Lovely pub, well presented with a homely feel and friendly staff and service. Have to say the food could have been better, decent portions, I had the brisket chilli which was nice but overspiced and my fianceé had the chicken burger but the chicken was stringy and a bit tough. Overall 7/10

Superb pub for family meals, we visited twice during our holiday in the area and are so glad we did as the food was good value. Lovely old fashioned looking pub with lots of room inside, really busy both times we went which is an indication of how popular it is so ensure you book. Sunday lunch was nothing short of terrific and the special Fish and Chips night was excellent value. The staff were all polite, efficient and very friendly so what more could one ask for. Large car park at the back and a kids play area so great for families.

I would visit this establishment again , welcoming staff , drinks reasonably priced, the only downside for me was the burgers are that thick they don’t get fully cooked in the middle /raw , I didn’t complain so ,,,, but the desserts are delicious

Birthday lunch for family could not fault it will definitely be back.

we went on Sunday 27/10/24 absolutely lovely, I had the honey roast ham and my husband had the fish and chips, was all beautifully cooked. lovely atmosphere lovely staff definitely recommend and will be returning

Came in for an impromptu visit with my young kids and husband, well the host was very erm rude about the fact we hadn’t booked (we were aware we may not get a table but tried anyway) there was no need to be so rude. Secondly we ordered, food came relatively quick which was great but the garlic bread I could have broken my teeth on, rock solid. Chips were burnt. Then when I asked the waitress for the children’s menu ( said when you have a spare minute can you pass us the menu, quite nicely not rushing her at all) so I could order a dessert for my son, she rolled her eyes and told me to wait as she was busy! 👀

Very warn welcome and amazing food and drink lovely atmosphere

Sometimes feel as though if your face doesn't fit, kind if place

Can recommend the Steak and Ale pie..and the MASSive profiterol...

Another lovely evening of drinks and nibbles made even more special by one of Eric’s famous talks and slide show giving a glimpse into how things used to be. Tonight was particularly entertaining as it featured the local history of The Bleeding Wolf itself and associated colourful happenings surrounding the pub.

Great country pub, excellent choice of beers to choose from.

Food was very mid, had the pie which was a huge let down. Veg looked dry but the chips were pucca.

Had mushroom stroganoff with rice which was served on a very shallow dish,I felt was not value for money @ £14.50,as I was still hungry after,would make a good starter !

Great quality food and brilliant staff no more to say. Will be returning to try other dishes on the menu.

Lovely food and great service from all the staff. Very dog friendly in all areas

Always enjoy a visit to Bledding Wolf. Great food, fantastic beers and lovely local people.

Very tasty Thai red chicken curry, hit the spot and super spicy, well worth a visit.. lovely old building from 1934 and the toilet informed me they are still the original tiles

There was nothing to fault. Excellent service, delicious food and wonderful surroundings. Will definitely visit again 😃

Beautiful venue, friendly and accommodating staff. 4 different meals ordered and we all agreed it was lovely. The prices seemed a little steep and they don’t serve Guinness so half a star knocked off! We had friends visiting from overseas, so we wanted to choose an old English pub. They loved it. I asked in the reservation if we could sit by a fire and this was accommodated perfectly, with staff offering us two choices of tables by fires.

There was nothing to fault. Excellent service, delicious food and wonderful surroundings.
