The Fisherman's Table in Stockport

I am afraid both our meals were disappointing. A sea bass with chorizo crumb was over cooked. The chorizo emulsion little bite or indeed flavour. The fish pie was not good. The sauce wasn’t bechamel but cream with hunt the fish. The chive mash somehow became mustard mash . Spiced poached pears for dessert was the oddest we have ever eaten. Normally poached spiced pears has cinnamon and cloves etc but this tasted like allspice had been used instead Just not nice sorry to say. Reading other reviews maybe an off night but our take away was that this was a chef who didn’t understand flavours.

Had an excellent lunch with friends and we all enjoyed it

Fabulous food, I wanted to try everything on the menu! Lovely, friendly service, will definitely be back

Literally 5 * food and fantastic value. We were there with a chef and he could not fault it either. Amazing 🤩 The service lets it down a little sadly, just little things. Need some resources upstairs incase they forget something else it takes ages. We did have a small problem also and it was not dealt with as expected. But yes 👍🏻 💯 go there totally wowza

A first class fish restaurant. Good wine and beer too!

Superlative gluten free, breaded, fish and chips! Mic drop.

This was an almost perfect evening out for our wedding anniversary, and our first visit here. The food and service were great. The one small thing is that our table was right by the bar, and the waiter spent most of the time on our side of it, either leaning on the middle of it, (so less than a metre from us) or walking up and down. We didn't feel we could have a conversation in private, and were aware of his almost constant presence. I'm sure this was unintentional and he was unaware of the effect. Next time we would ask for a table either upstairs, or on the other side from the bar.

Ended up here because the local boozer didn't do food, and how lucky were we! On the high street in the pretty town of Marple, this fish-focused restaurant serves quality food. The mussels were fresh and amazing as was the fish pie. The friendly waitress made sure everything was spot on. Just wish we lived nearer. Anyway, when in the vicinity this is a must

We visited yesterday afternoon ..can honestly say it was amazing food the best we have found around here for a long time ..it was served really hot and absolutely delicious definitely recommend to anyone and such a lot to choose from ...the burger was delicious and the onion rings the best I have ever had ...Great place lovely staff amazing chef xxxx

We visited recently and had the tapas menu. Excellent value for money, we got 3 dishes each and as part of the deal you get a drink included with this option. Variety of options, everything was fresh and tasted different to eachother. Generous portions and staff are very friendly. Look forward to returning to try more of the menu in future!

We have dined here many times and have absolutely loved it. Visited for the first time with my friend early evening. 4 items on the menu unavailable. Less choice of fish dishes was disappointing. However what we chose and ate was delicious as always. Will not stop us returning in the future.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Lovely decor. Very clean.

Had the set menu. All of the dishes were really tasty, and the main course was the best fish pie ever! Great, friendly service too. Highly recommended.

Best fish pie ever! Great, friendly service too.

An incredible meal to celebrate our engagement. The staff went above and beyond, with flowers, a card, and bubbly waiting on the table when we arrived. Having dined at Fisherman's Table previously, we knew we were in for some excellent food and drink, but did not expect to be blown away by these extra touches. We cannot thank Fisherman's Table enough for their excellent service, the food, as always, was incredible and we left with memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for making an incredible day even more special and we can't wait to return for more meals and celebrations in the future - would give 6 stars if we could.

We have used Marple Fish on regular basis for a couple of years now but had never tried the Fisherman's Table. The service staff were second to none, extremely tentative, and when asked about a few items of the menu options, they gave knowledgeable and real responses. The food was extremely nice all 5 dishes that we had got the thumbs up from our party. The atmosphere was nice, not cramped with a light decor that was fitting for the restaurant. Will be booking again, that is for sure.

Fabulous find… special dinner for partner’s big birthday. Excellent food and decent wine. Casual but smart venue. We splashed out money wise but still very good vfm. Highly recommend- we ll be back for sure

This really is exactly what a neighbourhood restaurant is all about – good food, with a changing menu, in nice surroundings and very pleasant staff. It’s not our neighbourhood though and we have a drive from the other side of the borough, so it’s a few months since we were last here. As suggested by the name, this is firmly a seafood restaurant, So, it was scallops to start for one of us. King scallops from Shetland, perfectly cooked and seasoned with chilli and garlic and accompanied by steamed leeks. That was followed by pan fried hake. That always seems to be the most Spanish of fish and here it’s served with Romesco sauce, untraditionally having a twang from capers. Sugar snap peas contribute to the five a day. I was in two minds over a starter. The mackerel with beetroot salad felt very North European but I opted a small tuna steak, cooked to medium rare (which is how I most enjoy it). That came with a fennel “slaw” and a spoonful or two of an indeterminate sauce. Fish pie as a main course. Lightly smoked white fish, king prawns and peas, in a creamy sauce, topped with potato. What’s not to like? Some greens beans and tenderstem broccoli provided colour and freshness. We shared a portion of fries. We didn’t fancy dessert but coffee was fine. Nice evening.

Absolutely gorgeous not one fault with it, highly recommend coming here. And the staff are so nice and friendly. I will definately be back for more oysters etc 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Nice restaurant,freindly service,full lobster was lovely,nicely presented with portion of fries,

What a fantastic find. We are visiting Marple on our boat and after a very long day we were ready for some food. We happened on this restaurant and checked if we could take our dog in. Yes we could. The food was excellent and the staff were so attentive. We will be going back whilst in the area.

Lovely, intimate setting. Easy parking. The service was warm, hospitable and accommodating from the welcome. Good options of fish with some meat and vegetarian options if desired.

Food was beautiful lovely staff and nice cosy environment.. will definately be coming back thank you 😁

Had heard about this restaurant and was not disappointed when we visited, food was excellent, great service and nice setting .

Great place, tasty food, nice atmosphere, pretty environment. It is a special place.

We often dine in Manchester with two “foodie friend’s ” - however they fancied a change & this place was highly recommended by another freind. We had the 3 tapas for £20 lunch plus the “special” crab & crayfish ravioli. With 3 x 4 tapas to share there was pleanty to go around. We loved each plate & enjoyed sharing & chatting about the food. There was a group having the al a carte nearby & we started wishing we had done that too ! All in all fab food & wine & lovely staff.

We really enjoyed our visit last week to this restaurant. We have visited a few times previously but not for a while. We shared a starter, mussels, which were delicious followed by John Dory which we both had which were equally delicious. The tables for two are really small in the restaurant and close together, which has put us off in the past however we were lucky enough to choose a quiet evening so occupied a table for 4 which was a much better size. Nice choice of wines by the glass also. Definitely would visit again.

Food was really nice here , so tasty and filling . Great service ( candle on the table not lit) visited with my partner .... really clean inside also

Wonderful lunchtime tapas offer

We came here with friends last Monday for a birthday meal, the food is amazing, all of us were really impressed with everything we ate. There is lots of choice and everything was cooked perfect. The staff are lovely and very helpful with information regarding the dishes listed, great atmosphere and will definitely be back again.

After it been recommend we thought we would give the fisherman’s table a try - to start I had the asparagus risotto and it was so spicy! There was no mention of how spicy it is but it was tasteless just burned my mouth! My husband enjoyed his muscles. Next was the mains and we asked for extra veg (£5) and were presented with the smallest carrots we had EVER SEEN! My husband had a pudding where I opted for a lemonchello - the bill came to £101! We definitely couldn’t see that price of what was on our plates. I don’t think we will be going again - which is a shame

Had lunchtime menu for two of us and we chose the 3 Tapas and glass of wine per person and all for a very reasonable price. The menu was excellent and the food was freshly cooked and delicious.Service was really good and the friendly chef gave us a wave on the way out.I recommend the Fisherman's Table to anyone looking for a memorable lunch out in Marple centre on on a Thurs, Fri, Sat or Sun. And the full menu looks impressive.

My husband had some lovely oysters but didn’t enjoy his fish pie it was a little runny and not a lot of taste apparently, I had the the monk fish panko but the sauce was cold and possibly a lot of the cabbage juice got in there - it needed a herb component in my view something to lift the taste a little. My main was lovely the John Dory was well cooked and tasty and the sides were also delicious. We ordered a side of carrots and actually were worth the money! Tasted naturally smoked somehow - lovely flavour

Very good Wednesday eavning so quiet great venue before the cinema

I got John Dory'd, it was good. My accomplice was treated to the steak of the tuna, it oozed tuna juice. Delicious. I can highly recommend the vinho nino verde. To finish me off, the chef provided breaded butter pudding with curded cream. It filled'eth. I will be returning for more. Charmita!

Popped in today for a quick lunch . We ate from the Tapas menu and it was fantastic , fabulous variety of food available with substantial portions. Highly recommend , we will be back

Great food but service would have been quicker by grandad tortoise! Nearly 2 hour wait for our mains totally not acceptable.

Came across this restaurant whilst visiting family in the area. Oh my goodness what a gem! My auntie fancied a fish and chip supper so we asked for a traditional cod and chips and it really did not disappoint. The fish batter was light and crispy, the fish itself was white and flaky. The chips were hot and cooked to perfection too. We finished our meal with lovely desserts. The service was efficient and server extremely pleasant. Honestly cannot recommend enough if you are in the area.

Even though it’s only on the other side of the borough, we may not have come across the restaurant without a casual mention on a travel forum. I’d been chatting with this guy about the restaurants in the Spanish resort and, as we were both from Greater Manchester, we started swapping the names of places we like at home. And what a “find” Fisherman’s Table has proved to be. Nice building (over 270 years old, the website says), lovely server and a nice short menu which changes every couple of months. It’s one of those places which is exactly how your neighbourhood restaurant should be – and it was worth the schlep battling through Stockport’s rush hour traffic on a very wet Wednesday evening. The small Queenie scallops were one starter, in the French style as Coquilles St Jacques. Served on the half shell, in a creamy sauce and topped with mashed potato flavoured with a little cheese. Across the table, three big chunks of monkfish had been given a really crisp panko breadcrumb coating before being fried. They sat in a delicious shellfish bisque enhanced with a few shreds of pickled red cabbage. It all works really well. A tuna steak came medium rare – I’m not a fan of overcooked tuna nor am I a fan of the fashionable “just seared” version. This was pretty much perfect for me. It’s how Spanish chefs cook it in the good seafood restaurants in the resort I mentioned earlier. And a Spanish theme is on the plate, in the form of a thick chorizo, tomato and chickpea “stew” – they could “big this up” and serve it as one of their non-seafood starters or mains. It’s too good to be just an accompaniment. It’s utterly delicious. Across the table, “catch of the day” was a whole sea bream which had been grilled, I think and was served with a caper butter sauce. Certainly another dish that was an absolutely bang-on bit of fish cooking. It came with a few green beans and asparagus spears. Most dishes come with a carb but these were the two that didn’t, so we ordered some chips to scoff alongside. As often the case, desserts were OK but were not as good as the savoury courses. Housemade bread and butter pudding is a favourite of my companion in life and was declared “decent”. It comes with ice cream or custard. That’ll be custard then - obviously. The other pud was a small, very crisp tart, filled with a lemon cream and, also on the plate, blueberry compote and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We finished with good espresso.

Best local meal we have had in a while. Lovely atmosphere, attentive & friendly waitress and beautiful food. My mussels were lush but my husband’s John Dory was even better. First visit to The Fisherman’s Table but definitely returning soon for another meal.

Fantastic food, fantastic service, lovely decor and great choices of wine. Have no complaints and even bought family a voucher for Christmas. Will definitely be returning!

I was really looking forward to a lunch today after checking the website said it was open after phoning yesterday to book thrlere was no reply but everything said it was open .when we arrived after paying for the car park it was closed. Please update your website then we wouldn't have wasted a trip.

Enjoyed a re theatre main course and drinks....food was very good....fish pie and fresh fish was very good and service was prompt.

Wow. Last night was incredible. I came with 4 plus a baby. It’s always very good, but this visit was insane, probably the best seafood I’ve had for a long time. Thankyou so much. So relaxed. No stress . And the best Jon dory ever 👌

We had high expectations after hearing so many wonderful things about the restaurant and the oysters to start did not disappoint. They were by far the highlight of the meal! Scallop starter didn’t ‘wow’ and the chicken and ham terrine was dry and tasted like one big lump of turkey. The bread that accompanied was delicious. On to the mains: salmon was delicious but the brussel sprouts were burnt. The mussels were really nice too and the sauce very tasty. Cooked to perfection with a taste to match was the John Dory however, the sauce/bisque was a massive let down as it had no taste and the prawns were overcooked and rubbery. Puddings were average. What really was disappointing was that as we were eating and enjoying ourselves, the service staff were making up place settings for the following day on the table across from us. I understand that this prep needs doing and if the staff have nothing to do then they should be kept busy but not on the restaurant floor during service.

This is 2nd time we’ve been and it was superb.Well worth the drive.Food,service both top class

Pleasant evening in a good atmosphere with great food and service. We'll be back, Greg

Must admit I was expecting better the fish gousions were over done and the piella was dry for the money what a shame

Poor value for money. Basic food. Service was abysmal. Would not go back

This is a small restaurant, it may not look like a gourmet restaurant but they are freaky focused on the food. We had three different meals and all of us was very satisfied. If I return to Marple I'll sure be back.

Love it here. Some of the best seafood around. I usually have the lobster when it’s on the menu. It’s the best I’ve ever had. There’s plenty more to choose from though. Food is locally sourced and they also have a selection of meat and poultry from their own farm.

Excellent meal. We had a different fish main meal and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Can recommend. Service was friendly and prompt and we enjoyed the evening

Went with friend to celebrate a birthday. Service and food excellent would recommend. Fabulous menu

Been here this evening and cannot rate this place high enough. Every course was perfectly cooked and presented and the service was second to none. I can't wait to go back. I started with grilled oysters then onto cod cheeks with hollandaise, next I had monkfish then finished off with mango and apricot Panna cotta. Totally scrumptious!

Great service and fantastic food

Went here a couple of months ago after ‘McrFinest’ did a review on it. Been looking for a decent fish restaurant for a while, it didn’t disappoint! My partner and I had the Oysters to share, I then had the risotto for my starter, he had fish cakes, we both had the same main, John Dory! And a bottle of red to accompany! A lovely restaurant, lovely food and can’t wait to go back!

We had a lovely meal tonight here. Staff were good, and we had a wine new to me (Furmint, Kados from Hungary). As the name suggests, predominantly fish, but with one or two meat dishes. No vegetarian options. Interesting aspects to some of the dishes, e.g., horseradish cream and pickled raisins. Would definitely go again.

If you like eating good fish, go!

Had a lovely lunch here. Food delicious.

Cozy seafood restaurant with extremely friendly and helpful hostess

Was looking forward to going to this restaurant, but fell short really! Lack of interest from staff, shown table & left, no one asked if we would like a drink, while we looked at menu, I had to catch there attention & ask, 3 staff a bar chatting. Wasn't informed what the catch of the day was. Extra glasses left on table, as we were not having wine, food ok! but not what I thought the standard would be, not value money, & wasn't asked if we would like second drink had to get the waitress attention again.

My friend and I visited here one Friday lunchtime, it was a belated birthday treat for my friend. We had the tapas style lunch menu and enjoyed everything! It was absolutely delicious and definitely value for money! The lady the served us was very nice and attentive! We would definitely recommend and will definitely be back :-)

Brilliant top quality varied fish menu, superb ly cooked with great service. Would go back repeatedly.

Tried the lunchtime tapas selection. Good size dishes very tasty friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed.

This seafood restaurant is mind-blowingly good. We tried eight of the dishes on the menu, and every one was delicious and cooked to perfection. The chef really knows what he's doing here. If you like seafood, you won't be disappointed. The scallops and panko prawns deserve special mention, as does the John Dory main course, which was absolutely top notch. Decent wine list too - lots of choice and not too pricey. Excellent all round!

I'm so glad we found this place, we love seafood, but it's really hard to find places that do really good seafood! Tried it for the first time today and was really impressed. The food was amazing, cooked to perfection. The selection of different types...

Lovely food had during a quiet chilled lunch.

Absolutely brilliant meal in every way. Loads of beautiful food and would have loved dessert but was stuffed. All washed down with a nice bottle of wine

Absolutely amazing !! Best fish dishes we’ve had a long time - we’ll worth money Massive congratulations to the Chef & the team

Very nice place 👌 will be back again

Lovely seafood restaurant. I had the fish pie and it was packed with flavour. Every mouthful was an absolute joy. Opposite in the pic was a vegan option of Ratatouille which I believe was also very nice.

This place was excellent, lovely place, attentive staff and excellent food. Husband is coeliac and needs gluten free and the fish and chips did not disappoint. Piping hot and well presented, would recommend to anyone.

Wow what an amazing place. I heard about this place on Manchester Finest on FB. Fantastic place and if you love seafood then this is the place to go. Service was amazing and the staff were helpful and friendly. The food is the star of the show. I selfish brisk is punching loads of flavours. The fish pie was the perfect size for me. Take a look at the pictures. I will definitely be back here again

Gorgeous food, great service. Perfect place to eat

I had been looking for a fish restaurant for ages and stumbled across this place purely by accident after finding the fish mongers in the high street. Booked for when my wife's family came over from Latvia. Everyone Loved everything that was brought out. We brought our two kids under 8 and regardless of them having a broad palette anyway, they loved their food. The oysters were beautiful, the tuna was amazing, the muscles were a good portion and delicious. I can't remember what other mains were had as I'm writing this review a few months later, but everything was perfectly cooked and of a decent size. We will be going again as a treat whenever we can and whenever we have visitors. Beautiful.

We were really looking forward to dining here after seeing an online video and a slection of their dishes. Sadly, the food did not live up to expectation - the garlic in the garlic prown sharing dish was burnt, which left a very bitter taste...

I was gifted a voucher for Xmas so thought we’d go and spend it. Upon arrival shown swiftly to table - told the “catch of the day” and left with menus. Food and drink order taken and the waiting began…… starters arrived I had scallops...

Four of us ate there on Monday evening. The meal was fabulous and the service was smooth considering there was only the chef and one waitress. Hats off to them.

Great food. Especially mussels in white wine. Staff very helpful. Will be back.

Interesting food, but several options not available when we booked for 7.30pm on a Friday. Service was a bit hit and miss but serving staff were sweet and all very friendly.

Lovely food in a lovely restaurant

Lovely experience and great food!

Absolutley stunning. Large starters nice wine. Amazing mains that are cooked to perfection. Had the John Dory and the Tuna steak. Absolutely unreal. Want to adopt the chef

We went here for a little date night treat & it was lovely! We have been a few times before & it is always great even if it’s fully packed, or more quiet. Both the ladies serving were polite, attentive & not too intrusive, &...

Super menu, great service by friendly knowledgeable staff. The food was excellent..... we will visit again soon.

Always tasteful food - never been let down, accept that the halibut is always sold out before we get there

Arrived at 7.30 we had drinks and starters by 7.50 but then a very long wait for the mains which arrived just before 9 and frankly of the 4 dishes 3 where pretty poor monk fish curry not in the least bit spicy burger extremely salty and my wife and friends found the restaurant cold

Hair in the fries, bland food, swimming in oil. Overpriced food that lacks flavour. When mentioned to the waitress she simply didnt respond and had nothing to say. Restaurant was also very cold so keep your coat handy. At these sorts of prices you can...

We had very nice meal the food was good but after waiting 25 mins for dessert menu we paid the bill and left and will not be returning

Lovely local fish restaurant. We hadn’t been for a while so thought we would go and support them. Restaurant was quite busy for an teatime booking. The food as always was cooked to perfection and excellent. Plenty of staff waiting on who were polite. The...

Very nice food and a lovely restaurant. All the staff were great and very accommodating. Our only downsides were we sat downstairs and it was abit cold from the front door. Maybe a porch would stop this. Also it is on the expensive side for where it is. Nice for a special occasion but not for a normal weekend treat

I don’t think I’ve ever written a bad review, however due to the lack of response from the restaurant to two messages and attempting to speak to the manager on two occasions during the last week I feel I have no choice. We visited on...

Gorgeous little restaurant on Marple. Delicious food

Gorgeous girlie lunch with fab food, venue and staff 😍

Fantastic local restaurant, staff are helpful. They explained the menu and the specials clearly, and answered all our questions. Great selection of fresh ingredients. Had the catch of the day, Brill, was perfectly cooked. Portion sizes were great. Extensive wine selection

Really nice meal, must go back soon

I can't recommend the lunchtime tapas menu enough, great food and great value

Had roasted place, very nice, but lemon potatoes and Hampshire overcooked and a little burnt

Friday evening meal and first time visit. Great menu. Halibut with champagne and caviar sauce was perfection 👍

We’d heard good things about the restaurant and we weren’t disappointed. The place looks good, the staff are very friendly & efficient and the food is just as good as it gets. Fantastic place and we will be back.
