The Fisherman's Table in Stockport

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.

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.

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 👌

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!

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!

Great service and fantastic food

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

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.

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.

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.

Lovely food in a lovely restaurant

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 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

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...

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

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...

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

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.

Very disappointing after many previous good experiences. The portion size of the tapas was meagre and although tasty did not provide a satisfying lunchtime meal. Many items were unavailable, with no alternatives offered, so that choice was limited. We paid almost £40 for essentially snacks...

really really good seafood options. very fresh prawns and lobster. great gluten free options for the Mrs, and staff very friendly. connot recommend more! six star

Great place. Food spot on. Will def be returning .

Lovely food, lots of Gf options - particularly enjoyed prawn sharing platter. Only didnt give it 5, as service was a little slow to take orders.

We went for the first time for our date night and wow we loved it !!! We had oysters they were amazing then calamari for me and my fella had scallops For main I had the lamb burger which was pulled lamb and it was lush my partner had lemon sole and it was amazing Jay then had profiteroles and I had a cheeky expresso martini Everything about the place the staff the food just made for a great evening . Charlie is the best hostess so friendly and the best attention to detail .we will be back

Tonight we visited the Fishermans Table for the first time and wasnt disappointed. Absolutely lovely food with fantastic flavours. We both had the fish of the day. Will definitely be returning.

We had Lobster and Hake for the main meal. Both amazing!!We are so luck to have this restaurant. Would recommend to anybody. It is superb.

Ok, just ok, but nothing to write home about.

Amazing food and chef, all staff lovely especially Izzy. Will be back to try more soon.

Excellent lunch. My dislike of cream and the issues with United Utilities were handled very well . I can recommend the usseks and fish pie.

Had a great evening. Highly recommend, food was really nice, good waitress service of Charley. Will definitely be going back there.

Nice little restaurant. Tasty dishes and resonably priced.

Homey food, not as good as some of the other fish restaurants in the borough

Long wait between courses of 1hr. 3 out of 4 meals very poor. No disable toilet facilities which I thought was illegal! Sorry was really looking forward to going.

We went in to try the new tapas menu and we were highly impressed! The food was lovely and the staff are super friendly we will be back soon

Bit of an unusual location for a fish restaurant but superb food and a direct link to the local supplier means the quality is top notch.

1st time visiting this restaurant and couldn’t be happier. When I booked I had requested some extra options for 1 person in my party as they were not too keen on fish and this request was handled with no issues at all. Everyone agreed the...

VERY slow non professional service. When food did eventually arrive, two fish pies could not have been more different. One needed a spoon it was so runny , whilst other one was thick. One also had grilled brown top and other one was very anaemic....

Food good, service good, good location, easy to get to. A gem

The hidden gem of Marple! Great service, relaxed atmosphere and good food. What more can you ask for... Totally recommend!

Wonderful meal at the fisherman's table for my mum's 60th last night. The staff were so lovely and accommodating to our table of 10. We pre ordered the mains and everything was exactly as we wanted. The £5 corkage on a Monday is an excellent idea too. Food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere wonderful. Thoroughly recommend!

Nice food but very very over priced, small portions. I eat in London alot with prices similar. Tips… understand your customers and why they spend with you. Underside your Competition. You are not even half full on a Saturday night! That’s telling you something. Believe...

We were hopeful of a nice meal before a visit to Marple cinema and were completely disappointed. The two teenager 'waiters' had little idea of how to do the job. The lad spent most of his time learning on the bar. They received no instruction...

Delicious skate wing, fantastic service. Will go again.

By chance, my pescatarian wife and I ended up wanting dinner in Marple. The Fisherman's Table had good reviews but it was even better than we expected. The 2-3 course set menu (Monday-Thursday) was excellent value. A moules mariniere starter comprised tasty fresh mussels is...

We took my Mum here for Mothers Day treat. A really good experience across the board including service, all of our servers were lovely and were attentive throughout. Food, we had Crab spaghetti and two Moules Marinere to start, and Hake, Skate and monkfish skewers...

Fantastic food and service. Love visiting this local restaurant for top quality food and wine. Mixed starters were delicious, halibut cooked perfectly and good wine.

Pre-cinema meal. Food was great, as usual.

Unfortunately our experience tonight wasn’t the best that we have had here previously. I’ve been numerous times & have always thoroughly enjoyed the food, wine & service. Tonight the food was ‘nice’. We had to shout for service each time we wanted a drink or...

1. Table not ready until 20 minutes after booking time 2. Starters arrived 90 minutes after we sat 3. Starters were Luke warm at best 4. Mains arrived an hour after that 5. My fish hadn’t had scales removed 6. Manager sent staff to speak...

Amazing place food was excellent great friendly atmosphere

Great food and wonderful service. Lovely to see the entire wine list by the glass with very knowledgeable service about the full list. Thank you. We’ll be back :)
