The Little Man Inn in Cheshire East - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Good proper old fashioned pub with good value for money for drink and food friendly staff and atmosphere I recommend

Called in on the way home, nice traditional old style pub. Few and far between these days.

Poor selection of food, staff abrupt is saying the kitchen is closing at 830pm poor food choice and quality.

Lovely place but only open for food on sunday, the lunch was fine well presented but quite bland, the beef and chicken were fine, the carrots were very hard,

The place, super, the owners super, the food okay sunday lunch, a little disapointing, will try again but will try something diff, only open on sunday for food

Excellent service and Sunday lunch all fresh vegetables.

Had a lovely experience very friendly staff good food and atmosphere will definitely be calling again.

Friendly staff, very well-kept beer and a good Sunday lunch served. This place is deep in the Cheshire contryside and you can settle down and relax. The food was good and enjoyable, with excellent gravy.

Used to call in here many times in the past whilst out cycling. The real ale was always hit and miss, usually miss rather than hit so I’ve stayed away for at least the last 4 years. Recently myself and the wife thought we’d give it another go and were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the cask beers. Bolt maker, HPA, Butcombe and a Welsh SA beer were on, all beautifully conditioned and throughly enjoyed. The new owners obviously know what they’re doing when it comes to beer. We haven’t tried the food yet but, if the the beer is anything to go by it should be pretty good. Only downside for me is, the pub could do with a little makeover, the interior is stuck in the 1970s… but it’s clean

Introduced friends. They enjoyed it A real oldie worldie sort of place. Real ale heaven

Food was described as traditional Sunday lunch. So we were expecting freshly prepared food not frozen or tinned veg the mashed potatoes tasted like smash the chicken looked like you would buy in aldi pre packed. Very disappointing.

A delicious Sunday afternoon lunch of sliced turkey (one of 3 meats available), freshly prepared vegetables and roasties. Nice touch with the gravy boat! Prompt attentive service and choice of 3 guest beers behind a well-stocked bar. Excellent rejuvenation of a country pub by Dave and Janice!

We found this pub when in the area so called in for a drink it was full of locals and it was a very pleasant welcome and the staff were lovely. A proper pub and very clean with a wide range of drinks and snacks. We didn’t eat as already had plans but the home made roasts that were be served looked amazing so we will return to try one, thank you for a lovely welcome

Fantastic Sunday lunch at a good price. Fresh produce used and served hot. Very pleasant polite staff. Definitely recommend to try. Nice little country pub.

Happened on this pub by chance travelling from Holmston Hall to Middlewich and it does not disappoint. In the process of refurbishment by the owners and as yet cannot comment on the food as the kitchen is a work in progress . Nice open fire in the bar, good ales, comfortable atmosphere. Ab Fab 😎

Great atmosphere and excellent beer

Warm welcoming landlord and very friendly locals. I wish I could have stayed longer. A short bike ride from the canal but well worth the effort

I was told about this pub by a friend who knows what I consider to be a good pub. He wasn't wrong. This hostelry has a new owner as it turned out. They're doing it up at present, but it is fully functional for wet sales. This is a proper local community pub, with a cheerful and friendly manager behind the bar. The beer selection is excellent, with a choice of two real ales also. It has a friendly atmosphere with friendly locals, dogs included. Well worth a visit.

Well kept beer.They know how to look after their beer.Television at a good level

Just popped in for a quick beer one evening and thought it was a great pub. Good variety of beers and a friendly landlord.

A walk back in time, we used this pub a lot nearly twenty years ago. A warm greeting from the new landlord, good beer, what more could you ask for.

Much improved ales, clean bright and airy. Can be difficult to find but we'll worth it.

Affable and friendly landlord serving well presented real ales in a superb setting.

Under new management very welcoming nice drink kids and dogs welcome very helpful and friendly staff go and try it try and clean area

Lovely bright interior. Great Manager, willing to chat and make you feel welcome, Large range of beers, Lagers. Proper traditional pub. Pet and children friendly. I believe food will be available in the near future. Well worth a visit if in the area

Landlord was friendly and knew about his beers and lagers, etc. Nice big fire kept the space warm. We sat down to relax with a half as we were passing. 10 mins in, a guy on the next table stared at my friend and we got a "what are you looking at?" We are two women having high a pint. We're just there to relax rather than get into a row. We left soon after. Life is too short for the hassle from guys like that. Shame. Landlord was nice and helpful.

definitely a Locals' pub, as an 'outsider' you may feel that the atmosphere is a bit strange but it's all the better for that - it's definitely like stepping back in time. Lovely beer garden and real ale was very good (HPA on draught). There's a peculiar 'membership' thing going on, which is difficult to comprehend - almost as if it's a members club, doesn't make any sense as to all intents and purposes it presents itself as an ordinary pub. I would recommend visiting - we did as we had a boat nearby at Venetian marina - it was the only pub nearby, about half a mile.

Been visiting this pub (infrequently) for many years. The decor is 'evolved' traditional country pub. Cosy and welcoming. The locals are in fact part of the furniture. The Landlord - Harry - is a character , with a very dry sense of humour who doesn't suffer fools. On the other hand, he and the regulars are very friendly and he easily remembers what you drink even if you haven't been for months! I can understand it becoming 'members only' during covid as his regulars are the lifeblood of the pub and with their health concerns it woud be best to make it their 'bubble'. Good on him for choosing to safeguard his customers. Unfortunately it may all change as I hear Harry has passed away.

This is a proper oldschool boozer, the couple of pints of Butcombe original I had were kept exceptionally well. The landlord is quite a character and the locals at the bar were really friendly and welcoming. There is a really impressive array of taxidermy in some quite interesting poses, I got a couple of pictures. Well worth a visit if you pass by.

Local pub, always welcoming atmosphere.

We found this pleasant country pub when on a bike ride. It's on a main cycling route and is a perfect pitstop. All you'll currently get are hot and cold drinks and bar snacks which is fine for cyclists. There is plenty of outside seating with umbrellas and ample space to park bikes, set well back from the road. The toilets are clean and well-kept and are easily accessible from outside. The 'Members Only' signs are Covid precautions. Customers who aren't members can order and pay at the bar and wait for drinks or have them brought outside. Ww found this procedure perfectly reasonable and have enjoyed a warm welcome on every visit. Recommended.

Very nice place whit an extraordinary staff thank you so much

Was staying at caravan park down the road, when driving past seen a Sky Sports sign outside. Looks like a nice little country pub (from the outside) The wife and I decided we would go for a few quiet drinks, once inside we were told it was members only pub, we were told it is "members only" because they know all the members and they don't know us, and we may have brought Covid to the pub. We were so so shocked, we had both been double jabbed? And as if the "members" could not bring Covid to the pub. The attitude of the owner was disgraceful, unprofessionally and unnecessary. We left and went to a better pub down the road. Was very scruffy inside anyway. Do yourselves a favour, give this one a miss and go somewhere else.

Called 40 times between 2 people all morning to find opening times for the England match. - no answer No website. Arrived at the pub at 13.30 to a closed pub, locals told me it opens at 14.00 No opening times on the door. When it opened no guests had to check in as per government guidelines. The very rude barman then told us it was a "members only" We replied they need to put up a sign or something. A female bar person then barked up with abuse. A shame I couldn't rate it 0/5. Don't waste your time like I did... Go the tolmarche arms down the road... Much nicer place

The little man is indeed what the owner is. To be spoken too like S**t just because it said “members only”, even though a Non member who was in the pub also told us to ignore the signs. I would not be giving this bad review if they did not speak to us in such a rude manner. Completely unnecessary and unacceptable! Would not recommend but the pub called tollemache arms only 5 mins down the road is lovely and made us feel very welcome.

Treated absolutely appalling, we walked in at 2pm with masks on to watch the England Croatia match, when the old fella told us he wasn't going to serve us because it was a members only bar. His wife said we were not taking covid seriously with numbers going up. I asked if she could guarantee her so called member didn't have covid, or have had the vaccine as we have. There are signs up saying members only, but one of the members said not to take any notice because anyone can go in. Anyway we left and I'm glad we did because we were made extremely welcome at the Tollemarche arms, were they rely on trac n trace not a fake membership. I dont usually leave bad reviews for anywhere, but this place treated us disgustingly. I'm glad we didn't give them our hard earned money. I work for the nhs My husband is retired My daughter works for the police and take covid very seriously, we have all been vaccinated.

Great locals pub. Always at least a couple of real ales on in great nick.

The finest traditional pub in Britain

Good coffee at reasonable price

Great old fashioned pub lovely atmosphere

Great beer, great staff, great locals

We were staying over at Southview Equestrian Centre and it was recommended to us to walk to this pub which was ideal. We had one 12 old with us and as we walked in we had a very rude reception - no children allowed the...

A traditional pub with a good bar menu and a great friendly welcome . I would definitely go again , food was good and some good real ales .

The Little Man was a characteristic local pub in Wettenhall. We enjoyed a beer and checking out the collectables in the lounge.

Years ago you could go in any pub, arrive at the bar, order your drink and strike up a conversation with anyone whilst sipping your ale. Well I am pleased to announce that this is still possible at The Little Man. The pub constantly has...

We regularly go to the Little Man, Harry the landlord is very friendly and all the regulars greet you when you go in. An old fashioned pub, no loud music so you can hold a conversation.

wouldnt let me post unless I gave this place a star, its not even worth one star. wouldnt go again!

If real ales and simple but tasty food are your thing, you'll like it. Harry & Roz are hospitable, but don't over-fuss. It is local in its feel, but that's all good, as there are few pubs around like this these days. Cozy fires on...

As soon as we both walked in to the pub the old guy serving behind the bar seemed to take a distinct dislike to us. With a grumpy face he served us with the minimum of cheer but once he returned to his locals all...

I stopped off for a pint on my way home today, my first visit & it certainly won't be my last. Great selection of real ales, friendly service, & lovely interesting old building. A gem of a pub.

I've been using this country pub for only a few months and it is now my local. The choice of cask ales is superb and very reasonably priced. My wife and I had Sunday lunch there recently and it was just exceptional. The beef was...

The log fire was just right for a winter day. Very cosy. Only had a drink but the ales were good and plenty of choice

Where do you begin.. The Little Man is a traditional country lane Cheshire "local". It's no refurbbed "Gastro Pub" with bleached wooden benches, but it certainly is full of character (s) ! Clientle is made up of locals, and passing boaters from the local marina...
