The Mere Inn in Cheshire East

Home of one of the most stunning beer gardens you'll ever enjoy a drink in, The Mere Inn features a great landlord, great staff, and a great craic any time of day or night. The vibe is fun and friendly, and it's one of the only places in Alsager where you'll get to enjoy some live music from local artists.

Cosy pub that has the most traditional feel to all the pubs in Alsager.

Always a good night, and attentive staff

Only had drinks here but the pub is very clean and modern with a friendly atmosphere.

This place no longer does food which is why we stopped here after our long trip, but the staff are loverly and good drinks. So all the stars to them but updating so others know they're not doing food. Very nice decor and comfortable outdoor area.

First class public house in Alsager. Unfortunately still no food served but they allow you to bring in your own. Yesterday free sausage rolls on the bar with an acoustic singer who was very good. Excellent service and beer.

Best pub in Alsager, Aron & the team do a terrific job. Slumbering Monk goes down a treat 🍻

Good atmosphere. Lovely pint. Staff are welcoming!!

Staff are brilliant!!!! Service is great!!!! Bring back the food 🙏

😃Cosy little pub in Alsager’s high street, one of a dying breed I’m afraid. Great range of real ales on draught plus splendid pint of Guinness

Great pub, with a great atmosphere. Nice selection too. No complaints at all

What a fantastic pub,. Friendly atmosphere and staff, coupled with great beers at low prices. An absolute gem.

Could do with a few more beers adding to the selection.

Been here man times as I drink both the Pale ale and the Slumbering Monk. Really busy evening so sat out at the back with the heaters. Service always good, known to my other half. This is one of the two best pubs in Alsager IMHO, the Lodge being the other.

Great pub,love the live bands,great 👏 drinks list,love the outside area so cosy.

Staff were great and lovely and friendly. Good choice. Quick service. Busy but a couple of tables free on Saturday night

Great Christmas drink in here for the first time, certainly won't be the last. Good selection of beers and the outside area is very well thought it and accommodating

A Joules pub with good ales. Friendly staff, dog friendly.

Popped in to start the night, great atmosphere, nice staff and the outdoor area was amazing. Calm atmosphere and lovely place to go. What a hidden gem x

Lovely heated outdoor tables, good selection of beers, very friendly staff

A fabulous pub in the heart of the town. Great beers and drinks selection, friendly attentive staff, an absolute must if you are out and about in Alsager.

Friendly service and great range of drinks. Good outdoor space.

Great pub, love the beer garden, great use of space. The beer has always been spot on in The Mere Inn. The fact that they have stopped serving food here has not detracted from it's appeal.

Great atmosphere friendly bar staff

First visit and will definitely be back, friendly staff, lovely ambiance and super outdoor area at the back (more than a beer garden, it’s a real gem)

Excellent pub, plenty of room and the entertainment on Bank Holiday Monday was great.

Nice pub vibe. Sometimes have live music. Good variety of drinks at good prices. Dog friendly. Has a really nice beer garden outside, sheltered with heaters

Beer not good no different beers ie friut or cider

Popped in for a quick visit with a college from Germany. Nice bar good Joules beers with friendly staff. Note they no longer serve food.

Lovely traditional pub with good selection of drinks on offer. Always enjoy this pub my only criticism is it's become very expensive compared to local competition.

Had a few pre-Christmas drinks with friends. Very friendly and cosy pub

Lovely pub for a girlie get together

Smashing cosy pub. Good selection of real ales at sensible prices. Roaring log fire on and lovely host. Loved it!!

Nice friendly atmosphere, some cozy seats and good selection of drinks

What a lovely pub this is. We've lived in alsager nearly 2 years and only visited recently.

Quaint pub with character. Old fireplaces and stone interior. Joules ale and pilsner.

Updated pub with a wide range of drinks with some great tap ales. Tries a little too hard on occasion but staff generally friendly and our 'off' beer was swapped without hesitation.

Great beer, lovely outside space too, some undercover, some out in the sunshine.

One of our favourite pubs in the area, good indoor and outdoor seating. Popular with locals so always busy.

Lovely pub! Great selection of drinks😊

This pub has such a nice atmosphere - bright and friendly with cosy, comfortable seating without being claustrophobic or "smoky". It's dog friendly, the alwa a

Love the Decor in this place and a very large beer garden.

Brilliant atmosphere. Live music. Great outside beer garden. I'll definitely be back. Good beer too. Pure Blonde 👌👌

Really nice friendly atmosphere and good selection of beers and a cracking pint of staropramen 🍺🍺👍👍

Great ale and friendly staff, how a pub should be

Great place friendly staff fantastic live music on Friday night

A typical joules put in decoration and choice of real ales and beers. A nice clean friendly pub at normal pub prices of today. A spacious pub with plenty of rooms and seating areas.

Nice atmosphere good selection of real ales and gins . Wide range of people in there from families. Couples all ages . Busy on Saturday abit slow on clearing glasses but a nice pub .

Lovely pub, plenty of staff so no long queues even with a small bar, space outside and in with live music, great night

A great lively pub , was up from London for the weekend and had the best night here, great customers great music and very nice and helpful bar staff, The manager is a lovely fella as well.

Went for my Christmas do, can't remember much but I do remember having a nice evening here. Would come again.

Nice selection of ales and gins. Good atmosphere. Food is great and decent value.

Lovely pub. Friendly staff. Great selection of drinks for all tastes.

Just went in for a quit drink when visiting the brother in law

Popular little pub.with nice selection of beers.

Great place, pours a brilliant pint. Got a covered beer garden. Really good atmosphere and good for live music too. Not scummy, don't have to look over your shoulder like in some wild West pubs.

Great beer and really nice staff. Pleasent place to spend an evening

Great pub with beer garden ...ale is kept well A bit expensive is the only reason for not 5 stars

Good selection of food and drinks, great staff too. Well organized and efficient service.b

Lovely pub especially the outside seating. Drinks are a tad overpriced but nice staff

The Mere has been our local pub for several years now and honestly I have no complaints whatsoever. They have a good selection of quality draught beers and the food is fantastic. The staff are friendly, the service good and the ownership has handled the pandemic exceptionally well keeping the pub comfortable and safe throughout. Overall a great atmosphere and good quality British pub, I hope to return for many a pint to come.

Joules Brewery- run pub/restaurant.Didn't eat but draft beers(reason for visit!) were well kept and excellent.

The Mere inn is a pub. Remember them? Lot’s of places are trying to reinvent the wheel after lockdown (or charge a fortune). This is a friendly place with decent human staff, haven’t had food there recently just been in for drinks.

Excellent outdoor setup, very comfortable, well heated, service friendly and efficient, highly recommend paying the Mere a visit

Great beer 🍺 friendly staff👍great service👌

Excellent pub large selection of beers

Joules on draught. nice pub. Seating out back

Great service. Excellent social distancing procedures.

Great food and great staff, also very dog friendly

A really nice pub with a fantastic selection of food cooked to perfection. A nice little beer garden as well, so this place has it all.

Had the pleasure of visiting during august. The food was excellent and the service was spot on. Been numerous times before but it’s always a quality visit for food or just for a quick drink. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Had the pleasure of eating here 5/8/20, excellent tasty food, staff were attentive, friendly and despite it getting busy they still managed to deliver a positive experience. Well done to all the staff!!

Always great beer and very friendly service looking forward to dinner tuesday

Great pub, well organised in these times 👏

Went here recently as we were visiting the area. It is a locals pub in a small town with friendly staff and really good quality food. I would definitely recommend a visit. I sincerely hope it is still in business when the pubs and restaurants etc are allowed to reopen.

Good food, good staff, clean, good atmosphere

My hubby and I were staying in the area over night and decided to eat here. We’ve been here before to sample a few real ales, and very very good they are too. The staff are friendly and very helpful and efficient too. We definitely recommend the food, it tasted delicious and of excellent quality too. We definitely recommend here. We would also recommend pre-booking a table to avoid disappointment too!

great pub, landlord and good selection of nice Joules beers - great food offering, decor and little beer garden out back

Lovely pub with nice service, good selection of ales, lagers and IPA's. Didn't eat here but the food looked nice, pop in if you're in the area.

Crowded, with bland beer. A lovely pub conversion though.

Having lived in Alsager for 20 years plus and never frequented The Mere Inn., my sister wanted to go there for a meal. What a fantastic pub! The food was excellent service was very good. The area was clean. My food was just amazing cooked to perfection in fact all of my family couldn’t say enough about the place, value you for money will defiantly return.

The Mere Inn is an absolute gem. It combines excellent food with first-class service, in lovely surroundings. The Sunday roast was sublime and the service attentive and thoughtful. We felt really looked after and the whole visit felt like a treat. The management of the pub is really impressive: the menu is the right mix of traditional and innovative, the kitchen clearly well run, and the staff well trained. Booking advisable - this little gem is going places!

We have been to The Mere on several occasions with family and friends and we will certainly be going back. The food is great with a wide selection and the staff are very attentive and helpful without being pushy and gushing. Well done.

The outside of this little gem is misleading as once you go in it is deceptively large and has the real pub charm,welcoming,good beer and the food which is why we went was superb we will definitely be back its on our map now.

Outstanding. Family lunch on a cold and wet Sunday afternoon. The service throughout the afternoon was excellent. The starters, main meal and desert was top quality and very tasty.

I visited with friends having not been for quite some time. The food was decent and it's a pleasant enough pub although there's something that doesn't quite work for me in the feel of the place.For me, Joules beer is the worst beer I've tasted and I've visited the brewery and thought it was awful there, so it's not the landlord's fault! I've tried a variery of their beers and their Green Monkey lager and a number I haven't even been able to finish. On this visit, I decided to keep it safe with Staropramen which is a lager I've always enjoyed but even that was poor - not particulalry cool and just didn't taste fresh like it normally does.Also the Wifi barely works.I might pop back at some stage if I'm driving but for beer, it's the worst pub around until the next Joules pub.

Great food, ambience and service

Over the last few weeks we have popped in on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch/early dinner. The service was very welcoming and genuine. The food very good, burgers, fish pie and roast beef. All well cooked and generous portions. I did ask for no burger sauce and sadly I appeared to get extra, there was obviously a miscommunication. I ate my meal without complaint, it would just have been slightly nicer without sauce, just personal preference. All in all, good food, service and surroundings.

Quite a find. Lovely ambiance and great selection of beers. Recommend.

Quality food, great beer, freindly staff and dogs welcome...... perfect

Awesome. Food, ales and service. Most welcoming and worth a journey to visit

We called into the Mere for our evening meal while staying at the local Travelodge,so glad we did.When we went in we got a lovely welcome from the bar staff and we ordered drinks and were shown to a table by a very polite girl who left us to look through the menu.She took our order and returned a few minutes later with my starter,probably one of the best starters I've ever had.I wasn't sure about the fish taco but it was perfectly cooked,it looked and tasted amazing very well done.My wife and I had steak burger which was very tasty and the fat chips were lovely too.My mother in law had what I presume is a local special in a cheese pie which she said was very good,we had two rounds of drinks too.Service, food and atmosphere were great

Really lovely "proper" pub! A wide range of gins and rums were on offer...pity I was driving! Real ale and good food. Crowd on a Friday were a bit noisy/shouty. The guys behind the bar were great, the girls could be more friendly! A good evening! Thanks The Mere!

Lovely experience good food and service

Recommend by my friend to come here, after a tricky find due to an Italian Festival in the town, what a gem!! Amazing food and service, couldn’t fault it one bit! Will be back definitely!! First class Sunday roast!!

Nice pub excellent service and staff

Not been before so, we had a party of 9, phone booked, on the day the table was set, but I noticed a round table that would suit better, had I known I would have booked it. The staff moved us to the round table. The service the food and the surroundings were perfect. 10/10 Right now for the bad bits, there were none. So we will be back, we all said that everything was great and a huge thank you to the staff. But I don't want you to go cos we want it all to our selves,

Very nice pub, very well presented and nice beer

Great well kept ales, and lovely food offering. Visited with my partner for a quick bite to eat and a drink one evening. Place has a nice atmosphere and the food was lovely. Good value pub food with a twist... will Return

Lovey sun trap ‘Beer Garden’ at the rear Family & dog friendly areas, great wine 🍷 & beers, delicious pub grub style food 😎🎶🥳
