The Oakwood in Cheshire East

Popped by for a pizza for dinner. Lad behind the counter was brilliant, even let me borrow a phone charger for a bit. Really great service. Ordered the veggie pizza, it was ok at best. A bit too greasy for my liking, but had a good quantity of olives as toppings. A bit more finesse would go a long way!

Lovely pub, stopped by last week after a recommendation from a close friend while I was in the area, couldn’t fault the place. Met Really nice young man called George. (Think he might have been the manager) definitely be back, the steak frites were unreal.

Nice place but £30 for a bottle of 11% Shiraz is scandalous

Gem of a place! Needs lots more local support tho'. Quiet both times, but has very pleasant background music. I marked the 4/5 for v quiet atmosphere, though I quite liked it! Met my husband 🚴🏻‍♂️ for a drink and we decided to stay for tea as it was 'Two for One Tuesday' and the pizzas were UTTERLY delicious and HUGE (£12.50 for TWO😯🥰). Mine had loads of goat's cheese, not just little blobs and the base was gorgeous. My husband's chicken pizza was also delicious with plenty of toppings and "perfectly cooked pizza base" Nothing is too much trouble for the Manager, who is always checking and making sure everyone has what they need. I even got a pizza box to take the rest of the pizza home 😍 I had an impromptu meal with my sister in-law last Friday night (we were on our way to Mobberley but decided to try The Oakwood). We had the tasty Chicken Schnitzel and lovely Mushroom Risotto, followed by Sticky Toffee Pudding 🥰🥰🥰 The service was so attentive and genuinely friendly. I just don't get why it's quiet. Come on Wilmslow patrons, support a great local pub so we don't loose this gem. 💎 Dog friendly!!! So many places around Wilmslow are changing their policy on allowing dogs inside, but they're welcomed with open arms here🐾🐾🐾🐾🐶🐾🐾

Fabulous food and the staff were lovely, definitely recommend the risotto, it was absolutely delicious 😍

The new management team and chef are great. Glad it seems to becoming as popular as it deserves to be. Great pint of Estrella and the chicken skewers and meatballs are a hit 👏🏻

Omg! Literally ate everyone's leftovers twice now & licked my plate when no-one was looking 🤣👌 THE BEST Sunday roast around I have found yet! Cute puppy & friendly staff ✨️ Even a space for the kids to hang out in their own playroom with a TV! Cannot fault the place!

Went for Sunday dinner. Lovely staff. The food was GREAT. My fishnchips was awesome and the sunday dinner was lovely. Best food / value for money/ atmosphere in the area. Dog friendly as well

An amazing place with a friendly atmosphere and loverly staff. We go through the week so it’s quiet. The food is always good.

Beer was flat, full of yuppies with children they can't look after...

This was better than I expected. The menu selection was limited but this may have been because it was Mother’s Day. However, considering how busy they were, the food was cooked perfectly and the service was good - we were a table of 18. The atmosphere score is because if you are dining without children (we had 6 at our table) beware as this is a child friendly pub and you may feel the noise from children is load.

Not my first, or last visit. Staff ste always welcoming. Not eaten there for a while. When I did is was ok. Decent pub food Good pint of Timothy Taylors, not always a given these days sadly

Always serve Great food, cosy decor with wood fires. The most dog friendly pub I’ve ever been to

Just enjoyed a superb Sunday Beef Roast, totally recommend. Also, the Timothy Taylors Landlords Bitter was on great form.

Beautiful pub with lovely wines and atmosphere. Note: Only BT open access wifi and very poor net network.

I had Christmas dinner with my nieces family,the food was delicious, I had the turkey and it was amazing,very few restaurants can cook it properly,but they did here,it was juicy and full of flavour,as was the trimmings,the staff were amazing and attentive,highly recommend.👍👍

Got served by Kerry this evening. Great service and great food in a lovely atmosphere. Have been a few times before, and have a table booked for December with a group of friends really looking forward to it. We had a lovely table by the window. Deffintly recommend this pub/restaurant.

Fabulous food one of the nicest Fish and Chips I have had in a long time (proper Chips as well) beautiful beer battered cod, lovely friendly staff and Lizzy the new owner, we will return 😊

Visiting family from Cornwall so taken here for lunch. Empty except for us - but wonderful food - especially the salmon dish - I can imagine it's very busy weekends etc. Staff friendly and helpful - will return on next visit

Lovely pub. Superb food. Friendly staff. Very nice experience.

Below average burgers - both chicken and beef

Unfortunately while service and staff were good. Food rather disappointing. Attractive pub though...

My partner and I visited The Oakwood at the end of May 2023, and the food, service, and atmosphere was excellent. It was neither underpriced nor overpriced, and we were really happy to pay what it cost. We returned today, 16th July 2023, to find that it was a completely different place. The menu had changed, with the best items removed, and a total of 7 main dishes, 3 of which were burgers. We were really looking forward to visiting after our astounding visit last time, but today was a real disappointment. Who decided to get rid of the mixed grill and the steak?! I'm not too sure whether this has changed hands or not, but I'm really confused as to why its changed so much (unfortunately for the worse) within two months! Bring back the old menu!

Its a pub. Not really much more to say than that.

Really nice staff, good choice of beers and wine. Nice pub

Great place for a dinner and drinks and celebrate special occasions!

Love this pub definitely one of the best ones around

Had the vegan roast which was amazing. Great service from the team also . Highly recommended

Came here for Xmas dinner and the staff were very warm and welcoming they were very accommodating and went above and beyond to make our Christmas as special as it could be. The food was great and the atmosphere was fun. Thanks for our Christmas meal!

Lovely atmosphere.Delicious 3 course set menu.Very attentive and thoughtful staff.Had a wonderful evening. Highly recommend this pub.

We had a smashing night celebrating our son and daughter’s joint birthday parties. May, Chad and all the Oakwood team made it a very special and memorable night. Exec Chef Andy did a great job feeding the masses. Our guests had a wonderful evening and I can’t recommend the Oakwood hospitality enough. Look forward to a Sunday Roast there in the coming weeks. Thanks again.

Great pizza from the outdoor pizza oven. Fantastic service ! Lovely garden. Definitely recommend.

Nice country pub, very clean and welcoming, we just had a drink, they sell food and have a big pizza oven with lots of seating outside to

The staff are all very nice and friendly.

Lovely pub with a fairly large beer garden. All staff are friendly and the pizzas are delicious!

Great place for drinks, it has such a lovely beer garden. The staff are really nice too

Great pub. Very dog friendly and good scampi & chips.

Great night at the party...and the pizzas were superb, many thanks

The atmosphere and outside space was lovely. The meals were tasty but very small portions. The large fish and chips and scampi and chips came with 9 chips each. We did query whether we had been served the small portion in error but were reassured that the portion was correct. Thank goodness we didn't order the small portion!!

It didn't look open on the Tuesday lunchtime we visited, but we saw some lights on and went in. It was a beautiful day outside, but the interior was really quite dark and cold. My mum even went back out to get her coat from the car! There was one couple dining but no-one else to be seen! After a few minutes, we were attended to by a pleasant young man and we had the choice of tables. The menu was quite poor for gluten free dishes, with the usual suspects - ham & eggs, steak, a vegetarian jungle curry and mushroom risotto being pretty much all that was on offer. Mum doesn't like ham or steak, red curry is too hot for her, so she had the only remaining option, mushroom risotto. In fairness it was well presented and tasty. I opted for a burger with sweet potato fries which, again, was nicely presented and tasty. It's a shame really. With a bit more light and warmth (it was far warmer outside) and a greater range of dishes for those with food intolerances, it could be a good find, but we won't be returning unfortunately unless some changes are made.

Nice decor and plenty of tables inside and out. Nice location with plenty of nice cars going past outside. I personally enjoyed my chicken burger, however, my partner found her steak burger to be quite dry/chewy.

Nice friendly place good atmosphere 🙂

Really disappointed. Small portions but food was tasty enough. The service let it down. Pub very quiet yet we had to go to the bar for extra drinks as staff ignoring us. The bar staff were not friendly- looked grumpy and bored! One guy had the audacity to complain his guiness wasn't nice- we saw the bar staff talking about him behind the scene which wasn't pleasant. Won't rush back.

Quieter than it has been but good atmosphere with families and dogs welcome.

Fantastic Sunday lunch! Just been today, 3 of us enjoyed the meal, Beef roast, chicken roast and sea bass… Great service, great atmosphere and very comfortable surroundings… See you again soon ;-)

Just had a fabulous Sunday lunch at the Oakwood. Fab food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommended

Great place to sit and chat with friends or work colegues over a beverage, alcoholic or otherwise

Great to this place back open and full of great craft beer and ale.

Nice place. Good to meet friends. Excellent pricing.

We had a great time, the staff very friendly the beer and wine excellent. The group that were playing very good.

I absolutely love the location and the staff are always very pleasant. The food can be a little hit and miss but more often than not it is very good but not spectacular. The roast is sometimes spot on and sometimes average. The blackcurrant pavlova and pistachio souffle are absolutely lovely as are the dips with bread. The fish soup was very nice at one point but it changed and reduced in size. Also worth noting is that the menu doesn't change very often which means I have exhausted the things I want on the menu hence why I don't go very often any more.

We choose to eat at The Oakwood after reading good reviews via TripAdvisor. Having been disappointed in other local restaurants near us, we tried the Oakwood and found the food and service to be excellent. We were greeted when we first arrived, which sounds simple, but makes you feel really welcome. All of our food was well presented, and was delicious. The service was on point and there was a great atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon. We have booked to return again.

Really nice and well serviced party , food was very good and no complaints , the staff were very attentive and professional

Took my visiting in-laws for dinner. We had a delicious meal in a lovely atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We all had a lovely evening and great experience. We’ll be back!

Sunday lunchOnly 3 out of the 4 starters arrived the 4th arrived as other diners were finishing theirs.3 out of the 4 meals were ok the chicken was nice.we were offered a pudding or coffee free of charge in leiu of the starter but I dont do either of these so a waste of time.This really felt like a very poor chain restaurant today and we will certainly not be returning.Not a good experience at all

We visited on a Saturday night for a family celebration. We hadn't been before as we're not local, but trusted family feedback. Customer service was excellent and we had help beforehand going through some dietary restrictions on the phone. Fantastic food which was appreciated by all ages in our party.

Excellent value food which was beautifully presented and tasted delicious, lovely atmosphere, very helpful staff. We will definitely come again. The pistachio soufflé was amazing!

It would have been 5 stars if the children’s deserts did not contain nuts.......every single one! My daughter is allergic to hazelnuts and she was disappointed that not one desert was suitable for her. Even though the waitress explained that it could just been traces or cross contamination, the allergy sheet had yes next to all of them. It’s usually to see this, usually they state “could contain traces” or “cross contamination is possible”. Not sure if they have decided just to put yes against everything to cover themselves but perhaps they could at least have one that definitely didn’t.Apart from that everything was superb, lovely food and great service especially from Emma who went the extra mile to find some chocolate flakes that my daughter could have.

I have to be very careful I don't go a bit hyper about this restaurant.But I probably will.The welcome is sincere.....with a smile.The menus is more 'how or earth can I choose between these really interesting dishes' rather than 'what's the best there is'..And the preparation is outstanding.Not many times I have asked to say 'thank you' to chef. But I did today. Smashing bloke.I told you I might get a bit hyper - but this place is special. Not...'look at the plate and see how marvellous It all is' (re Michelin) but 'choose, see, enjoy' We'll be back soon.Alec and June

We had dinner at the Oakwood brasserie on Tuesday evening. It was buzzing. Good food,excellent service. We have been a few times before and always have a good meal there.

Very good food with helpful staff able to support and advise. Quiet background music that didn't intrude with table spacing that ensured privacy.

I have eaten at The Oakwood on several occasions in the past and haven't had an issue but yesterday' standard of food was mediocre. We decided to choose from the set lunchtime menu but we told after ordering that there was only the beetroot and walnut coleslaw available from the choice of starters. In effect that was just another take on a coleslaw which was umipressive and my friend left most of her starter. The main course was very mediocre, the smoked haddock rissotto compared to what we have eaten elsewhere, the Bar & Grill in the village offers the same dish which is far superior. We expressed our disappointment and were informed that the lack of starters was due to the fact that the menus wer about to change. I would suggest that the establishment removes the menu or offers altermatives from the main menu if it is unable to offer a choice to diners, especially as the restaurant was practically empty when we ordered our food, and could not say that it was due to demand on the day. It is a pity that The Oakwood is beginning to show the same decline as its sister restaurant in Knutsford, Brassiere Blanc, where I ate on Christmas Eve and I have yet to hear back from my reveiw on that occasion. Raymond Blanc needs to pay these places a visit as they trade off the back of his reputation.

Very comfortable surroundings, excellent food, extremely helpful efficient staff. Will definitely be returning and recommending to family and friends.

I brought a friend here on Monday after we'd been shopping in Wilmslow. Neither of us is local otherwise I think we would eat here very regularly, but sadly, it's just an occasional visit, maybe three or four times a year.

We love to spend our Sunday’s here. The food, the wine and the ambience is just perfect to enjoy your Sunday afternoon. Whatever we have it’s always perfect. We have virtually worked through the menu and all fab. The team here are so accommodating. Des, fran and Joao really take care of you as do the rest of the team. We love it. Thanks guys.

Lovely food...lovely wine...lovely cosy setting in the winter months.....lovely al fresco setting in the warmer months.... We always leave here full of cheer... Great team ....never disappoints.

We are here in January on a table for 4. The seating was excellent, near the roaring fire.

Two weeks ago my daughter and 13 yr old granddaughter and I went to the Oakwood in Wilmslow at about 2 pm. We had the most outstanding meal and I really should have written a review but havnt had time to do one. ( I did tell the waitress.) I chose the Mediterranean soup which came with Saffron rouille which was to die for. In fact the flavours were amazing. I then had the duck confit which was also faultless and I was totally bowled over.

Three of us dined at the Oakwood on a cold January night and we were delighted when, after a friendly welcome, our waiter promptly put some more logs on the log burner whilst we studied the menu. My wife and our friend both chose the Duck Confit for mains while I opted for the Lamb Tagine, all of which were excellently cooked. In addition, my wife thoroughly enjoyed her raspberry mocktail whilst we settled for the Merlot! Altogether a most pleasant evening once again.

Hi I went here today with my friend for Sunday lunch. Its a lovely place with nice log fires. Makes it homely. Very clean. Lovely food. Served by lovely staff. Thank you.

My wife and I ate here on our way to Manchester Airport. I had looked at other restaurants in the area but the menu here was different from other restaurants so opted for this one. It was a great choice. The restaurant was clean, well maintained with pleasant decor featuring real fires. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The food was good quality and service was prompt and efficient. The prices were reasonable for the quality and service.

We have been to The Oakwood several times over the years and each time has been excellent.

Great food as usual. Very friendly and attentive staff. Good atmosphere. What else do you need for an enjoyable evening out.

Booked a table online for Saturday evening, decided to go for the set menu which was fantastic, good service in a nice setting, will be back soon

This was a perfect night - the atmosphere was great - we arrived early & 5 of us got seating - the band was excellent & performed a great mix of classics from 5 decades - a sizable dance area - the staff were very sweet & the bar prices were reasonable - a great start to 2020.

This restaurant is in a nice setting, looks lovely inside and, in the main, has friendly and good staff.

Poor food apart from the wellington I thought. Ate 2 courses, left the rest, went home starving. The soup was literally no more than an espresso cup full (genuinely) the starter was a piece of fennel that had been chucked on a grill and was very bland. The main which was Wellington was very nice and the cheese board was two tiny pieces of suspect smelling Brie which was left By pretty much all.

Great atmosphere. Pub packed with diners and drinkers. Lots of locals to chat with and mingle with. Food great. Staff extremely patient and helpful ( we were very late sitting down, far too busy chatting at the bar ) could not have wished to visit a better place for a Christmas Eve meal.

Was given a Virgin Experience meal for 2 voucher as a birthday present and this place did not disappoint. Both the pork and mushroom fricasse main courses were excellent and the puddings delightful. Service was friendly and attentive.

Well thought out menu, well presented. Soup and main course could have been hotter. Good atmosphere, very pleasant helpful staff. Overall enjoyable

The food was excellent, the service friendly and efficient and though it was obviously a very busy day, the ambience was cosy and welcoming. I thoroughly recommend the experience. Pauline

Given it was a busy second service of the afternoon, the food and the staff were of the highest order (especially in this price bracket). I couldn’t fault either and would highly recommend.

We went as a family on Boxing Day. All I can say is,if the delicious food, the attention to detail, the superb presentation and the friendly attentiveness of the staff was like this on a day when the place was absolutely rammed full I can’t wait to try it on a quieter occasion. Some of the family had been several times, but it was my first visit and I was very impressed. Yes it is a little pricey, but this is Alderley Edge and to be fair the quality of the food warranted it. Each of my courses was tasty, well flavoured, beautifully presented and with a pleasing variety of textures. Both my starter, Moroccan meze and my dessert blackcurrant pavlova exceeding my expectations. A nice touch, as we were a group booking we had preordered our food; when we arrived there were name cards on the table with our menu choices on the back. Also the crackers contained little cookery items of quality not cheap plastic toys. We will return.

This establishment never fails to produce an exceptional experience no matter how busy they are. The whole experience is just a joy.

Des and his team run a great restaurant - the food is cooked with care and nicely presented, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the service is great - just the right side of attentive Always enjoy it here

What a disappointment!! Chicken Sunday roast without stuffing, roast potatoes which have been kept warm, cold Yorkshire pudding and gravy like dishwater, tasteless!! I’ve had numerous mediocre meals here. I think I will just drop in for a drink with my dog and eat at home!!

This is the 3rd time I’ve eaten at The Oakwood and have been impressed each time, with the quality of food, prompt service and the staff.

A friend and I came for lunch yesterday. We both thoroughly enjoyed the prix fixe menu, starter and mains. The sea bream was especially delicious.

One of our favourite places to eat out in Alderley Edge. Great food, Great Service and Great Atmosphere.

Have always had great food and friendly service. This is my nana's favourite place to eat so we visit when we can

Four of us met for lunch. We selected from the various menu's, one of us asked for the childrens/older childrens menu as she didn't want a large meal, I chose from the set menu which was very reasonably priced at just under £11 for 2 courses and the men opted for dishes from the a la carte menu.

We had lunch for the second time here, first time was very nice food, pleasant staff, ok surroundings.

Last minute decision to go out, all the usual good restaurants full. After a quick search and very good reviews we decided to book. Excellent customer service from all the staff. Great choice of food, we had the lamb special and a fish dish, not disappointed at all and will be returning very soon. Thank you.

Great wine / food but some staff and especially manageress need a course in hospitality ( lacks common common decency) . Poor attitude and service would otherwise gain 4 from me ...sadly 2 .

We visited the Oakwood again for their set menu, which is available every day upto 18.30. We had 3 courses, all of which were excellent. The menu changes every month and the food was interesting and very well-cooked. The range of beers is also very good.

Been a fair few times and it doesn't disappoint . Great food , super service, which is rare in the area, a very special day. Thanks to all who made it so enjoyable . Good value for money .

A friend and I had been staying nearby in Wilmslow and after doing some shopping during the morning, we decided to eat here before heading back home up the M6. This was, I think, my sixth visit in a three year period.

11 for a family Sunday lunch. Great grandma 94 and newest grandson 2 months. Lovely hot, well cooked roast. Friendly efficient service & reasonable prices. We would certainly recommend.

My favorite restaurant in Alderley. Great food and drink, the staff are great and there’s a very nice atmosphere !!!!!!

Once again the Oakwood pulled out all the stops to help us celebrate a birthday. Circumstances meant we hadn't booked in advance but the lovely staff at the Oakwood took a lot of trouble to accommodate us with just 24 hours notice. The food was delicious and the service excellent. Will be back again very soon.
