Amazing place, beautifully done out, lots of seating (though it did get quite busy over lunch so would recommend booking). Gorgeous outside area/smoking area. Service was good and the food was fantastic! Good range of choices, very well presented and tasted amazing 🤩 also good sized portions. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Had a lovely meal here, pie, mash and veg (the cabbage was a bit too raw for me though). Pudding was very nice, waffles & fruit. The young man who served us was excellent ‘Joe’, what professional service he gave us, he was so enthusiastic and pleasant with us, definitely a good asset to your team!

If you are eating you can order drinks at the table. If not you either need to queue in the tap room or the nicer lounge bar area adjacent to the restaurant. There is constantly a queue in the public bar (where we don’t choose to drink) and people sitting at the other bar as thee are stools provided. This evening I stood at the end off that bar and was asked to move several times before I dared to suggest it might be better to remove some stools or allow customers to order at the restaurant side of the bar. I received filthy looks from both bar staff and was snapped at by Shona who said “we do have another bar through there” !! (With a massive queue). I spend all week empathising with customers in my full time job and don’t expect to be greeted like that by staff working in hospitality

Visited on consecutive weekends for Sunday dinner. Food was fantastic on each occasion and the general ambience was comfortable, convivial and chilled. However, beyond the very satisfactory restaurant experience the biggest plus factor was the superb staff who were very friendly, helpful and efficient across the board. It really does make a difference to a dining experience when the staff take customer service to the next level. Well done to all! Will keep coming back...

I really REALLY enjoyed my meal here! The building is lovely, the food was great (big fan of a fondant potato) and the staff were absolutely brilliant. We have some rather specific dietary requirements, which were fabulously catered for by the specific dietary requirements menu. All the wait staff were cheerful, polite and attentive, the atmosphere is lovely, and we left well-stuffed and well looked after. I’d definitely come back again for dinner, or just a drink, if I’m ever in Sandbach again.

I love this place with my entire heart, it's my favourite in Sandbach. The food is always delicious and staff members are lovely. The atmosphere inside Old Hall is something unreal, as a non-British person I feel like in a movie every time I visit. The only little thing i would suggest adding is lactose free or alternative milk.

Beautiful old building with super outdoor seating with sails cover from the midday sun. Staff were very attentive. Had a cheeky white wine spritzer. Food was ok, I had a mushroom burger, perhaps the wrong choice as it was not very tasty. I was expecting a larger mushroom but instead got slices of mushroom that was deep fried in batter. Definitely will go back and try something else on the menu. Beautiful sunny day so that helped!

This wonderful medieval Inn is worth a visit to Sandbach alone! But even better, the staff is friendly and the food partly amazing. Try the wonderful burrata! The original gazpacho panna cotta was not ideally paired with an equally intense pesto, but still good. Don’t miss it and take enough time to see the unique Sandbach Crosses and the historic cemetery across the street.

It’s the first time I’ve been here in a few years and the service has become utterly diabolical.

I hope this restaurant isn't going downhill.... In summary, good food, poor slow service. Not as good as other places in Sandbach. Food was good but very slow service which was frustrating when we had two children with us. When we were served, the staff were pleasant. I expected better attendance for the price. It felt like hard work to get attention and service. The general manager was dismissive when we complained and begrudgingly provided discount off the bill after some awkward negotiation.

A welcome return to this lovely old hall and its staff. This visit it was better than ever. Very busy Tuesday lunchtime but the staff kept smiling and look ed after us well. For staters we chose thye pate with an apricot chutney that addedreal balance, and the blackpudding and pancetta croquettes. Somethin a bit diffrent, and again with lovely flavours. Main was the salmon and cod fishcakes (always reliable) and the fish and chips. The fish has probably got a bit smaller in recent times, but it is still substantial, and the smaller portion means less of astruggle to clear the plate. A lovely lunch ... so until next time ... thank you!!

I have visited this café on a number of occasions & always had great food / service. However, I visited last Saturday morning & left feeling extremely disappointed. During this visit the food was lovely, but the quality of a certain staff member left a lot to be desired. The member of staff struggled to follow instructions. On two occasions I asked for certain things regarding our food order & on two occasions she either ignored or forgot both things. We also purchased some of the Victoria sponge cake to takeaway. When we went to eat the cake once we got home, we found the cake to extremely dry & there was also baking paper in the middle of the sponge. It is a massive disappointment to be writing this review as this was one of my favourite little cafes.
