The Roebuck Inn in Cheshire East - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food was nice service was very slow

Excellent service great location really good breakfast options cooked to a high standard.

Fantastic Sunday Lunch. Lovely, atmospheric country pub - candle lit.

Quirky vibe but great food, service and rooms.

Everything was perfect. Service, decor, food. What a top place. Would recommend it to anyone.

Monkfish was lovely, french onion soup AMAZING (really, you have to try it) but the roast potatoes covered in duck fat need longer in the oven... The chicken less time..Otherwise what a lovely pub !

Didn’t stay at the Inn, just went for an after wedding meal. Service and food were good. Staff very friendly. Very enjoyable. The bride and groom did stay and said room was lovely.

We had lunch here, beautiful garden. Food was great, so fresh well made.

Lovely place, good food, beer, staff and it's half price on Friday's!! Only teasing, it's not half price but worth every penny... enjoy!!

The accommodation is fantastic. I loved staying here the night before my wedding - the rooms were spacious and high quality. I really loved the roll top bath !

Called to book a reservation and the women on the phone was rude and a snob. “ I don’t think we dooooo” Put me off from ever visiting. Also put the phone down on me when I first called.

Had a superb experience this past weekend as we made The Roebuck Inn a part of our wider wedding celebrations. Booking out all available rooms, each were clean and refreshed each day, the food for both breakfast and dinner of a high quality, and the members of staff across all 3 days were welcoming and no request a chore. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing day celebrating my great nephews holy communion. Connor the barman was so helpful and accommodating to us. We then went outside as it was a nice sunny day and the Manager Chris could not do enough for us . Fab day had by all. Highly recommend

Fabulous meal. Lovely atmosphere but very busy. Staff very nice.

Really a restaurant at which you can buy drinks. Sat outside in the sun - quite pleasant!

Not a pub as such, but great food and service. Will go again

My partner was telling me about how good the french onion soup was, so I decided to surprise him and take him back after 5years, I can confirm that it was delicious. The service was quick and efficient, lovely atmosphere. Would recommend :)

Had a wonderful meal with friends, celebrating a birthday

Had a lovely stay here for the cosy retreat! All staff are very friendly and the rooms are cosy. Food in the restaurant is also lovely, Will definitely return :) xx

A great location for the pub/restaurant. The outside seating areas are wonderful, especially on a warm day in the sunshine. This is a great place to walk to with friends & family with great views of the Cheshire countryside. The staff are wonderful and know there restaurant very well. We didn't stay in the hotel part of the inn but I've heard good things from friends who have stayed. Give it a try if your interested. For me, I live too close so would visit only for special occasions. We visit with friends regularly, the meals are very good for beef on a Sunday with family. The restaurant is always full, I'd prefer book if going for a special occasion, best to be safe than sorry.

Beautiful food very welcoming. We had a lovely lunch with our baby and dog. They do doggy beer and biscuits too. We will be back and 100% recommend.

Lovely, hostelry in a very lovely setting, car park almost always full yet not many clientele. Opposite the Bulls head pub. We went in and asked for a seat and were not disappointed. The small plates had a nice selection but quite rich for brunch bellies. It came quickly and it was very tasty. We would return more frequently if they changed the menu more often, but we'll see.

Lovely cosy pub with a very good boeuf bourguignon. One of the waitresses is half French and we live in France. The posters of the circuit des remparts are in the toilet area and races are held in Angoulême at our doorstep.

I had the Sunday roast, it looked lovely and plenty of veg and beef. The problem was hard roasties and the beef had loads of grisl, we had to ask for steak knives, non the less it wasn't pleasant to try and eat and cut out all the grisl. They were so busy it took a long time to be served and we were told when our desert arrived that the next sitting were waiting for the table. We were not pleased as it was them that were slow in serving us. They have let themselves down as it's a beautiful country pub. We won't be going back.

Lockdown takeaway Sunday roast was absolutely delicious. Booked and paid for over the phone then collected outside with a ring of the bell. Heated up at home following the instructions and popping the beef under the grill for our own preference, we tucked in to a lovely flavoured full roast.

An excellent Just Heat' Sunday Roast Beef Takeaway. Absolutely fantastic, would highly recommend and we will definitely be back again. Makes life so easy. Thank you.

The pleasant pub restaurant is closed due to Covid but offer a take away service. A good menu and prompt service. You order and have a selected time for pick up. Food well cooked and packaged well.

Megan was such a lovely waitress so friendly. The food was fab and we had the best time thank you. X

Stayed here on the 24th October , Keiran welcomed us and showed us to our beautiful room picpoul. Room was very bohemian with a large bathtub up a set of stairs , we had a few drinks across the road at the bulls head then returned for a meal at the Roebuck, Keiran recommended a wine and it was fantastic and complimented the meal. Breakfast was quick and high quality , and the Bloody Mary from the dedicated Bloody Mary menu was the best I have ever had , all over was a great short stay and would definitely recommend to all my friends and family .!!!! 5*

Last night we popped in just for a drink. We were waiting to go for a meal in the Bull over the road but asked the chap who greeted us if it would be O.K for us to have a drink. He could not have been more pleasant and helpful. With a cheery smile he found us a table and brought us our drinks. You actually felt that he wanted us to be there and enjoy the ambience of the place. Now we did as usual have a good meal in The Bull but we will be eating in the Roebuck next time as the menu looked so good and with a welcoming feel to the place I want to enjoy the experience again. Found out from their website that our waiter was called Niall so thank you to him.

We enjoyed both our meals at the Roebuck - both on the Eat out to help out deal and more recently. The no booking option works well when it is kind enough to eat outside - you n always find a table. The food remains good quality and there is always a decent beer on ( I like the Shipyard IPA).The covid protocol seems practical and the service remains cheerful and competnt.

We’ve just visited The Roebuck with our two daughters for brunch. We started with creamy porridge and the most amazing granola with Greek yoghurt and berries. We then followed with cooked breakfasts and my daughter had crushed avocado on sourdough with poached eggs - huge portions!Everything tasted fresh and we could tell that they used the best ingredients.The lady that served us was very attentive without being intrusive and was really friendly.We’ll definitely be visiting again.

Very busy when we were there. No masks being worn by any of the staff: no attempt to encourage guests to use sanitiser: name and phone number registration not comprehensively enforced: not all tables cleaned between users: no chairs cleaned that I saw: generally in need of a good “scrub” was my impression. Obviously relies on its popularity and consequently tries less hard.The food was good, but the service very, very slow. Plenty of staff but headless chicken syndrome from what I saw.The duvet, not the cover, badly stained. The toilet seat very loose. No toilet cover and ridiculously few ordinary 3 pin plugs and no tv. Milk left for morning coffee sour and the hot water, luke warm.A real shame. With some effort, it could be very good. The room was quirky, which is fine but it has to be done properly to work and this wasn’t - even though I’m sure the refurb was very expensive.I don’t like giving less than positive reviews but I couldn’t and wouldn’t recommend it, particularly with Covid being prevalent and particularly so in an area so close to Manchester.

Terrible Beef Bourguignon The beef Terribly Tough not cut and cooked correctly NO delicious red wine /lardons gravy. Very disappointed Friends had a tough lamb curry too. Coffee we all ordered it black and it was awfulWe will not be eating here again shame as we local

Gorgeous Sunday lunch here today ...we had the sharing roast . It was amazzing as the picture shows ... so much veg lovely pink fillet of beef & fab roasties & gravy We have actually been trying out lots of different pubs Around Cheshire on a Sunday & this one we would put right up there together with its sister pub The Church My only gripe with the Roebuck would be with the wine list ?? we didn’t find as much choice as we would have liked and the wine glasses themselves weren’t great ... thick & cloudy glass unusual for a pub of this calibre . Still all in all would definitely recommend

Absolutely delicious Roast Beef - beef cooked to perfection and just melted in one's mouth - perfection on a HOT (yes, not lukewarm!) plate. Staff extremely friendly and polite - a super way to pass a Sunday afternoon. Many thanks.

Had a great lunch at the Roebuck with my wife. Had the soft Tacos which were very nice and warm chocolate pudding. Would recommend

A friend and I ate here on the last Friday before Christmas. We had tried its sister pub across the road a few weeks previously and wanted to try out this one to compare.The setting is lovely and it felt very festive too. The food was excellent. The service was rather slow (yet the main part of the pub wasn't particularly busy).I'd be happy to come here again though on reflection, I did prefer the Bull's Head.

My friend and I had already visited the Bulls Head opposite and wanted to try The Roebuck to see how it compared. On a personal level I enjoyed this pub better but my friend preferred the Bulls Head.I thought this pub was nice and cosy - I really liked the decor and the staff were really friendly. I opted for the Fish and Chips. The batter was exceptional and the chips were beautifully seasoned. What was nice was that the fish was not too big or overfacing. There was an office Christmas party in the pub but this did not affect noise levels or service at all. There are other pubs in this group that I think we will have to try out sometime but I would definitely come back here again.

We love it here, cute and quirky deco, the staff are always polite and happy. spend a few hours in the beer garden and sit and chat to other guests. always a great meal. we live local but I will stay over in the rooms one day.

Called in Friday lunch. Great choice of menu, very enjoyable meal on hot plates. Good well kept beer. Very pleasant, friendly staff and all at a fair price. Will definately return.

I asked if the Papardelle contained egg and was told no after checking with the chef so I ordered it. When it arrived it clearly looked like egg pasta and tasted like it as well. But even better the chef sprinkled Parmesan on it which wasn’t mentioned in the menu at all. Surely this wasn’t an accident. On top of that I asked for bottled water, I received the (filtered) tap water and asked again for bottled water. The waiter just rolled his eyes. I have to say we loved that restaurant and went there approximately once a week, since all the staff changed the place is going down hill and the staff are arrogant and rude. Not going back anytime soon.

Stayed for 1 night mid week and we thoroughly enjoyed this very quirky pleasant comfortable stay . Room absolutely fabulous, Free standing Bath , Large Comfortable Bed , even the radio tuned in to Classic FM and log burner just adds to the ambiance .. Food amazing. Service couldn’t fault especially the young man who checked us in . He was so efficient, friendly and so professional . We ventured over to the pub over the way for a bite to eat when we arrived The Bulls Head which was really good too ( run by the same people as The Roebuck ) Now a firm favourite of mine and we will definitely return , to stay in a fabulous room with great food and fantastic service .Thank You

My wife and I with our son and his girlfriend had a lovely night out here for dinner.Parking was a bit of a challenge but the food was great both presentation and flavour.A small negative was service was at times a bit slow.But great food

Found this place after visiting Tatton park. Lovely spot . This is a restaurant not a pub as it doesn’t really have a bar area. The staff are friendly and professional. The toilets are clean. The place is very quirky with little books on the tables. If it has a fault it is too dark to read the menus. The food was excellent and varied and I will be back again. The prices are a little on the steep side but it was a good experience.

Stayed on Saturday for one night in the Picpoul room which came with a very big freestanding bath and very company bed. We arrived two hours before check-in which I advised them of prior to visiting but was more than happy to leave our bags whilst we went for a walk, however, they had our room ready for us which was amazing service. Dinner was very nice, especially the chickpea fritters which were a surprise because they were so light and creamy. We couldn't fault the breakfast on Sunday either, it was so tasty. The team was very pleasant and friendly throughout our stay. We would definitely return again.

We were warmly greeted on arrival and were well looked-after by Meghan throughout the evening. We both indulged in 3 courses each; each component was exremely well-cooked; the fish, in particular, was excellent. The starter and main dishes we chose were all a fusion of flavours that worked very well. The interior of the Roebuck is characterful and comfortable; unique and thoughtful features such as the presentation of the drinks menu stood out. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Chose to go back to the Roebuck on a beautiful sunny bank holiday . We were not disappointed ... from the quirky garden the special barbecue menu and the attentive staff (all of which were great) .

Our latest visit to the Roebuck was probably our best. The staff were excellent, very accommodating. We arrived early and were allocated the Pecorino room. Great choice. We usually stay in Picpoul, but Pecorino was really lovely. Very peaceful. The breakfast was fabulous. All in all 10/10. Can’t wait to go back.

We attended a wake here recentley. The staff were excellent they couldnt do enough for you, the buffet was fabulous. They kept good beer too.

Had not been to the Roebuck since it’s reopening by I believe the owners of the excellent Bulls Head (opposite) and almost as good Church Inn. Shabby chic eccentric decoration which must be a pain to dust. Interesting menu. French onion soup was excellent and very filling putting paid to trying a sweet. The fish and chips were described eloquently as cod loin with French fries, petit pois and anchovy tartare and went down well. Have 3 good bottled ciders on the drinks list which appears inside a manual for hen keeping. The temperature of mine needed to be a little cooler. All in all worth a visit with good service from pleasant staff.

With a friend, we visited The Roebuck Inn for lunch on a Saturday lunchtime mid July. We both enjoyed the quirkiness of this old pub, the friendly service and the tasty food.

The Roebuck Inn is an absolute beauty of a little gem. We came for a coffee and a chat about booking their garden for our post wedding recovery day. We loved it and ended up staying for a beer, a beautiful Sunday roast and also booked the garden space and also a room for our wedding night. Chris, Karen and all the team looked after us so much we couldn't not reserve it all! Can't wait to be back again...hopefully soon. Well done.

Visited on a rainy summer evening and really enjoyed the cosy, relaxed vibe. The food is excellent - hearty portions and lots of choice. The soft tacos are soo good (I recommend trying the cauliflower ones). Nice wines and friendly staff, am looking forward to going back again soon!

We visited on a nice warm day so we sat outside in a patio area which is on a few different levels behind the Pub.

We went for lunch on Sunday, the pub is really lovely inside and cosy, perfect for winter, but we sat outside in the sunny garden.

Me and my husband stayed here, superb, idyllic location. Very friendly staff. Room was very nice and rustic. Couldn’t have been more satisfied. The breakfast was amazing too. Will be making another visit.

Great place to stay staff really welcoming rooms amazing and the location is amazing a real gem and only a very short drive to Manchester airport

Attended a family wedding reception here on 22nd June. The Roebuck put on a fabulous evening. The service was first class, and so was the food.

Met friends here, we had travelled from Wales and they had come from a Yorkshire.

From booking on line, really easy quick and available time slots. Excellent.

I phoned the pub last minute on a bank holiday Monday not hopeful of getting in but the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and found us a table at peak time.

We were seeking a room within easy driving distance of Manchester but rural and with good food/ drinks. Mobberley fitted the description and Roebuck Inn was well regarded for both food and rooms. Just back and it was fabulous!!

Called in for a quick drink on the way home on a Monday late afternoon, but quickly realised this quirky ‘pub’ is more of a restaurant. They don’t have Guinness or fruit cider, but immediately suggested trying the Roebuck Craft Lager or, if we really wanted a Guinness to pop over to The Bull’s Head across the road, which is their sister company.

The food was really poor and dissappoint. Will not be returning it like eating food out of a freezer.

We took family members for lunch. The food was so good. Very creative lite bites and exceeded my expectations. Service was exceptional. The guys were very attentive and we will definitely visit again

This is a very unusual pub which the owners have kept its rustic charm. The pub doesn’t have a bar to speak of its more of an old sideboard in a gap. A few local,still mange to huddle in the corner making a make shift bar. It’s unusual through and through from the beers to the glasses which are a touch too shabby chic for me. Called in for Sunday roast which was excellent. A nice welcome and very good service which is very much the hallmark of the group. The pub opposite is also in the same group. Keeping two very busy pubs in such a small village is a testamate to how good they are.

Built in 1708 and undergone extensive renovation this Inn/Restaurant has an amazing atmosphere. Owned by an Aussie who has a flair for making people Welcome and a team of hard working staff to which nothing was too much trouble This is a must to visit.

An amazing experience for both me and and my husband. The food was delicious we had the lamb shank and monk fish dishes. Everything was cooked to perfection.

From the moment we arrived we felt completely relaxed - every single member of staff made us feel so welcome and could not do enough for us. The Picpoul suite was out of this world and I could have happily stayed for a month !! The food at The Roebuck is amazing (especially the pizza) and breakfast was excellent. It was lovely to relax in a pub/restaurant that is totally unique. Thank you so much for making our overnight stay so memorable. Would return at the drop of a hat :) xx

Was put on the back foot here straight away. No highchairs available. And I don't mean that they were all in use, there just weren't any. We booked through the website and there is no mention of this but it does say children under 10 welcome until 7:30pm. My seat was in a narrow thouroughfare that meant I got kicked every time someone walked behind me. I ordered pizza for myself and children. On arrival they were lukewarm. My eldest barely ate any, and when asked if he enjoyed it replied simply "No". My wife said her roast was good however. Given that there were no highchairs we had to play 'pass the toddler' so there was no opportunity to relax. Frayed nerves meant we didn't get to dessert so can't comment on that. On the plus side the fizzy rhubarb drink was nice. Disappointed as we had been looking forward to the meal.

Just spent a night here and literally cannot fault the place: quirky, cosy interiors; delicious food; relaxed atmosphere; friendly, welcoming staff. If you like sth a bit unique, this is the place for you. Think candlelit bistro with open fire, log burner and roll top bath (in Pecorino suite), perfect Prosecco and a meal that neither of us could fault (try the monkfish or pumpkin tacos). But what makes this place is the fab staff-thank you, Sam from Cov and the lovely woman who sorted breakfast this morning (sorry didn’t catch your name). We will definitely be back!

We stayed at the Roebuck Inn on a package deal - B&B; at The Roebuck and evening meal at The Church Inn. Firstly impressions is the Roebuck is more of a Bistro than a pub but as there is another pub literally 20 yards across the road this wasn't a problem, we had a very friendly welcome and were show up to our room - across some very squeaky floorboards - our room was lovely nice comfy bed, roll-top bath and shower with excellent selection of toiletries, nice white fluffy towels - we asked for a iron and ironing board which were quick brought up to our room. Next morning we had a lovely breakfast plenty of coffee, juice, fruit and cereal to choose from followed by a good selection of hot food all served with a smile, we've stayed in hotels with bigger reputations that would do well to match what we received from The Roebuck.

I had one of the best food in this place.

Fantastic stonebacked pizzas, with some original topping combinations. Also buy one get one free on Wednesdays. Fantastic beer garden very homely with great service

We stayed for one night at this gorgeous pub. The service from the minute we stepped through the door was FANTASTIC. We were shown to our beautiful french chic room by a lovely helpful chap who offered to light our wood burner and get us some coffees. The radio was already on in the room playing classical music which was a nice little touch.

My husband and I came to stay here for 1 night for a little midweek getaway.

We ate breakfast here on the two days whilst staying at the hotel (see separate review). Was surprisingly pleasing given the poor reviews we had read on tripadvisor. Good range of muesli, granola, fruit, cake, pastries, yoghurt etc And an extensive menu for cooked breakfast. We both opted for the cooked breakfast and it was very good. Sausage and black pudd8ng were very tasty, i’d Have preferred unsmoked bacon personally. A well cooked, hearty breakfast, with very pleasant and polite fronnt of house staff. Top rated was their tea ... first class. Downside ... On day two we had a considerable wait, which wasn’t a problem for us ... the head chef had gone awol,

Visited here based on the reviews but frankly the food was awful. Lamb shank was undercooked to the point where it was tough. Both myself and partner experienced same concern but the “waiter” was totally uninterested - no apology.. he just cleared the 1/4 eaten food away and brought the bill.

Shocking food steak with mac Donald's like chips

Ten out of ten for the decor and atmosphere but the food is a five out of ten at best, our family group had a variety of dishes . Although we all ate most of our meals from curied lamb to pizzas we were all in agreement that we wouldn’t go rushing back for the food.

The real test of any business is how they manage feedback.

Outstanding. Excellent food and service. Great atmosphere and selection of beers and food. . Must cost and will definately return very soon.

We enjoyed dinner here after a busy day at the Tatton Park RHS Flower Show. Service was a little bit slow but the restaurant was very busy because of the show and we were in no rush. The menu included some unusual choices which was very nice to see as lots of restaurants seem to have very similar menus nowadays. The wine list was the same and we had a very nice English sparkling wine. All in all a lovely relaxed evening.

Came hear with family. It’s off the main roads so thank you to trip advisor for listing it.

Sat outside on a summers evening. Ordered wine and unmatched fairground glasses were produced.We were not given the chance to taste the wine which was almost undrinkable and quite expensive. I did not query anything as I should have because I was a guest.

My lovely Fiancé treated me to a night away for my birthday on 7th July. Beautiful building, beautiful room (complimentary upgrade to their best room as it was my birthday) friendly staff, lovely food. We have stayed in some amazing places and have added The Roebuck to the list. We will definitely be back again, thank you!

We wanted a peaceful lunch setting to sit outside and enjoy the lovely weather and away from the crowds watching the football game. We were not dissapointed. We had not been in the pub for a long time and were suprised to see the changes and the welcome additon of the garden at the back. The food we both had the lamb burger which was delicious and the staff and service were impeciable. I understand that they were quiet but they went to another level coming out to the table and asking if they could get us more drinks etc. We look forward to visiting again. Thanks to all the staff

On a very hot early evening, we were looking for a pub where we could sit outdoors in the shade. The garden area here was just perfect - not the big impersonal outdoor dining area you often find, but several smaller areas, both in the garden - which is to the side and up a little higher than the pub itself - and outdoors at the front of the pub. All of the outdoor areas have bucketloads of charm and character, as does this pub’s interior. We ordered platters and pizzas to share. Nothing disappointed - all attractively presented and tasty. Great service and good prices, and all of this in an attractive small village setting. We will be happy to return.

I stayed here last night and it was an all round pleasant experience from the check in to the drinks and my evening meal.

One of original Cheshire Cat Pubs. As far removed from a chain hotel as you can get no flat screen tv no Corby trouser press no tea and coffee in room no wardrobe safe just the essentials a comfy bed nice vintage bathroom only modernity are central heating, electrical fittings inc smoke detector and free WiFi. Set in deep in Cheshire set countryside yet at same time under Manchester airport flight path. Spoke to local builders (one working on Wayne’s £10m new hose) along with Cheshire set in bling range rovers. At first appearance like the rest of the property it looks randomly decorated and furnished but on closer inspection you realise this has been put together with great care by an interior designer. Stripped creaky floor boards (spare boards used to line corridor walls) bare brickwork adorned with lots of mirrors paintings and some large homoerotic art works! Radiators boards on walls crossed eyed plumber wood burning stove terraced cottage garden not sure about pendant light over a bath beware very hot water so run bath before you get in! Dining room is similarly, random candle lit ambience in evening, with nothing matching but somehow it all makes sense and is homely and cosy. Also has car park and nice rear garden plus sister pub Bull’s Head with beer garden opposite. Lovely blues jazz chill out (deep house) music in bar. £150 a night - worth splashing out

I went here for tea last night and had such a lovely evening. The surroundings are perfect, particularly the garden area at the back, and the food was really special. I had the gnocchi, which was homemade, and one of the nicest meals I've had in a while! I'd highly recommend The Roebuck to anyone looking for somewhere which serves good food in a countryside surrounding.

We recently celebrated our wedding at this lovely little bistro pub in Mobberley. It is deal for small intimate occasions up to a maximum of 50. The whole experience was unquestionably unforgettable occasion, enjoyed by everyone not the least ourselves; the meal was delicious, served promptly, freshly cooked and hot (for 50 people). The garden area at the back served as an great outside area, along with the marquee where we had the actual ceremony. This doubled as the dance-floor later on. The staff are friendly helpful and discreet. The whole event was superbly organized the events manager.

Popped in Sunday on the off chance as was in the area. Couldn't fault the service and although we didnt eat a lot what we had was very tasty. The decor is an eclectic mix and works well. will return.

Parking is always tight but achievable. Entering the shabby-chic restaurant, our welcome was friendly and prompt. Although my wife was unable to have a glass of NZ Sauvy as an aperitif, she was very pleasantly surprised to find the unexpected Spanish Sauvy excellent - a good start! I chose a Weetwood cask ale which is always a smart choice in Cheshire.

We went for dinner mid-week, what a fabulous place, the menu is great as are the staff and the ambiance. I had the chilli garlic prawns, and the lasagne which was outstanding, really quirky place, they have a lovely garden area as well. Will definitely be back.

We stayed here on Saturday night and cannot say enough about how good our stay was. The Inn itself its so quirky, loved the décor. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food we had in the evening was excellent - service was excellent. I particularly liked the fact that no one was rushing you to leave your table and pay the bill. the breakfast was excellent. I loved the fact that there was no TV in the room. I would 100% recommend The Roebuck Inn to anyone, and will definitely be going back!

The Roebuck and it’s ‘sister’ pubs, the Bull Inn and Church Inn are in the beautiful village of Mobberley very close to Manchester Airport. Roebuck is the only one with accommodation and it’s WOW factor is impressive. We stayed in Bobal which was full of quirky shabby chic pieces many of which looked like they’d come from a French flea market. The overall comfort in our room was fine except that Bobal doesn’t have comfortable armchairs whereas I believe some of the other rooms do. The deep clawfoot tub was divine and there is also a real fire in this room although we didn’t need to use it. We enjoyed a delicious dinner in the equally impressive dining room and our breakfast was great with the best ever granola made in house. All the staff are very friendly and these pubs are obviously very popular with the locals. If you’re looking for somewhere beautiful to stay near Manchester, the Roebuck it it.

We dined here on a Saturday night for my father in law’s birthday, party of 6 adults. Our table was really pretty with candles and other nice touches. Our pre drinks came quickly and service was polite and super efficient. We shared 4 starters between 6 of us and all were delicious. I had the cod and ratatouille for main which just melted, really well cooked. Others had lamb shank, curried goat, chicken and steak ... every plate went back empty! The sides of salads and vegetables were really fresh and presented beautifully. We skipped pudding as we had birthday cake back home. A successful night all round ... we have been back since and the food, service and ambience were just as good. This time we had the crepe Suzette which was top notch. Excellent!

Five (including an infant) of us went here for Easter Sunday lunch and we loved it. The restaurant had a certain quirkiness to it which was very welcoming, the main dining room was very cosy and comfortable - which added to a great Sunday afternoon atmosphere - with the tables and chairs all different, giving off a real nice vibe.
