Just so glad to see it open again, when it had seemed it might never! Love the décor and the atmosphere of quiet relaxation available. Please though, early days I know, offer a decent, mid-range bitter. The place deserves to succeed, then we'll have a wonderful drinking quarter with Red Willow, The Fountain, Jolly Sailor and Treacle Tap to fall inn and out of.

Decided to have my 40th birthday party here (wanted people to have seats and the music not to be so loud we couldn't natter!) - booked a room out and ordered some cold buffet options. It was absolutely perfect! Louise laid on the most delicious and nicely arranged feast (AMAZING meatballs and divine chips) and was friendly and helpful. The bar staff were very helpful on the night and the atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommended!

Eating and drinking in the Snow Goose was an absolute delight. After a lengthy train ride to Macclesfield from Euston, I had a quick hour to kill before attending a business meeting. The look and feel of the place immediately hits you; this is no ordinary bar. This is not your typical, predictably furnished pub — there’s character and touch. It’s warm, busy (without feeling too busy) and the lady behind the bar is bubbly and full of enthusiasm. As an added bonus, the Snow Goose has it’s own piano! It’s not horribly out of tune like a number of pub piano’s I know, so feel free to bust out a tasty tune. I sure did!

Whilst waiting for our food there was an array of entertainment including board games. Food was a relatively small portion but was a good cheap price so not disappointing. Very nice place and would visit again if I’m ever in Macclesfield!

I've only been here 4 or 5 times since it opened and there's a few reasons for that. From the outside and as you enter, it looks like a cosy quirky little bar with cushions and newspapers lying around. Unfortunately the long seats are just uncomfortable and in the cold weather, it's never warm enough as was the case on our last visit in December.I've never had a beer that I like and there's a premium on the drink prices.On one occasion, when the bar was very busy, I had my back to a window. Someone warned me, just too late, that there were Orchids behind me. The owners did settle the specialist dry cleaning bill and told me the staff had been told to remove the stamens.Maybe I've just been unlucky and I will give the Snow Goose another try soon and hopefully we can get on better next time.

We called in mid-afternoon when it was really quiet, but I'd love to see this place when it's more lively because it looks like the ideal place for a get-together with loads of people. It's got that ad hoc, vintage, chilled vibe about it, with an interior that makes you want to stay, relax and drink. The staff look after their drinks (and their lines, which were getting cleaned when we were there) and they have a good range on offer. We intend to go back with reinforcements and spend more time and money there.

Just in town for a few hours, but liked the look of the place as I rode past, so went back to visit. Unfortunately they had a pop up kitchen that evening, so they weren't doing lunch, plus a few beers were off due to line cleaning (quiet time). However they were incredibly friendly and welcoming to me, allowing me to bring my own food in to eat, and as a result I spent a few relaxing hours there. If I'm in town again I'll definitely be going back.

Quirky bar that acts as the brewery tap for Macclesfield brewer, Storm. Eclectic furniture is everywhere, set over two floors, plus the additional rooftop beer garden which is probably unique in the town. Welcomes families, so the children can use the board games and toys that abound. Usually three or four cask beers on.

Parents had eaten here before and said it was good. But the Sunday lunch was disappointing. Beef was tough, vegetables hard and the roast potatoes were the worst I've ever tasted. Gravy was tasteless. Man who I assume was the manager was miserable about having some confetti on the table, saying it's ruin the varnish if the confetti got wet. I'd checked with the first member of staff we met and he said it was fine to put it on the table. Service and dessert was good to be fair, very attentive service. But would not go back, especially for Sunday lunch.

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.

Visited on a Saturday night for food without a booking… the bar was very busy and the restaurant was also nearly full but they accommodated us with a table for two. The service and food was excellent, the Cheese Pie was amazing and clearly homemade. Our waiter was really helpful and was attentive and dealt with are requests to amend dishes without any hesitation. The Duty Manager Emily was lovely and was the first contact we had when we arrived and Ashleigh was great recommending the right Gin when we had a drink in the bar afterwards. Defiantly a great local in Middlewich centre.
