The Spring Gardens in Stockport

The food here is to die for and the staff are amazing

No food the chef did not turn up on friday night so went to the norfolk arms in marple bridge for dinner

Just popped in for a cheeky pint after a dog walk. It was very quiet given it was a Monday night... Just a few chatty regulars around the bar. Super friendly folk behind the bar, outdoor decking, shandies, and a car park made it nice and chill.

Nice food and a large outside area perfect for the kids to run around on a nice day.

Nice public house with a great atmosphere and feeling as you walk in. Staff were really friendly. Saying it was my first time in there, the locals made me feel welcome. Would definitely go in here again

We came as part of Mild Magic, so were only drinking on a bank holiday Monday afternoon. Getting in was an issue due to the number of cars parked on the pavement, which is not the pub's fault and the door is pretty accessible when you've fought your way there. There is a carpark round the back. The beer was OK, but the bar staff was confused by soft drink requests. The lime and soda was so flat it might have well have been made with tap water. There is no accessible toilet. The pub is quite sizable, so I'm not sure why not. If this place had one, I would have rated it 4*. The locals seemed nice and chatty and it's dog friendly.

Great pub, Great food, Great atmosphere! The Sunday Dinner was delicious! Staff are really friendly and welcoming!

Pad beef sharing carvery well recommended

They hosted my father in law’s post funeral function yesterday and did a wonderful job. Superb service, fantastic food, warm atmosphere in comfortable surroundings. Thoroughly recommend. Thank you.

Called in here whilst on a break from work and had the trio of meats roast. Everything was delicious except maybe the stuffing. Nice portion of veg and roasties all done very nice. The meat was very tender but must have been cut with a razor blade it was that thin !! Still tasty but would of been much better if they had cut the meat into proper cuts of meat. When it came to the bill the roast was £22.50 then the lady said there is a £2 supplement for Lamb so the dinner cost £24.50 on its own ! That’s right at the top end of high end restaurant prices ! Washed down with a lime and soda and my bill was £26.30. Don’t know what else to say really

Best roast dinner I’ve had in a LONG time! Friendly service, poor waiting staff were understaffed so it was a struggle for them but they did their best!

Last minute booking for a birthday tea with friends. Received a warm welcome from lovely staff and enjoyed a great meal. The history of the place is fascinating too. Will be back.

Custom cheesy chips & chillie. The best! Shame Simon's moving on but all the best for the new venture. Let's see what the future brings.

We went for food and a couple of drinks here yesterday, it’s a lovely place the staff are lovely and accommodating. They are so friendly and welcoming. My son has additional needs and the girl who was working on the bar at the time (with the blue hair) came over to our table and brought him a game to play with at the table. The food was delicious too, highly recommend the tandoori chicken ciabatta :-) all round great place we will be back next weekend!

By far the best Sunday roast I've ever eaten, the beef was so juicy and tender, the veg cooked to perfection and all for a steal of a price....be warned this place gets busy and rightfully so.

Celebrated a birthday lunch. Excellent service, friendly staff. Great food, wide choice. Good portions. Lovely location. Highly recommended. Thank you for making our party so welcome.

We had a great lunch here on Saturday. The beer was on form, and the food top notch.

Great service, friendly staff, good beer and excellent food. I had a pint of Landlords, and the Steak in Red wine pie, chips and veg. The food was all home made. The steak in the pie was tender and full of flavour. And the chunky chips reminded me of the ones my mum used to make.

Great Sunday dinner —very busy but didn’t have to wait long to be served—— waitresses were very pleasant and helpful b—— will definitely be going again soon — thank youn

A mate promised me an amazing meal and it didn’t disappoint! The ciabatta was packed with thick braised steak that melted in your mouth. Service was great and the staff were very friendly. Think my mate has a thing for one of them to be honest.

Stayed overnight in our motorhome in the massive rear car park. Had a few pints of well kept White Rat from Ossett Brewery whilst watching the rugby. Great atmosphere and good selection of beers. Big shout out to Zara who is one of the friendliest and helpful hosts you could meet. A real credit to the business, very busy but still time for a chat and a constant smile.

Last minute visit to this lovely spot for Sunday lunch, before heading up to the local Moovin festival. Staff were lovely, extremely helpful fitting us in and couldn't have done more for us. Food was up there with the best, the roast potatoes were pure filth 😍 The pad beef was very well cooked, fell apart on the fork, and the veg was fresh and tasty. 10/10 so glad we made the decision to try this gem of a place!

We held a gathering here for family and friends, old and young. Everyone was so helpful and friendly when arranging this and we had a super time. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the buffet food was superb! The outdoor space was a hit with young children too. Thank you Sam and the team!

We had a party of family and friends here. Staff were really friendly and accommodating in helping to arrange and on the day too. Everyone was amazing and the buffet food was all home cooked and tasted really good! I would highly recommend and would definitely book to come here again.

We had been walking in the area and fancied a stop off for lunch. The food here was good and the young lady serving us was very pleasant and friendly. The pub is dog friendly so we hope to be back some time with my dad and his dog. Well recommended!

Best Sunday dinner I’ve ever eaten. The staff and atmosphere was great as well.

Great place to stay to visit family. Staff, especially Zara pleasent and helpful. Food fantastic and definitely value for money. Would stay again if in the area.

We were all having a family meal get together for our overseas cousins. Just to say …. The Food was excellent also the staff and of course the Atmosphere. Fabulous Afternoon

Very welcoming staff early this Thursday afternoon. Lovely pub and great beer garden.

Quiet lunchtime meal, nice place, nice food, and friendly service.

Good beer,well kept. Friendly service from all the staff.

Fabulous family friendly pub. Been for tea with the family tonight, food was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed there meals. Bar staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Amazing atmosphere. Highly recommended. Food was delicious kelly Well done x x

I come here once every year for buckle and boots festival. The food here is really really good. It really is exceptional. The pad beef Sunday roast, it's the best beef I've ever had on a Sunday roast. It really is that good. Also the staff and the service is amazing. It's the real deal.

What a fantastic place. The food was amazing - probably one of the best steaks I have had in a long time. My wife had scampi - again delicious.... The staff are super attentive... I highly recommend The Spring Gardens if you are ever in the area.

Great restaurant . The best steak I have had in a long time.... Well worth the visit

Stayed over in motorhome and had meal here. The food was 1 st class. Would highly recommend the rump steak and sticky toffee pudding. Partner had butterfly chicken burger which was just as good . 10 out of 10. Also the table service from Zara was fantastic . One absolute diamond. Very friendly ,bubbly and most welcoming. Would highly recommend. We will be back !

Great service food was amazing! Lovely gardens at the back of the pub great for kids & dogs to play, excellent staff service in all a lovely place too visit

Lovely place to eat in a great location, service was excellent and food delicious, especially the fire fries! Compliments to the chef.

Amazing food . Had the turkey roast dinner . 5* food . Cooked to perfection . Efficient and friendly staff . Definitely will return.

Warm, friendly welcome from staff and wholesome, tasty food. Even the dog was catered for

Very friendly staff. Fantastic ales

Great value Sunday Roast. Very friendly and attentive staff.

5* beautiful good and amazing service. The sharing board Sunday lunch was 10/10, will be back very soon!

Amazing Sunday dinner and lovely staff

The spring gardens has a lovely outdoor area, lots of grass for the kids to run. The food is gorgeous and they do delicious Sunday roasts all reasonably priced. Very friendly staff, special mention to Zara who works really hard behind the bar and is always ready for a chat and makes young and old feel welcome. Will be back there soon.

We had been for a lovely walk in the area and decided to call in for something to eat and drink. The food was amazing and all freshly cooked. The girls behind the bar and waitress were very attentive and couldn't do enough for us....

What an amazing pub and eatery! Been in a few times,the new chef has some tricks up his sleeves , had the steak burger and my girlfriend had the lasagne, probably the least daring choice on the menu and still blew us away! 100% recommend...

What an amazing pub and eatery! Been in a few times,the new chef has some tricks up his sleeves , had the steak burger and my girlfriend had the lasagne, probably the least daring choice on the menu and still blew us away! 100% recommend eating here, stayed for a few hours afterwards for drinks too! Staff were brilliant too! Highly recommend!

Had a Mother's Day Sunday lunch with our family - service and food great. Will definitely visit again.

The Sunday Dinners here are a thing of legend. The usual meats Beef, Lamb and Turkey with Roast and boiled mashed potatoes supported by mashed carrots, parsnips and broccolli. Finally cauliflower cheese. There are "house beers" and guest ales rotated weekly . I went for Timothy Taylor's Landlord ale, beautiful. Booking is advised , as I did, as it is usually busy (I booked for4pm )

Enjoyed the new Sunday lunch menu with the family, very tasty and a good selection of meats. Comfortable and cosy, the perfect venue 🙂

Six of us had a lovely meal last night. Food was really good quality, service was great. We will be back 👍

Absolutely disgusting how you have treated the chef of 5 years dismissed him after loosing his beloved wife Shame on u after that status u put up about what a credit he was to ur establishment u should be ashamed 😡

Recently went to this pub with my family and I can say never again will I be going back very rude landlady and awful service food took almost an hour to come out and was cold when it did arrive !

What an absolute horrible thing your done to your cook knowing his pain, and have the cheek to write your sympathy I will never eat here or recommend it

What an absolute joke of a place this is!! After Jerry has just lost his beautiful wife, the mother to his gorgeous daughter he has not been allowed to grieve by this company. He has dedicated the last 4/5 years here as their chef, providing their customers with top grade home cooked meals to be SACKED for not being in work the week before and the week leading to his wife's funeral. He is entitled to compassionate leave of 3wks by law yet the manager here feels its acceptable to sack him. I sure as hell hope this place are dragged through court for unfair dismissal and hang their heads in shame. Avoid this place at all costs as they do not have any compassion for their staff. All they care about is themselves .

Rude staff! Food was sent back twice due to it coming out wrong. The price is far to much! 1.90 for a can when there 60p in shops robbing ba**ards!

I can't believe how this company can treat there loyal staff after 5 years they have sacked there chef just after his lost his wife disgusted I won't be eating here again

I come to the pub 2 days ago I won’t happy that the food come out wrong to start with then when we sent it back we was told by the staff it would come out perfect what a lie! It was freezing cold food...

Great pub, lovely staff and a cracking Sunday lunch, keep up the good work!!

Went on Sunday with the family, absolutely beautiful food and wonderful service, we were all made to feel welcome, will be coming back!

Awful pub service was bad and staff were rude made me feel uncomfortable need shutting down!!

I went yesterday and the food was disgusting and freezing cold I can honestly say I won’t be going back there in a hurry 🤮🤮

Went yesterday and the food was nasty even found a hair int will not be going again

I love this pub, and have visited several times. The food is always excellent, have had several different dishes and never been disappointed. The atmosphere is lovely and welcoming, and the huge outdoor area is amazing in the summer!

It's in Marpme Bridge, not Stockport, near Etherow Country Park. Booked for Xmas Eve dinner. Lovely locals pub with a very mixed menu, some old favorites like stroganoff, as well as current pub classics too. Well served by the staff and food was excellent. Good...

Food pretty good and a decent selection of ale. Lots of space outside that's well looked after so would be good in summer.

November 2022. Absolutely wonderful Sunday dinner. Lovely staff & good prices. We are now going to treat ourselves on a regular basis for Sunday dinner. We also went a week ago with my son & his wife, they couldn't stop talking about how lovely the Sunday dinner was. 💯 Recommend.

Had their Sunday lunch which was average as l felt the roast potatoes were definitely not the best as had been heated through,too well done,however the service was good in a good location.

We had not been to this pub for years but had a lovely lunch today. The lady who served us was very friendly. Checking out others in the area they had a more interesting menu. It is not the place for a quick lunch as...

Booked for a family meal at 4.30. Having 3 young children with us who are in bed for 7 we thought it would be plenty of time for the meal. Four meals on the menu were not available. One grandson really upset by not having...

Dined here with a large group today for lunch (nearly 30 of us!) - lovely food and flawless service. As we were such a large group we pre-ordered and they went out of their way to help out last night as well when we were having issues getting the email across. Thank you all!

Great food and great staff. They accommodated our large party with a smile, and went beyond what we expected. So good we are thinking of making it a part of our annual reunion weekend

The food is amazing! The service is very slow, food wait was ages. The place is freezing cold so make sure you ware something warm I had a blouse on and was shivering I'm a person who runs hot.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Service with a smile.

Had a nice afternoon, great staff who went out of their way to look after you. Nice vegan steak with all the trimmings, food was piping hot and good portion sizes. Good atmosphere and would recommend.

Food is of an excellent standard, I’ve been to London restaurants and gastro pubs that don’t match the quality of food you get from Spring Gardens. We’ve been here numerous times and every time it’s been spot on. Sunday roast- Quality and quantity (rare to find I think for a roast!) but they nail it. Every bit of veg is served you don’t have to buy extras including cauliflower cheese! The meat is always cooked perfectly and the best roast potatoes and gravy. Every bit of food on the roast tastes great. Had a roast from here 4 times! The other food is amazing too, I’ve had a standard beef burger and that’s homemade and lovely but the other usual pub grub meals like hunters chicken and beef wellington is done so differently the chef has put his own spin on them which is so nice to have something different that tastes even better! Food is 10/10 for sure. Staff are always so lovely and kind. Really thoughtful and attentive, friendly and approachable. Dog friendly too! Nice atmosphere and massive beer garden! All round great pub 😊

Great meal, great friendly service.

Highly recommended place to eat and have a nice relaxing time with the family. Jerry the in-house chef was superb and made sure we were well looked after with some top notch food and service. The pub itself provides ample parking in a lovely location with plenty of space outside to let the kids have a safe run about and they also do functions offering the use of a very large marquee, but I would check on that as it may well have been a temporary fixture. 10/10 and a pleasant surprise to go out and not have a single complaint about anything so well done 👏👏👏

Had an afternoon tea here, unfortunately it did not meet my expectation as the cakes were shop bought and was cheap which we ended up wasted. The cups were dusty and I had to wipe it with napkin. The reason for a 2 star is because the staff were great!

Many years since we've been to this pub but food Sunday dinner was lovely.Told it would be 30mins but it came in 20mins and it was lovely. I had lamb and my partner had beef.Both very good.

Oh what a fantastic trip out! Discovered the spring gardens at Marple bridge today and what a lovely meal we had in the sun. I would recommend it 100%!! The staff were so lovely and helpful. The food was great and didn’t have to wait...

Good food, pool room, large bear garden and car park

This was our halfway halt on a good walk around Werneth Low, Compstall and Marple. We all enjoyed the food - beef, fish, cheese and onion pie (and sausages for our dog). Bit of a wait, but well worth it. Probably a little more expensive...

I came here with a friend for some tea the other week. The food is of a similar quality to that of Weatherspoons, it felt microwaved and the salad tasted old. The staff looked miserable and often gathered behind the bar to gossip. It looks...

Great Sunday Lunch and dog friendly!

Massive thanks to all the girls, staff, and Jerry the chef! At the spring gardens Had a last minute arranged 50th birthday meal, and from the start was looked after superbly nothing was too much trouble for the kind friendly staff. Great choice of drinks at good prices, and the food and choice of meals was the very best we have had for a long time! Jerry pulled out all the stops to give 100% great food.,beautifully presented. So glad we went and will be definitely going there again! Thanks again! Ps also very dog friendly place too!

Nice pub, good selection of drinks and nice food. Staff are lovely too

Just had a roast beef Sunday dinner and it was amazing so tasty and the beef was perfect, definitely will be going back for Sunday lunch again.

Saw Samantha's post that spring gardens allows motorhomes stop overs we were not dissapointed warm welcome cozy fire and everyone friendly. Zara worked hard and always kept up the banta We had a fabulous meal highly recommend if your passing Thanks again Martin & Wendy

Visited again Sunday in the snow. Apologies for not giving a review earlier as been here several times. Great pub restaurant, excellent interior with log fire. Staff always friendly and the food is very well presented, great value and very tasty. Will be back soon.

Fabulous freindly excellent food grate service wth a smile would recommend fab thanks guys 😁x

Lovely food and excellent friendly staff. Great pint of Timothy Taylor too!

We used this venue as a campervan stopover. Which was mostly OK. When we arrived to pitch up the parking area was pretty well at capacity due to a Bowls match, tis cleared after about 2 hours or so and we were able to pitch up. As this was free we decided to meet with my sister and partner and my son. The 5 of us had a pleasant meal in the pub which we enjoyed. I would suggest that the proprietors consider putting an outside drinking water tap and marked bins for waste recycling. I have no doubt that we shall be visiting again.

Excellent service great choice of beers and meals superb 👌

Currently staying here overnight in our Motorhome on our way to the Peak District. Absolutely stuffed after our lovely Sunday lunches - everything was piping hot and tasty😋 We emailed Sam to book our parking spot and table and she made sure we were well...

Best pub food by far! Lovely pub and friendly staff.

We had the Sunday lunch sharer a couple of weeks ago. Oh my word how good was that 🤤. The whole experience overall, the staff were bubbly bright and on the ball. The food was absolutely delicious and plenty to go at. We sat outside in the lovely open air with our dog a way from the bar. Did we feel we had to wait for service NO NOT ONE BIT as said the staff were brilliant. We will 💯 % be going back…….. In fact that’s it choice made we’re headed there today 👌🙏

One lovely place great food and atmosphere
