The white lion in Cheshire East

Went into the White Lion for the first time on Sunday night for the karaoke. It was amazing. Nigel the DJ was outstanding. The locals made me feel very welcome. Great pub and I'll definitely be returning.

We was in Macclesfield visiting family and I had to leave a review, such a lovely welcoming atmosphere and all the staff we spoke to were lovely but Lauren in particular took the time to get to know everyone in our group!! Hope to visit again soon!! Service:

Great town centre Pub, lots of entertainment and lovely bar staff. New darts boards and pool table in great condition.

Absolutely love this place since in recent months Lauren the girl behind the bar not sure of her position who works there is lovely always makes you feel welcome and is a great character which brings a fantastic atmosphere great pub now in my opinion and in great hands we'll done guys keep up the good work !!!!!

Great pub! Lauren is always so happy and chatty

The staff are absolutely amazing ! Me and my friends had a blast of a time. Amazing drinks and amazing prices! Couldn’t ask for anything more !

Great pub and fantastic team. We held my partners celebration of life there and we were really well looked after by Jack and his team. It's a great place for a quiet drink mid week and fun at weekends with music and karaoke. Give it a try, x .

It's ok for a quick pint if you're passing.

Love the White Lion. Staff and Management are friendly and welcoming. There is a huge selection of drinks and the prices and promotional deals are always reasonable. The food is delicious. The pub has a great look and great atmosphere. Always something on at weekend. 😃

Friendly and approachable staff is what every customer wants when visiting a local pub and that’s exactly what you get at the white lion! Emma goes above and beyond to make sure customers have an enjoyable experience. Cosy atmosphere in the winter months with a beautiful lit fire and some tasty food to go with it. Beers are served perfectly in this lovely clean pub :)

Love the white lion. Always look forward to a pleasant face. Especially Emma McFadden. Great service, great company and the Stella's not bad either. The flat pizzas are to die fo too 💯 it's a 10 from me.

Working out of town, found a local boozer I like with a nice and friendly barmaid Emma, lovely and pleasant and nothings a problem, good music and will put what you want on tv. Good place to wind down after work.

First time I've been but Emma made it feel like home

probably one of the best pubs in macc, their food is so good and made fresh, it’s always busy and has an amazing atmosphere. the events they put on are always very good and family friendly. staff are really welcoming and overall one of my favourite pubs to go to!!

A Fantastic Experience at The White Lion Pub! The White Lion Pub is a true treasure!

A Wonderful Experience at The White Lion Pub! I recently visited The White Lion Pub, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The staff were attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely outstanding—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. It’s clear that a lot of care and attention goes into their menu, and the presentation was just as impressive as the taste. The selection of drinks was equally delightful, offering something for everyone. The pub itself is beautifully maintained, with a cozy yet stylish décor that’s perfect for any occasion, whether you’re catching up with friends, enjoying a family meal, or simply popping in for a quiet drink. Thank you to The White Lion team for such a memorable visit. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Dropped in on a Saturday afternoon to watch the England v New Zealand game. Plenty of TV viewing areas and the atmosphere in the pub was great although we were the only ones watching. Plenty of groups of friends having a great afternoon in a great English pub that served great, well kept, beer.

Dirty filthy toilets wash your hands in filthy sink no paper towels heater on wall not working what a dump used to be a great pub that’s now history What a shame

Best atmosphere and best place to go for karaoke in Macclesfield!

Brilliant atmosphere bar staff are very friendly love going in always have a good laugh in this place 😀

Thanks great service no predators I feel safe.

Someone told us (big group of lads) not to go in here.. what a load of rubbish! The staff were lovely, the people were lovely and we had a great time in here! Great atmosphere

MUST VIST PUB. My friends and I are working in the local area and decided to call in for a pint and ended up leavening 4 hours later whith smiles on our faces. Fantastic funny and very friendly staff with good pint and a good juke box. Will definitely be coming back at some point .

Came here for work, pleasant little place with a really nice beer garden... Live sports and pool table. Landlord intends to re-open the outside bar ready for the hot weather and live games... ⚽️⚽️⚽️ Parking is limited to the carpark just a short walk up the road.

Fruit machine stole our money and manager never called us back as promised.

Always avoided it due to a reputation it has for loutish behaviour, that may still be the case in the night but I visited in the day, no real ales on, just keg but good offers on bottled beer and decent banter, no cause to complain and will return! Might hold out a bit before I do a night visit though!

Lovely up to date traditional public house, great beers and fantastic atmosphere.

Credit to the landlords Kyle and Jack, one of the most friendly pubs in Macclesfield. The staff is always making sure that every visit is great experience.

Lovely pub, friendly staff, lots going on. Value for money. Highly recommend

The staff are friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is fun.

Food was 5 star. Really delish. Staff were friendly and attentive. Really good atmosphere in the pub. Can’t wait to visit again.

There was four of us eating and the burgers were so juicy and came out looking fresh, the staff are really friendly and made everyone feel welcome. The pub makes everyone welcome. We sat by the open fire and it was exactly what we needed as it’s -1!

great service, food is absolutely amazing 🤤 lots of different drinks choice 110% recommend ❤️

The staff was amazing always doing the most for the customers we was some of the first to eat an the food was amazing and service was even better

Great food, great staff and brilliant atmosphere

10/11/23: not a great choice of craft beer/craft ale, but the pub staff were friendly enough.

Jamie is amazing what an amazing night thanks for a good time

Great band Outer limits on Sat 5th August. Great vocalist, musicians and variety of music had us dancing all night. Best night out in ages. Please book again

I used to avoid this pub but have given it another try under the new management and its changed so much, great atmosphere and a friendly welcome for all! I will definitely be back! Well done to Kyle, Jack and the team for all their hard work and investment, it really does show!

What a great pub, has a brilliant atmosphere with great staff and welcoming owners. Has a lovely beer garden to enjoy your food and drinks. What a lovely pub and so glad I stumbled across it. Will be visiting regularly.

Met new owner. Lovely man lovely pub

Pleasant lively pub when I was there a singer was entertaining t the punters and the bar staff where busy

Great atmosphere watching the football

Nice cosy pub, great food and great staff

If you love your pets, avoid this place

Nice place, massive beer garden out the back plus darts and pool table

Not my kind of place.. clean and tidy. Wine was good. More of a blokes pub. Bit dark.

Not a family pub but OK for a pub crawl.

Great bang tidy bar...and the locals were really nice and friendly! Good drink prices too and food was decent

Fab food great prices good atmosphere attentive staff

Good pub good atmosphere friendly staff

I thought it would be a lovely meal here with my family, husband and two kids. When we arrived here my daughter who's only 8, slipped on grease at the door. This resulted in her breaking her toe. The place is disgustingly dirty. However, we gave it the benefit of the doubt. As we sat down, ordered pizzas, the plates came dirty. almost as if we were served by a homeless person who hasn't showered in a while. Then my husband ordered a steak, asked for it medium rare, and gave us practically a cow on a plate. was hardly cooked and could finish the meal. my vegetarian, broken toed daughter was so upset to practically hear my husband steak moo. Will not be returning, my daughters now in counselling. 1/5 stars.

Have no idea. Was around the corner. But if you are a real ale fan. This is not the pub to visit. T bars only. Lager etc. T.V sports yes

Awful customers, awful tasting lager! Awful attitude of door staff and bar staff...awful

A tremendous pub to sit and chat, clean, friendly staff and good beer. It would be a five if not for the intrusive TV screens with some interminable sport to distract ones train of thought.

Good pub for a drink whilst shopping

Good darts area floor still sticky though 🙈

Staff are very friendly and always very chatty and the food is lovely would highly recommend to all.

Decent night. Foods average but makes a good laugh

Well, I get a tip on White Lion from my coleague. I dont prefer Stella, but this Stella is just nice, very nice. And the Lion is really lovely bar. I sip just one before cinema, but I get back after and I will order&try some meal..than I give probably 5stars..;-)

Good pub. Decent atmosphere. Good for sports. Decent arrangement of drinks.

Great staff.. comfortable surroundings..good prices

Good service and good football coverage

Great beer garden very welcoming pub polite service.

Cracking little pub, way better than the Wetherspoons down the road. Nice atmosphere in there. Just felt they should of had more foresight for extra bar staff but still an enjoyable visit and the bouncer was a nice guy with good banter

Ok it will get better with a little help from customers treating the staff good. So 5 stars with a little staff training won't hurt and conduct both way.

Not really my type of place, just called in briefly to meet someone. Dodgy people in here, need to watch your back here

Brilliant staff, selection, atmosphere & beer garden

I had heard that the White Lionel was supposed to be a bit dodgy!Far from it.We were treated very well great service and a happy mixed clientele.

A meeting place with good service for drinks, but slow for food.

Good atomesphere, cheap drinks, food is great
