Unicorn in Cheshire East

Excellent pub food, in a great location and extra friendly staff. i could not recommend this place highly enough, classic pub grub, good value, hospitable hosts. great outside seating area, this place is a credit to the management team.

Lovely afternoon at a fantastic pub with my family. All the staff were warm, professional, friendly and helpful. The food was really good and the arancini were excellent. Thanks to all the team, Darren who served us and of course to the chef for the great food!

Was so looking forward to a nice Sunday lunch after reading the reviews. We waited over 50 mins so you’d think it’d be worth it! Quite disappointing- the 1st thing I noticed was the Yorkshire pudding which wasn’t cooked properly still doughy. Unfortunately, they could not offer another one to replace this. The parsnips, broccoli and peas were hard, the cauliflower cheese topping was curdled, the roasties, were like packet one’s. The only thing that was ok was the roast turkey. They did refund price of drinks, and offer a free sweet, but we declined the offer, but quite frankly, if id have got served that in Yorkshire the chef would’ve got the yorkie thrown back at him!

We love the Unicorn. It’s our favourite local where we always know that we will have a lovely relaxing meal and the food is always cooked perfectly. We came this time on a Monday night as a pre holiday treat. We ordered our favourite meals and was served by Ian and Daz who we realised were running the pub on their own that evening. You wouldn’t have known as the service was absolutely superb and the food delicious and cooked perfectly. You guys are wonderful. Thank you for a lovely night to start off our annual holiday. We will be in again very soon. Leanne, Michael and little Reggie x

Food was very nice And service by Ian was tremendous nothing to much trouble for him, thanks again Ian for a lovely meal.we will be back again soon I hope.

Lovely atmosphere inside and out, friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for you, they was so good with my 4 year old son and amazing food, lots of food to chose from on the menus, we had a lamb shank meal, mixed grill and my son had sausages off the kids menu, all came out piping hot, lovely quality and perfectly cooked it was that nice we had desserts, the sticky toffee pudding and custard was amazing, definitely be going back, Plenty of free parking spaces.

Great dinner spent with friends. Food was very taste and the steak was cooked to perfection thank you Daz the chef. Jensen and the team could not do enough for us.

Amazing service and food as always. Lovely venue and friendly team. Always go above and beyond. Thankyou I will be back.

We had a joint birthday meal here yesterday. The quality of the food was excellent and the staff were very attentive. A lovely meal all round

Service from sarah was extremely professional, the food arrived all piping hot and just how I expected, thank you Darren for perfect food💕

Called in during Quiz night, the atmosphere was fantastic. Sarah and her team were all amazing. Had great food, a few drinks. A great night all round👍

Fantastic dining area and food, also a lovely bar area for sport. Friendly team. Dean and Sarah especially looked after us. Will be returning.

We called in one teatime, had a warm welcome, had great, friendly and quick service. The food was good value for money and the puddings were 🤤 (see pic below, sticky toffee pudding and custard!) I was especially impressed with Dean (that’s the name on my receipt) he was friendly and helped me use my Blue Light app on my phone. Will deffo call again. Sam.

Absolutely awful dining experience ☹️ Firstly the pub was freezing cold with no heating/ radiator nor fire on therefore my elderly mum sat there shivering with cold. The Sunday lunch food offering was hardly edible, from frozen, tasteless and waterlogged vegetables, frozen roasts that were grey inside 🙄 extremely fatty beef, soggy Yorkshire pudding which again frozen and to top It off the whole dinner was only luke warm. The latte coffee was tasteless. The toilet had no paper which is wholly unacceptable given it was Sunday afternoon. All in all we will not be returning to this establishment and I not recommend wasting money as there are many nicer restaurants in Wilmslow.

We spent the afternoon at the Unicorn for our Sunday dinner. There were seven of us (four adults and three small children). The staff were very welcoming, courteous and accommodating. We were in a separate room from the drinkers, which was ideal for the little ones. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the pub itself is very attractive. There is a kids' menu as well as the main one. Everyone agreed that the food was delicious and very reasonably priced, and the portions were generous. Nice wine list too! It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, thanks to the delightful staff, in the dining area, on the bar, and of course in the kitchen. I would recommend this pub to anyone, unreservedly. A big thank you to everyone involved, and our compliments to the chef!

Many thanks to Dean and the staff of the Unicorn Inn Wilmslow for the excellent service and food. Also, their help locating my granddaughters lost iPods, they searched high and low for them. Thanks so much.😘

Absolutely lovely time for all the family, good food and a warming environment.... Left with a smile

Great pub for a family dinner, me and the family enjoyed our food and time here. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Excellent! First time coming here. Came with a friend and her children for the children's Pumpkin Party and what can I say excellent from start to finish. Hosted by a lovely lady called Keisha who always made sure the kids were kept busy and entertained and let the grown ups have a catch up. The children thoroughly enjoyed the food and desert and it was lovely and freshly cooked. Can't wait to see what other events this lovely pub has on, first visit but certainly won't be the last! Thankyou to all involved for today!

Very disappointing experience . We were told on arrival that everything battered was off the menu which meant 4 out of 9 of us couldn’t have our choices. The chicken strip starters were very rubbery, the humous was tasteless as was the mint gravy (think they forgot the mint!) with the lamb shank ( the meat was however nicely cooked) . The coffee machine including tea wasn’t working, the food took ages, there was a lack of cutlery and serviettes left in the centre of the table and we had to grab from other tables. The portions really varied ( lasagne was cut in slices and plonked in a dish, one person got half the size of another and only one piece of focaccia but another had two slices? ). The soup and fish cakes were apparently very nice. The brownie was a small piece of choc sponge with sauce ( overpriced) . Table for 9 celebrating a big birthday was in the bar under the tv playing football ( to be fair , I didn’t book the table so maybe the person who did had been told about the poor location) ? Overall, a disappointing experience .

Extremely poor service and to call themselves a restaurant is a joke. Booked table on line and arrived on time. Purchased drinks and asked if we wanted to order food, but two large parties had arrived earlier than their prebooked time and ordered their food and that there was a one hour waiting time on food. Tried to explain that this should not be allowed to happen, but the so called manager was not interested. Whilst we finished our drinks, we saw over half a dozen meals being taken back into to the kitchen, so it could have been a wise decision not to wait for food. If you intend to use this establishment be prepared to wait for food, maybe take a sandwich with you.

Lovely family pub, 1st visit family (including our dog) get together in this fantastic pub, great atmosphere, gorgeous beer garden with entertainment, staff were welcoming and friendly, we all really enjoyed our food. Dean&Callum were so helpful and even provided treats for our dog! We all had a great evening and will definitely return when next visiting! A very well deserved 5* all round.

We go regularly to the Unicorn and our kids love it, there are activities for them to do whilst waiting and the kids menu offers a great variety of things reasonably priced. Good quality food and a friendly atmosphere- would recommend!

This is a great pub serving classic pub grub with friendly and attentive staff and the quality of the food is great.

We visit this pub semi-regularly for the quiz. The food is good and the service is attentive. The first time we visited, they'd run out of the Chocolate Fondant dessert, but otherwise they've always had what we want. The ale selection is good too.

Called in on way to pick up family from the airport, lovely food, Callum and John very welcoming. Very convenient for the airport too!!

Visited the Unicorn for pub quiz Tuesday. Quiz host was fun , welcoming and entertaining We had a nice meal, good value. The staff were fab. Very rare to be able to say this these days. Callum, John and Mia were friendly and attentive. Great customer service at the bar and in the restaurant. Well worth a visit

Lovely local pub with really friendly staff - shout out to John and Callum who didn’t mock us too much when one of us ordered mash with a side of garlic bread! Really welcoming - makes you feel comfortable. I had the confit duck - absolutely delicious - compliments to the chef! This is a regular stop for us and we enjoy it every time.

Visited as a family of 10 so reserved a table and also pre booked roasts as it was a Sunday. We had the chicken sharing platter for starter (along with a few other bits) and it was really good and good value, the mains of fish, scampi and lamb shank were also very good however unfortunately the roast were disappointing. The Yorkshire puddings were rock hard and unable to be cut with a knife and the stuffing was very doughy/stodgy. The puddings were all very good, and I think between us we ordered most of them. We were asked to order drinks at there bar as they were short staffed which wasn’t an issue at all, the staff were really lovely and they always helped bring the drinks to the table once ordered. We were in a quieter part of the pub which suited us as we had three generations of family, and being on a large table can make it hard to hear conversations if I’m a loud area. The bill was very reasonable for both food and drinks. I would like to think that the issue with the roasts was a one off and it wouldn’t put us off returning but maybe ordering something different. Overall a very pleasant family meal out.

Another lovely meal in this fantastic local pub. Great food, very good value for money and also delicious! As ever with hospitality venues it’s the people who work here who really make the place and are the reason we return again and again! Thanks in...

Eat here regularly and the food is always excellent and the staff are amazing. They always go above and beyond in helpfulness and service, especially as I am often with an elderly and immobile relation.

During July 2023 we brought 2 Seniors Groups from Bramhall for a Seniors lunch. Very good value and good food . The dining room was perfect as some of the Seniors finds stairs difficult . We could walk straight in and again no stairs to...

Arrived for lunch and they had no salad (on the menu but they had run out). It’s summer for goodness sake. Then for dessert I wanted something healthy and the kids menu had strawberry and banana skewers (nothing comparable on adult menu) but kitchen refused...

Monthly tribute acts; amazing all round. We have been going for nearly a year. Every time the staff are friendly, efficient and thorough. Hannah is always upbeat and there for customer needs. John is a hands on landlord and leads his team by example. Kitchen...

Second time we’ve been here in recent weeks and it definitely won’t be our last It’s our but on a few occasions BEFORE current management we’ve walked out in fear and disgust It’s now changed unrecognisably in the past 12 months…it’s friendly, welcoming, well presented,...

We had a family meal at the unicorn and the food was lovely. Staff were very accommodating and made us all feel welcome. Hannah the assistant manager went over and beyond when she rocked our baby to sleep whilst we ate our dinner. Thank you...

Great pub in a great location- lovely inside and a fantastic garden area- really good standards of food and service and always coming up with new ideas- lots of live entertainment and tribute acts make this a great way to spend an afternoon or evening....

The Unicorn pub has improved greatly, if you haven’t paid a visit recently you are missing a trick. Easy to park, welcoming staff and warm cosy atmosphere, perfect for a mid-week meal or quick drink or two to take a refreshing break if you are...

Came here on Tuesday (24th) at lunchtime with my husband and daughter. We had a chicken sharer between the 3 of us for a starter which was plenty. Mains was a curry, a lasagne and a gammon. Everything was lovely, so compliments to the chef....

We have eaten at The Unicorn on several occasions and never had a bad experience. Definitely better than Pub Grub as the menu is varied and offers a range of dishes to suit most tastes and preferences. Staff are all very helpful and friendly accommodating...

Great value lunchtime menu. Food was hot fresh and arrived in a very reasonable amount of time. Good for families and really friendly team. Will definitely be visiting again would recommend.

Met up with a friend for lunch and were very disappointed with the food. The service was friendly and efficient though. My friend's sandwich was uninspiring and the avocado had obviously been cut a while as it had started to discolour. I had the steak...

Took my 87 year old Mum here for a meal. Really friendly staff. Couldn’t be more helpful! Plan to come back here in two weeks, with our large family, to celebrate her 88th Birthday. Thank you!

So after another restaurant had a gas leak and another one couldn't accommodate 7 ppl walk ins we ended up at the unicorn. Can't thanks the staff enough despite being busy they couldn't look after us enough and with 3 young children they were very...

Visited today with family. The menu has lots of variety and the quality of the food is very good. The pub itself is spacious and the staff are very helpful. A very positive experience.

Visited on a Sunday as we were thinking of booking for Christmas. We sat at a table (that hadn’t been cleaned) for 20 mins without any member of staff interested in serving us…even a drink….there were plenty of staff walking back and fourth. By this...

Afternoon with friends from Rotary Cheadle Royal and Handy Ladies feeding the Community. Food was delightful for the price and with the entertainment a smashing time was had by all. A big thank you to all of the Staff. Deborah P

I do not normally leave reviews but I feel like Dean (bar man) and Daz (chef) need a special mention. I have come from down south to visit my mum, son and grandsons and decided to take them out for dinner. The service we received...

Great pub food and lovely atmosphere in beer garden. Service was great and felt very welcomed when we came in. Highly recommend

Popped in for lunch with the dogs, sat in the lovely beer garden for a hunters chicken toastie, rosemary fries and a pint. Service and food and prices great

We came here to celebrate the life of my mother who passed away recently. The staff were fantastic and the food excellent. We toasted mums health in large quantitys of gin, as she would have liked. The staff made a difficult day a lot easier....

We booked the Unicorn for a small gathering after my Auntie’s memorial service at Dean Row Chapel. It was the perfect location being so close to the Chapel. We were allocated a lovely private area in the Restaurant. We had a buffet, which was very...

Came out with my husband for a bit of lunch, the weather was glorious, we headed to the unicorn after a few month away and we were not disappointed, the food was lovely, the sandwiches were very good for the value, delicious, the artist was...

Chicken in sandwich was processed and undercooked. The texture was slimey and it was tasteless. I did point out to manager but noting was done and therefore I feel that they didn't really care about my experience or enjoyment of a meal at their establishment....

Called in at the Unicorn on our way home from a hospital appointment and decided to have a meal and we weren’t disappointed. Great value, lovely food, wonderful surroundings either in or outside the building. We were ably waited on by Joe who was most...

Lovley pub inside and out with a nice pint and friendly staff. Will definitely be visiting again soon

Nice pub, lovely scenery if you are sat out in the beer garden (which has an undercover area). Food is well presented and reasonably priced. They cater for our four legged friends as well

Liam always most welcoming and helpful Food good and tasty, value for money A variety of real ales always on tap and looked after. Clean and warm environment

Called in for a drink in the sunshine. The beer garden is great lovely outdoor space with a undercover area for the inevitable British weather.

Such a nice place to go to for a quick drink, but if you want to eat its not the place for you, you will wait for hours !!

I went with my family for dinner last week and I can’t say enough about the food and the servers were absolutely lovely I would definitely go again :)

Came in with my kids for food and the service was excellent. The staff made a fuss with my children, constantly checking in and making sure we were okay and didn’t need anything. Really enjoyable and will be back

Used to visit here regularly when living nearby. Called in last weekend when in area and was very disappointed. Place empty no tvs on and atmosphere like a morgue. Doubt whether we will be returning.

Excellent service was fast and the food was amazing, would definitely recommend to others. Felt very welcome and couldn’t fault the service!

Always made to feel welcome here. Good food, good service and good prices. When the fires roaring away it makes it feel realy cosy. Came for Sunday lunch this time. no complaints at all, it was first class. There is one area of the pub...

Staff were very welcoming will definitely be coming back that’s for sure!!! Food was great drinks was great and so was the service

What an amazing visit this was! The staff were amazing and the food was perfect. I highly recommend this pub. I go no where else but this place. Relaxed and a good atmosphere!

Used to be a top Cheshire pub. Now, more life in a morgue. Been in twice recently for a drink. Not going back. Benches were broken and toilets were closed. Hoped to have something to eat but kitchen was closed. Made to feel as welcome...

Came in and we were welcomed and seated immediately. The staff made a fuss of our children, the food was delicious and served to us quickly, a 10/10 experience. Will definitely be coming back!

Great food great prices and staff were amazing. I will be returning after christmas. Would like to say shelby was great and is an absolute credit to the team.

Returned for another meal with friends. Hunters chicken was beautiful and the staff were so friendly. Thank you greene king

Called in for lunch with family. Not the best visit I have to say. They were missing a lot of key ingredients which reduced the options a fair bit. Main disappointment was no cheese which throws a burger straight out of the window. Went for...

We really enjoyed our family meal here. There was a wait on food but the staff were so helpful. Food was hot and tasty and desserts were lush. Thank you again for the amazing service

Visited today for a Sunday roast. Food was beautiful and staff were very kind and polite. Will visit again before Christmas

Went here for an early evening meal. Service and meal were excellent. A nice friendly pub and made to feel really welcome.

Called and sat outside for a couple of drinks, lovely spot outside, catching the last of the sun. Excellent service, good pub

Dismal food. Cold / lukewarm/ not microwaved enough / careless presentation. Then tipped the wink by a member of staff that “chef’s away on holiday”. Right-ho then. Just a negative vibe in the whole place. Seemed a bit sad and neglected. Sticky carpets, smelly toilets....

On Thursday the 21st my partner and I decided to venture out for a change from our locals in Cheadle to the Unicorn in Wilmslow for something to eat and a drink, the pub was pretty quiet which I understand why now, there was only...

Came today with my dad husband and son and the staff was lovely as soon as we walked through the door. The food tasted amazing! I have booked for Christmas Day but will definitely be coming back before then!
