Weaver macclesfield in Cheshire East

We held a joint 60/80 party here and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff are brilliant and extremely helpful from all correspondence to the night. We had about 30 ppl for a small do and they were brilliant letting us come earlier even though half of our party did end up staying to the late! The food was exceptional the steak ale pie was devine and had our guests talking about it for weeks after! Compliments to the chef! Lovely party area, when decorated with balloons and banners it was a really good atmosphere, the bar were happy to play music on Spotify all night. Really spacious and just a really lovely evening. Great hospitality. Deffo worth considering for a function.

Second time we have been recently, this time for Sunday lunch. Absolutely fantastic, food took a little while from ordering.....simply because it was cooked fresh. Generous portion size but just delicious. One of the best pub lunches I've ever had. Had the 3 meat, brisket, gammon and chicken, all 3 were succulent, the veg cooked to perfection. Don't forget to put your car reg in the machine. Electric car charging in the adjacent car park is an instavolt so ideal place to eat while charging the car.

Great food, great service and lovely pub. Very reasonably priced, service was excellent and portions a good size Would definitely recommend and we will be returning for sure

The weaver is the best freshly prepared food in Macclesfield. The chef is great. The bar staff try their best Alison and Gary run the pub. Alison is a fantastic front of house in the restaurant. The food is to die for. People don't realise how nice the food is. We like to eat out alot but like I say this place is definitely the best in Macclesfield!!! Its a hidden gem!!! Pls visit ignore the pub area you can hide away and enjoy fresh home made food 😋

Beware of car parking! We visited for the 4th time early in July, on our previous visit we were told by staff to make sure we parked only in the pub car park and not to use the shopping centre car park which is managed by one of those dreadful management companies. We arrived and were shown to our table and served drinks and food at the table - we did not visit the bar at all. The pub seems so quiet at lunchtime that you would have thought our bill of £81.65 would be welcome. A couple of days ago we received a penalty charge notice for £60 - I spoke to the pub and was told that they had started using the management company to control the car park. They said that there was nothing they could do and also that it was not their responsibility to point out to customers that the parking was now monitored.. Such a shame as we won’t be returning. Other visitors please beware! Back to the Flowerpot for us…..

Had a really nice meal in this pub yesterday. All COVID regulations covered very well. The only problem was one particular young man shouting and swearing at the top of his voice. Although quite a few people were there to watch the football match on the tv he was the only one that really annoying. Please sort this out. It puts people off going in to eat.

We called in on Sunday for some lunch and had a very enjoyable meal which looked good on the plate and was hot and fresh. The week before we had the same meal more or less at the Flower Pot and the meal at The Weaver’s was far superior and £3 each cheaper, we shall be definitely going back for another meal. Our complements to the chef.

I cannot fault the Food or Service but am disappointed with the management.A careful warning to anyone visiting in a car we recently visited on a Saturday evening and as on all our previous visits parked on the Thornton Square car park Which unbeknown to us had been taken over by a company called Smart Parking?To our surprise some three weeks later we received a parking fine from them for £60.00 has we had over stayed the allotted parking time by 11 minutes if you were not using the Square facilities? Which we were!! I appealed against this fine which they rejected even though I sent them a copy of the receipt from the Weavers. I rang the Weavers and spoke to the lady Manager who explained the Weavers was not part of the Square and had it's own car park at the rear? How it can not be part of the Square when its address quite clearly states 11 Thornton Square????She also said the owner of the Square had had the parking restrictions put on to stop people from school parking there, surely not at 7.30pm on a Saturday night.I would have thought that knowing Patrons could be booked for parking in the Square the Weavers could have put some warning signs up to inform their customers regarding this after all not all their customers are locals? We for one will not be attending here again when we are visiting Macclesfield. Very disappointed about this what was a nice night has been ruined. BE CAREFUL.

Looking for a change of scenery after becoming a regular visitor to the new Flowerpot and finding that the Weaver has changed it's layout.Name and number taken for Covid and also temperature taken, a first for me outside of the dentist.Weekday afternoon pint and really busy in the lounge area, that used to be the dining room. This is a much better use of space as it was always over busy on the other side of the bar and never full in the dining room. Large group of after work locals congregating around the pool table; friendly enough but if scruffs and bad language offend then it's not for you.Beer was excellent as per last visit and very reasonably priced.Definitely be back in the near future.

First visit on speck. My wife had the chicken curry and really enjoyed it for just a tenner. I wasnt to hungry so just had the soup. The soup was very nice, but was served in the smallest soup bowl i have ever seen. Three spoon fulls and it was all gone. Very covid freindly with temperture checks on entry.

Just home from having lunch here,could not have been better than the best 5 star we have dined in. Massive congrats Gary Alison,staff and chefs.....Whoop 🕉🕉🕉😁😁😁😁

i have taken my family to this restaurant on numerous occasions and every time the food and service have been 5*. Always a warm welcome upon entering and the staff go out of their way to make my children feel welcome. The food is advertised as home made and when it arrives it certainly tastes it. The salmon is exceptional.

Great friendly pub, nice bar staff and owners, plenty of drinks selection, shows live sport of all variety and great food! Not a bad word to say about it

Just been for lunch with a family friend. Warm welcome from the friendly staff, good choice on the menu and the food was excellent.

We visited as a couple on Saturday evening. The staff are very warm and friendly, the place was a little noisy but that has to be expected with foootball being shown in the lounge bar, perhaps the doors to the dining area could have been closed? Service was excellent, my food was great, we had a minor problem with my wifes meal in that the pastry on her pie was over done, but when we mentioned it to the manager it was dealt with immediatly and to our satisfaction. Would highly recommend giving this place a try, we have been a few time and the food and service has been excellent with nice friendly staff.

Took my neighbour for a beer and discovered he'd been here many years ago. He was very impressed with how the place had changed, he barely recognised it.Busy in the bar, they have a few big screens and there was some footy on. There was also a group celebrating a birthday and it was quite lively.I plumped for the Exmoor Gold, this is a great brewery and I thoroughly enjoyed my two pints.We sat in the restaurant as there was nobody in there and the bar was a bit noisy. The room is nicely decorated and there's a big menu.WiFi is The Cloud but talking to regulars it's very hard to get hold of as I found out.Friendly staff, this pub is high up on the Macc list going forward.

We booked the main bar for a private birthday party. We started planning a few moths ago and Alison and Gary we very keen to help us and get the details right for the night. On the day they set out the room, organised the balloons and had the sound system set up for our own Spotify play list. We had the choice of buffet, sandwiches, curry or chilli with chips and rice etc. We opted for the hot food and were not disappointed in terms of quality or quantity. There were plenty of bar staff on an waiting times for drinks was minimal. Above all Gary and Alison were perfect hosts, staying close all night and making sure everything ran to plan. We had a great night and they were key to making it happen. Would recommend for anyone that wants a private room party.

Went with guest from Norway. Excellent Christmas meal with nice wine at a very reasonable cost. Served with good humour and an eagerness to please. Will definitely return.

First visit here and the Weaver has plenty to offer.Situated on a square with plenty of parking outside, presume free but it was evening so not sure.We entered the public bar and the football was about to start, some excellent screens. Most people appeared to be watching from the bar, appeared to be a narrow area so I'm not sure if there were many seats to watch from.Great to see Directors ale and we ordered a couple of pints. Sat in the lounge area for a chat, a big area with plenty of tables and just 2 other occupants.Enjoyable evening, definitely call in again.

Treat for wife before big open heart operation. As before comfortable neat and tidy. Attentive landlord. Food excellent and reasonably priced. My wife had steak and I had Texas Ribs. No complaints at all.Present tenants have spent a great deal overhauling what I understand to have been a rather nondescript pub and it is now very acceptable. Its position in an estate may count against it and you may feel it lacks a certain character but it is a very pleasant place to eat top end pub food in a calm atmosphere. Music was 1960s and quiet. Don't expect a choice of wines. - it is a pub - but there are several beers available.They do have live football but not in the restaurant part. It does mean I can watch my beloved Leicester City at times!Very satisfactory experience. We will go there again.

Came here to try the food as a treat . £5 for a kids meal and both still hungry . I had a burger and found a stray hair in it and got no apology . and then got over charged to top it off

went to the weaver for a family 50th Birthday meal the food was excellent and the price was very good, the staff were very accommodating would highly recommend this pub and hope to go back soon to try the Sunday lunch.

Been here a couple of times now absolutely lovely really nice steak and ale pie really enjoyed it The place was really clean and tidy friendly atmosphere will recommend and will definitely be returning

What’s happened? Up from London, and no loo roll all night??? Not very good in s pub that serves food???

Visited Easter Monday. Had lovely meal. 2 of us had fish and chips and 1 had spaghetti and meatballs. Everyone enjoyed the food. Prices are good and service is excellent. Have eaten here several times as it's our local and have never had a bad meal.

Tough one this, because I’ve been to this pub when it was a drinking mans pub and have seen it transform in to a destination pub for good beer, food and sport.

We were very well looked after today for our family meal. We were a large group but the service was efficient and friendly. Everybody enjoyed their food and it was good value for money. I would definitely recommend this establishment.

When ever my wife and I come to Macclesfield to see our son and daughter in law we alwyys try to get to the Weavers for a family meal. We are always greated very well by the hosts and the staffand we think that the food is always great

Great gin bar - lots of different varieties of gin (pink one is a favourite!) and always served with a smile.

Esta fue la primera vez que hemos estado en La Weaver, Thornton Square. . Nos quedamos muy impresionados con la cordial bienvenida y quedé muy impresionado con la presentación del restaurante y la decoración. . La comida era excelente y el servicio de primera clase. . Sin duda lo recomendaría a amigos y volveré de nuevo.

A party of us visited again from London, to find they keep spraying polish !! At least half a can on each table !! We were trying to enjoy are drinks , beer and wine but we were all chocking on the Polish etc, this happened last time we visited this pub , we had to leave, the tables only need a quick wipe over, but no it goes on and on cleaning when your trying to injoy your night out, perhaps it a way to get Customer's to leave early?? Apart from the over the top cleaning which it doesn't need especially when customers are there, please clean later!!!

Really nice atmosphere friendly staff and the food was great,will defiantly be coming here for food again

Nos alojamos en el Premier Inn no lejos y elegimos este sobre el siguiente pub de comentarios. No quiero ir demasiado lejos para comer después de los largos días. La primera vez que pescado y patatas fritas, que fue muy bueno. Suculentos pescados y patatas fritas crujientes empanada crujiente. La segunda vez tuvimos el asado los domingos. Este era bueno, pero no tan bueno como el pescado y patatas fritas, me gustan las patatas crujientes asado estas eran un poco duro. El personal era muy amable y el servicio era excelente y los precios son una buena relación calidad-precio. Nos alegramos de tener esta opción no muy lejos de donde estábamos.

Todos disfrutamos realmente nuestra entrantes y platos principales. Eran de buena proporción muy bien preparada y presentada. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos por Gary y Alison junto a su personal que hemos visto en nuestra anterior visita. Volveremos y espero que la próxima vez probar algo del menú en el desierto. Muy buena relación calidad-precio, un gran lugar para comer algo escondida en Macclesfield que sirve auténtica comida recién cocinada.

Vacío, sin ambiente. Casera necesita aprender a sonreír y fingir ser ella en realidad le gusta su trabajo así miserables. La comida era muy básica y porciones pequeñas. Pedí pescado y patatas fritas. El pescado era de unos 1 cm de grosor y pantalla! Parecía...

Un grupo de 8 de nosotros conocimos para el almuerzo, la cena tradicional de navidad 6, pero 2 debido a condiciones médicas necesitan dietas especiales. Eso no fue un problema para los propietarios que hicieron todo lo posible para acomodarlos/us. Yo estaba muy impresionado por el cuidado que se tomaron para ellos y la presentación de su comida, nos hicieron aquellos dos señoras sentir valorado y querido, no como en muchos casos anteriores una molestia. Muchas gracias por tu amabilidad y el esfuerzo que usted hizo, no apreciarlo. Mi cena de navidad también era delicioso y yo difundimos la palabra y elogió el Weaver a otros amigos. Se merecen hacer bien!

Nos quedamos gratamente sorprendidos por la calidad del personal, la comida y el servicio. Disfrutamos de nuestra comida y sin duda volveremos. Todo el mundo era muy atento y cuidado. La comida era estupenda relación calidad-precio y de buena calidad.

We called at the Weavers mid day for a quick snack there was a reasonable selection to choice from the food was very good when it came but the service was very slow no complaints about the price

We visited the pub for a quick lunch today and felt the need to share our experience with others .... Great food at very reasonable prices - very friendly hosts, creating a nice atmosphere in a very clean and well presented pub ... strongly recommended .

Called in for lunch,fantastic choice on the menu.The prices are very good either for the lite bites or full menu.Service was fast and the food was very hot which is how I like food served.Looking forward to returning to try the full menu as we only had a hot sandwich this time.

Heard a few reviews about this place so decided to give it a go. Very good value for money! The lady who served us was very friendly and helpful. Only fault was that the food was very slow at being served, could do with abit more staff. However the good was lovely. Will be visiting again

The Weaver is a friendly pub which serves great value food, Gary & Alison have turned the pub round from a gloomy old fashion 1970's pub into a clean, fresh & modern pub/restaurant. On my last visit I had the sizzling steak fajitas which was served quickly, piping hot & very tasty. I would recommend the Weaver to anyone either for a great meal or just for a friendly night out.

Gary and his family have produced a sparkling new menu to tittilate every taste bud, I started with the fish combo and continued with sizzling steak fajitas, a very tasty meal served in a very tasty environment. I finished my meal with coffee on the terrace. Well worth going and your wallet will appreciate the bill.

This is a very ordinary looking pub on the corner of a small retail park. We have been about half a dozen times with friends or family members and not had any disappointments. The staff are both friendly and welcoming and the ambience comfortable and relaxing. We’ve enjoyed a dozen or so different selections from the menu which contains many pub favourites. The general consensus is that all have been good (a word of caution - the Piri Piri Chicken, described as hot and spicy on the menu is HOT and spicy with the landlord did warn us) and the chips excellent. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food presented.

A fantastic venue with fantastic hosts. The room is set out well, we hadhot food a hotpot and chilli for 50 family and friends. Everybody loved the food. Gary and Alison could not do enough for us.

Since Gary and Alison took over the Weaver it is now a warm and friendly place to visit, and the food is good and great value for money too.The staff are really helpful and take your order at the table, both drinks and food. There is a large choice of pub classics along with a specials board. On our last visit my wife and I both had the pie, really tasty and lots of meat in it. I also thoroughly recommend the Sunday lunch.Keep up the good work all.

Having visited the Weaver before we decided to try a Sunday roast dinner, we both decided to forgo a starter has we had heard the portions were on the generous side and we weren't disappointed as 2 plates of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding accompanied by freshly cooked steaming vegetables and gravy. Sometime later having ravenously eaten our fill, we finished our meal with apple pie with a generous helping of custard and a delicious cup of coffee. If you're in the area please give it a try it's well worth it.

we turned up here at 4.30 on a thursday afternoon with a party of 10, was told food not available till 5pm, but we could pre order. All food came out together and hot. no complaint's from anyone, the landlord was very accommodating to us. many thanks

Love the food at the weavers , friendly staff , land lord and landlady are lovely bubbly and friendly too, a nice atmosphere , they always go that extra mile for you , nothings too much trouble , please come and see for yourself, you won't be disappointed

Dined as part of a birthday celebration , a group of 10. Food was awful, greasy, over cooked, lacking colour and imagination. Very limited choice for desserts.SorryBeen here before and food was better, sadly not this time

Been a few times find the food is alway's very good alway's hot nothing reheated the staff and management are very helpful and friendly and the pub is very clean. If you have'nt been give it a try

This was the first time I had visited The Weaver and didn't even know it was there as it was located alongside a large housing estate. It seems popular with people just out for a drink and those wanting a meal as well. We reserved our table for a group of us on a busy Friday night and it was worth it. The service is friendly and welcoming although we had to wait a little for our courses. I would say this is typical pub grub but very reasonably priced. The menu isn't huge but there is a 'specials' board with more choices. I found my bruschetta a little odd as it came with the mozzarella cheese and cold tomato in slices alongside some small pieces of plain lightly toasted bread. It was OK though. My spicy bean burger with salad was fine and the accompanying bowl of chips too large to finish. Others said the lasagne and fish and chips were tasty. Everything seemed to go down well but we were a group of friends meeting up and that alone added to the general ambience.

We had a Sunday roast, and apple crumble, delicious. The staff are all friendly and the service was very good. No complaints at all.

Visited in August a little disappointed, although it was not very busy had a long wait for the food and when it did arrive it was only average.

Just had an impromptu Sunday meal, the food was once again absolutely fantastic. The steak and peppercorn sauce was so succulent and cooked to perfection. The husband had the Sunday roast and rated it as the best pub roast he has ever had. The service by Gary, Alison and the rest of the staff was once again exemplary, such a lovely, friendly welcoming establishment - we will be back soon!!

Me and my partner went out for a meal here we had starter snd main each the food was really good had bbq chicken melt still moist in side and loads of bbq sauce what nit many places do would defo recommend this to any one good customer service as well clean toilets

We reserved a table which we were advised due to the restaurants popularity.The service and food were excellent and the friendless of the staff was second to none,I would recommend a visit to the Weaver

We visited at the last minute for my birthday. Although it was a Saturday we were made very welcome and given a table. The menu is not very big but there were 'specials' for all courses. We had a very enjoyable meal, the staff and management were very pleasant and welcoming. Highly recommended and we will be visiting again soon.

Very poor, meals are tiny and cold! The children's meals are terrible very small portions, my son ordered the meatballs they was from a tin he refused to eat them, I shared my very over cooked lasagna. We waited nearly an hour half for our meals 5 adults 2 children. Only positive was the waitress who couldn't apologise enough for our wait. Would not recommend The Weaver.

Menu has recently been cut down and food portions are also smaller than last year. On our last visit the pub was very quiet (at about 7.15pm) but we had to wait 45 minutes for our food to arrive. It is only a pub we would use for convenience as the service in others in the locality is much better. On the plus side, the young waiter and waitress were very quick to bring our drinks to the table. Perhaps more kitchen staff are needed.

was freezing! Ok I know it's been mild, but the same happened a few nights later. Come on if you want custom keep us warm & comfortable & we will stay. And also stop spraying & cleaning all the time going over & over the same area over & over again! I saw a poor man nearly choke with the chemical that was being sprayed. Its not very nice when you are eating & drinking, if you look around everybody thinks the same. Clean when everyone has gone, it doesn't take that long to wipe round.

Just been to see Santa at the Weaver. What a fabulous evening. Landlords are great, staff are very very helpful. I visit every Tuesday with my daughter and grandson after his swimming lesson and they make us feel part of the family. We all love it. What a great place to be.Ann G

We arrived for Sunday lunch without a booking. There were many tables to choose from. We were able to order our meal and drinks quickly. Drinks and extra water were brought to the table by hard working waiters. We waited longer than average time expected for the meal. Three of the adults meals(all day breakfast/meat pie) were satisfactory and so was the child's. However, the Madras curry was so spicy/hot I found it inedible even though usually it is one of my favourite meals. It was not even described as a hot curry. We informed the staff but they were unable to refund as the landlord was not available.

Family friendly pub!!! That's a laugh, owner reduced my child to tears! Will NOT be recommending or buying any more drinks in this pub. If you don't want children in your "family friendly " pub, make it over 18 !!!!!

We visited the weaver for the first time on sunday 8th june as a group of five . we were greeted with a friendly smile & made to feel welcome . Tables were rearranged with ease & the atmosphere was very relaxing . Meals were ordered quickly and served with a smile , everyone enjoyed their meal & would return again soon . Im happy to recommend .

We have just been in the Weaver for dinner, it was a very enjoyable night, the food was very good, the atmosphere is very relaxing to. Lots of people with families, which is good to see, cant wait to go there in the summer. Will be back very soon. Thanks to the Weaver!

Fantastic value for money. Alison and Gary are wonderful hosts and you have 2 chefs, one who has spent time in Thailand and makes the best Thai curries and the other lends a Caribbean flavour with jerk chicken and dumplings . Spoilt for choice, always check the Specials board.

Love the place and the food, very very nice and normally nice and warm! Not at the moment, it feels like there was no heating on all day when we got there in the evening. Its February for gods sake! Please leave the heating on longer and dont spoil a great place.

After hearing good reviews about the Weaver, we booked in 13 for a 1pm Sunday Lunch to celebrate a family birthday. We had to wait an hour for the food to arrive & then it came in drips & drabs. The people who got theirs first had almost finished before the last meals arrived. The last meals were the children's who by this time were really hungry. I've never been anywhere that serves the kids meals last, they are usually the first to arrive. The beef for the Sunday lunch was really tough & chewy, the veg was cold, couldn't decide whether the mash potato was packet or actual potato.We didn't stay for desert as by 3 o'clock we had had enough. 2 of the staff were very apologetic about the wait but by then it had already spoilt the meal.So, for a good re-opening back in August, it seems the service and quality side of the business has taken a dive.Come on Weaver, you CAN do better!

We really enjoyed our visit to the new-look Weaver. The place was fairly quiet on a Wednesday lunchtime, but I can imagine it's busy in the evening and weekends. The decor was fresh and clean, the service excellent, the food was tasty and good value. The homemade chicken soup was delightful...as good as anything I've had before. Will definitely be back many more times.

Just popped into The Weavers after having heard that it had changed hands and the food was good. The decor is excellent and the menu is backed up by an excellent specials board. My scampi was cooked to perfection as was my partners lasagne. I just about managed a huge portion of yummy sticky toffee pudding with local ice cream. I shall visit again very soon.

Very busy Saturday night,six of us( two children in our party)went to the weaver for our evening meal.We found the staff very customer focoused and nothing was to much trouble.The food was pub fare,basic but tasty.Could have done with one or two more members of staff,as they serviced both the bar area and the .We thought that the eating area could have been made bigger when revamping ,but a pleasant place to visit.Would go again.

Newly opened and trying hard to create an informal pub style dining experience. Nice to see they have kept the menu small enough to be able to do the diahes well but offering enough variety for all tastes. Specials available for each course too. Personally I would prefer no TV within my view and if they kept the panel door shut between the dining and bar area this would have made a much nicer enviroment as they have gone to a lot of trouble with the decor and seating environment in the dining room section. Food tasty and nicely presented. Friendly genuine servjce. Feels like they need to get more confidence and "own" the dining side part of the business as much as they do the bar but I think this will come in time. will I go back? Yeah I will and you ahould try it too.
