Whipping Stocks Inn in Cheshire East

Really nice place. Coal fires burning homely and great hospitality from the Landlord who bought me half a pint. Genuine northern decency and kindness.

Great hosts and fab food and drinks for less than £20. Well done.

Carpark was OK. It was otherwise shut.

Time warped but good for a catchup with mates

Our walking club visited here after our walk...what a lovely welcome and pub..Helen really looked after us and the food was lovely..As we were a large group Helen set out expectations from the start as all food is freshly prepared...so we drank more beer!!😉

Not great. Cash only and no ice for drinks.

Lovely food and drink, great service. Waitress really went out of her way to accommodate our little one.

Don't go here if you want to have fun. Bit of a ticking clock kind of pub

Friendly staff nice place, would definitely go again

Lovely pub. No loude music very clean a cheerful barmaid who made you feel very welcome. Will be going there again very soon. This is how pubs used to be. *****

Quiet and peaceful - no crowds, no loud music. Delicious home cooked meal and good selection of drinks. Will definitely visit again.

Great value, home cooked food, not straight out of a microwave bag like so many pubs in the area. Staff are also lovely. Still cash only and we needed to book to get a space in the beer garden as we had a dog with us.

Very nice pub,food,staff take cash as cash only you will not be disappointed

Great Experience, excellent hosts, good beer, what's not to like.

Lovely beer garden, great Samuel Smiths beer. Pleasant service

Lovely pub, amazing beer and top people. Reasonable prices are just the icing on the cake.

Called in for a drink very quiet.

Great pub and amazing hosts, Helen & Ray.

Great country pub. Wide choice of drinks, many on draught. Large beer garden

Thank you for excellent hospitality early 2020. We went off our way a bit on a walk, arriving here just as it got dark and we couldn't safely walk back to our car. The staff were very helpful and arranged for a taxi to take us back to our car. We enjoyed a drink by the log fires and look forward to returning again when we can relax a bit and learn how to read a map!

(Forgive the late review) We went here for a lovely meal on the 25th September 2020 and we couldn’t fault it. Staff were lovely, food was great, and we were treated to a nice bit of history about the place by a gentleman that I think was the landlord. Lovely experience and we’ll be happy to go back once restrictions have eased . 😊

Cosy country pub. Grabbed my last pint before lockdown there and looking forward to going back when it reopens.

Good service, good food, great pub!

Not the best pint. Shame, normally one of the best beers around

Called in for lunch. Blazing fire and good food. Samuel Smith's ale. Covid precautions in place.

Lovely garden, very well priced drinks. Unfortunately the food we ordered still hadn't appeared after an hour so we had to leave without eating having paid up front. Very disappointed in the place

Beer mediocre, recent price increases are a joke. Friendly barmaid and nice beer garden are the only redeeming features

The food was lovely the staff were so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend

Peaceful, good food but at the moment cash only pub

One of our favourite places. Food is yummy, staff are friendly and welcoming. Cannot wait for our next visit.

No Swearing, No Mobile Phones, No Guinness and No Card Payments. Amazed it is still in business!

Lovely pub, friendly welcome and of course Sammy Smiths bitter. Our Boxer dog enjoyed the pork scratchings and the large beer garden also.

Ray and Helen are great hosts and our Sunday lunch was wonderful. 10 people all served at the same time. Good, hot food. Thank you.

Loved the organic lager and fab fish n chips

Nice pub with spacious beer garden ,used to be very cheap for drinks,however very expensive now,probably won't go again

One of my favourite pubs. Great beer and food.

Great little pub and fantastic value for money!

Very cosy and nice place and the beers on tap are amazing

Cash only pub. They do meals and drinks are cheap pint of bitter and lager shandy only £3.08. Wood panelling in most rooms and log fires. Plenty of parking

If I could rate this place any lower I would. Terrible. No phones allowed. It's in the middle of nowhere but they don't even accept cards so try buying a drink if you don't happen to have enough cash. This is no service to anyone, best if it just simply shuts. To top it all off, I was told no phones allowed even though people at the bar were on their phones. Seems to be a policy that's applied only to "ousiders". Avoid at all costs.

Nice place if you want to be in a place with no mobiles or electronic gadets this is the place

Wonderful place, take a few friends and enjoy Sam smiths "propper" selection of beers and cider. You will not be disappointed.

Proper traditional country pub.

Nice samuel smith pub on the outskirts of Knutsford. Beer always reasonably priced in these pubs. Open fires in the winter lovely beer garden in the summer. Food is lovely here too. Well worth a visit

Very welcoming,meal was loverly. The staff and chef couldn't do enough to make you feel welcome. The atmospherewas warm surroundings very pleasant. Even dogs welcomed and well behaved.

It's a cash only, drinks are cheap, food very good. Good point no mobiles people have to converse with each other.

Great place, always friendly and cosy. Recommended

The beer is fine and cheap the staff are good but the manager want,s to cheer up a bit

It was my first time going into this pub, my dad and I had liver and onions and fresh veg and potatoes which is a first for pubs. Price was very good to. Very nice old pub with open fires. Will go again.

I loved it here. My original review showed one star, my tablet let me down and recorded wrongly.

Very pleasant staff and good service. The food was excellent and not over priced. Would recommend this pub and I'd certainly go back.

Fantastic meal at reasonable price Friendly staff.Cash only too settle bills which surprised us.

Nice food and friendly helpful staff thanks

Friendly atmosphere, nice food, definitely going back

It's an impressive property in a leafy setting, yet remains a proper pub with log fire and warm welcome. The food is wholesome and delicious. The parking is generous. For me, doesn't put a foot wrong.

An old-fashioned pub and all the better for it. It's split across several rooms so one can usually find a quiet corner if required. Beer by Sam Smiths which is okay for the most part and made better by the very reasonable prices.

Friendly staff. Clean and well kept. Good food which even caters for vegans! Nice selection of local non-commercial craft beers on draft - even an organic larger (Samuel Smith)!. A pub designed with socialising in mind, mobile-phone free zone, complimentary board games provided. The pub gives an honorary tradition to General George Smith Patton (1885-1945) who frequented the Whipping Stock and as paid a full years subscription for a flower arrangement on the table where he used to sit. A worthy visit if your in the area.

Simply put, the best bitter in the world! Thank you.

Fantastic food....starter of mushrooms arrived with the main..but were delicious...,fish and chips was a large portion,beautifully cooked...the home made pies...wow gorgeous.

Been here a couple of times. It's a nice quiet country pub with a large outdoor garden with plenty of seating. We just had drinks and my daughter had a small portion of chips. Staff were friendly and helpful

Really nice old pub, big garden. Quite a few different but traditional rooms. One of the best things about it is that it seems to have no piped music.

Great place good cheap drink excellent

Bangin pints all day and night.

Excellent food and drink, Staff very good as the wife is allergic to gluten, Dairy and alcohol. Food and drink cheaper than most pubs, £2.00 pint of John Smiths bitter, £2.30 pint of stout, large rear drinks garden and old fashioned pub, no music, games, just drink and food, good atmosphere, well recommended.

Had a Lovely meal at the Whipping stocks last night The land lord & lady & all the Staff were very welcoming & friendly Great food would Definately recomend John & Una Bennett

Fantastic place, great beer and a huge beer garden

Amazing beer and a wonderful garden to enjoy it in during the 2 days of summer we have :)

Doesn't take card which is extremely disappointing.

Good old fashioned country pub. Cheap and cheerful.

Smashing big sun catching beer garden

Really nice old pub, not a massive selection of beers, but good enough. The reason they lost the fist star is because the food was incredibly slow, it was a Friday lunch so it shouldn't be a surprise to them that there will be a high food demand. The second star was lost because they don't take card, it's just not acceptable for any business to be cash only, I payed on card for pick and mix the other day! Small changes to get 5 stars!

Lovely ambience. A nice out of the city bar and cafe

Nice food, great beer for the price and friendly staff

The only reason I have given this place any stars is because the beer was good and reasonably priced. But how can a modern pub restaurant be run on a cash only basis? The main man behind the bar whom I took to be the landlord had a miserable attitude and seemed to be unfamiliar with the computerised ordering system. When our main course came about 1 hour after we had ordered it, the pork my wife had ordered was like the sliced meat from a supermarket. The "mashed potato" we both had appeared to be from a packet mix and both our meals were cold. We could not eat it so I asked for a refund. The landlord started to argue and offered me a part refund because we had eaten our starters. I said that because of the inconvenience and the fact that I was still hungry he should refund the whole amount. He begrudgingly gave me what I think was the full amount and we left and went home and a had a fish and chips takeaway. I do not usually complain in restaurants or pubs, but I felt that I was justified this time because the whole experience was so awful. We will not be back.

Great pub good atmosphere nice food

Good prices, nice location, good beer

Fab food, freshly cooked and a good pint Reasonable prices Really great service Family run pub, they obviously care about their customers We will be back for sure if in this area again Bill & Lesley From Scotland

Friendly service and a great beer garden.

A very friendly relaxing and traditional pub.

Food was slow, they'll struggle in summer!

Fab place for lunch and a pint. Friendly staff. Newly reopened. The fish and chips were freshly made with lovely light crispy batter. Great Samuel Smith beer, and couldnt believe the price!!

Food looked nice and very reasonable prices. Nice relaxed atmosphere

Really nice beer, Samuel Smith's, lovely surroundings, lovely garden, big car park, and decent food. Well worth a visit

This pub is a real find! The location is a little out of the way but great for walkers, dog walkers and those travelling in a car. There's a big car park and big beer garden. Outside and inside the pub looks like a high end pub, exceptionally clean, very warm and welcoming with the real log fires. What really shocked us was the prices! its so cheap its amazing! Drinks choices are limited to the brewery's own brand and there was only one red wine to choose from but it was nice. 3 drinks and change from £10! The staff at the pub are lovely and you can tell they work really hard and really go out of their way on a quiet evening to get to know those sat at the bar. We didn't eat there but their is a basic menu and the food did look good. Would definitely return. Ray and Helen are brilliant!

One of the most charming pubs - particularly in the winter months with roaring fires in each room - friendly staff, good service and inexpensive drinks. Thank you!

Welcoming staff,good prices and great old fashioned country pub atmosphere. Been coming here once a week for twenty years to meet friends. Drink prices are low and the joke is to send someone from London to buy a round of drinks and see how they handle the low prices. Seen them looking at the drinks and the change in their hands and wondering what's going on.

Nice country pub good food and drinks at reasonable prices

Nice quiet pub with tasty red wine.

Interesting pub good beer garden. Great beer at a reasonable price.

A lovely, quiet country pub with lots of nooks and crannies to enjoy a drink and some crisps with a close friend.

Called in for a quick pint on the way back from Knutsford markets. It’s a lovely old pub. Wood panelling throughout. Not sure who the brewery was, but the beer was a nice change from the normal choice. Sat in the beer garden. Plenty of benches, but nothing for children

Nice cold larger at a price that wont break the bank. 🍻

Large well kept beer garden with good furnishings, surrounded by trees and shrubs. Good food and range of beers.

Real old pub with no McDonald's......loved the place..big garden.will go again even tho it's 27miles away.

Pleasant pub good for a quick escape from work.

Enjoyed it, food was really nice and quick service too.

Good Pub with food if you want go. Have beer garden, toilet facilities and car parkimg as well

Decent prices as it's a Sam Smith's establishment with an enormous beer garden and several different rooms/snugs inside. Relatively quiet as it's in a rural location, mostly used by Barclays technologists.

A calm and quiet place to enjoy your drinks. Local brewed beers available. Enjoy your drinks in a nice big Garden .

Brilliant drinking and eating pub
