Wine and Wallop in Cheshire East

I’m only here for the beer, the ever changing choice of cask ales makes this venue a worth entry in the Good Beer Guide. First class, friendly service as well makes the visit most enjoyable.

The best place in Knutsford for food, drinks & live music with an amazing outdoor terrace & bar. Staff are always super friendly & always helpful. A must visit if you’re in Knutsford.

Well, I must say — Wine and Wallop in Knutsford is, quite frankly, an absolute delight. It’s the sort of place that charms you utterly without even trying — effortlessly warm, disarmingly lovely, and really rather brilliant in every aspect. Their new menu is marvellously delicious beyond measure — thoughtful, flavoursome, and just… really bloody good. But what truly makes it shine is the bar staff — some of the kindest, most helpful people you’re ever likely to meet. It’s all so wonderfully done, you can’t help but want to linger just a little longer. A rare and splendid little treasure that leaves you smiling long after you’ve left.

A really disappointing experience. Great that Wallop allow dogs and the live singer was great, however the food was a disaster from start to finish. The waitress didn't tell us any of the menu that was not available until she came to take our order, after 30 minutes she returns to let us know 'there has been a problem with the printer in the kitchen and your order hasn't gone through', they did provide us with free drinks so we ordered a coffee each. After about 20 minutes, the drinks finally came but she told me they were just on the look out for some extra milk for my coffee. Once the food finally arrived it was disgusting and the crab omelette was missing which we raised with her. She said it was on its way but it was clear with the time that it had taken to bring it out that they were making it fresh in the kitchen. The omelette finally comes out and the raw egg spills out and fills the plate. Genuinely the worst food experience I have ever had. I am grateful to the manager for giving us everything for free as the floor staff had made it clear to him that we had had a terrible experience. Will absolutely not be returning.

WALLOP Knutsford SENSATIONAL Small Plates We’ve just come back from trying the new TIDBITS menu at Wallop in Knutsford, and honestly we couldn’t fault any of the dishes, it was one of the tastiest meals we’ve had in ages. Every dish was thoughtful, creative, and packed with flavour. You could tell straight away this was something special by the quality of the ingredients. The smoked chicken with Madeira mayonnaise was exceptional, so rich and smooth, with a gorgeous mix of wild mushrooms. The venison… WOW that was great too, perfectly cooked and served with earthy beetroot, proper melt-in-your-mouth stuff. We also tried the pear and blue cheese salad and the caramelised red onion and beetroot tart which were both fabulous. Finally we had the Morecambe brown shrimps and crispy pork belly with sticky scrumpy apple glaze, oh my gosh that was a BIG smack round the chops!! All STUNNING!! As persuaded by James, our ever attentive waiter and barman (who we have to say pours a great pint of Guinness!!) we had the Vimto trifle to finish which was a proper throwback to childhood. So good! Wallop isn’t just Knutsford’s best bar anymore, it's become a full experience. From sipping drinks on the stunning terrace to sampling some of the town’s best food, every visit feels special. The warmth and attentiveness of Ben, James, and the entire team only add to the charm. We’re already planning our return, there are still so many dishes we can’t wait to try! We also want to give a massive shout-out to Robert Owen-Brown, the new Executive Chef who created and produced these taste sensations!! If you're looking for an evening that combines amazing food, a relaxed vibe, great live music and genuinely lovely service go to Wallop.

What can I say other than WOW the new menu ! Food was better than any food I have tasted in Knutsford- highly recommend the shrimps on buttered crumpet. As always the warmest of greetings and service by the staff , consistently great malbec and a wonderful chilled , positive vibe and to add to it (more than good ) live music ! What a place 🧡

Bar staff were great and really friendly, however, told the bouncers on the way out that there was some weird men making women feeling uncomfortable and they simply told us to tell them to “do one”. I said that’s your job, they didn’t seem bothered. It’s a shame that women should feel unsafe on a night out and for the bouncers to not really care.

Amazing selection of drinks at a very reasonable price. Food very nice and came out in good time. Great atmosphere

Wow... a must try venue... cracking ales and lager, and decent vino tpp

Enjoyed a fry up in the middle of the day - very pleasing

Only had a drink but service was great and a nice ambience x

The host was very friendly and helpful

The knutsford wallop is a beautiful venue, well worth visiting from Manchester! The drinks and service tonight were amazing. Thanks to the staff for the excellent service!

Really good pub right in the middle of Knutsford. Not too expensive compared to other pubs in area. Lots of room over a few floors and each floor seems to have its own atmosphere! Recommend 100%

Wow ! Rude beyond belief Please employ professional bar people not just people that are interested in serving their friends

Four cask beers in a trendy and popular bar on Knutsford's historic main street A well deserved pub of the season and Good Beer Guide entry.

Lovely chilled Sunday afternoon, red wine, chatting with friends & a great vocalist playing some relaxed tunes. Nice end to the weekend. Friendly staff & nice decor.

Excellent place for a great night out, great music and excellent atmosphere. Staff are amazing

Lovely place, great atmosphere.

A great happy atmosphere, really enjoyed the live music. Good place to go with friends or on a date.

Great atmosphere, lovely friendly people that work behind the bar, and great selection of beer 🍺

Didn't eat, so I can't comment on food, but it's a really cool bar, great service, and atmosphere

Great atmosphere/amazing singer jess wich I would highly recommend going seeing. Lovley people all around 👍

What an absolutely awesome bar . Super environment. Great atmosphere. Loved upstairs like our own private dancing area . Great outdoors area . Can’t wait to return. And most of all great staff 👍

Really quirky but totally friendly place with lots of interest and seating. Upstairs outside area is lovely in the cool summer evenings- very clean and lovely people working there

Lovely bar, great beer selection. Will definitely be returning!

Always a decent vibe, super chilled, really personable staff and often have a decent gluten free beer option for anyone in need 🍻

Great choice of drinks and great service.

Rang up and spoke to a lady who told me that they were changing the menu but we could still eat here just we wouldn’t be able to have a particular dish that we might normally go for with having limited selection. We said it’s fine as we’re not fussy. When we got there we were told the kitchen was closed. All they could offer us was discounted drinks… as good as that is it’s not our fault you closed the kitchen failed to let us know. Plus we were starving. I even sent an email about booking a table for food. Safe to say I won’t book again if I can’t grantee a meal. Not one to complain but it just saddened me when I love coming to knutsford and was excited to try here after hearing such good things about it. Shame really.

Always a great vibe! The staff are friendly and helpful. DJs provide a stellar sonic backdrop on Fridays.

Love this place! Staff are amazing, the atmosphere is so unique and the location is perfect. Stands out the most from other places in knutsford. Well worth a visit. I've heard there's a new beer garden bar opening and some exciting events being put into place 😍

perfect for late night drinks, loved the decor and vibe of the place. Relatively cheap drinks. staff very friendly and helpful

Went to the Freaky Disco night. Great music selections, disco edits , nu-disco and such like , those guys know their stuff. Bar service was quick and friendly. A lovely little place.

Good vibes cool and informal we had drinks only. Worth a look

Fab service from the team at W&W Knutsford this Saturday. We used the “pink room” as a private party space and everything we asked for was done to perfection. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was fresh and tasty. Everyone had a brilliant time - thank you!

Always very friendly and professional staff Cozy atmosphere in the heart of the old market town of Knutsford Sunday lunch is always delicious But I’m missing the pizza

really good for drinks after a dinner on the high street. we write after piccolino and it was perfect honestly. 10/10 recommend

Excellent authentic Italian food. Good choice of drinks to accompany our meal and super friendly staff

Lovely dog friendly place. But please fix your front door sitting near it is not relaxing 😌. Otherwise would be a 5☆

Friendly staff very accomodating. Dog friendly which was a bonus. Staff understood allergies and gave us correct info. Food came quickly and was delicious, will be going again

Nice chilled couple of drinks. Great choice, top service. All good 👍

Awful service last night. Ordered 2 drinks and waited forever! Waitress apologised saying ticket problems at bar. Said drinks would be reduced in price. Paid at bar and charged full price. Won't be back

Busy, cold and Christmas-y day for n Knutsford. Went into Wine &Wallop for a drink. After a few mins queuing at the bar, we were asked to find a table and take seat, and table service would be provided. Another couple were told the same. They gave up before we did. We gave c 5 mins, but no sign of service. The other couple left, and their table taken by 2 ladies. One went to the bar and was served straight away, (a local?), but we were still waiting. So we walked out. Do you care?

Don’t bother, we arrived at 12:30pm on a Monday afternoon for my daughter’s birthday to be told sorry we don’t do food until Thursday, the guy that told us at the door had a terrible attitude, once told they don’t do food until Thursday he shut the door on us. Definitely won’t be going back, one more thing, it’s also a cashless establishment, very disappointing

13/10/23: shocking service, ordered 5 beers and 3 x double espresso coffees. Coffees had to be requested twice as server forgot to make them. Waited another 20 minutes and went to speak to bar staff again, 2 of which were dancing on the floor. Reminded them about the drinks. Shortly arrived 3 Americanos (not double espresso) and an apology that a party of 6 had placed a large order. Still enjoyed the drinks, still liked the layout and little drinking rooms and outside area. Would possible return at a later date for a second chance.

What an awful place this is. The food is very expensive, poor quality and the staff are incompetent at doing their jobs. I would never go here again and if you want a good night out, then neither will you.

Lovely venue and friendly staff. Lovely cocktails and atmosphere

We had a late lunch here recently. Lots of positives: - good value for food - small plates were large; all dishes were tasty; - decent wines by the glass; - service was down to earth - no frills but no issues either; - dog friendly. We usually go for more stylish places to eat, but this place hit the spot on this particular occasion. It's rather trendy and 'wallop' means 'alcoholic drink, especially beer'.

On a date night decided to go wine and and wallop, which turned out to be great experience as the food was tasty and beautifully cooked. The service was top class and Sam was excellent looking after us.

Absolutely normally love the wine and wallop and recommend it, however today service was rubbish I ordered a chicken burger at £12 and followed up with does it come with anything g with passing waitress she said no so ordered some triple cooked chips When it arrived I got my burger only and the f (half the burger bun was almost empty) then followed with skinny fries to which I advised I ordered triple cooked chips (that had too much seasoning on) I had to ask for cutlery and remind staff for Mayo. When asking for the bill we waited 15 mins and then decided to go downstairs to pay which our server and 3 others were behind the bar talking - no apology etc Have a look at my lonely burger whilst I waited a further 5-10 minutes for my chips. Won’t be eating here again!

Lovely place, great atmosphere and super friendly helpful staff. Had some lovely malbec red wine and the BEST EVER cheesy chips!!! (Not even on the menu! We just asked and they did it for us!) They had a choice of triple cooked fat chips or thin fries. We went for the fat chips, the cheese was gorgeous and perfectly melted all over the chips. They also threw some herbs (rosemary maybe?!) on the whole lot - absolutely delicious. Amazing. All served in two piping hot low bowls on a thick wooden cheese board type tray. Really fab. Wish I'd taken a photo to upload. Next time I will, then edit this review and add the photo in!. Thanks. Highly recommended. A++ :-) PS. They have a lovely upstairs/outside terrace too.

Yet again Wine and Wallop did not disappoint. The Surf and Turf shared platter for two was excellent and well worth the short wait. Scallops, prawns, steak and a variety of other meat dishes were tasty and appealing. The garlic and lime(?) mayo was incredible and all served with oodles of focaccia and pitta bread. Love the staff in here - their banter is excellent

Busy pub and late night disco, good food, drink and cocktail selection.

Spur of the moment choice for early evening dinner. Very friendly and helpful staff, loved the menu choices,

First time we properly tried if, great staff - very good Bloody Mary and will be back.

Great food Great service Great value for money would recommend 👍

Nice place. Well worth a visit. Great food. Fantastic prices. Superb service. 👍🏻

Went here for a work do, and there's was a bartender who made the night for me, all I asked for was a surprise G&T and every single drink was delivered to perfection!

Walked in with my friend and my doggie. Went upstairs to find an outdoor area. How lovely … staff were very attentive , happy and genuinely concerned about our needs. Food was DELICIOUS! I ordered Chicken roast . The BEST roast dinner ever! Wine and side order. PERFECT!

Best pub in Knutsford without a doubt

A really lucky find. Wandered around a double of places and then "settled" on Wine & Wallop. What a find?! We both had the Sunday roast, and it's the best I've had for some time. Delightful beef, lovely potatoes and veg (all cooked in an interesting but unfussy manner) and and excellent Yorkshire pudding. Will be back.

Great atmosphere, lovely staff; Roisin is fab! Tried the food today, vegan burger really lovely, my friends steak frites was great too. Drinks are well priced, and nice outside area too and dog friendly. 🥂

Nice little place in the town centre of Knutsford ,only issue was this Saturday just gone had a visit and ordered 2 glasses of pinot ,to be told they had run out ??..it was 1.15pm in the afternoon on a Saturday ..to run out of pinot takes some doing for a wine bar..co ops only 100yards down the road with plenty of pinots for sale in an emergency.. if i was running it id be fuming hearing customers told that ,and as we ordered something else 2 other customers in earshot were told the same 1 couple walked out ..1.15 on a Sat come on ..othetwise nice little place and worth a visit

Great place good service from lovely people

New years eve had a great atmosphere and the staff were lovely to everyone, obviously very busy but they handled it very well and kept the queue moving quickly. Polite and respectful even when some customers weren't back to them, very professional.

Delightful place with super food and gorgeous staff.

Nice setting. Nice food and friendly staff. However they told us that they were short staffed and that the light lunch we ordered would take 30 minutes. It took 50 minutes! If the service had been quicker then I would have rated it 5 stars and they had the cheek to add 10% service charge.

Great new menu and finally serving food reliably 7 days a week with the new management. Worth a trip down if you haven't in a while. I would however like to see some more items on the menu.

Really liked this quirky little place, the garden was lovely. Just stopped for a drink as couldn't book a table for food.

Great place to go for just a drink or food too. Sunday roast was fabulous. Dog friendly as well. The man even went down the road to a pet shop to get treats for out dog Misty so she did not miss out.

Excellent place a real gem Had a blid with the old fashioned resolved thank w&w xx

Complete surprise. Another Tardis with multiple rooms all to ourselves on a wet Wednesday afternoon. Even so it has a great vibe. Boothroyd pictured with his fave grouo of all time..The Velvet Underground ..and Nico.(Andy Warhol factory days.) Hidden garden terrace. Two floors of seating. 4 real ales normally but only one on this wet Wednesday. A stout from Brightside. Lovely. Good wine. Lovely toilets.

Love this place. Staff very attentive and remembered our orders. Will definitely visit again

Great bar with a lovely friendly atmosphere!

Really nice environment for a relaxing drunk....

Come here regularly for the live music every Thursday. Good atmosphere and Staff are super friendly.

Who was that lady in the red dress at the bar 27th May 2022, about 10.30pm...........

Love this place xx the little secret garden is perfect. Staff brilliant

Brilliant night and Africa entertained us with her stunning voice and groovy tunes.

Great staff and the area is well designed

Never disappointed with the service and food at this place. Good place for some nibbles and beer or wine whatever you choose to have

Super bar with chilled vibes. Friendly staff a great place to hang out. Beer, wine or cocktails. Always have a good time here

Slow service. No staff communication so you are asked if you'd like a drink by multiple staff after ordering one. Takes a good 15mins for drinks to arrive. Ordering another drink (as they do table service) is hard work. We ended up giving up getting another drink and just paying the bill and leaving.

Good food, cosy atmosphere, nice staff, dog friendly. Service is not quick but it's a chill place, for a nice afternoon not a quick bite.

Nice atmosphere, good food and drink, dog friendly, kind staff.

Great place and very friendly helpful staff 👍

They didn't throw us out. The state some were in, they should have.

Great place to visit anytime in the day, went for breakfast with the family, food was amazing plus they cater for dogs. Been to Wine and Wallop on a date night also, great choice of drinks and outdoor space is good setting in all types of weather

A modern bar that somehow manages to capture the atmosphere of a traditional pub. A fine choice of local real ales including, on my visit, a cask mild. Food is not the cheapest - Sunday roast came with a generous portion of meat, and nicely cooked roast potatoes and four vegetables. Very popular with dog owners, canines being welcome throughout the pub.

Great bar. Good food, good service and great atmosphere.

Upscale wine bar with an atmospheric upper terrace. Service is generally friendly and polite, although it can be slow unless you're happy to 'jump on' a member of staff. The Löwenbräu on draft is particularly good.

fabulous service by Mathew and Chloe

Secret garden is amazing. Great place. Good choice of food , service excellent

Popped in for half an hour - really nice staff and delicious humous small plate. Also got a free doggy ice cream!

Food great doing there very best under very difficult circumstances 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 great service if 100%

Beautiful outdoor space at the back and delicious coffee.

Nice venue. Great selection of real and craft ales. Good service (except for a slight error with the "billing" - which was quickly and efficiently resolved - and there could have been even more "zeros" involved LOL)

A very dog friendly place.....they even get doggie ice cream....

Cute little find! Very dog friendly (she got a free icecream, winner!) , really chilled vibe and the food was great. We chose a few dishes from the small plates menu and we're not disappointed. We will definitely be back!

Lots of kids wines 🍷and good price
