Ye Olde Admiral Rodney in Cheshire East

Cosy friendly pub. Nice Beer garden with heaters.

Busy bank holiday weekend. First came here nearly 50 years ago... lovely pub, then and now.

It's been 34 years since we've been in here, 'our first date'. The place has never changed.... brilliant

Excellent all round - excellent menu great service. Nothing compares for miles around. Cheese and onion pie was homemade served with chunky chips!! Hearty and delicious!!

Nice pub, only had drinks but really enjoyed my visit. Will be back😀

Had lunch here on Father’s Day, the home made pie was delicious and everything was well cooked. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful. I recommend this pub for traditional pub grub. Brilliant! 😀

Fabulous local pub with great ale & wine selection. Obviously a well respected 'local' with friendly regulars!

Very welcoming since I was in the sixth-form 50 years ago. This is one of the most expensive villages in the country. Nevertheless the food and drink is normal for Robinson's in the Northwest i.e. relatively inexpensive.

Beautiful old pub with a cosy interior. Excellent Robinsons beers. Great beer garden too.

Finally got to the Rodney for lunch. My wife had home made Cheese and Onion pie whilst I indulged in the Burger. Both were very pleasant as were the Unicorn and dry cider to accompany the meal. Excellent service in spite of an invasion by school pupils breaking up for their A levels (who all had their ID's checked).

Lovely traditional pub with nice service. Plenty of space this afternoon, warm and inviting....and dog friendly

Typical old pub but lovely place

What a brilliant pub Very friendly Service is 5 star

Nice comfortable pub Robinson beer in excellent condition

Very friendly and excellent atmosphere - Recommended.

An all-round great experience everytime ive visited (im not local to the area). The staff are very welcoming and the cheese & onion pie is top tier. As someone who doesnt drink alcohol, the selection at pubs can be disappointing...not the rodney. They have Guinness 0, Heineken 0 and Morreti 0, easily the 3 best options. If you're looking for a friendly village pub with good food, look no further.

I love this place the atmosphere, super friendly service and good old home cooked food never let's me down

Only had drinks but lovely atmosphere and a true old style real English pub. Nice place to be and will go again.

The local Prestbury village pub.

A high-quality local that is not a chain pub. Food and drink were excellent. They use locally sourced ingredients. I had Gambas Tempura to start, followed by meat balls with Linguini, and to finish a lovely bread and butter pudding with real custard. The pub is definitely worth a visit.

Lovely old pub that welcomes Dogs

Lovely hospitable pub - good selection of cask beers at the pump, friendly staff and locals.

Can't review the food, as we only popped in for a quick drink between meetings. But, guy behind the bar (unsure whether he was the owner) was very friendly. The pub looks to be a very cosy, old fashioned (in a good way) place to spend time.

We was exploring The area as a possible place to move too. On arrival we made sure it was a dog 🐕 friendly environment. We looked around and notice several locals had their dogs on laps and on the seats. We picked our seats carefully away from other dogs and thoroughly enjoyed a few drinks with the super friendly locals. All this time Simon our dog had joined us predominantly on my lap and pub style sofa beside us. The bar staff for around 2 hours saw no problem with this and it wasn't until the locals with their dogs left we was confronted and asked if our dog could sit on the floor under the table. When I replied we only let him sit on us as all the locals had thiers on the seats the reply was they are local and should know better. The whole experience made us feel like idiots and otherwise ruined a nice couple of hours. So to conclude one rule for locals but if you are not from around these parts you are made to feel a little less welcome. Shame as the beer was good.

Well, I enjoyed my time here, and I’ll probably be back. The cheese, and onion pie was good even if it was split at one part (as can seen in one of these photos). Also the Guinness was good so, can’t complain much… it is a very charming place on the inside too (rather rustic), as I don’t usually take this many photographs… Edit, on second visit the pie was much better, though it seemed to take longer to make (probably a good thing though, really!)

Great traditional pub in Prestbury

A fine 17th century former coaching inn on the main high street of Prestbury village. Tastefully decorated to retain its historical charm. Comfortable and with a pleasant beer garden. Good range of gins and Robbies ales. Didn't eat but having looked at the menu I'm sure we will do so soon.

Nice traditional pub with a good range of beers on offer.

Fantastic place, I love pubs like this, please don't think about changing it. Staff lovely, extremely helpful and very sociable. Great range of drinks (sadly I was driving so on lemonade). Sat out in the beer garden in the sunshine, wonderfully mellow place.

Lovely place, great staff and food !!

Lovely old, friendly pub. Great food too.

Very friendly staff and reasonable priced drinks

The prices are ridiculous, we drink in some of the most expensive places in London and have never been charged £24 for 2 gin and soda waters (not tonic), absolute rip off! They don’t put their drinks prices on their website unlike other Robinsons pubs. Definitely won’t be going back.

Food outstanding! Superb fish pie for lunch, lots of fish, shrimps etc. and proper mashed potatoes and peas. Staff very friendly and helpful. All in all a very enjoyable lunch.

Good pub, great atmosphere and very friendly staff, prices very high though (even for Prestbury)

Very good snack menu, excellent sandwiches!

Excellent beer, good quality pub

Thanks for the coffee when I came to do interior valet

Great food, fast service and ancient, character building.

Lovely old fashioned pub. Plenty of outdoor seating. Good food too

Very friendly old world pub. Lots of seating outside. Good range of beers. Dog friendly. Worth a visit.

Food excellent and a nice beer garden, friendly staff. Would have liked a bitter or dark ale.

Decent food, although order was slightly wrong. Not enough to complain over though…

Perfect as always. Thank you Gemma! 🤗🥰🤗

Lovely place will be back soon x

Beauitful place and amazing staff members. Will be back again, an amazing place to enjoy lunch or dinner.

Awful smell from a table of people vaping … shouldn’t be allowed in a pub! Vapers should have to go outside with the smokers.

Very nice pint of Robinsons Bitter

Over priced below average food. Very slow service. Very polite staff behind the bar. Beer good. Confusion over charging for the bill,which was handled badly by manager.

Food not good,and expensive. Very slow service. Limited menu. Maybe it was just a one off. Just a little disorganised..

Had lunch here today - nice friendly traditional pub with great period features. The Homemade Chilli was just right! The Publican was welcoming and couldn't do enough for me. Decor was on point and the ladies bathroom was clean and tastefully decorated. Peaceful and welcoming atmosphere - food came quickly. Will visit again and can recommend.

Not been here for some time and attended a funeral. They had a good room for the gathering and the food was good

Not living in Prestbury I recently found out that a number of pubs in the village were dog friendly. Accordingly I tried a couple of them including Ye Olde Admiral Rodney on the main village high street and took my dog along. Whilst there I heard that the following day an Indian street food outlet was being hosted there on Thursday and Friday called Indian Goat. Apparently it received recent fame by a visit from TVs The Hairy Bikers. The place was fully booked up but I found a place at the bar and later tried the Tangra king prawns and Chennan chicken under their ‘small plates’ section of the menu. I have to say that they were the best Indian starters I have ever tasted and will definitely visit them in Bollington in the near future. The pub is a Robinson’s house with classic trusted beers such as Bitter and Dizzy Blonde. The decor is traditional and homely and sometimes there’s even a crackling fire. The staff were very friendly and professional and attentive to your needs. They do have their own wide menu but didn’t try at that time. Prestbury is known for its affluent population which may suggest stuffy posh guests. On the contrary I talked to a number of people at the bar and they were all very warm and chatty. The pub is just four minutes walk from the railway station so why not leave the car at home like I did. I had a brilliant night and I think this is now my local even if it isn’t around the corner.

Lovely traditional cosy pub. Beer prices are also good for the area and the cheese pie is fantastic. Owners and staff very welcoming too! Love it!

Great place for a drink, Excellent food,Great friendly staff. The low beams and ceilings give the pub a great atmosphere, I would recommend this lovely pub.

Warm well come.Excellent service I would highly recommend this pub+++++.

Very good food lovely staff will come again Carole ashworth

Nice old pub with good beers. Not that impressed with bar service. Got ignored by the bar staff and they served locals who came in well after me before I got to finish my long wait.

The Admiral Rodney is located in the centre of Prestbury. There is a small car park at the rear of the pub for about 10 cars. The pub was clean and well presented in a very attractive traditional way. There were 3 real ales on offer, Unicorn, Dizzy Blonde and Cumbrian Way all from the Robinson's stable. There was also a good choice of lagers, wines and spirits. The food menu concentrated on traditional pub food and was served and presented to a good quality. The staff were very pleasant and the service was good. The prices were on the high side reflecting it's Cheshire location in the centre of affluent Prestbury. If you are in the area I would certainly recommend a visit.

Nice place, very cosy but a small bottle of coke is £2:75

Have hardly been to a pub during these covid times, except for a couple of irresistible visits to the Rodney. One of my favourite pubs in UK, and local to boot. And Malcolm is often behind the bar, always welcoming.

Great place for a much needed drink after walking around the village. Low ceilings and beams make a characterful place. Beer was great - dizzy blonde - v refreshing. Service v friendly and menu looked good, sadly we had to get home.

Trust the Admiral to provide you with good beer and food. The cheese and onion pie ranks with any international cuisine in my opinion. They do pub food - it is not a "gastropub" (thank goodness). Friendly atmosphere and nautical decor.

For a few pints before lunch. Excellent service and quality beer.Felt welcome in a place not visited for many years,

We had a warm welcome and a fantastic lunch yesterday. The two vegan main course choices were excellent, the mixed bean chilli and particularly the chickpea and sweet potato curry. The coffees were great too. Already planning to return!

Good beer good company friends birthday

Nice old pub friendly staff lovely location in prestbury

Nice folk - good food/beer! Pleasant/helpful service....

Great pub with extra summer seating outside.

Fetched up at the Admiral Rodney completely by accident yesterday (long story!) and were very glad we had. We just wanted a modest lunch in pleasant surroundings, but due to recent lockdowns the one thing we had been dreaming of was a meal in a pub beer garden. We found the staff lovely and helpful and very quick to take our order once we'd found a table, and although the meal itself took a little longer to arrive than we'd expected that was made up for by (a) the sheer pleasure of sitting outside to eat and (b) the quality of it when it came. Couldn't fault the quality of the food, the price or the ambience - this was the pub garden meal we'd been dreaming of for fifteen long weary months! - and everyone we spoke to was both charming and efficient. Thank you all for making this such a delightful experience!

Very pleasant staff called in for a wine whilst on our walk.we were having sandwiches in the park opposite when we were asked to go over and eat our sandwiches in the garden under heated lamps which was nice thankyou from 3 Happy ramblers

great place, cant wait for it to reopen!

Nice place but staff are breaking COVID rules by not wearing masks or challenging multiple household groups. Will not visit again.

Visited here two Friday afternoons in a row, October 2020. On both occasions we were greeted with a very aggressive: “what do you want” from behind the bar. When looking at the selection of beers on tap we were pressured to get on & make a choice. We were then aggressively asked whether we were all members of the same household (a group of 3). Upon replying no we were told to sit metres apart. Both visits very unpleasant. Do not visit this pub if you want to feel like a valued guest!

Aggressive Unfriendly Service! Visited this pub two Friday afternoons in a row, October 2020. Upon entering we were greeted with an unfriendly and aggressive: “What do you want?” We wanted time to look at the drinks available on tap but on both occasions were pressured to get on and make a choice and sit down so the drinks could be hastily brought to our table. We were then asked if we were members of the same household (group of 3). Upon replying no we were aggressively told to separate and sit metres apart. If you want to feel like a valued guest do not visit this pub! Embarrassing unpleasant experience. We all agreed we will not visit again.

Lovely chilled afternoon on this wet day. Good food.

Very nice, proper local pub in Prestbury. Popped in in the afternoon but lunch service was over, however they very kindly offered to rustle up sandwiches for us, great service.

Spent a very pleasant afternoon at this place recently. Lovely sun trap out the back with easy access. Good choice of beers.will be back

Lovely proper pub, Covid measures in place but not over the top. Highly recommend.

Visited the rodney for lunch , sat outside in the beer garden , found the food very tasty,not as much in quantity as some , but the quality was better than the average pub grub ...there is no meal deal here ..but it was still worth the money ..good beer too could have stayed and had a few more , will visit again

Lovely cold pint in the sunshine x

Absolute lovely place and staff and very helpful indeed and landlord Jeff was very kind to let me park my car at the back of the pub nice people and food was nice to thank you Jason

Good local pub, good priced food

Friendly pub with great beer and no background music

I visited the Rodney as a pit stop on a dog walk with a date...we stayed for a couple of drinks and met the proprietor and his wife who were more than welcoming. The pub made generous provisions for us to sit either in or outside with our dogs, and we sat in a well heated patio area without dogs. Its was lovely. The staff were all very friendly and courteous, coming saying hello to us and our dogs, patrons too...it was very welcoming to a first time visitor. Our drinks were poured well and tasted great, and whilst us humans didnt eat at this visit the owner was more than happy to provide complimentary sausages for the dogs on a cold day! ( wed have happily paid...but would hear of it!) Overall, it was a warm, welcoming and lovely visit to Ye Olde Admiral Rodney that I wouldnt hesitate to repeat! Thanks to proprietors; our dogs felt as welcome as us humans did!

Lovely quirky old pub. Cask ales fantastic!!

Really nice pub. Good beers and nice atmosphere.

Brilliant pub with excellent selection of ales especially real ales

We always go back to the Admiral Rodney. Bert my husband feels comfortable there. He likes the olde world charm and had made friends with many locals.

Great setting. Lovely crowd. Malcolm a gentleman.

Really lovely, traditional pub. Low ceilings, exposed beams and warm fireplaces. Good selection of local and regional ales. Friendly staff and a convivial atmosphere.

Myself and my husband came here a few weeks ago wow it's a lovely place staff are very friendly we have been back and will continue to do so

Nice pub, good beer but steak and kidney pie and peas spent too long in the oven/saucepan - rock hard dry pie and peas like cannonballs. I repeat, though, nice pub for a pint.

Friendly atmosphere and good service

By far the best pub I've been locally

Great little pub with excellent service. We arrived after food had finished. It was really nice of them to prepare food for us. Thanks

Fantastic little pub, we stopped for a beer but food looked great prices were very reasonable

Quaint English pub, good to take foreign visitors to, nice bar staff, good beer

Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was fantastic also. Will be making it a regular place to visit

Very friendly people there. Food was delicious. Plenty of seating and very reasonable prices. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back.
