Ye Olde Kings Head in Cheshire East

We were a bit stuck for lunch and ye olde kings head was the only reasonably priced pub open. The service and food were excellent. They were very welcoming with good portions sizes, and good kids menu. A lovely place to eat. I will definitely eat here again

This place is the saving grace of the mac! The Bass 🔺️ is so close to home (Burton) that I could almost forget I'm 'up norf' .... almost because the food comes in portions enough to feed 3 of me, yet has true skill from the kitchen with quality ingredients, 100% worth a visit, the team are clearly friendly and clow3 n the pub is beautiful not to mention clean, gutted I'm not coming back this way this year to be honest!

What a lovely place! Staff were super friendly, from the telephone booking through to the bar and table service. Interesting beers, tasty food, good value, great service. Highly recommended.

Disappointed by surprise 10% surcharge for "service". Mid-week, solo lunch. I shouldn't have to scrutinise the bill like Scrooge McDuck.

Great pub for any occasion. Ate here for the first time tonight, a beautiful sunday roast. I've been for drinks before and will definitely come and try the weekday menu

We couldn't believe the atmosphere for a Tuesday evening. The place was buzzing. The staff were delightful and there was so much choice on the menu. We all had sweet and sour chicken and it was absolutely delicious and so fresh. We complimented the chef who came to sit with us and he too was delightful. We will be back !

a great pub with a great chef food is fantastic hard to park but a garden centre 4 minute walk away i park in there its a great pub for walkers on the canal

Amazing food and great service with a decent beer selection too. Food is obviously fresh and homemade and really tasty. Staff all helpful and nice.

Called into our favourite pub for a New years Day roast, the fun is a proper pub, not a cloned chain pub, the staff are all brilliant and the food is amazing, highly recommend the Lamb roast

We visited for a family Christmas meal. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I though the food was excellent. Would happily go back again.

Food and beer were average but adding a compulsory 10% service charge was a step too much to be honest. There was no service apart from asking for our order, pulling 2 pints! Deliver 2 plates to the table. £16.95 for a roast lunch if fine but tipping should at the customer discretion. Will not go there again.

The restaurant was busy but the eating area was really well set out and you didn't feel overlooked. The ambiance of the room was great and the old feel of the pub really adds character to the dining experience. I had the sirloin steak, and it was cooked to perfection. Lovely and tender and all the steak is locally sourced to the best of my knowledge. I've eaten here on a number of occasions and have always found the staff friendly, good humoured and helpful. The outside seating area is fantastic as it's heated in the winter as well so you can still sit out. Can definitely recommend for a good hearty pub meal.

My husband and I visited for lunch on a really hot Saturday afternoon and we were both extremely impressed with the food and overall service. The landlady brought out water for everyone sat outside to make sure no one got dehydrated which we thought was a lovely touch. Great for gluten free and they even had a choice of white or brown gluten free bread (which never happens!). We will definitely be back - thank you!

The chef recommended salmon and king prawns in Thermadore sauce and it was gorgeous. My husband had a pork T-bone steak and sweet potato wedges which was a big portion and he said was so tasty! Our daughter in law decided to have a hot steak and onion bap with salad and gave it a big thumbs up. The staff were all very pleasant and would recommend to anyone. The menu was very varied and something for everyone we will definitely be returning

had the sunday dinner and it was fantastic my wife had the fish cakes wow big portions but so tasty this pub never lets us down and staff are lovely kept stroking our dog and bringing him treats

Incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. Wonderful food. We arrived just before the kitchen closed and with my mum in a wheelchair and there wasn’t much space. The staff and customers couldn’t have done more to help.

Good choice of food; The steak and onion sandwich was lovely, but the chips were undercooked and inedible, we did mention this to the waitress and she just said oh dear. Mix up with our prebooked table but easily sorted. Nice atmosphere but parking is problematic

Great place for a Family party the buffet was absolutely amazing at a great price the Staff went out of there way to make it special the chef should have I Michelin star I can't recommend this pub enough.

Probably the best pub in Macclesfield! The staff are really welcoming and friendly, and the team that Sally runs is very professional at the same time. The menu is extensive, with excellent choice of daily specials each day. The service is quick and efficient, given the fact that quite often there are plenty of people there. It is 'more than' dog friendly, going out of their way to fuss dogs, and provide water and treats. Outside covered seating is available for the warmer days - and being able to eat outdoors just adds to the overall experience. And the food is always freshly prepared, superbly tasty and never disappoints. As a pensioner I really appreciate the smaller portion Sunday Roast - excellent! So - if you haven't been then put it on your list - you will probably end up regulars like us - but at busy times, like weekends, you need to book to avoid disappointment!

This pub is great food great beer and nightmare parking. The old carpark has been converted into a well designed outdoor seeing area that offers both sun and shade. The parking is very limited street parking with a tiny carpark with ground clearance issues. The best place to park is in macc and walk along the canal.

What a fabulous pub, brilliant staff, nothing too much trouble for them. We had the Sunday roast, I had lamb and my husband had beef, absolutely gorgeous, lovely veg, lots of meat and gravy, the best we have had in a pub in years.

Amazing Day at the Coronation party, great music, talented singers, amazing staff, delicious food, plentiful wine and Dog friendly. What’s not to love about Ye Olde Kings Head

My friend and I went for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We both had the steak and ale pie...the fod was piled high and the gravy was to die for. Just as importantly, the 2 ladies who served us (apologies, I didnt get your names) were super friendly and welcoming. Although we had to park a little way up the road it certainly wouldn't put us off returning!

Not been here since it changed hands, so wasn't sure what to expect. Well the food was lovely, we both had the lamb dinner, very good quality and above average portions. Nice to have roast potatoes AND mash, normally you only get one. Thank you, will call again.

My wife, daughter and I enjoyed a wonderfully cooked lunch at this lovely pub with friendly team & lovely warm ambience. Lovely country pub serving a core range of lunch favourites with lots of families and friends with dogs enjoying a warm sunny day with horses passing by to give the countryside setting. We ordered 3 gourmet burgers with homemade chutney, coleslaw & warm brioche bun with mozzarella cheese & beautifully cooked chips. Very tasty, appealing to the eye & generous portions…….perfection!

This is our favourite place to eat, My husband and I went for lunch and as usual the food was delicious, The staff are lovely and really friendly, The atmosphere is great, fantastic background music, spotlessly clean, A beautiful all round great experience x

Enjoyed a lovely relaxed meal. Highly recommended. We will definitely be returning. Parking is a little difficult, but definitely worth a visit 💗🥂

I first visited this pub in 1976 when it was owned by Dick and Vi. Over the years it has changed structurally and the service offered . Today I went for lunch with friends, six of us, and we had a very decent pub meal...

Just popped in for lunch & a pint on a lovely sunny day. An extensive menu with lots of specials. Had a delicious Barnsley chop washed down with a Wincle Waller. Perfect and great service from the ladies.

Really disappointed, we was recommended this place for a good Sunday lunch and what a disappointment! We shared a hot fish sharing platter to start which was ok plenty of fish but the prawns were Iceland or similar frozen . I asked for a mixed...

We visited in December, the place was very busy and there was a rowdy crowd in the tents outside who had been drinking and were not social distancing. Someone threw a mobile phone which hit me on the leg. The staff were very friendly but...

Great staff, very friendly and always on hand for the customer....and the food was fabulous, Had the gammon meal and it was one of the best i've ever had. Would go here everyday if i could afford it (haha)

We turned up and got a table outside and had steak and proper chips. The food was great and the staff were really friendly. Lots of happy people out and about. Felt like a meal out from pre COVID, which is what we all need.

Visited with friends and sat outside for drinks and a meal. All staff were friendly and helpful and service was excellent. We all enjoyed our meals and our time here. Lots of choice off main menu and specials board. m

Celebrated my husband's retirement! Superb meal, excellent service, AS ALWAYS and wonderfully friendly staff! Cannot fault this place and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone! Will most definitely be returning, a truly beautiful and quaint country pub!

Sat at the front in the lovely sunshine and was thankful to enjoy the best green thai curry I've ever had. Accompanied with perfect chips and a dish of rice. The service was warm and ever so friendly. Thank you

Friendly Service, excellent menu and specials choices, delicious well presented food 😋 Happy to recommend and to visit again...

We stopped here on the first day of our canal barge holiday after seeing the sign canal side. We saw that there were good trip advisor reviews so gave it a go and we’re not disappointed. We had a table outside, there were plenty of...

Great food and service. Gammon very good. Partners Bream was massive and tasted lovely. Lots of sides. Lovely veg. Large portion and reasonable pricing. Thanks for hanging on to reopen. Parking on road ok. A bit cool indoors but very pleasant evening.

Day 4 of week 1 for the pubs in this ridiculous roadmap born out of a Christmas 'free for all' (just saying....). I'd checked out the arrangements on day 1 and it was great to see everyone out, certainly a 'lockout' in the evening! The...

Pre booked for my birthday Sunday lunch. Was amazing from the food to the staff. Felt so safe and looked after. Good choice of food had the roast beef, clean plates all around. Thanks to all for making the day special.

Called on speck after re-opening outside. Didn't dine, just enjoyed a nice beer sat facing the road. It can be very busy though, so be prepared to be disappointed in getting a seat

Back home after a lovely lunch with my husband & family, obviously observing they rule of 6 and dining outside. The way they have set themselves during this difficult time is spot on. John & his team are very well organised and the pub and...

Whilst walking along the canal we stopped for a break at this great pub. Staff were brilliant and the way they have set themselves up during Covid is fantastic. Would stop at this pub again!

Came for lunch yesterday. Lovely staff and the best pub lasagne I’ve ever had. Fantastic that green curry aswell. Such good value for high quality food. Can’t wait to return!

Being a traditional curry man, i normally shy awake from thai curries, but on this occasion i broke the rule and was glad i did. It was really enjoyable and i would highly reccomend.

What a great pub, absolutely bustling (as much as you can bustle at a social distance). Landlord very friendly and attentive. Bar staff and table service brilliant. Nice beer, good food and a reasonable price. Highly recommend.

I visited for lunch with my mum, partner and daughter. Upon arrived we had a very warm and friendly welcome.We all chose a different meal (gammon, burger and cheese and onion pie - the child just had a couple of sides for her meal)Everything was piping hot, freshly made and absolutely delicious! We took our drinks and dessert outside as my daughter started getting fidgety and we didn’t want to disrupt the other customers. Outside in the marquee was just as comfortable. The landlady even supplied my daughter with a free ice cream, which was so, so generous.I couldn’t rate this place higher, we’ll absolutely be back, next time possibly via taxi and without children so I can also sample a few of their fine ales! Thank you again for a wonderful visit.

Can't fault this place, great food, menu on board so no need to handle menus, very organised one way system in place, seating outside is good, plenty of signs, hand sanitiser and rules in place.Staff really friendly, drinks served at the bar and you just collect them.Can get busy outside at times.Would recommend.

First visit since lockdown and we were not dissapointed. Roast pork was perfectly cooked and had both roast and new potatoes, a bit of a rarity nowadays.

Best scampi and chips I've ever had in my life. Superb. Staff and landlord fantastic too. Will be back.

went today after dog walk ,not been since last year ,what a difference the staff were attentive and friendly ,only had a drink but will try food next time .The new beer garden is amazing ,first visit to pub after lockdown and felt totally safe ,one way system works well,see you during the week and best of luck

We had a great evening tonight. The pub had proper social distancing measures in place, the Timothy Taylors was excellent and the food really good. Well done all concerned.

Passed here whilst out walking during lockdown and chatted with the owner who was having a cuppa outside his closed pub. The day after the pubs reopened I extended a short walk just to call in and have a pint. The car park had been converted well with artificial grass and benches with umbrellas.Owner directing customers at the front door; hand sanitiser, perspex screens, friendly staff, one taking order and payment, the other serving the drinks. One way system out to the back.Pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord, only one ale at present, crisps and sat outside in the moderate sunshine with about a dozen other people. Social distancing fully respected.I hope people do support the pubs at this difficult time, perfectly safe environment here, I think we're calling in tomorrow.

Another 2 visits with different people, one 5 circles and the other 4 but as only one criticism and so many positives, it's still a 5.Brought another of my neighbours and the owners really made a fuss of him, he's 99 this year and we had such a laugh. Even his comment about it being like Crufts was taken in good jest. If you've got a well behaved dog, this is the place, they all seem to get along and just loll around on the floor.On my next visit we were away from the fire and it wasn't warm enough, perhaps it was just late afternoon and hadn't got warmed up but we longed to be by the fire.I had the Bass on this occasion and it was really good, A Bass from the past you might say ....I'll get my coat (I needed it)

This used to be my favourite pub some 5 to 10 years ago. Whilst it is still somewhat early days in this latest chapter, it has once again become my 'go to' pub for food and a drink in Macclesfield. Nice beer, nice staff with a welcoming atmosphere and so far excellent food! In a town that is largely in decline in most areas [particularly regarding shops, pubs etc] this one really is worth supporting with your custom: I certainly will.

Oddly enough we had passed this pub many times over the years while driving or walking along the canal yet never ventured inside. Once across the threshold we were charmed by its convivial, homely atmosphere and the welcome we received from the staff and its patrons with whom we were soon engaged in conversation. The food turned out to be as good as the welcome. My wife chose her ‘benchmark meal’ of fish and chips and I opted, cautiously, for roast ham with eggs and chips. Both meals were cooked and presented to perfection. The battered fish was excellent the ham, tasty and tender but the chips were a triumph. Later we relaxed and chatted over a very pleasant cup of coffee.The menu offers traditional pub fare, at prices which are a copper or two more than one might expect to pay but if the standard of the food is maintained across the piece then we would certainly wish to explore it further

Lovely warm friendly staff and patrons , nice roaring fire on a cold day , great ale, superb food, highly recommend The Steak with Port and Stilton sauce - it was supreme! Lots of variety on the menu , maybe a few more veggie options needed? Dog friendly . Nice cosy atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Went here with friends,to be greeted with a very warm welcome from everyone. We ordered our food which was fabulous especially the cheese pie, proper homemade pastry with loads of lovely filling. We had a lovely evening and would definitely recommend to friends and family.Thanks again.

Visited for the first time today. Great atmosphere, lovely food and really friendly staff. Couldn't fault it. Hopefully going back next Sunday for a roast dinner. Highly recommend.

Been here a couple of times for lunch. Nothing is too much trouble for the very friendly staff. Food is home cooked, good portion size and great value for money. Being dog friendly is a big bonus too. Highly recommend a visit.

Came down the steps from the canal to be greeted by the most welcoming staff. Went to wash my hands to find the cleanest toilets (with a jar of daffodils!) The menu was a problem - so many delicious dishes - never mind the specials! We ate like Kings. The ale was well kept and the house wine very quaffable.We were bowled over by the friendly, attentive service that was never more than needed but just right. The food and drinks were A* and the subtle, ambient music was superb.Would come here again in a heartbeat. Thoroughly recommend.

Out for a beer with one of my neighbours and he suggested this pub as recently he'd enjoyed a successful family meal. I had only ever been twice a long time ago; once for a cheap and cheerful Sunday lunch and once to have a drink outside.Really blown away when we entered the pub, lovely fire and beautifully furnished. To add to that, there were a few ales to chose from and I really enjoyed the Timothy Taylor Landlord, a classic. My friend was not so keen and moved onto Bass, another classic which he said was good.Must visit here to dine soon.

A cosy, friendly little gem. Big warm welcome as soon as we walked in, lovely atmo with local customers evidently well known to the staff. Log fire roaring and scattered with contented dogs. Service was attentive, food was very prompt and delicious with perfect portion sizes. Very reasonable prices, just a shame we didn't have room to sample the dessert menu.Gutted that it isn't our local as we'd be in all the time. Fantastic place, does all the basics (great food and warm atmosphere) spot on and adds character on top. Hats off to the guys who run the place. Just lovely.

Came in with family for a meal and there was 8 of us plus a small child. The staff were incredible as soon as we waled through the door, set us up in our own corner with a high chair as we requested and we're greeted very kindly. The food was absolutely amazing from the starter through to the dessert. Can not wait to come back and try different dishes.

We have just had roast beef for Sunday lunch and it could not be faulted. The beef was beautifully cooked and presented. The Bass ale to accompany the meal was in top condition, the fire was warm and cosy and we could not hope for a better experience. Thank you.

We have eaten here on numerous occasions since the new owners have taken over.

On the back of some excellent reviews we called for a meal. Lovely friendly welcome, roaring fire and good selection of beers. Maybe i was expecting to much, but both our meals were a bit bland, and lacked the wow factor. In fairness the lady next to me had the same as me (gammon) and said hers was lovely.

Usually go to the well known place up the road but thought we'd try Kings Head for a change. Brilliant traditional pub, good beer, dog friendly, roaring fire and genuinely home cooked food which was excellent especially the pie. The proprietors were lovely and made us feel very welcome. Well done guys we will enjoy coming back.

Went in with my daughter and son in Law and enjoyed some really nice food and ale. My kindest regards to the new Landlords.

Our walking group visited this pub and everyone in the group thought the home cooked food was excellent. The people running the pub have only recently taken it on and deserve every success. They were very friendly and I look forward to our next visit.

Went with family excellent menu fresh fish something for everyone. The owners are so welcoming and our little dog made welcome x

Had a great meal with the family, food was excellent and service good. Thanks to John and the team. Fish was first class and would recommend the Kings Head as a great pub and eatery

Absolutely fantastic!!! Friendly atmosphere and the food was beautiful. Highly recommended and can’t wait for my next visit.

I ate here with my family at the weekend and was very impressed with the standard of the food. Also friendly staff, a great pub !
