Ye Olde Kings Head in Cheshire East

We stopped in on a recent trip up the English canals, invited in by some charming folks on the tow-path. It was amazing. Exceptional food, both modern and classic. A wide range of tasty gluten free. Kind and helpful staff that warmly welcomed us on a grey and muddy day. Lovely guests who engaged us in lively banter in a cozy dining nook in front of an open fire. A chef who checked on us during the meal and then upon hearing from the wait staff that I'd never had a sausage roll, appalled, he sent me one from the kitchen gratis. Thanks all. You are beautiful. We loved it.

Fun locals pub serving a few ales. Historic building near the canal. Outside seating. 🍻 👑

We had Barbary Duck and Katsu Curry. Both dishes were great and different from the usual pub grub.

It was my first time of visiting the pub after a few years and I was impressed with the location. I had the fish, chips and mushy peas and it was impressive. Large plate full and overall good value. The service was friendly and professional.

Came here to try their Sunday (Beef) roast, ordered 2 of these and chicken goujons. The service and staff were friendly and attentive - good service. The food was decent, we enjoyed it all. The vegetables were fresh, a good size amount of meat and tasty potatoes. The goujons also appeared home made. Good quality food and service.

2 lovely meals happy friendly staff would highly recommend

It was OK. Nothing major good or bad. Generous portions I suppose is a good thing to say. Food was OK. Dining area was lit way too bright for some reason. I'd go again but wouldn't go out of my way if you know what I mean. Tip was added automatically which I'm never a fan of.

Didn’t eat any food, but what was being served looked fantastic. Just enjoyed a couple of real ales. Service was very very good.

What a great pub, the staff were excellent very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Food was good pub food, it didn’t get five stars as the chips were anaemic and the cheese burger was lacking cheese and needed a bit more to make it to a good burger.

Just had one of the best ham sandwiches of my life! Service was prompt and pleasant too! Very nice pub in lovely surroundings!

A lively, friendly pub with great food and beer. When we arrived they had live music which was great. Staff were friendly and offered table service and a tab. There are lots of choices on the board as well as a regular menu. My wife really enjoyed her Mezze so highly recommended.

Beautiful pint of Bass 🔺️ (take it from a Burton boy) have it with the sparkler off its kept that well it dosnt need it. The food hits the nail and the portions are massive, definitely worth a visit

Fantastic pub, really friendly staff! Lovely food and great beer!

Just had a great Sunday Roast. Plentiful supply of lean, succulent beef with loads of gravy and veg... The lovely wife had the Meze which was also outstanding. We then shared an Eton Mess with a side order of hot custard. Service was super attentive with lots of smiles. Better than any Maccy D's... Just superb...

Staff are so friendly and the food is great & all home cooked! Perfect country pub!

Great food and beer, good value for money. T bone pork steak for £14.95 was very well cooked served with sweet potato chips and chilli mayo sauce.

Watch out for surprise surcharge of 10% for "staff tip" during off peak, one person meal. Venue is nice, food is ok. Clean. Not worth 10% extra on bill though.

Had lunch today with my friend. The service was excellent the lady who served us was really helpful. The food was amazing. This is my favourite pub for food in the area. I've been 6 times at lunch time and it's always been brilliant. Thanks to all the staff.

One of the best pubs I’ve been to! Lovely outdoor setup, really friendly staff, good atmosphere and absolutely delicious food - above and beyond what you might expect. Loads of vegetarian options and everything was cooked perfectly. Can’t recommend highly enough.

The food was really good & we enjoyed a delicious lunch. But the bill total seemed to be £10 too much. On checking, it had been added incorrectly. I was surprised to find that they automatically added 10% service charge, without being notified, for food & drink, even though we went & got drinks from the bar. So, make sure you take it into account when budgeting for your visit.

Great pub. Great portion sizes. Great staff.

Still a great pub to visit and always serve freshly cooked food at great prices. The staff are as friendly as ever. Also added extra outside covered seating area. Well worth a visit.

Had a great Sunday lunch here recently - lovely place and lots of outside seating. Will be back!

Nice beers at good prices, great outdoor spaces, friendly staff.

Been a couple of times now for lunch and dinner and always top notch food, ales and service. Lovely pub inside and out, once you've found somewhere to park. Dog friendly too, in fact everyone is friendly.

Exemplorary in every way. Really good proper pub. Great food and amazing customer service. Look forward to visiting again!

Stopped by 7th April Friday afternoon. Just for a snack, I ordered the ham sandwich and Hubby had the three cheese sandwich, we ordered the chips as a side just incase the sandwiches were small. But we needn't have bothered. The sandwiches were quite large served with salad and coleslaw. And the brown bread roll wow very crusty (was it homemade) not had a sandwich like that ever. Really enjoyed it. And will be back definitely.

Great beer snd atmosphere. Foods OK chips r never golden brown.

Sunday dinner never disappoints and its a lovely place to bring the dog and family with being on the canal walk. Always a good atmosphere.

Lovely staff and great atmosphere, perfect place to watch the rugby

Went for mothers day a treat from my 2 sons ,there was 6 adults and 4 kids we all had a wonderful meal ,highly recommend this place ,the staff are lovely .thanks for a wonderful meal

Charming country pub with great food

Lovely pub in a lovely little village, we had the fish and chips, mushy peas and hand cut chips, was delicious.

Lovely friendly welcome, we'd booked which I was pleased we had as it was quite busy even on a Monday lunchtime. Service excellent, food delicious, very dog friendly (including dog treats on the mantelpiece!) what more can I say?!

Delicious risotto and steak and ale pie. Gorgeous chips and delicious,flavoursome gravy. We'll come again.

Seems a nice pub. Nice seating area outside to sit with dogs outside and heaters keep you warm. Only downside was that its used as a smoking area by the locals 🤧

Excellent food and service. Would have been 5 stars across the board but the room was a little cold. Maybe get that big range fire going on cold days.

What an excellent pub. We were made welcome as soon as we walked through the door, great service (thank you Emma). Excellent food and a great range of beers, Timothy Taylor’s Landlord being excellent. Dog friendly too. We recommend this pub of character.

One of our favourite places to go! Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere! Also love the heated outdoor area, lovely pub would definitely recommend

We absolutely love The Kings Head! Our go-to spot for weekend walks – the welcoming staff and cozy atmosphere make it a fantastic place to be. A bonus that the outdoor area is suited to any weather, meaning we don’t have to de-layer to stop for a quick pint, and can sit nice and warm under the heated shelter. Whether it's a family outing or any occasion, the amazing food and friendly atmosphere never disappoint. Highly recommend!

A lovely place to visit. Welcoming and friendly staff, dog friendly, which is a massive bonus We were all made to feel extremely comfortable. The food! Absolutely delicious, the beef was the softest and most beautifully cooked I have ever tasted in nearly 40 years. You should all be very proud. Well done and thank you. The local community appreciates your hard work.

The pub was so cosy and the staff welcoming, really enjoyed our visit. Superb chips.

Lovely pub, staff are friendly and welcoming, food was superb and has a great outdoor seating arrangement.

Wonderful pub, amazing staff - so friendly, gorgeous fire. Lovely mince pies when paid the bill… such a festive touch. Highly recommend.

I didn't eat there but as I was passing through on a narrowboat I decided to go and have a leisurly pint. This pub is my ideal of the relaxed pub of long ago. I was made to feel welcome by the bar staff and also the regulars there. It has a certain relaxed buzz with a steady stream of customers each adding a little bit mor to the atmosphere. A totaly engaging and lovey pub that I will go to again. And maybe go and eat there too.

Lovely location just off the canal! Lovely staff always making us feel welcome and also so accommodating! Reasonable prices for such lovely home made food!

What a WONDERFUL evening! All the staff are so friendly and attentive and the food was simply out of this world! The lasagne was delightful and the Veg Gratin (recommended from their Instagram) was to die for. I can’t believe it was all homemade and so reasonably priced; you’d expect to pay top top prices for food this good - and the warmest of welcomes from the Kings Head team just simply tops it off! Nothing was too much trouble - even when the beer had reached the end of the barrel, the girls just replaced it immediately (p.s. the beer is kept excellently)

Gorgeous wee pub and lovely staff members, always a warm welcome. The food is fab! Get ya self down there

Staff, service and food are brilliant! We are always made to feel so welcome and the staff are excellently attentive. The food is absolutely out of this world and our dog gets more attention than we do!

i am absolutely delighted with the service i received today and the welcoming environment. Will definitely be coming back. Thankyou so much x 100% recommend

Fantastic pub, even better staff. The food is brilliant and always have numerous specials on offer which is constantly changing. We will be visiting again

Had lunch here, fishcakes were more like mashed potato cakes and overcooked and dry. The place was freezing cold, our entire party kept their coats and scarves on all through our visit. All in all a very poor experience and definitely wouldn't bother to return.

Staff were so friendly to us and our toddler and our two dogs! Sunday roast and dessert were fantastic! So fresh and cooked to perfection, full of flavour. Beautiful, clearly home cooked food and desserts.

Can't understand why at present only 4.7. This is a proper locals pub with great selection of real ales and an excellent menu with happy and friendly staff.

Lovely pub, nice friendly staff and great food.

Good food good service. By Sally

This was a lovely quiet pub (week night when I went) Lovely people behind the bar. Lovely food, with a wide range on offer and lots of specials. Just the right level service, helpful, polite but not overly nagging you for next course or drink. Probably only minor point is due to narrow street there is only on street parking. but spaces usually 300m up the road. would recommend

Great atmosphere and full at Saturday afternoon

I did an event here on a theme night, amazing people and staff! What a gorgeous pub! And Emily Kat and Paul such friendly hosts! Great atmosphere! Check this place out!!! Hopefully see you soon again! 😊

Super helpful staff - gave great recommendations. Veggie rissotto was great and meat eater friends raved about the pork. Lovely old pub. Nice beers. What is not to like. Just a little more custard with the lovely plum crumble please 😎

Really enjoyed our few hours there, food was excellent, friendly staff and a very popular pub

Great pub good food, excellent staff, a really nice place

Great Sunday lunch, great friendly service.

First time going, had mixed grill, best one have had in quite a while, very good value for money. Staff lovely and friendly and dog friendly 😊😊

10/10. Stopped for a random pint and came back a few hours later as the atmosphere is so nice. Ordered onion rings, lamb kofta, scampi, sponge pudding and Madri. Absolutely fantastic. The landlord Paul is running a great pub and amazing bar staff. Will be back very soon!! Also brought our dog, treats provided and a very cute outdoor seating area 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Belting little pub. All staff were positive smiling happy willing to help and make feel comfortable. Very noce atmosphere. Good Guiness and good food. Really nice pleasant lunch!!

Lovely pub, really nice pub food, great atmosphere and service. Bit difficult to park though

Had an impromptu Sunday lunch with wife and granddaughter aged 2 and nothing was too much trouble despite them being busy. Excellent food including kids meal which has ice cream dessert included in the price. And Timothy Taylor's Landlord too. Also provided colouring paper and pencils. Will definitely be back

We'd booked for 11 people as a lunch stop on a canal boat trip, so couldn't be sure of timings or even how many people until the day before. We were asked to put our order in the day before or latest the morning of our visit, which was fine, and everything not only went very smoothly, but was really delicious. They do a smallish (but not too small) menu extremely well. Service was excellent too. Thanks so much.

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!

I went to this pub on Sunday 29 July 2018. We arrived late but nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our meals came quickly and the service was great.

My friend and I visited here after trying to find a dog friendly gastro pub and we spotted it at the last minute. So glad we did! The pub is really cosy inside and staff were so welcoming.

Llamado para una comida con un amigo.

Sigo tratando este lugar bajo distintos dueños que así quieren que sea buena, pero de alguna manera, simplemente nunca impresiona. La comida era casi ciertamente superficial aunque estaba caliente y el precio era estupendo. Una buena ubicación si no eres demasiado quisquilloso un día.

El pub ha vuelto a abrir sus puertas bajo nueva dirección después de un cierre que creo duró unos pocos meses.

Este establecimiento ha luchado durante años y se apaga. Una vez una histórica lucha de autobús, parece que hoy día, con tráfico de coches bomba pasado y nunca prestar atención a qué era una preciosa lugareña. Sin embargo, no hay mucho en el camino de acceso minusválidos personas, aparcamiento o alojamiento, así que el Sutton Hall y la Iglesia Casa conseguir la participación que el King's Head se merece.

En un llamado a tomar disputé con vistas a comer el domingo siguiente.

Excellent food and service. Good selection of specials and standards with frequent speciality nights. Great value and quality. Excellent location down a set of steps from the Macclesfield Canal. Pub dog friendly and clientele a good mix of locals and boaters.

Brilliant little boozer, pubs are to die for, especially the sausage, black pudding and mushroom. Quiz nights a good laugh too! Would recommend!

Came with friends on 27/08/16 for a catch up with friends. Our meal came quickly and we were very pleased with the speed and quality of the meal. Food was tasty and well cooked. Overall a very pleasant evening and we will visit again.

Nice pub, very welcoming and friendly service . Enjoyed the special beef storganoff, beef stir fry and lamb burger. Nice varied menu Very attentive and food was very tasty. Nice atmosphere and not too noisy so easy to chat.

Went out for tea with my husband, he had the gammon egg and chips , I had the 10oz steak and chips , wasn't worth nearly£18 pounds for a very chewy fatty steak, with frozen chunky chips a few mushrooms and a tomato covered in cracked black pepper , have a alergy to pepper, my husbands gammon steak was fatty too , his was priced at nearly £11 pounds , nice friendly staff but my food was a let down , won't be going again

Moored here after a hard day on the locks and found this brilliant little pub. The prawns and the chicken liver pate starters were delicious. The special sea bass excellent and I had the best fish and chips ever. Too bad we don't live near.

Stopped in here during our canal holiday. Very nice pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord, great food and friendly service. Recommend the Saturday night food offer of 2 sirloin steaks and a bottle of wine for £25

The staff were very friendly and nothing was any trouble. All our meals were lovely and served on hot plates. Always a plus! Would definitely recommend. They catered for our party of 25 efficiently and with a smile.

Nice little pub serving some great food. The staff we were served by were all great, friendly and offered superb service. Food was very good. Only problem was our dishes came with skinny fries and chunky chips on the wrong meals, usually this would knock down to 3 or 2 in my rating for a simple order but the rest of the experience overrode this on this occasion and I'm sure the staff would have quickly resolved if we'd asked. Visit this pub.

a company walk around Sutton was ended at the kings head ,it finished the day off a treat soup,sandwiches and plenty of real ale, all superb a credit to the owners a real gem hidden away,will be back soon

I visit the pub often and always have something to eat because teh food is great, the staff are friendly and its clean and fresh

Have just moved back to the area and thought I would share my thoughts revisiting places I used to go into. Wish I hadn't bothered. Went to the Kings last night, it was busy and there were a few people eating and a few people with dogs in. That's the only nice thing I can say about it. In between the main bar and the restaurant area, there were 10 or so young lads sharing about 3 pints between them. The language was foul and loud. It was obvious that other customers weren't enjoying the place either as I looked around. It looked more like a hang out for apprentice drug dealers or really bad track suit catalogue models. I wouldn't bother going if I were you, I won't be again

Four of us went for an evening meal and on the whole the experience was very good. The staff are excellent - very friendly and efficient and the decor is cosy and inviting. The food was mainly very good with a couple of exceptions. The two men in our party had the burgers which were excellent and came with onion rings, bbq sauce, salad and fries. They were home made, good size and not at all fatty. My friend and I had lamb casserole. The flavour was excellent and the gravy good and thick the only problem was that a number of pieces of the lamb were quite tough and my friend in particular had to leave quite some of the meat. The casserole came with carrots and red cabbage which were great but the broccoli also served looked quite yellowish and did not appear to be as fresh as it should be. I would definitely go back as overall the quality of the meals, the pricing and the ambience made it an enjoyable evening.

Very good food and beer. Decor was warm and welcoming. Staff were very pleasant. We both had the pork medallions as other choices were off the menu sadly. But there was nothing wrong with what we had. Very good standard for pub food.

Spotlessly clean food tasty but my husband was still hungry after his food nice cosy pub but not sure ill go again

Superb food served by very friendly staff in a lovely relaxing atmosphere at very reasonable prices.We visited as a party of four and didnt have a single thing we could have noted as a downside. Everything is home made and the combinations of flavours are great.Truly worth a visit and we will definitely return

I hadn't visited the Olde Kings Head for years and was pleasantly surprised at the refurbishment, decor and friendly atmosphere. We were a group of around a dozen and had reserved a table on a Friday evening. We were provided with our own space just off the main dining area. There was plenty to choose from the menu. The starters went down well and the mains were generously portioned. I sampled a tasty veggie burger which came with a huge portion of fries and salad. The sea bass was also popular as was the lasagne and steak. All the dishes were reasonably priced too. Luckily we arrived fairly early in the evening and found somewhere to park but, with a small area for car parking beside the pub, later comers would have to find spaces alongside a fairly narrow road with restricted parking. This was the only potential downside to this rediscovered pub experience. I would like to try again for lunch mid week when maybe it is easier to park.

Went for a meal with my friend on a Monday and had the pie and pint deal for £10. I had the steak and ale and my friend the pepperd pork they were superb and all the staff were incredibly friendly! Definitely coming again.

I visited with a few girlfriends last Saturday and had a lovely meal, excellent value for money and we were served by friendly staff nothing was to much trouble and we had an added bonus of live music during the evening which made it even better. We will all be returning soon.

I came with a friend for her birthday and had a 3 course meal and it was lovely nothing wrong with it whatsoever! Staff were absolutely superb!

visited tonight for the first time,we tried the steak offer 2 superb steaks well cooked and the wine was 1st class staff had a smile on their faces,stayed and had another bottle.See you soon kings head

Lovely pub, super food very friendly staff. 6 of us came here for to fish Friday it was fantastic will be back very soon.

Visited today for lunch with family, and really can't fault the service at all! We were a fairly large group (8+ baby) and often prone to our own little tweaks (I.e. Gravy on the side etc). Despite the fact that it can probably be a little irritating, we were served with a smile and the waitress was very accommodating. The food was delicious, the roast lamb in particular was superb! Having visited previously just couldn't miss off a pudding, which was again sublime! Recommend wholeheartedly and will certainly visit again.
