The best restaurants in Macclesfield South Cheshire East North West

Lovely warm welcome, shown straight to table and given the festive menu and normal one. We all choose off the normal member and the food arrived piping hot, with lovely fresh veg. The chunky chips were wonderful as well. Would thoroughly recommend

Called in for my lunch, large variety all freshly made to order, great staff, and parking

Great location, feels like it been there for hundreds of years, it’s got bags of character and a nice menu.

Lovely location, after walking around the adjacent reservoir we had an excellent meal and fantastic welcome from John and family The bar was dog friendly. We will definitely return .

Great Chinese, have recently moved to the area and have tried a few Chinese’s. This one was definitely the best so far and will be ordering regularly

Pass here often out walking and not ventured in since last year. Spotted the generously filled custard slice and went for it. Friendly people, efficient service and the tables are cleaned after each visit. Mug of tea and the custard slice was delicious, like they all used to be when I was growing up.

Great place, friendly warm atmosphere

Had food here twice now, will be going back as food is great and service is good

Mass has the most delightful manner and is friendly can't do enough for you. Food and service is brilliant. A brilliant takeaway.

Very helpful team and two excellent fast pool tables

If you're a regular business hotel user and familiar with Premier Inn, dont book this one. Go and stay at the Holiday Inn by the train station in town, as this place is dreadful in comparison. The rooms are tired, as in 80s tired, the staff are not bothered about keeping good housekeeping. Oh, and if you want breakfast before you're setting off in the morning, then don't expect anything before 7:15, or as reception happily commented, theyre never ready until 7:30. Dreadful place.

A group of 23 of us booked for the Christmas 3 course meal. The booking was for 7pm and it took the staff until after 8 pm to start bringing the Starters to us in dribs and Drabs. We were advised the Vegetable soup was not available and we're offered 3 alternatives. One of which turned out to be not available. 1 person did not like the alternatives to the soup but was not offered anything else or her money back for this. The main courses arrived again after the staff not clearing the tables and again in dribs and drabs. The cranberry sauce arrived after most people had finished there meals. The Turkey was beautifully cooked but the Salmon was overcooked, Some of the vegetables were more than slightly Al dente and some cold. Again the tables were not cleared properly and the sweets arrived again in dribs and drabs. We were not offered the option of brandy sauce for the Christmas puddings and the pitiful amount of Custard that was to shared between everyone was very disappointing. The overall experience ended around 10.30 meaning it had taken 3 and a half hours to serve 3 courses if food. There were only 3 staff we could see in the premises and they seemed to be trying to cook and serve at the same time. They appear to be prioritising walk in customers and blamed this partially on the poor service and lack of staff allowed to work by the management. Finally the Cheese and biscuits ordered specially for two people and confirmed the day before were not brought out and we were told that was only available on Christmas day. We shall not be booking this again! Please think carefully before booking a large party for a meal.

We held a joint 60/80 party here and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff are brilliant and extremely helpful from all correspondence to the night. We had about 30 ppl for a small do and they were brilliant letting us come earlier even though half of our party did end up staying to the late! The food was exceptional the steak ale pie was devine and had our guests talking about it for weeks after! Compliments to the chef! Lovely party area, when decorated with balloons and banners it was a really good atmosphere, the bar were happy to play music on Spotify all night. Really spacious and just a really lovely evening. Great hospitality. Deffo worth considering for a function.

Just had a great meal and dessert,with my wife Lindsey, in what was a very busy night, but looked after by the lovely Leah, who ensured that what we ordered was planned to perfection. So well done to the chefs and bar staff for a great meal and spot on service. Eric Speakman.

Had a lovely visit to the flower pot on Tuesday evening great atmosphere went with family the waitress told us it was fish and chip Tuesday we all had the special it was lovely and for the bargain price of £9.99 each definitely recommend we will be going again shortly
