Reviews in Macclesfield

This restaurant exceeds all expectations. It is wonderful in every way.

Superb Sunday roast & the service was brilliant. Although the restaurant was full, we were not left waiting or unattended. The staff were friendly & helpful, highly recommended

Friendly attentive staff, lovely surroundings, delicious food. Would recommend.

The Lilac Cottage at the Chestergate Hotel can be summed up in one word....superb. It's run by a husband & wife team (who's names I inadvertently forgot to ask) the wife does front of house assisted by a great team of young but professional staff, who are all very friendly & approachable. The husband is the chef & delivers food of an outstanding quality, tapas as tapas should be every dish beautifully cooked. The decor is beautiful which sits well with the building it is in. The atmosphere is very chilled & it's nice to be able to chat to the staff who are attentive. This is now our go to restaurant in Macclesfield & I can only see it going from strength to strength.

Excellent food and excellent service - as usual!

Came here last week. Service was excellent and restaurant very nicely decorated and welcoming. Food really lovely but massively overpriced for lamb chops for two. £30 and 6 arrived on some salad! Very expensive. Wether this is because of the postcode I don't know but it certainly won't make me go back anytime soon.

We had a very happy evening at the Lilac Cottage this week. It was a family reunion with guests from over the pond. The food was delicious and we had a delightful waitress.

This was the first time visiting this restaurant and I can't fault it. A wonderful meal, service was excellent

We came into the restaurant for the first time for lunch on Friday and were overwhelmed by the service and food. My friend and I are real foodies and she has a dairy intolerance which the chef adapted her food to enable her to enjoy and not have to simply make do because they could not be bothered. We will definately be back and have spread the word to our friends as to what a fantastic experience we had.

A very warm welcome into this beautiful building with a great atmosphere. Delicious food and cocktails. We will be back and would highly recommend !

Absolutely first class. Great service, mouth watering food, great wine. Overall a lovely evening. Cannot fault them.

The food and service are consistently excellent

Very friendly and helpful. Food delicious and quickly served. Special mention for the apple crumble which was fab!

Really lovely restaurant and atmosphere. The food was really good and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back and would recommend. All the best of luck for the future Lilac at Chestergate!

Consistently good.

We had lunch here on a Saturday afternoon, lovely food and a really good deal on the lunch menu . All the food was tasty and top quality, I would recommend and plan to return. It was very quiet and I hope that trade picks up for them as the place is lovely.

First time visiting this restaurant and I can't fault it. On arriving we were warmly greeted and shown to our beautifully laid table with complimentary melba toast and fresh bread. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely evening on Saturday. As always the staff were friendly and attentive and the food was outstanding. It is always the perfect dinner out
