Was our first visit to the restaurant, the service and food was fantastic, we all really enjoyed our meals. Will certainly visit again.

Decor lovely Food disappointing apart from the gorgeous spare ribs - King Prawns - not so king and a bit dry - Chilli Sauce tasted out of a bottle - Large Mussels - too small, over cooked and flat - Chicken Sizzler - chicken pieces tasted processed This was the second time I've visited Service wasn't what I experienced before - put this down to the second visit being on a Tuesday. Wondered whether the restaurant had new owners or new staff

I absolutely love Lilac Cottage, the food is amazing and service fantastic. We recently took my parents for a wedding anniversary treat and it was lovely. if you haven’t been yet, go on book, you will not be disappointed, such a lovely atmosphere!

This place never fails to impress, we love coming here. Food and service is fantastic, great value for money too!

We went on Valentine's Day but decided to mix-and match between the regular medu and the 'special' Valentine menu. All the food was good as was the service which was friendly and attentive but not overly so (that's a good thing for me). The restaurant was quite busy but with a pleasant atmosphere and we enjoyed the evening. Was definitely good value for money

Amazing food, service, decor. Just perfect for valentines. We had an amazing evening.

Absolutely lovely food and friendly staff thank you for a lovely valentines evening

Fantastic food, atmosphere and service on valentines evening! Would definitely recommend. Only negative is that we booked after seeing the valentines special a couple of weeks ago priced at £50 for two people 6 dishes, one dessert with a bottle of wine included. We arrived and forgetting about the offer we placed our food order and drinks order of a pint and a Prosecco. Due to having a second round of the same drinks again and a dessert each our total bill was £90 including an £8 service charge. Understandable you could say that this is our fault, however it would have been the right thing from a professional service point of view to have either been asked are we wanting to order one of the 3 valentines deals that were advertise on social media or order off menu separately. On reflection it feels like this was not offered to us as they knew they could and will make more money of customers. Additionally to add a service charge of £8 on when the restaurant is not in a city centre, nor did we see it mentioned on the menu seems wrong. (Feels like this is exploiting the area the restaurant sits in) We are more than happy to tip when we receive fantastic service but prefer this to be of our choice rather than forced. Slightly put off by the experience, however the quality of the food and the in service friendly and professional manner of the colleagues means we will return at some point.

Really enjoyable day! Food was lovely

Excellent, mine and my partners favourite place. We travel from Oldham just to eat here. The food is so authentic and tastes amazing. The beers are crisp and taste fresher than anywhere else. Really nice atmosphere with friendly staff.

We enjoyed yet another great tapas meal at 'Lilac Cottage' - by far the best Tapas restaurant that i've ever eaten at. Highly recommended - 5 stars Thankyou for looking after us - staff always so welcoming too

Great food service and great value for money - cannot recommend highly enough

Nicely cooked food, in particular the salads were very fresh and generous helpings. Quirky decor, definitely worth a try, good range of dishes

Great food, fantastic service, brilliant asset to Prestbury.

Couldn't fault our family meal on Saturday night. The menu had changed slightly but old favourite (meatballs) still there. All absolutely delicious and perfectly executed. Can't wait to come back.

Brought my mum for her birthday last night, both owner and waiter were lovely. The place itself was quirky too! A lovely setting. Disappointed with the food though, the bread with salsa tasted liked tinned salsa and nothing special. The crispy pork belly wasn’t crispy at all so just fat. The mushrooms were nothing special. Nothing has a taste that I thought wow! The prawns and halloumi were delicious though. It’s a Shame as I won’t be rushing back. A real shame as great location, staff and decor!

They offer Great venue Great service Great food Simple to say but difficult to do

Fabulous meal, really good and diverse choice. The mock tails were very impressive and service attentive
