Reviews in Macclesfield

I visited here over 12 months ago and thoroughly enjoyed the oldy worldy atmosphere and charm of the place, the fabulously tasty lunch time snacks. Infact I enjoyed it so much that I took my whole family back (I'd visited with friends previous who'd recommended it) and my husband, two children and I all had our evening meal of 2 courses with drinks for a very reasonable £50 and once again the food and service didn't disappoint - will definitely return.

I visited The Wizard in December on the recommendation of friends, so I knew it was going to be good but I was somewhat surprised at just how good it was. I don't tend to write recommendations but my 2nd visit on Sunday 11th of January for lunch just confirmed what a truly superb place this is. The location is perfect, surrounded by farmland and forest but just 5 minutes from the centre of Alderley. The period property with it's low ceilings, beams, flagstone flooring and eclectic furniture sets the scene for a very comfortable couple of hrs dinning and the kitchen staff certainly deliver on the all important food front. Menus ticked all the boxes for my party and the food was just wonderful on both occasions - perfectly cooked and presented. The staff really add their bit to the mix with very attentive but discreet service, which is just how I like it. Special mention must go to the manager, who couldn't do enough for us and delivered our meal with polish and zeal - he would be a credit to any of London's top restaurants. The only downside we could think of relates to certain aspects of the interior, such as a ceiling stained from a water leak, missing plaster work from the ceiling and other areas that looked like the might fall down on our heads plus lights that I can only assume are defective due to missing bulbs. Friends tell me it's been like this for a couple years, which is a shame as The Wizard seriously needs a bit of TLC and I'm surprised the owners haven't made this happen with so much competition in the area - it will be close to perfection if it ever happens! Recommended!!

I have lived in Macclesfield all my life and didnt have a clue that The Coffee Tavern was in existence. I do now!!! We went for lunch and a pot of tea and it was just beautiful. The fire was beautiful and the food was incredible. We will be going back alot . Many thanks for the experience

hi, could you please send me your opening times. thank you.

Had a shocker of a meal here.......the food, the decor and the staff all seem to be stuck in a 70's time-warp!!

Having visited "The Davenport Arms' last Monday (5th May 2008) we can only say that from the minute we entered their doors we were impressed by the friendliness and willingness of all staff. Furthermore, it did not stop there.... the quality of food and quantity served (and at favourable prices) in the restaurant was exceptional... with staff checking as to our satisfaction and further requirements as necessary. A very memorable occasion. Thank you to all staff. Mr & Mrs Field

Went to the Tavern on 05-05-08. As the prices were very high, I only had a pot of tea; too much water on one tea bag left me with unpalatable, weak tea. My companion had a tuna toast which was cold. Customers at the table next to us were complaining about the prices amongst themselves and one lady decided to order nothing at all !! I certainly will never call there again.

what excellent food and service fresh cooked food excellent atmosphere

The Lord Clyde has become a favourite of ours, an excellent gastro pub with a welcoming atmosphere. We’ve eaten here with parents and friends on many occasions with not a bad word to say about the place. Black Sheep Bitter and Deuchars are on the pumps and both are kept in excellent condition. The food is all freshly prepared and always excellent. The menu is kept simple and changes every visit. Highly recommend a visit...

We regularly eat here and regard it as the standard against which we judge other pub restaurants,and it is unusual to find any to equal it.We are lucky in having it as our 'local'. A&BK

The best place to eat in Macclesfield in my opinion. Great food,great atmosphere and brilliant, friendly service. I have enjoyed many meals here since Pepe opened

i celebrated my 40th birthday at the deli garden last weekend, and had an great evening. the staff were extremely professional and friendly. the food was exceptional, i couldn’t have asked for a better evening. Betty even surprised us with a birthday cake! i recommend this restaurant to all Chinese food lovers! it is the best Chinese restaurant in macc.

The recent refurbishment has made it light and airy still feeling cosy. I took my mother in for lunch and enjoyed a beautiful meal and was served by friendly helpful staff its nice to see the old coffee shops still going and waitress service makes a fantastic change. It cost around £15 for lunch and was well worth it a very nice treat.

One of the finest restaurants in the area. Excellent ingredients, well-chosen dishes, and everything cooked to near-perfection. The owner is meticulous in trying to ensure his guests are happy. The place is always busy and although a touch pricey, worth every penny. This is how to run a restaurant!

This is the best restaurant I have ever been to. Every time I visit England I visit Chesters. The food is outstanding, the service is wonderful. You feel like your one of the family.

Excellent food in wonderful country cottage environment, very romantic in the evenings and cosily comfortable for lunchtime. Nothing too much trouble for the excellent serving staff. Menu changes regularly so one you will never get bored with.

If you have not tried this place you have not had Chinese food!! Simply the best in the land... a must for anyone even the Valentines menu's is fab....go...........treat yourself to a night out to remember...try it, you won't be disappointed, TAKEAWAY AVAILABLE AND IT'S JUST AS GOOD...ENJOY.

A very enjoyable meal. There were some classic dishes and some very imaginative ones too. The service was first class. I think it was Paul who served us. Bravo
