The staff were all very welcoming, and we were all really impressed with the friendly, efficient service. The menu was full of English comfort foods...and they executed everything beautifully. Just look at my photos to get an idea...I tried the goats cheese and caramelised onion strudel, which came balanced on potatoes and perfect ratatouille. If you ever find yourself in this part of the country, it is definitely worth popping in here for some lunch! *Pro tip: It sounded like they get very booked up in the evening, so ring ahead to ensure you get a table!!

Thanks to my Yelp fine dining partner Gemma G, the Alderley has been on my foodie radar for awhile…read more So, when I was in the area for a wedding, I took the opportunity to have Sunday lunch here on my way home Located in the Alderley Edge Hotel, the restaurant had an old grandeur about it and many of the guests were obviously regulars. Being located close to the Manchester United training ground, some of the players are regulars and acting from a tipoff from Gemma, I asked and the maitre d' did show me the table where Alex Ferguson likes to sit when he visits Gemma had enjoyed a molecular style tasting menu on her visit but the Sunday lunch menu is much more conventional and described as their take on a Sunday roast - it's good value at £23.95 for 3 courses We were offered a lovely selection of bread and I had a cheesey one that I had to resist over-eating in order to save space for my main meal I started with a deconstructed Caesar salad. All the components tasted nice on their own and in combination but I could have done with a little more dressing to bind the dish together. My sister's rilette of salmon was paired with watermelon & apple salad and she enjoyed it For mains, my sister went with the beef and Yorkshire pudding while I had the lamb. Can't fault the cooking of the meat - we were told it would come pink (perfect for us) For dessert, I couldn't turn down the vanilla pannacota which came with a divine white chocolate sorbet while my sister turned to comfort food - rice pudding with rhubarb though it did lack the advertised lemon ice cream Overall, an enjoyable meal and dependable Sunday lunch, which earn The Alderley a solid 4 stars for now. I would like to return for the tasting menu, which I think would deliver a 5 star experience I would like to make a special mention of all the waiting staff, who were excellent - friendly, knowledgeable and really hospitable throughout. A shoutout should also go out to the warm petit four mini cakes which came with coffee in the lounge

(NB: This is the second part to the review that I started yesterday...)…read more The sommelier was certainly not stingy with the wine for the wine pairings, a consequence of which was me having the dutch courage to ask for the chef to come out for a chat, get my menu signed (see what you've done Yee Gan!!), and arrange for a kitchen tour for me and my 12 year old step brother. Chef Holland was very happy to chat to us and answer all of George's question - a really nice guy as well as an excellent chef. The following day he also signed some recipe books for us featuring some of his dishes which I will be trying to recreate at home! This restaurant was opened by Alex Ferguson in 1994 and he is also a regular customer. My whole family being massive Manchester United fans, this was also very exciting for us and the maitre d was happy to show us his regular table and let us pose for photo's!! We were the last people to leave the restaurant, hugely sated and a little tipsy, but feeling that I had just experienced the greatest meal of my life so far. I would be very surprised if Chef Holland is not awarded a Michelin star very soon.

The interior is comfortably furnished with a mixture of chairs and sofas to give a relaxed atmosphere. If you were looking for a traditional country pub though it's probably more on the stylish gastro end of the spectrum. That said, the food we had from starters to desserts was superb. Our group, which included a baby and a toddler, were well taken care of and we had a large table tucked away from the main dining area where we could spread out a bit. You can't travel light with young 'uns! Sunday roasts and British dishes head the menu, though the selection for all courses was pretty extensive - I opted for their oak-smoked chicken liver pâté followed by the Sunday roast platter (roast beef, roast turkey and loin of pork) and then sticky toffee and apple pudding (because dessert). Their bar stock includes cask-conditioned beers, real ales and bottles which was good to see. As a designated driver though, I was on the blackcurrant and lemonade! Service was attentive throughout and we were never made to feel rushed at any point. A super venue for a lazy Sunday lunch - will definitely return.
