The Best Restaurants in Marple, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

The best dining experience I have had. The food was out of this world. Staff were brilliant and extremely patient and answered any queries about the different dishes. Highly recommended. Thanks to you all for a brilliant evening.

A great little find in this piece of Sicily brought into the High Peak district. The menu was a host of intriguing unknowns, which made choosing my meal very difficult. I eventually went for the Burrata e Coppa Siciliana, followed by the Margherite Ca Sasizza. (The imported fennel sausage, deliciuos) with long pasta. The home-made ice cream was also great. The service was first class and the staff were very attentive and chatty, making the atmosphere very friendly. Plus, the complimentary Limoncello just rounded the evening off very nicely. "Il cibo e molto bene"

We were looking forward to eating here and trying their food as it was local to where we were staying with family and also the reviews were so good. The welcome was very friendly and the place has a cool vibe. Where it fell short for us was the food and the price. One of our party wanted gluten free pizza base which was listed on the website, however they didn’t have any available on the day. Not a big deal as there were other GF meals available. The pizza was average, however the cheese to pizza ratio was good. It wasn’t anything special unfortunately. Overall it’s a nice place with friendly people, but it’s London prices and the food just doesn’t justify it.

What a delight..you feel like you are in Sicily... Attentive staff and incredible tasting food 😋 It was my birthday meal I was not disappointed.. First time but I will definitely be back ..

Absolutely amazing place, the perfect canal side location, right opposite Goyt mill, worth a visit and detour!!! Wish I had this on my doorstep. Beth the live-in owner has renovated this from an old corner shop, she’s a great chef and host- cares deeply about quality and thoughtful sourcing from local producers : smashing coffees, lunchtime dishes, deli items and refreshing drinks, outside seating available roadside or in the canal garden. homemade focaccia is to die for Dogs and kids are welcome. Can’t wait to see this place flourish and evolve ❤️ I’ll be back frequently 🙏

My favourite place to visit in the area. Gorgeous decor, lovely atmosphere and friendly and accommodating staff. The food is incredible and like nothing else nearby. The focaccia and sandwiches are out of this world. I noticed a review commenting on the price, of course it’s going to be at the more expensive end as the produce is fantastic quality and the care and attention that goes into every dish is worth every penny. So glad this is in Marple and I hope it does as well as it deserves to.

This was on my list of restaurants to visit this year and I've started with a bang! Such a lovely place to grab breakfast / brunch or a late afternoon snack. It's situated right by the canal and has a lovely and warm atmosphere inside. The food is incredible, specifically anything focaccia related. It's not like any other place in the area! The staff are super friendly and it's now become a new favourite of mine. I'm already looking forward to experiencing it in the summer.

This is a proper cafe/restaurant with quality produce and ideas. The flavour combos are original and always worth trying whether it's their sandwiches, cakes, focaccia or supper clubs. We had high expectations for their December supper club which more than delivered - from the beef croquettes and sprout salad to the beautiful stuffed squash. We feel very lucky that for us Tawny is just a short walk away along the canal!

Went for brunch and to look at records. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Had a tasty bacon and sausage bap and lovely latte. Picked up a couple of interesting records and will definitely be back, especially once they open the second-hand record section upstairs soon.

Pop in here for a couple of beers once or twice a month. Great atmosphere/surrounding, always friendly staff, great crisps/snacks too. Haven't tried the food. Bought some lovely and well-priced flowers for Mother's Day this year too. Decent beers. Drinks are a bit expensive but average for Greater Manchester now I think. Good, eclectic and well-curated range of new vinyl; they say second-hand is coming soon. Nice outdoor bit in summer too. Love it!

An absolute gem. Eclectic, cosy, good coffee, nicely curated selection of beers, and vinyl (and flowers)! Above all though, a very friendly and welcoming place. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely, friendly service and relaxing environment, especially comfortable upstairs. Good tunes playing in the background, at a comfortable volume that allows easy conversation. The decor is very inviting, with a bit of stylish retro vibes with the architectural murals on the walls upstairs and the vaulted ceiling and comfy sofas gives a sense of being in a loft apartment lounge. The coffee was good and there was a great selection of bar snacks. Great selection of records and plants for sale too. Been here a few times. Would highly recommend.

What a great venue, well worth a drive! Fresh produce, generous portions of starters and all fish and seafood cooked spot on. Chilli prawn risotto is a must, better than the ones I've had in Italy. Mussels in moreish sauce and delicious catch of the day. The lady at the front has a great banter and it was a pleasure to have a chat after the meal. Definitely coming back!!

We visited recently and had the tapas menu. Excellent value for money, we got 3 dishes each and as part of the deal you get a drink included with this option. Variety of options, everything was fresh and tasted different to eachother. Generous portions and staff are very friendly. Look forward to returning to try more of the menu in future!

An incredible meal to celebrate our engagement. The staff went above and beyond, with flowers, a card, and bubbly waiting on the table when we arrived. Having dined at Fisherman's Table previously, we knew we were in for some excellent food and drink, but did not expect to be blown away by these extra touches. We cannot thank Fisherman's Table enough for their excellent service, the food, as always, was incredible and we left with memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for making an incredible day even more special and we can't wait to return for more meals and celebrations in the future - would give 6 stars if we could.

A lovely spot for a special night out or just to eat some fab seafood! Service was great, friendly and helpful. It has a cosy, local vibe. The standout dish was the hake when crispy leeks, the bisque was unctious or bangin' (as the kids say). The steak was well received and cooked to order. The platter was a great way to start things, usually I find squid rubbery in places but here it was perfect with a zingy batter. We left sated.

We went for an early evening meal before seeing one of our grandchildren in a school performance. Very pleasant staff, prompt and efficient service. We know the Istanbul Grill in Culcheth well, and the decor and menus are very similar. For starters I had prawns in sauce, my partner had the feta filo parcels, then the vegetable shaker and vegetarian moussaka. All the meals were excellent. There is an early bird dinner menu which is very reasonable, but with a limited range.

We have eaten here as a family several times now. The food is excellent - I think it has gone up in quality since the restaurant opened. The kebabs were very tasty and tender, and the accompanying salad fresh. Baklava and ice cream really good if you have room for it. Atmosphere great - fairly busy when we went, but not unbearably noisy. Service quick and friendly (we were served by Molly). Overall cost very reasonable; drinks not a rip-off like some places. No complaints - will visit again.

Lovely local pub. Staff are really friendly and their are always locals in having a good natter. The fires always lit and there's a good selection of crisps. Lol! Never eaten here but they have pizza vans and chippy vans coming every week and I think they have won an award this month for their food (April 24)

Traditional pub with a friendly atmosphere and good Robbies cask ales. Been many times on a Friday night when they have live music. Recently saw the excellent Still band play. They have a pizza van earlier which is a great idea. They show live footy and have quiz nights. All in all a great pub.

An excellent old school drinking pub, with a great selection of beers, wines and spirits. It has a pool table and plenty of space to sit and chat to your friends or the lovely, friendly locals; who have bags of charm and character. The pub is really well run by Jo and her husband and they even have an authentic Italian pizza oven outside, ran by Mark, a foodie whose Maltese Mother taught him his love for Italian food... the Diavola Pizza I had was sooo fresh; Buffalo Mozzarella, Nduja and Calabrian Sausage, hand-stretched and homemade dough, topped with fresh basil, a sprinkle of parmesan shavings and a drizzle of chilli oil. What a lovely place for a quick beer or a full-on session. Their Quiz night is due to switch Tuesday nights (from Thursdays) in the new year and I hope to pay them a visit again soon to try my luck in 2023 👌🏼

Had fish chips and mushy peas and it was lovely, Jo the landlady is so friendly and pleasant, makes everyone welcome. Matt the chef is so friendly and what tends to your needs and all this food. For the full video checkout stocky bloke on YouTube

Great for gluten free. Once again another great review from me. After enjoying my visit 6 weeks ago I decided to return over the Christmas period and glad I did as the gluten free menu has been extended with some delicious dishes to choose from.👊🏻 Chef respect 🙌🏻 Great to see there was white wine vinegar available for my chips also. Great job to the team and thank you for yet again another great meal out.

This is a hidden gem Brilliant! A must Best lunch ever! Worth a drive from Wolverhampton! We’re buying a house up here to be close by

I would rate this 6 stars if I could! I came here while on a short break with friends, and we were all staggered by such a fantastic evening at the Hare & Hounds Mill Brow. The staff were very accommodating and from starters to desserts, everything was exquisite. All our courses, sides, and drinks were consistently fresh & delicious. Inside is a warm, pleasant and relaxed atmosphere; outside the building is quaint, well kept and beautiful. I will always remember this evening as my perfect dining experience.

Attentive service catered well for us with a pram. Food great. Had the venison and partner the steak. Drinks great too. Lovely atmosphere and really recommend a visit.

The most incredible wedding day - May 2024 💫 The Crown Hawk Green is the absolute perfect venue for an intimate, relaxed, yet high end wedding. From start to finish, the process of planning our special day was so easy and stress free. Lucie and the team made sure everything was exactly as I wanted it and nothing was too much trouble. From the decor, place settings, seating plan and welcome sign, to the food, drinks and order of the day. All aspects were considered, discussed and arranged with ease. I honestly loved every minute of my wedding day. The guests were all extremely happy and loved all of our delicious food. All of the staff are incredibly well trained and always happy to help. There were plenty of staff available and nobody had to wait long for anything. The service was excellent as always. My request for the day was ‘intimate ceremony - big party’ and we certainly had a wonderful evening partying the night away. The space allowed for a party in the Frederick Suite, but guests that wanted to move away from the music to chat were able to do so. There was plenty of seating for everyone. I would 100% recommend The Crown Hawk Green for a wedding, or any event for that matter, and look forward to celebrating many more occasions there myself in the future. Wish we could do it all again!!! Thank you so much. Hayley and Lee Breed 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Cracking Sunday lunch served by Immy, well, she didn’t cook it but she was very accommodating with my sense of humour

I celebrated a ‘ big birthday ‘ at this lovely pub yesterday. We occupied a table for 15 people and the service was brilliant, we did not wait for anything, the staff were fantastic. The food was lovely, and all my guests were impressed with their meal. I have been to The Crown on a number of occasions and it never disappoints. I would certainly recommend this friendly pub to anyone for any occasion.

We had a lovely meal last night. The waiters were really polite and helpful and Sunny remembered our names even though it had been a while since we had dined in. Always really enjoy it when we dine here and it feels like a lovely family treat. Highly recommend.

Fantastic! We've been twice so far as a family and also had takeaway. Sunny the owner is amazing he remembered all our names from the previous visit together which was two years ago! He organised the table so we had room for our pushchair and a highchair, nothing was too much trouble to make us feel welcome. Everything we ordered was brilliant I had the set meal and everything was superb, everyone else had various starters and different dishes which we all shared. This is not your average Chinese restaurant it is more expensive but food is high quality, delicous and one the best I have ever been to! A fabulous experience.

Really nice place! Staff lovely and attentive. Food good 👍

The king prawn with ginger and spring onion is without a doubt the best I've eaten, there is no equal to be found in this area. The egg fried rice was also of excellent quality. I've known the owner/manager Sunny for a great number of years, he manages a first class kitchen and offers a quality restaurant and takeaway service.The take away & restaurant food cannot be bettered. Tony M.

First visit, yesterday afternoon. Sampled plenty of the cocktails which were very reasonably priced. I managed to knock one over and we were taken aback when a replacement was brought over to the table. Laid back atmosphere, lovely staff, we will definitely be returning.

Called in after being at the pictures. Brilliant place. Friendly staff. Very attractive and comfortable. Several excellent cask ales and pleased to see a porter on. Live music which was good as well.

Bevi is Love

Sat on a pedestrianised street in Marple opposite the Bulls Head. Flic was happy to find two "rare" out of area beers. A 4% Golden Ale from Oswestry brewery Stonehouse. I tend to love Shropshire beers. Also an IPA beer from Bristol Brewery Butcombe ( I thought they were Devon?). Converted shop premises with small front outside seating area. Steep and narrow stairs lead to the toilets and an upstair games room. Having once moved a pool table out of a cellar I understand the effort and risk involved.
