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

We came in today and enjoyed the Christmas Dinner Sub, it was amazing! The manager (didn’t catch his name) was absolutely brilliant. Despite it being busy and him serving on his own, all food and drinks came out on time and to a great standard. He was chatting with customers and checking in on everyone and everything was clean and tidy. Fantastic experience, so happy I found this place and will definitely be back.

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.

Food, atmosphere and drinks are always mega at this place. Also love the concept of having all the different produce available to buy and take home. Menu always runs with the seasons which is so nice. The location is stunning, especially on a summer's day, watching the boats go by on the canal

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.

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 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!

Had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner. The place was packed, however it still felt friendly, homely and had a nice vibe. The staff work very hard and are friendly and really looked after us. The food was amazing. Simple but well done and tasty. Portions are very generous. We had the nduja and mozzarella arancino and spring onions in pancetta to start, Followed by prawns and porchetta and a cannoli to finish.

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 ..

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"

First time visiting to meet friends for drinks and food. Great atmosphere, good choice on menu, food was delicious, service was outstanding and always with a smile! We will return for sure. Our friends had the carvery and loved it, husband had the stacker burger and was so full he had no room for pudding!y vegetarian options were so tasty!

Came here yesterday after a walk, service was great. The place was packed but we were seen to and seated quickly. We got the camembert sharer starter and it was worth every penny. Amazing. For the mains we got the pie of the day (steak and ale) and a red Thai curry with cod (very spicy!). For pudding we each got a hot fudge cake with ice cream. We had an amazing time, only thing was we were sat adjacent to 2 men who were bragging about watching child p*rn which was super weird.

Fine Food, balanced and tasty with good portions. Place has inside and outside siting with a car parking. The restaurant/pub looks like a big house, with so many rustic rooms. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Loved the families vibes. Will be back 🙌🏽

While B&Bing in the area to drop a friend off the following day (Sunday) at Manchester Airport we called in here after a local recommendation from someone at the nearby Dobbies garden centre. Had not booked but Trisha on the desk was really friendly and helpful and found us a table coming free after about a half hour wait. Had drinks in the bar area ( poor really as small and only high stools at a few tables). We were shown to a table in the ‘veranda extension’ area and very pleasant it was too ( only 2 tables there and a bit quieter than the main areas). Atmosphere in the pub is lovely, as was the service . Decided to have the Carvery and very nice (£13). Note that a 10% service charge is made on your bill but the waitresses look to work really hard, remaining pleasant etc….so please accept it ( you can have it removed if you want but that would be a shame on you). We even gave the two girls who served us an extra tip.

Lovely pub in a nice area ,got seated upstairs as no tables available. Waiting staff were great and the lager was a decent pint .The fish and chips were perfectly cooked ,would definitely recommend this pub

Absolutely top-notch trio-of-meats Sunday roast. Accompanied by a log fire and a couple of pints of proper cask ale. In an authentic 1792 stone pub with friendly locals of the canine type. What’s not to like?

We booked for Sunday dinner. The table they had put us in as still being used do they moved us to another table. Unfortunately it was where a couple of families with children were. The children were not being watched and were noisy and quite distributive. However the service was excellent and I think of the best Sunday dinners we’ve had out for quite awhile. It was great that we could take our dog with us too.

A worthy addition to the 2025 Good Beer Guide with the ever changing range of cask ale on sale. The Tiny Rebel Beach Off IPA Milkshake was exceptional. Well worth seeking out. Only a 5 minute uphill walk back to Marple 🚂 station.

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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.

Best bar in marple. The staff and owners are actually interested in you and your time there. They serve excellent food and the drink prices and offers are generous. Live music twice a week - there’s no negatives to this place.

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.

Bevi is Love

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

I’ve been here before and can’t believe I left it so long to be back. The food is outstanding and if this restaurant was in Mayfair it would have a Michelin star, and be 4x the price. Marple is lucky to have this gem. The price for two starters, two mains, a bottle of wine and large mineral water was £68 without a tip great value for money as the quality of the food is unrivalled. We arrived on valentines night so it was very busy, the place was full even at 6:15pm very understandable. The staff coped well and the food was on time and delicious, if I had to pick one Fault it would be the cramped tables because if the size of the place, so privacy is an issue. Go with the flow regard it as cozy and its a great restaurant

Great restaurants very helpful, rang to check if needed highchair and also saved table when was delayed. Food lovely, hot, tasty and fresh, would go again. Great veggie and vegan options. 5 stars.

The Crown is exceptional in so many way. Food is excellent and the staff are first class. My wife has severe food allergies and The Crown’s staff make her feel very safe with their experience and knowledge. We are lucky enough to eat out regularly and 4 out of 5 times we go to The Crown. Probably over 50 visits now, 50 great experiences, it’s our favourite venue and we’ll keep going back. Well done to the amazing team, thank you for always looking after us, we appreciate your efforts.

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.
