The most formal of Prestbury’s restaurants and bars, attracts a more gentile diner with fine dining, a la carte menu and wine list. Front french windows open up on to the main street overlooking the lychgate and Prestbury church which is lovely in warm weather.

Refurbished by Robinson’s brewery just before covid struck…a great all-round menu, quality food and service, friendly staff, indoor/outdoor seating. Great initiatives through lockdowns.

Under new ownership so licence extended and now serves alcohol alongside the usual café staples. Vegan options. Loved by cyclists for hole-in-the-wall coffee and all-day-breakfast rolls. Not many covers inside but takeout available.

An institution for locals in Prestbury - referred to just as ‘The Rodney’.
Extended beer garden to the rear, traditional cottage feel inside. Bar menu only (I think). More for drinking and socialising rather than eating.

Great little gem of a tapas place, family owned and run: front-of-house and kitchen. Excellent outdoor seating to the rear under canvas, floral, live music, insta-friendly.
Extensive menu hot and cold, vegetarian-friendly, Himalayan salt steaks. Beautiful cocktails.

Deliciously fresh, stone-baked pizzas cooked quickly to order to eat in or take away. Casual, friendly vibes, quality products and service. Busy and buzzy outside in fine weather. Great for coffee and homemade cakes too or an aperitif early doors to watch the world wander by outside.

Life’s Essentials
Bizarre to recommend a local shop but this is no ordinary corner store…champagne fridge behind the till, celebs in the radishes, car park can be like a super car showroom 😂
Or you could just stock up on the essential bits and bobs for your trip…great bakery area stocked hot and fresh each morning, extensive range of quality products given the size of the store.
Used to have a red carpet, bay tree lined rope entrance which was amusing until a flash flood meant sandbags were the order of the day. And then came covid and face-masks and now it looks like there won’t be any red carpet ever again…

Events
Vibrant, lively, eclectic mix of stalls, vendors, exhibits, experiences and entertainment. When the sun is shining, this is Macclesfield town and it’s people at their finest…and when it’s pouring down…it’s actually still pretty good!
It’s only on the first Sunday of the month - unless there’s a bank holiday or Christmas or any other reason it should be on more often!
Check the Treacle Market website, Facebook or Instagram for dates to be sure.
