Legh Arms

abit dear but its a great place to have a drink and nice food.

Although the décor at this pub is modern and inoffensive, the service leaves a lot to be desired. I found the staff unfriendly, when they weren’t looking down their noses at me, they ignored me completely. I had to go to the bar twice before anyone would take my order and then they ignored me for another half an hour. In the end, as no food had turned up and my lunchtime was over (I had been there almost an hour) I informed them that I had to leave. No note of concern or apology was indicated or given.

Formerly a Wacky Warehouse, the Legh Arms has had a make-​over and is now a smart, chic, family-​friendly dining pub on the edge of the Peak District.
We went with three generations of our family here for Sunday lunch and found ourselves well-​served.
Most of us went for the carvery, but a couple choose to order from the menu — all the food was good, if fairly standard, and on a hot day the real ales went down nicely.
There are good baby-​changing facilities, but no children’s play area and the pub is on the corner of a main road, so little ones need to be supervised closely. After lunch, we took a scenic drive over the Brick Works to Lyme Park where our little darlings were able to work off their lunch in the various playparks.
The Legh Arms sits, both geographically and culinarily, mid-​way between the chi-​chi bistros of Alderley Edge, Wilmslow and the like and the full-​on muddy boots pubs of the Peak District — a reliable place that caters for both Grandma and Junior.

We booked a table in the restaurant which turned out to be almost empty for a Friday night, however the bar area was packed with people eating so it might have been the old fashioned décor in the restaurant that put them off. The toilets were amazing and I don’t say that often, obviously recently refurbished. Food was quite nice but not amazing.

A good, traditional bar which serves good bar snacks all day (with roasts on Sunday)
A real fire in the winter and a beer garden in the summer
A restaurant with a more select menu
All for a reasonable price
