Anthology - Cheshire East

We have been there for lunch today. My grandsons wife Victoria booked it for the 4 of us. They came from Dewsbury and we came from Helsby Cheshire. We had their Sunday Lunch and it was excellent. Plus the staff were really helpful. Keep up the good work

Just popped in for lunch, we have not been for some time. it looks like it's under new management. anyway food was really good, peri peri chicken skewers and thai green curry both very tasty and needed a lie down after finishing a giant wedge of cheesecake. I am a bit baffled by the bad reviews due to carpark.. there are signs all round the carpark. its poor for the people who work there if you put a bad review just because you missed the signs.. so if you're thinking of going, dont be put off by these reviews.... we thought it was a really nice place. would have scored 4, but giving it a 5 to make up for people who cant read...

My favourite licensed eatery was Anthology until this lunchtime. I had booked a table for three of us for 12 30 17th February. When we met up outside the place was closed. We knocked on the door several times, even phoned the number but to no avail. What a disappointment and inconvenience turning up on time and not getting in. I was a regular customer, at least once a week and had felt welcome.What a shame and why were we left out in the cold before we went somewhere else to eat..

We drove to Wilmslow especially to visit Anthology, having heard much about its menu and great range of real ale. We arrived for a late Sunday lunch and things didn’t start well. I made it clear that we’d like to dine, but the staff seemed disinterested and were too busy chatting amongst themselves and with the locals sat at the end of the bar. I had to ask where menus were, whether we ordered at the bar etc. None of this ‘normal’ greeter info was forthcoming at all. For starters, we ordered chicken liver parfait and Chicken wings to start, both of which arrived quickly and were excellent. Once the starters were cleared we waited 35 minutes for our main courses. We had orders a burger and chips and a lamb Sunday roast. When the main courses eventually arrived we noticed that we had been given beef instead o lamb and that the roast dinner was far from hot. It had clearly been sitting for quite some time, as there was a skin on the gravy. The meal was also meant to include a broccoli and cauliflower Cheese bake, this never arrived. Once we had made the staff aware of the error with the roast it was replaced, but of course the other meal was finished by the time the new roast arrived. So we ate separately. Upon paying the bill I was asked whether everything was ok. I said unfortunately not and explained the problems we’d encountered. There was no reaction to this at all, it was as though I hadn’t said it. The staff member simply asked me for the full amount, which was just less than £47. There was no sorry or thank you. I was simply handed a receipt and we left. We were expecting so much and left very disappointed. I felt that the operation lacked a managerial steer. That staff were all youngsters who weren’t really that interested in the customer experience, or at least that how we felt.

I visited Anthology Friday night. Covid-19 pecautions were in place and being enforced. Plenty of space and log in NHS app needed. Plenty of hand sanitiser available. Staff were very good with table service and prompt and friendly service was delivered by the very nice Milly who did a good job for us on the evening. A nice pub grub menu with good variety of choice. I had a great burger double everything really substantial. Overall a pleasant experience drinks informal dining in a safe friendly pub. Top marks
