Alfred's in Macclesfield

Ah, Alfred's – it's one of those local gems in Macclesfield that you can't help but appreciate for its straightforward appeal. I've heard from folks that the food really shines, with dishes like fish and chips coming out as absolute winners, and the menu's got enough variety to keep everyone happy without overwhelming you. The drinks side of things is brilliant too; there's a nice mix of beers, cocktails, and even some deals that make it feel like good value for a night out. The staff are always up for a chat and get things served up quickly, which makes the whole experience feel warm and inviting, especially with all that indoor and outdoor seating for when the sun's out. On the flip side, it's a shame about the beer selection not being as broad as it could be – if you're a real ale enthusiast, you might find yourself wanting more options. And while most visits sound positive, there was that one story of a meal going horribly wrong, which reminds us that even the best spots can have an off day. All in all, it's a solid choice for a casual drink or bite, and I'd say it's worth popping in if you're in the area, just keep expectations realistic and you'll likely have a great time.
