Axe & Cleaver in Altrincham

Food pub in a nice area. Not a drinkers pub. Nice stop off for a half on a bike ride . Interesting insects to see in the beer garden 🚴 🍻 🐛

We had two lovely dinners on a Tuesday and Wednesday evening whilst staying locally. The menu was interesting, the atmosphere was welcoming and the ambience was charming. Paul was helpful and provided us with friendly and timely service. We came back on the third night (a Thursday) and were confronted with 2 grumpy women who didn't want us to be there. We felt unwelcome so we left. Motto is - only go when Paul is working.

Booked a table for 5 as a Mother’s Day treat, arrived early but we were soon given a great large round table in the window. The pub is well staffed and the service excellent, had a little wait for our meal but it was busy and the food is proper stuff so that was no problem. Great variety of meals available at reasonable prices, good portions & vegetarian options, we all enjoyed them! There was a big car park and picnic tables outside, we’ll have to come back in summer, cheers!

Friendly staff, reasonably priced comfortable environment. Unplanned visit and called in on the off chance to see if we could get a table. The guy who spoke to us upon entering was very helpful and found us a table but did advise us we needed to vacate after about 2 hours. This wasn't going to be an issue as we already planned on having a Sunday lunch. I had beer rump, my wife had the roast turkey, we had a side of cauliflower cheese. The food was very good, and they did provide an extra mug of gravy when requested. If I was picky, I thought the roast potatoes could be more cooked, but that is my preference. The portions are good and we both felt full afterwards, this resulted in us sharing a desert. We had the bakewell tart and custard, which again was very nice. Looked like a reasonable selection of beer, I stuck with my usual Guinness, my wife had shandy due to driving. Overall, a nice experience and the staff are good. One thing we both noticed, we weren't asked about allergies, which is unusual. This is something that will improve the business if they make it something the integrate into the greating, we have a family member with a severe allergy so this is why we noticed it. This is not a criticism, more an observation as we really enjoyed this place. Thanks

Came here for Valentine’s Day with my partner, food was absolutely lovely, however £25 for the lamb shank in abit of gravy (was suppose to be in a shepards pie) was extortionate. The picture attached is our food untouched, that is definitely not in a shepards pie. My partners mixed grill was lovely he really enjoyed it.
