About This Pub
Ah, the Flower Pot – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Macclesfield, you know? From what I've gathered, it's got this warm, inviting atmosphere where you can pop in for a pint in the beer garden or tuck into some seriously tasty pub grub. The Sunday roasts, especially the vegan nut roast, have people raving, and it's clear the team behind the bar and in the kitchen really know how to make you feel at home. That said, it's not without its little quirks; the hours can end a bit early, so if you're planning a big night out, you might need to check ahead. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for a relaxed meal with mates or family – I'd say it's worth a visit for the friendly chats and that homely feel, even if the food doesn't always knock your socks off.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The food is absolutely spot on, especially their Sunday roasts and vegan options – I've heard they're some of the best around, making it a real treat for a hearty meal.
-
The staff are so friendly and attentive; they go out of their way to make you feel welcome, whether you're popping in for a quick pint or settling in for the evening.
-
It's a lovely, recently refurbished spot with a clean, modern vibe, plus a beer garden that's perfect for relaxing on a sunny day.
-
Being dog-friendly and family-oriented, it's a great place for everyone to mix and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere without any fuss.
Cons
-
The opening hours can seem a bit inconsistent or early in places, like wrapping up around 4 PM typically, which might disappoint if you're after a late-night catch-up.
-
While the food's generally good, it might not wow everyone – one person mentioned it was nice but nothing special, so it could depend on what you're in the mood for.

Went for the Sunday roast today vegan nut roast was so tasty, best ever so special thanks to the chef who has come up with a different and delicious nut roast for us veggies
I went to the flower pot recently for the first time a few nights ago for a few drinks with friends.
What a lovely place! It's clean, modern and the staff were great, especially Lewis behind the bar who was run off his feet, but still found the time to be attentive and funny! Would definitely go again.
Great first experience and will be back! Sunday dinner was lovely, could well be the best Nut Roast I've ever had.
Glenn was really helpful with excellent customer service. We will be back!
Amazing food and great service! Staff were very helpful and well informed and the food was all amazing!
This was one of our random stops we seem to do alot of. Nice looking building with parking.
Inside is all nice and modern looking and was greeted straight away by a friendly staff member and shown a table. Food was ordered quick and came out quick as well and food was nothing special but was nice and tasty and fresh which was good.
Dog friendly as well.
