The John Millington in Cheadle Hulme

Ah, The John Millington – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, tucked away on Station Road in Cheadle Hulme. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, folks really rave about the food; those Sunday roasts sound like a must-try, with options galore and dishes that come out looking and tasting spot on. The staff get a big thumbs up too – they're always on hand with a smile and quick service, which makes the whole experience that bit more enjoyable. Pair that with a cosy, well-laid-out space and some cracking real ales, and you've got yourself a solid spot for a relaxed afternoon or evening out. On the flip side, it's not all roses; I've seen a mention of the food not always hitting the mark, like with some chewy beef that left one visitor a bit underwhelmed. And let's be honest, it does get heaving at times, especially on weekends, so planning ahead is probably wise if you don't fancy queuing. Overall, it's a place I'd happily recommend for a good meal and chat, as long as you go in with realistic expectations – after all, it's the little ups and downs that make these spots feel real and relatable.
