The Watchmaker Bar & Grill in Cheadle Hulme

Ah, The Watchmaker Bar & Grill – it's one of those neighbourhood pubs that can be a real gem when everything clicks. I've heard from a few folks that the staff are absolute stars, always up for a chat and making you feel welcome, which is just what you want after a long day. The atmosphere is spot on too, with lively entertainment like karaoke that gets everyone involved, and it's brilliant for settling in with mates to watch the football. Plus, when the food and drinks are on offer, they're top-notch and won't break the bank. But, let's be straight, it's not all smooth sailing – some have had a tough time with the place shutting early without warning, which could spoil your evening plans. And then there's the bigger worry about certain staff antics that sound well out of order, making you question if it's the right spot for a relaxed night out. Overall, it's worth giving it a go if you're nearby, but maybe keep an eye out and have a backup plan, just to keep things balanced.
