This was the second time we'd been to the Lilac Cottage and both times the food has been excellent, especially the tapas. It's beautifully decorated inside and the staff are all first class and very friendly. The price is very reasonable and overall a great choice for dining out. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our meal here and would absolutely come again. Only minor issue was when we arrived, the lady seating us (we had booked and arrived on time) was clearly unhappy with something and appeared to have difficulty seating us, audibly stating to another staff member " do you see what I have to deal with" which didn't make us feel particularly welcome. Aside from this, the food was lovely and the waitress serving us was polite and attentive.

The best food and service in Lymm! The staff are incredible, cannot do enough for you. Highly recommended

Excellent food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff

Perfect tapas lunch with excellent Rioja. Good service and decor.

Appalling. One of our party ordered a beef dinner. It came covered in lamb gravy which he couldn't eat. The waitress offered to give him another dry dinner or one with gluten free gravy which he kindly declined as the lamb juices had upset him. No problem she said there'll be no charge for your dinner. We continued with our decidedly average meal and then asked for the bill. Not only were we charged in full but there were extra drinks on it. I spoke to the barperson who told me they couldn't take the money off as they'd offered us an alternative and anyway we hadn't told them we didn't want the gravy. Really! I didn't expect lamb gravy on a beef dinner so why would I think to ask you not to serve it. The outcome I had to pay as they'd prepared it. If I'd had a second meal they'd have deducted it. Total farce. Incidentally 2 weeks prior to this my Mum was grossly overcharged £160 for 4 adults and 2 children's meals. Unfortunately she didn't realise at the time. I'll never go back and advise you all check your bills carefully.

Loved Lilac Cottage the moment we walked through the door. The food was just gorgeous, with good portions, well presented, and timed to perfection. The service was fantastic, along with the very pretty interior design that made you feel so relaxed. I can definitely see that this will be a regular haunt for us and so pleased we found this little gem.

Very disappointed with the service we waited over an hour after ordering our food before it appeared after we asked if there was a problem then felt that the quality was not as good as it could of been .Then when they cleared the table they only cleared 3 of the 4 plates and never came back or asked us if we required anything else so got the bill and left.

Food is exceptional and varied. Staff are super friendly and efficient.Cannot fault this restaurant at all.Well done.

Superb food & real ale, the best we had in 5 days in Cheshire. The Lamb kleftico was to die for. Staff were all excellent. We will return in December, the next time we are in Cheshire. A faultless evening we both enjoyed

I dined at Carbonara last night with three friends and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The ambience was relaxed but with attentive staff and the chairs were extremely comfortable which encouraged you to stay longer and enjoy the evening. Quite a small menu which always tells me that everything is cooked fresh to order. We shared a tagliere misto with some bruschetta to start followed by their signature carbonara for three of us and one tagliata as secondi followed by tiramisù and gelato to finish. Everything was cooked to perfection and having lived in Italy for many years myself I know and appreciate good Italian food. I wish them every success and we will be going to try their 3 course lunch as soon as we can.

Incredible food, awesome staff, wonderful atmosphere Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough Superb all round

Food was incredible the first time we visited, so we were disappointed last night - very average. Some staff were great, whilst the more junior staff clearly need training. A few times we ordered 1 drink/dish and they just walked away without taking the rest of our order. Lovely atmosphere and really nice to have a live singer on - she was great.

Great place staff are great especially Joanne , will be back

First visit here. Lovely food, generous portions and friendly helpful staff. Will definitely be returning.

Always a good meal in the Cheshire Yeoman never let's us down, very friendly staff and a great selection on the menu

Went back for second helpings within a week and a bit and treated the in-laws for a meal. As always really friendly and attentive service, delicious food whilst good portion sizes and nice wines at a reasonable price. By far our favourite place for dinner in the village and can’t wait to go back already
