Reviews in Macclesfield

Really enjoyed the food , friendly helpful staff, only criticism was the food came out not together as a party of 5 so felt awkward waiting for everyone to eat together. Member of staff did apologise for this though.

Food was good, unfortunately came with a party if 5 and only 3 meals came out together, so felt awkward to eat waiting for the other 2 people to eat, staff friendly and decor was historical and lovely, a nice place to go locally.

We visited on Mother’s Day with my little girl (3years). First impression was great. Spotlessly clean and really friendly staff. We enjoyed the roast and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We will definitely return.

Delicious meal and professional & friendly service in a great setting. Glad the restaurant has maintained standards over the years. Personally I thought my tuna starter was ever so slightly overcooked but otherwise a delicious meal!

Fantastic food and excellent service.

Before going I had heard mixed things about the service not being great but I wanted to see for myself. The restaurant has a nice interior. We were given a £4.99 bottle of Prosecco from Aldi and charged £30 for it. We had a 40 minute wait for the food (there was only 4 other tables in) when the food did arrive there was no apology. The food was nice but it didn’t blow me away and I’ve had much nicer tapas in Macclesfield and Bollington. I emailed the restaurant to let them know how disappointed I was and I’ve heard nothing back. I will not be going back and I would not recommend.

Loved It Food was delicious Service excellent

We had heard great things about this restaurant but it exceeded our expectations. Friendly & attentive service, lovely ambiance, stylish but relaxed and excellent food. The quality of all food served was fabulous. It is also nice to find fine dining with good portions. A real treat evening, we will be back. Thank you

Visited for a birthday lunch and was not disappointed. Great menu selection and excellent service. Look forward to our next visit.

Lovely evening spent with my partner. Booked an evening table for 7pm. Had a nice cosy corner in the restaurant area. Table service was pretty quick and all the staff were very friendly. The food choices available were plentiful and portion sizes were more than adequate to share between 2 people. Have to say the food was lovely......we didn't leave a thing which is usually a good sign. The only criticism about the evening was the menu itself. It was the green lettering on a black background. With the low lighting it made it difficult to see and we had to use our phones to illuminate them. Apart from that we haven't got a bad thing to say about Lilac at The Chestergate. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and we will certainly be back sometime soon.

Food is very good but unfortunately there were not enough staff on duty and they were clearly very stressed and chaotic. Not their fault and they did their best. Would be better to hold guests downstairs in the bar and take them up to the restaurant when the table is ready and stagger the bookings more.

I thought a few year ago the food wasn’t as good so I stopped going. However I have been twice in the last month with family and friends and everyone has loved it. The food has improved a lot, though sometimes they don’t have certain items . It’s definitely improved and I will be going more often now. thanks

Honestly some of the best tapas we’ve ever had, we love going out for food 3/4x a week and this was amazing the staff were super friendly, informative and a laugh. The atmosphere was great the drinks great! (Even if they didn’t get to have the blueberry daiquiri) food great! everything! We cannot complain and would not about a single thing we are coming back every week!!

Have visited on many occasions and always amazing. Took my parents for my mother’s 60th and it’s the first time they’ve been and they were thrilled with the whole experience and food. Food is fantastic, service is second to none and fantastically priced. Cannot speak highly enough of Bacchus and the team
