Leathers Smithy

Ross Bray

Exceptional. What a way to spend a Monday lunchtime after a walk around the Macclesfield Forest. The pub opened at 12pm and was ready to go. Traditional pub with modern and classic menu with a few specials on the boards. A pub that smells of fine, fresh cooking food on a lunchtime with the sun shining. What could be better? The food was exceptional. Chicken wings and blue cheese dip was best ever! A few beers off, but still had a good range. Plenty of indoor seating, a garden around the back and some benches across the road to the front overlooking the forest and reservoir.

Me and my family go to the Smithy a couple of times a month, and we absolutely love it there. John is a great friendly host and his staff are very professional and friendly also. The food is absolutely top notch, with plenty of choice and variety with a different specials board each week. Plus its location is the very beautiful and picturesque Macclesfield Forest with excellent walks and stunning scenery, so you can have a great walk followed by a pint and some great food.

Always a pleasure to visit. Nice and cosy atmosphere inside for food during or after a walk. There’s always a great selection of vegan options on the main menu and daily specials which are usually very inventive. I found the staff really friendly and happy to help, even at busy times. John the landlord is always interested in feedback, as was the chef yesterday who wanted to see what we thought of a new special! An asset to the area and would happily recommend.
