The Lord Clyde — Restaurant in England

We chose to stop at the Lord Clyde on a walk on Wednesday because I checked the Facebook site on Monday that said the pub was opening for lunch on Wednesday at 12. We arrived just before 11.50 with the intention of waiting outside until the pub opened at 12. However the door was open, the lights were on and staff around so we politely asked if the bar was open. We were asked if we were with with Astra Zeneca, we said no so we were told abruptly that the pub was shut for a private party and they would not serve us a drink. We sat outside for a few minutes during which time a sign was put outside saying the pub was shut for a private party. Would have been far better to have politely explained the situation and offered to serve us a drink at least if we had waited until the official opening time.

The Lord Clyde has worked really hard to accommodate customers with the Covid restrictions since the lockdown parameters lifted. There are a number of additional outside tables with a lovely wooden pergola now in place which has outdoor patio heaters to keep you warm. (Hot water bottles can also be requested, lovely idea)! The other tables are at present covered with gazebos to cope with the spring weather. There is now a fabulous horse trailer providing hot and cold drinks, Bacon and Sausage Butties and the most amazing homemade chocolate brownies!! The menu for outdoor dining is one of the best in the area. It’s high quality pub grub served by lovely helpful and friendly ladies, Caroline and Katy. Caroline’s the cook’s cakes are absolutely delicious!! Sue and Julian have worked hard, the place looks great and the food is well cooked, well presented and good value for money! Well done Lord...

Made a special walking trip from Macclesfield to The Lord Clyde A Facebook post this week said the pub was open for lunch at 12. On arriving about 11.50 and walking through the open door the two grumpy bar maids said no drinks or food as they were only catering for a party that day, despite the pub being open and there just being two of us. Very unfriendly and unapologetic staff. We sat outside and watched them put a sign outside saying closed. Won’t...
