Featured Birch Vale Restaurants
1. Old Hall Inn
British, Modern restaurant in Chinley
Whitehough - SK23
2022 Review: This Grade II-listed former coaching inn incorporates fourteenth-century Whitehough Hall, whose dining room with a minstrels’ gallery provides a medieval setting for the “excellent food” served here. Former banker Daniel Capper took over the running of his childhood home when a leaseholder failed.
2. Kambuja (was Angkor Soul)
Pan-Asian restaurant in Marple
12 Stockport Rd - SK6
2021 Review: “All the Cambodian food is tasty and authentic”, and for lunch they serve “flavoursome” soups, filled baguettes and noodle dishes at this “small and cramped” operation – which (with its spin-offs) is quite possibly the only restaurant of its type in northern England. In the basement they buy and sell second-hand vinyl – hence the name. Branches have now opened in Altrincham and, most recently, Stockport market.
3. The Fisherman's Table
Fish & seafood restaurant in Marple
103 Church Lane - SK6
2021 Review: A “new restaurant serving ultra-fresh fish from Fleetwood” (but also Shetland scallops, Irish sea trout and Cornish monkfish), set up by fishmonger Jamie Barrett, who owns the Marple Fish shop round the corner. A former car spares shop, it's now a hybrid country-pub and beach shack, style-wise.
4. Hyssop
British, Modern restaurant in Glossop
54 High Street West - SK13
2023 Review: Fooderati insider Thom Hetherington was amongst those sending out an SOS on behalf of this well-regarded neighbourhood restaurant in his hometown, which was gutted by fire in September 2022. By the end of the month it had crowdfunded the money to re-open and restore its mix of funky small plates (typically you would order 7-8 in a meal), plus gins, cocktails and a thoughtful small selection of wines.
5. The Swan Inn
British, Modern restaurant in Kettleshulme
Macclesfield Rd - SK23
“A pub that can serve ultra-fresh, skillfully cooked seafood is a rare treat” – “this country inn in the hills above Macclesfield” has a “light and comfortable small dining room adjacent to the old bar”. It enjoys “strong support from the village”, which clubbed together 20 years ago to buy the freehold when the pub was threatened with closure.
6. The Pack Horse
British, Modern restaurant in Hayfield
3-5 Market Street - SK22
It’s “well worth a trip out” to the Peak District National Park to find this “exceptional” small village gastroboozer; chef Luke Payne’s “upmarket food with a northern twist” has won the seal of approval from many a national restaurant critic, and there are excellent walks from the door.
