Good Menu, not over cheap but that keeps out the riff raff looking for a £2.99 meal. I have had lunch in here three times recently and never been disappointed. The service is very good and staff polite. Food above average for a pub and that is good enough for me. There is plenty of space indoors and out. There... More

The food is freshly cooked and tastes superb. The staff are always friendly and helpful. They have live bands on some weekends and other special events. They have a seperate restaurant with waitress service or you can sit in the pub area and order your food your self. There is a lovely seating area outside. I would thoroughly recommend John... More

My friend moved to New Zealand 35 years ago and has returned to the UK for a month. I took her to The John Millington for lunch and could not fault the meal or the service. The food was fabulous and the staff so accommodating when we told them we were catching up on 35 years. I have eaten here... More

3 of us went here last night for a meal and were disappointed. We ordered soft drinks which came quickly and staff remembered not to put ice in the lemonade. You would surprised how often this request gets missed, so that was a small but good start. We decided to order some wine, but there was no wine list. Had... More

My birthday meal was at The John Millington ,it fell on Good Friday so we expected the service to be a little slow. The meal was wonderful, the Staff were very attentive. The bar was extremely busy but did not spoil the relaxed atmosphere in the dining room. Would definitely recommend. This is the fourth time we have eaten at... More

Have just visited the john millington for sunday lunch and want to share what a lovely experience I had. I had the camembert and onion chutney to start, roast lamb with all the trimmings and despite being full a choclate sponge for dessert. All the food was spot on, taste, portion size and presentation wise. Tried the burnt sienna ale... More

We've had weekday lunches at the John Millington several times and always really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Today however we decided to try the Sunday lunch for the first time - wow! I had the pâté with chutney to start which was certainly homemade and absolutely delicious. Not having had a decent roast for a while I opted for... More

Four of us visited The John Millington in Cheadle Hulme on a busy Saturday night. In fact, the place was so crowded we initially struggled to find a table and nearly had to go elsewhere. Although this was frustrating, it is a sign of how well regarded the pub is, especially at a time when pubs are closing by the... More

Again we had the most gorgeous fillet steaks cooked perfectly, great service and great atmosphere. Pick the mini starters I believe there is 3 for so much (sorry I can't remember the price) they have a great selection and are really tasty.
