Dinner in Marple

“It was nice to see familiar faces after a year away. The food and service were excellent; the paneer cocktail was something I had never had before, the naans were incredibly fluffy, and the cobra was delicious. The total cost came to about £28 per person. I'm happy to confirm that Marple Spice remains fantastic. The staff was so kind and we will definitely be returning.”

“This place was spectacular. Great service, really polite staff and amazing customers too. The food was outstanding and the drinks (cocktails and wines) were superb. Can't knock the place. Thank you for the great experience!”

“Tonight was our first ever vist to Purple Pakora Marple. I have to say the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, the food was excellent, infact I would say it is the best Biryani I have ever had, my husbands Rogan Josh was also very tasty. Definitely will be back.”

“Food is so good and service is spectacular!!! highly recommend going here.”

“Went here for my sister’s 30th for Sunday lunch with my family. The food was incredible and the gravy was so shiny and delicious and there was loads of it! A true northern restaurant. My grandpa also has dementia and we requested that the food was served quickly. They were very accommodating. Can’t wait to come back and try the small plates.”

“Enjoyed great pizza's and friendly, warm service from this great new find for us. Some traditional options and some interesting and new combinations to explore too. The owner is obviously passionate about pizza and it really shines through - thanks for a lovely meal and best wishes, we'll be back as a family, group or as a couple.”

“Popped in for food and it was AMAZING!! I think new owners have taken it over about a year ago? I'm not too sure, but the menu is fabulous and everything that got brought out of the kitchen looked amazing. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back.”

“Really good fish and chips couldn't fault the food and the service was good had to wait for the fish to be freshly cooked and it was a decent size and perfectly cooked with a well tasty batter will go again soon”

“Visited for the first time with friends, its a lovely, warm local pub and Jo the land lady was very welcoming.”

“I had the seafood here and it was absolutely delicious! Fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. A wonderful dining experience I’d happily repeat”

“First time in here very good service breakfast well presented and yummy.”

“First time here and certainly won’t be the last, minced chicken with lettuce wraps and salt & pepper prawn were the most savoury light delectable starters with duck, rice and the star of the show, steamed whole sea bass for main. My oh my best sea bass I have ever eaten, moist, fell off the bone, intensely savoury liquor, no extra thickeners. Just wow. And Sunny. Sunny sunny sunny. You were the highlight of the evening. Please visit this place you won’t regret it, we will definately be back, same again please ❤️”

“Best fish and chips, friendly staff. Recommend.”

“Really good deli, about the only one in the local area, a bit on the expensive side but some good stuff. The fresh bread they have is really good although they can often sell out midday.”

“The cheeseburger loaded fries were absolutely delicious. Looking forward to working my way through all the other meals on the menu. Service was brilliant and good beer too, what’s not to love”

“Had a lovely meal, the chef even offered to make something not in the current menu, after there wasn’t a great deal of choice for a vegan diner. The waitress Katie was very hospitable, and went above and beyond to make the whole experience even better. Atmosphere was great even for a Tuesday evening. Will definitely be returning”

“I visited the Crown this evening for the Santa photo shoot and for dinner afterwards. The food was gorgeous and the management and staff went above and beyond. My daughter loved (The Real) Santa and we can’t wait to receive our photos. Thank you for a lovely evening. Will be returning very soon.”

“Really amazing friendly staff and the best coffee and scones!”

“Family friendly, dog friendly and all round friendly pub. Great atmosphere and the best pizza for miles around!”

“I came for an evening meal and the staff were immediately kind and very helpful. I was offered a drink whilst I waited at the bar which was amazing and then I was asked if I was ready to be seated upstairs. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff are so friendly and kind. The food was incredible and any time I felt I was ready for another drink or to order more food, there was a staff member near by to help with this. Will definitely be back!”

“Delicious food with wonderful flavours. They had the meal ready for the time I requested, and it was lovely and hot. I have dietary requirements and when I rang the staff were very helpful. There was plenty of choice.”

“We decided to try here after moving to the area. It will be our go to from now on! I absolutely love Chinese food and I can say this is the freshest, tastiest and best prices I have come across in years! The owners are so nice and huge compliments to the chef! Please don’t go anywhere else but here.”

“We had a fantastic meal at the Ring O Bells last week. It was busy (being close to Christmas) but service was prompt and attentive. The good was fantastic and we had the surprise of a Choir singing carols for entertainment. Magical! Can’t wait to book in again soon.”

“11 of us visited on the 20/06/25 for a birthday meal. I hadn't eaten from the Spice Tower for over 6 years when it was under previous management following a poor takeaway. WOW it has changed. I had a takeaway a few weeks ago to test it out before booking for my stepsons birthday meal out and loved it. The family attended for said birthday last night and everybody agreed that the food was delicious and the service great. I personally had the tamarind prawns to start and the chum chum mix for main and couldn't fault it. Great value for money to. I think I've found a new favourite.”

“Flic decided to have a day out in Marple. We started at this lovely Robinson's pub next to Rose Hill station. I am pretty sure I have been here a few times many years ago. Large open plan and plush interior with TV's and an outside terrace, also with a TV. Stairs down to a small beer garden beside a large car park. Three of four handpumps in use on my visit. Went for a seasonal Pale Ale, AMO 4.4%. Really refreshing.”

“It was fantastic meal with great taste and quality Would recommend to anyone looking for nice food”

“So far one of the best indian we ever had, better than some restaurant. Really good price too, i recommend this place”

“Everybody loves a good Chinese take away. With a few Chinese restaurants offered in the area, I can say that this is by far the BEST within a 3 mile radius! Wether you are travelling to pick up, or even waiting over an hour for delivery, it is definitely worth the wait. We ordered sweet and sour pork, chicken fried rice, Prawn toast, sticky beef, ribs and veg spring rolls... all were absolutely bloody delicious. I don't usually like Prawn toast, but woah, those were so *input curse word here for emphasis* good! The crunch, the taste & the sweet and sour sauce to complement were *chef kiss*. My favourite though was the sweet and sour pork. Gosh. I can't even explain it. Over the years I've had sweet and sour pork from so many places, but that.... that was absolute heaven in a box. The pricing for the dishes weren't extortionate at all. It's what you'll expect to pay for a takeaway... we had left overs and still tasted delicious heated up. We will definitely be returning. 100/10 will recommend as this place was recommended to us.”

“Matt has just done a party at my home catered for around 70 to 80 guests and everyone really enjoyed the food ,myself and nicola would definitely recommend him .cheers matt”

“My family and I had an Xmas celebration and get together at the Navigation 27/12/2024. Stacey the landlady allowed us to use the upstairs function room. It was perfect for us. Thank-you so much to Stacey for being so obliging as she had been on a previous occasion”
