About The Golden Pheasant
For anyone after a straightforward countryside stopover built around good food rather than flashy design, The Golden Pheasant on Plumley Moor Road near Knutsford fits the brief. It's a pub-hotel at heart, with a restaurant and bar that draw plenty of custom for their cooking, including well-regarded Sunday roasts and a fixed-price menu that offers decent value. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff attentive, making it an easy choice for couples, families or groups wanting a night away without fuss.
Rooms are en-suite and include family options, with drinks available in room and packed lunches on request for those heading out during the day. It's worth noting that some rooms show their age and could do with more upkeep, so this suits guests prioritising the food and setting over polished interiors. Breakfast is served each morning, and facilities extend to free WiFi, a garden with outdoor seating, an electric vehicle charge point, and free on-site parking.
The surrounding area offers a golf course, pubs, restaurants and other eateries nearby, along with entertainment options for evenings out. Kids meals are available for younger guests, and 24-hour reception means arrivals aren't tied to a strict schedule. It's a fitting base for exploring Cheshire's countryside at a relaxed pace.

2nd time family Sunday lunch today. Both visits were excellent. The dining area is well laid out and the staff are brilliant, with a friendly and profession service. Well informed in terms of the menu and possible allergies. As to the food - absolutely amazing with a great choice of roasts and trimmings. There's a large outside garden area with room for the kids to play while the adults get settled. Overall a great place to eat -5 stars / highly recommended. Thanks

The food was great! I ordered the triple decker club sandwich and it was really well made and delicious! Gorgeously decorated pub with a lovely fireplace and quiet vibe :) We were served by Nathan who was so lovely and accommodating! He told us about today's specials and had good knowledge about the menu. Thank you!
