The Spring Gardens in Marple Bridge, established in 2016, is the tap house for Fool Hardy Ales, which have been brewed since 2013 at the owners' flagship pub The Hope Inn in Heaton Norris, Stockport. Offering a wide selection of cask ales, craft lagers, continental draught bottled beers, and real cider, this independent boozer provides hearty meals in a refreshing change from typical pub chains. The menu features starters priced between £5-6 and main courses ranging from £8-16.50. One highly recommended dish is the Steak and Fool Hardy dark ale pie served with triple cooked chips and vegetables. The pub has a modern and spacious interior, though the exterior retains an old-fashioned charm. S...
We stopped at this restaurant during our campervan trip. Overall, it was a decent stop. When we arrived, the parking lot was pretty full due to a bowling game, but after waiting for about 2 hours, we were able to find a spot. Since it was free, we decided to meet up with my sister, partner, and son. The five of us had a nice meal at the pub and enjoyed our time there. I recommend that the owners install an outdoor water tap and provide labeled bins for waste recycling. We will definitely be back to visit again.
I had high expectations for this place and it did not disappoint! Great choice of starters, finally narrowed it down to the black pudding stack and it was epic! The roast beef Sunday dinner was even better!! The Yorkshire was perfect, the roasties were buttery...soft and it came with great choice of veggie sides. I could have drunk a full jug of the gravy too. Can’t wait to go back and try some more!!
that was our half stop on a good walk around werneth low, compstall and marple. we all enjoyed eating beef, fish, cheese and beetle cake (and sausages for our dog). a little wait, but it's worth it. probably a little more expensive...as suggested by ta, above. good choice of ales in glorious condition. the young woman who serves is a great advantage for this place.

I don’t often go out for Sunday lunch as I make a pretty decent one myself. Have just come home from Spring Gardens having had one of there sharing platters OMG it was stunning . All the food beautifully cooked hot, fresh and very delicious...The staff were lovely. All covid guidelines in place great value for money. Will definitely go back
I came here with a friend for a tee the other week. eating is of a similar quality as weatherspoons, it felt microshaft and salat tasted old. the staff looked miserable and often gathered behind the bar to go. it sees. popular with local but not so welcoming for newcomers. will not come back.
overnight in our residential property on the way to peak district. absolutely filled after our beautiful Sunday dinner was all hot and tasty we mailed sam to book our parking and table and she ensured that we were good...holt, after I would recommend this stop to fellow passengers
What a lovely pub, very cosy and very personable. The staff are very attentive with their service and make you feel very welcome. I am a pescatarian so I sometimes miss out on all the good stuff that comes with a Sunday dinner ie. rosties..., cauliflower cheese etc

We were recommended by a friend and what a great recommendation too. The best Sunday lunch we've had for years! We definitely be returning, fresh cooked tasty food and amazing service from really friendly staff...thank you so much
Frankly, I'm overwhelmed by how good the Sunday lunch of roast lamb was. It was high end restaurant quality and I'll certainly be going back
