Modern bar / restaurant in quite a large space that has one subdivision to create a notional side dining area. Also has a fair number of tables out on slightly raised decking areas. Slightly surprisingly, two real ales are offered: Hydes' Lowry and Hopster Blonde from Ralf + Alfred (£3.55).

Nice big bar, tidy place and well kept. One of the more pricier bars in Macclesfield but not unreasonable. Young but pleasant crowd.

Named after the Mandarina silk moth which gave Macc it's fame. Large open plan place with comfortable seating around the outside and dining table and chairs elsewhere. The walls are "distressed" and have quite a few pictures of said moth on the walls. It now serves a couple of Hydes beers which is unusual around here. My pint was in decent nick although I wouldn't consider Hydes to be a favourite brewery of mine. Nowhere near as good as the nearby RedWillow, but it's a decent enough place in its own right these days. We'd call in again.
