Stolen Lamb
Welcome to Stolen Lamb, a distinctive restaurant at 22 Water Lane in Wilmslow that brings a taste of Greece and the Mediterranean right to Cheshire. From the outside it looks stylish and inviting, and once you step inside, the warm lighting, rustic touches, and lively atmosphere set the stage for a memorable meal.
The menu is inspired by authentic Greek traditions, with a focus on bold flavors and sharing-style dining. Mezze plates are a highlight here—think grilled halloumi, hummus, tzatziki, dolmades, and fresh pitta bread served warm. For mains, the slow-cooked lamb dishes really steal the show, especially the kleftiko, which falls apart tender after hours of roasting with herbs and lemon. Seafood lovers are not left out, with options like grilled octopus and seabass that feel both fresh and hearty. Portions are generous, and the presentation has a rustic elegance that fits the restaurant’s character.
What adds to the experience is the communal feel. Food is designed to be shared, making it perfect for groups, families, or even couples looking to enjoy a variety of flavors together. The wine list complements the dishes beautifully, with Greek and European selections that pair well with both the lighter mezze and the richer lamb plates.
Reviews consistently praise the attentive service and the knowledge of the staff, who are more than happy to recommend dishes or explain a bit of the history behind certain recipes. It feels personal, like dining with friends who know the culture inside out.
Stolen Lamb isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to savor the essence of Mediterranean hospitality. Whether you’re popping in for mezze and wine or indulging in a full feast, it delivers an experience that’s flavorful, welcoming, and true to its roots. It’s no wonder it’s become a favorite spot in Wilmslow for both locals and visitors.

Elevated traditional Greek cuisine. I’m even ashamed to say as someone who goes to Greece every year but probably the best kleftiko and chicken souvlaki I’ve ever had. Everything cooked to perfection, really. Delicious baklava too, not too syrupy or overly sweet. The only downside is that the mezze dishes are way too small for the price, but I guess that’s Wilmslow for you.
Really nice food and atmosphere that makes you feel you are in Greece! We went to celebrate a birthday and had a really nice experience. The service was very attentive and the food was very tasty. The dips and halloumi are exceptional, we also ordered the squid, figs and sausages. It is difficult to chose a favourite dish. For mains I ordered the lamb and it was delish! We informed someone had a dietary requirement (could not eat onion or garlic) when we did the booking and they made sure she could have options to eat! We will definitely come back!
Well what can I say….. Eaten at The Stolen Lamb this evening, an excellent authentic Greek Restaurant, the ambience, the service and the food is exceptional. The staff and management are so professional and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend trying this restaurant… I believe this to be one of the best Greek restaurant in the Northwest. The baklava is awesome see picture.
