Good Pub Guide Recommended

Civilised chatty dining pub attractively filled with good furniture in thoughtfully laid out rooms; very enjoyable food, lovely garden with pretty views.

Readers continue to like this very friendly and delightfully comfortable Brunning & Price country pub. Its knocked-through rooms have an amiable, homely and sociable atmosphere: they are immaculately kept and ramble gently around the pleasantly lit central bar. Cream walls keep it light, clean and airy, with deep venetian red ceilings adding cosiness, and each room (some with good winter fires) is cleverly furnished with an appealing variety of well spaced sturdy wooden tables and chairs, a couple of tall filled bookcases and just the right amount of carefully chosen bric-a-brac, properly lit pictures and plants. Flooring ranges from red and black tiles, to stripped boards and some carpet. Service is efficient and friendly. Thwaites and Weetwood Eastgate and a couple of guests such as Crouch Vale Brewers Gold and Titanic Lifeboat are very well kept on handpump, alongside a good selection of 16 wines by the glass and just over 20 malts. Sturdy wooden tables on the terrace and picnic sets on the lawn in the neatly kept slightly elevated garden are lovely in summer, with views of the splendid church at the end of the pretty village, and the distant Peckforton Hills beyond.

Good Pub Guide Food

From a changing menu, food is tasty, just imaginative enough, attractively presented, and fairly priced. As well as sandwiches, there might be cheshire cheese patty or potted salt beef starters, lighter dishes like crab and spinach quiche or ‘proper' corned beef hash, and a varied choice of main courses such as slow roasted belly pork, smoked haddock rarebit, roast parsnip and chestnut crumble, and their popular home made steakburger. Puddings could include vanilla and gingerbread cheesecake, bakewell tart or chocolate bread.

Bar food times: 12 - 9.30 (9 Sun)

Good food, very much to the Bunning and Price standard. Extremely friendly staff and nice outdoor seating area.

What a friendly pub! A very appetising menu, although the dishes we chose fell slightly short of expectation in the flavour stakes. My risotto was over seasoned and slightly reminiscent of a packet mix! Good real ale selection, including a few local beers, which is always nice to see. Overall, a pleasant dining experience and a lovely atmosphere.

We went to this pub for lunch on the way to beeston castle in feb half term and we had a lovely afternoon. The pub came as a nice suprise the decor was pleasant the place was spottless the staff were also pleasant. The pub was running a special sausage week so the children were happy it was a little pricey but not bad value. Very glad we looked it up after reading about on here

We found the pub to be friendly and comfortable, but unfortunately the food was a big disappointment--especially considering our expectations from the menu. Overall, the dishes were just plain dull, showing none of the exotic or creative touches promised on the menu. It was truly food to yawn over, e.g. venison pie that was all stodgy pastry and very little meat; fish stew that was all tomato and peppers so that the fish could have been anything. Moreover, the bread portion, although huge, was dry and tasteless, and the butter pats had bits of green paper napkin stuck to it. House wine was OK. Service was very friendly.
