What they say
This Grade II listed building has long been one of Cheshire's most attractive country inns. We pride ourselves on using fresh and locally sourced food through excellent suppliers, to create a menu that fully embraces the flavours of the region. Alongside our current menu we have a specials board, which allows the chefs to demonstate their culinary skills on a daily basis. We have an extensive wine list with 50 bottles to choose from, and over 15 of these available by the glass. Four cask ales are on sale at any one time, with Timothy Taylors Landlord and Black Sheep proving to be the most popular. Guest ales change on a weekly basis, and are sourced locally. We also have a three tiered garden which is ideal in the sunshine. Whenever you choose to pay us a visit, you will always be guaranteed a warm welcome and friendly service.

Good Pub Guide Recommended

Stylishly simple country interior, warm welcome and very helpful service, good food, good wine list, courtyard and garden
Old tiled and boarded floors at this discerningly laid out airy place carry a comfortable mix of country furnishings, from cushioned long wood pews (rescued from a welsh chapel) to scrubbed pine farmhouse tables and a mix of old chairs. The wine list (well over a dozen by the glass) is short but well chosen and very reasonably priced, and beers are Black Sheep, Tetleys, Timothy Taylors Landlord and a guest from local Storm; piped music. Outside you'll find picnic sets on a cobbled courtyard, metal café furniture on a wooden deck, and picnic-sets in an enclosed well manicured beer garden.

Good Pub Guide Food

Food is thoughtfully prepared and features traditional dishes with an appealing twist. As well as a short snack menu (they call it british tapas) and upmarket sandwiches (not evenings), dishes might include pigeon and roast shallot puff pastry pie with watercress and spinach purée, crab cakes with grilled chilli marinated prawns with tomato and coriander salsa, battered fish with mushy peas, provençal-style fish stew with saffron potatoes and crisp air-dried ham, roast chicken breast with pea mousse, chorizo purée and mushroom tart, and ewe cheese and onion tart with rocket leaves, artichoke hearts, almonds and scorched cherry tomatoes.

Bar food times: 12 - 2.30, 5 - 9, Sat 12 - 9.30; 12 - 8 Sun

Very disappointing visit to what is a Main Entry in the GPG! We felt that the place wasn't sure whether it was a pub or restaurant and consequently fell between the two stools. No drinkers at the bar and a just a couple of couples eating besides ourselves. Despite the GPG saying they have an extensive snack menu which they call British tapas - they don't! The staff hadn't heard of any such thing! In fact the menu on offer bore no relationship to that in the GPG! The food tries to be up-market chic and is priced accordingly but what arrives is disappointing - small portions of not very well flavoured fishy nibbles in our case with some slices of not quite fresh breads, and expensive too! Service is effective but the staff appeared rather disinterested in what they were doing.Despite the dish being advertised as 'for sharing' it wasn't long after we left before we found a decent tea room and stocked up again on cakes and buns!
