Superb Sunday Lunch, fresh vegetables, piping hot, by Chef Mark, normally choice of Beef, Chicken, Turkey, try also the Liver and Onions, and the Scampi with fresh cut chips.Great Pub, reasonable prices on drinks from Samuel Smith Range
A Digital Detox pub! It's Mr Smith's policy, it's a blanket ban on using laptops, tablets and mobiles. It encourages people to talk to each other, just like in the good old days! Anyway, we had two homemade Sunday lunches, not dinged in a microwave. The landlord was stoking up the coal and log fires while I washed down my lunch with two pints of Old Brewery Bitter. Look at my other reviews to see where I've been!
Recently called in for lunch, myself and my husband opted for the liver and onions served with fresh vegetables (carrots, broccoli and cabbage), creamy mashed potato and delicious gravy. Another family member opted for the scampi served with homemade chips, mushy peas and tartar sauce. Nothing microwaved here just good home cooking, the chef knows how to cook! Service was very good and a very friendly warm welcome by staff. Prices excellent.
I have been drinking in this pub since 1988 and it has managed to retain the atmosphere of a traditional pub throughout that time. Food is really good and made not microwaved like a lot of places. Took a friend there for some food and he loved it and as for the digital detox (no phones or iPads), I purposely leave my phone in the car as no phone call is that important and gives me an hour to forget about emails, texts and calls. You can keep phone on silent and go outside if you really need to take a call. Took kids in a week ago without phones and had an actual conversation with them 😀.
Disappointed Called in for a quick drink as we were passing & thought it looked lovely from the outside. Gentleman behind the bar serviced us & was lovely. Very cheap drinks which was great, we love to visit real old pubs. I had a very important phone call & was rudely told by the waitress to come off the phone & I can only use it outside while I was still ON the phone. Very confused as I was in a pub & have never been asked to come off my phone before 🤣 I later saw a sign saying you weren’t aloud to use phones in the pub & that children also aren’t aloud unless eating which doesn’t set a very friendly warm atmosphere. Bad first impression & due to this I wouldn’t return.

Tucked away in beautiful surroundings in the country lanes near Dunham Massey, the Rope and Anchor is a modern country pub worth discovering.
