Keith was a fantastic host and couldn't have been kinder or more attentive. Food very enjoyable. Sausage and garlic bread a little overdone but overall no complaints at all and we enjoyed our visit. Atmosphere very relaxed and we're looking forward to our next visit.

Wow. What a great visit to Hesketh Arms we had. Keith gave us such a warm welcome and looked after us throughout our visit. He is one of the friendliest people we have met. Keith knew the menu off by heart and informed us what we needed to know. He was attentive and so pleasant. I just wish we had had some spare cash to leave as a tip as we only had our card to pay the bill with. The food was amazing and plenty of it. The lamb duo is superb and the home made pie was perfection. Hot food cooked perfectly. Hats off to all the staff at the Hesketh Arms. A must visit. It was clean with plenty tables and space to move about. We also loved that it is dog friendly as we love all animals. Great selection of drinks at the bar too. Parking is on site and the village is perfect for an afternoon stroll through the botanical gardens. Go see the aviary within the gardens. Lovely walk with pond and birds/rabbits/guinea pigs. Superb visit to Churchtown. Thank you all

On entering the Hesketh, we were greeted with Merry Christmas, our waitress was a lovely friendly girl called Sofia, very polite & professional, our food was delicious, well presented and plenty of it, hands up to the chef on what must be the busiest time of the year for them, thanks to Lucy & team for organising the event x♥️🎄🎅🎄🎅👏🏻👏🏻

What a difference a week and a full pub makes. Booked a table for 4 online, Sunday roast. We ordered 2 vegetarian, a vegan and a meat dishs from the carvery menu. Good portion sizes and great selection of desserts. One can order a mini desert which come with desert and a hot drink. We all had an alcoholic beverages . Worked out £25.00 per person. Excellent parking facilities with ANPR. Don't forget to enter your reg on the console in the bar as one enters. Our waitress Tamsin was friendly, professional and attentive, there were plenty more pleasant staff around. Despite having a table of 11 our foods or drinks were all on time. Would recommend.

From my first step in the Hesketh Arms i was welcomed by a polite member of staff who took us through to the restaurant. The waitress Sofia was faultless, she was full of smiles and provided amazing service. I asked her to surprise me with dessert of her choice and wow wow wow. The ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. Thank you for a wonderful time. Massive thank you to Sofia i shall definitely be visiting again.
