We have eaten here on many occasions but not been for a couple of years. I'm sad to say we were disappointed. One of our group had Sunday roast, some veg was cool and some hard and possibly frozen Yorkshire pud which he couldn't eat. Meat was bland and of poor quality.Wish I'd taken a pic of the Aberdeen Angus burger, which wasn't cheap, but not worth the money. I had my fave cheese pie which sadly was bland and weirdly wobbly like it had gelatin in it, it was just warm with a few chips and just warm beans. Only saving grace was dessert. Prices have increased, which I guess is expected in the current climate, but portion sizes have reduced. The pub seems to have lost some of its warm charm, I can't put my finger on it. Sorry
After enjoying a delightful stroll in the local area, we arrived at the establishment. Despite not having made a reservation, we managed to secure a table. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance to guarantee availability. For my meal, I opted for the chicken dish which was incredibly flavorful, accompanied by leeks and veggies. Meanwhile, my partner decided to have a light snack and ordered the Nachos starter. The portion size was quite generous, as evident from the picture, and could easily serve as a main course. It offered excellent value for money. Overall, the food was delicious, and the service provided by the staff members was exceptionally friendly, efficient, and pleasant. I would certainly consider returning in the future. Please note that if you choose to utilise their carpark, it is free of charge. However, it is essential to register your vehicle upon arrival.
Can dine in or out. Great atmosphere near greenery. Great selection of food, including onion rings where you can taste the onions! Some of the best onions I’ve ever had, in fact.
Solid, traditional pub. Dogs allowed (required) in the bar area. Good base to grab lunch, then off for a walk around Dunham Massey or along the canal.
Traditional style pub building. Lots of parking available at the back. The place was lovely and warm with the weather being freezing outside. I had the salmon which was very nice. Vegetables could have been fresher. Desserts were excellent.
