  “Beautiful place with beautiful surroundings but the Sunday roast was a huge letdown. Half the food was lukewarm and nothing tasted as good as it looked.”

  “Loved this place, what a hidden gem! Food was lovely. Surprised at the bowling green but a lovely addition and we played, boules are complimentary to use. Lovely seating outside, with shade umbrellas, really couldn't fault it.”

  “Very disappointed. Have always eaten well here in the past and as we wanted to celebrate, we were prepared to pay a bit more. However didn’t expect so many dishes to have sold out on a Saturday evening… at least two starters and two main courses which meant that neither of my first choices were available. The food we had was tasty although the crispy kale was rather greasy. On a positive note, the cocktails were good, and the staff friendly, helpful, and ready to adapt dishes for special dietary requirements. However, I have never encountered a restaurant of this size that has run out of so many things on a Saturday evening, even if everything is freshly made! Surely they must know how many covers are booked in for the day and plan accordingly? Book early to avoid disappointment!!”

  “A great find (although actually a little difficult to find so use Google Maps!), and very near to the M66. The place has a great atmosphere. The staff were very warm and welcoming, and very attentive (particularly Adrian). The restaurant was very willing to make on-the-spot changes to the listed menu for one our party on a restricted diet. The ambiance of the place is smart casual, with a good buzz, great decor and low but not difficult lighting. Parking was good, right outside the premises. The menu was wide ranging, with an à la carte and a set-price-set-menu, and we ordered from both at our table. The price range very reasonable for the quality of food, and type of venue. The food itself was served in good time, but not rushed, very well presented (see my pictures) and extremely tasty. ♿️Access for less able people was very good. Good parking, all on one level, wide doors, clear space between tables and accessible toilets. We had a great night out, certainly plan to go again, and thoroughly recommend this delightful find.”

  “First visit here and what a little gem we have found. Lovely relaxed ambience with friendly attentive staff.bookings come with a 2 HR slot which is more than enough for a lovely relaxing experience which doesn't feel rushed allowing time to chat and relax between courses. My husband had the soup of the day and I had pate( I asked for extra bruschetta) and it came with more than enough!! For main we both had the chicken roulade which was exquisite , followed by strawberry cheesecake for hubby and sticky toffee pudding for myself, this was on another level,with homemade custard and a thin crispy topping. Amazing experience, definitely be returning soon.”

  “What a fabulous night we had, service, food, atmosphere all spot on. 10 people out for dinner and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Food was all cooked to perfection! My uncle just mentioned he always loved a knickerbocker glory.. and the waiter said ....leave it with me . Next thing out popped one! Perfect night!”

  “This is one of the best restaurants I have visited so far in north-west England. The excellent service provided by the staff stands out, along with the atmosphere and 10-star food. I arrived with my wife and daughter and we enjoyed a great afternoon, perfect weather for enjoying the terrace, with good music and outdoor dining. When you arrive, they ask you what you would like. Whether you would like a drink before your meal, or if you would like to eat straight away. They have some great starters that are perfect for trying a variety of dishes. In our case, we ordered a couple of starters and I ate them before taking the photo. Sorry, but my hunger betrayed me. I definitely recommend the starters, they are spectacular! We ordered grilled sirloin and it was fresh and very tasty. Everything else, such as vegetable salads and side dishes, was served with great professionalism, one dish after another, without any hassle or waiting. The prices are relatively competitive in the area, but in this case, taking into account the cosy atmosphere of the terrace and how much we enjoyed the views around us, the price-value ratio of what was served was fair. I highly recommend this restaurant. I apologise again for uploading images of the dishes we sampled, but I will definitely return. This place is highly recommended, and I hope to help you enjoy your next visit to this lovely place!!!”

  “Went for the afternoon tea at £25pp was excellent value. All the food items were quality ingredients and super tasty. The scone was warm, which was a plus, and you got a good clotted cream and jam ratio to scone. lt only lost one star for service because we waited a while for the second pot of tea, but it was busy, and we could see staff were really trying to serve everyone so overall the service was good. My son ate from the main menu and had : Starter - Crab starter Main - Beef burger and chips Dessert - Honeycomb sundae We paid a £10 pp deposit, and our total bill with three diet cokes was £100. I felt all in all it was worth it. Would definitely come again.”

  “Lovely Bistro set in a beautiful location. The staff were super friendly and I would've eaten everything on the menu, great choice for everyone! We revisited this evening and were not disappointed. I would however like to mention a certain member of the serving staff. I don't know his name, he has a beard and we have been lucky enough to be served by him on several occasions. He has a fantastic way with customers, very knowledgeable of the food and local area. He just makes our visit special and is an asset to the restaurant!”
