Customer Review Summary
The Sunday roast beef draws the most consistent praise, described repeatedly as perfectly pink, tender, and served with crispy roast potatoes, a fluffy Yorkshire pudding, and generous gravy. Close behind, the soy glazed roast chicken with skin on fries earns a standout mention for its chilli jam, and the steak pie and fish and chips (the latter served with a glass of wine included) also get called out as tasty and good value. The Carvery Board launch and live music evenings add to the positive picture, with staff repeatedly called friendly, attentive, and patient even with fussy eaters. A Christmas Day visit was more mixed: the soup starter was too peppery for some and the tart "less impressive," though the turkey dinner and vegetarian sides went down well. One reviewer, while praising the food and staff, flagged only a pricing promotion rather than any real complaint. Diners frequently mention returning, and several call the value, including set deals and included drinks, a strong point.

“I visited this Sunday and was treated to one of the most satisfying roasts I’ve had in a long time. The atmosphere was everything you'd expect from a cozy British pub—warm lighting, friendly chatter, and the comforting smell of roast dinners in the air. The roast itself was outstanding. I opted for the beef, which was perfectly pink in the middle and tender throughout. It came with all the traditional trimmings—crispy roast potatoes, vibrant seasonal vegetables, and a Yorkshire pudding that was both fluffy and crisp. The gravy tied everything together beautifully, rich and generously poured. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff seemed genuinely passionate about what they were serving. The portion size was generous, making it a great value for the price. I paired the meal with a good berry cider, which complemented the roast nicely. If you're looking for a classic, comforting Sunday meal in a relaxed setting, The Hesketh hits the mark. Highly recommended for anyone craving a traditional British roast done right.”
