“We stopped here on our way home as Cheshire is known for having excellent pub lunches. However we ordered here and the food was lifeless and bland. Posh pub prices and cheap pub food, really disappointed. The Kids burger smelt like you'd get from a cheap fairground ride and the bun was stale. The pie we ordered was tasteless and the pastry was undercooked on the bottom (raw). Unfortunately I would not recommend stopping here for food.”

“Visited at lunch time the staff were very attentive and welcoming. We had the fish and chips. The portion was quite large so would get the smaller meal next time.”
