We had a North Cheshire CAMRA meeting here and were extremely impressed with the whole pub. Landlord and Landlady are very pleasant and genuinely seem to enjoy being there. The service was superb despite being inundated with "strangers" on a usually very quiet Monday night.
We have now had a return visit along with my youngest son, his wife and two daughters (3 and 4 yrs old). We were welcomed and extremely well looked after, despite there being a 90th Birthday celebration in progress already. The meals we had were nothing short of excellent and we chatted with the cook afterwards about how much nicer hand-made chips are than any alternative. All of the food was freshly prepared and very tasty.
Although we had the advantage of Coach House Brewery giving us a talk and tasting session, it appears that the pub always has a good selection of real ales on handpull, including many of Coach House's products. All the usual keg beers seemed to be available for those who prefer them and a fair selection of spirits and wines.
The pub serves food between mid-day (12.00) and 5pm and we intend to return sometime soon to sample the menu, which offers a few basic, wholesome meals.
There is a fine car park and, best for us, the bus stop is right outside!
Bents customers would do well to cross the road and sample the delights of a good pub, provided they haven't already spent up! read more
