I always order the baked potato although they do have other vegetarian options. The food is always good. With the baked potato and some other meals you get a visit to the salad bar. It's always full of fresh salad and pastas. Though if you go later on in the day it may not be that re-stocked. Even though it's busy it is not a rowdy place and is full of elderly customers. Something to bear in mind if you are a big group of twenty-somethings looking for some lunch. They have a fab dessert display. Although I am usually too full to eat anything else. I ordered the meringue once, which is a very popular choice but I couldn't eat it. Really not to my tasting. Mum enjoyed it though. Service is ok. Sometimes it's quick and efficient other times you can be waiting a while for your drinks and food. But I understand that they are very busy and we always seem to go at their busiest time.

The main reason I love the Country Mouse is because when I was a child, my grandmother owned a gift…read moreshop back in Maine, USA by the same name. I have such fond memories of that gift shop that she ran out of the back of their old stone farmhouse, and when I saw The Country Mouse tea shop at Brimstage Hall I was instantly enchanted. They do a lovely cream tea here, which a friend of mine and I enjoyed after wandering around the little crafty/artsy/antique shops. It was definitely a good standard, and very traditionally British, so it makes a good place to bring visitors from other countries. Update: Just had another fine visit to the Country Mouse today and had a delicious piece of coffee & walnut cake. Very tasty!

The plate was overflowing with all the trimmings so no issues with the quantity. I also had the coca cola ribs for starters and they were very tasty and cooked to perfection.

We have been several times before and have always been completely satisfied with the quality and quantity of the food, and the efficient service from the staff. They are attentive and we have never had to wait for our food and drinks. Overall I say excellent value for money and well worth a visit.

They Web site doesn't tell, but I think that it actually used to be a large house. There are a couple of fireplaces, and in the winter they have real log fires burning.

The wait staff and bar tender were very friendly, and it was really enjoyable chatting with some of them. This is a great place to take guests visiting from other countries as it's a very traditional, English experience. I would definitely eat here again, and highly recommend it.

Well, you can't get more authentic than a thatched roof and a bunch of friendly locals now can you? Sigh, even at the tender age of 26 I'm thinking this is the sort of place I could happily retire. In wintertime I imagine this pub would feel especially cosy, with a roaring fire and snug little corners. The drink prices are pretty normal really, rather reasonable and food-wise it actually has an award-winning chef at the helm. The restaurant is kind of separate but it's still perfectly acceptable to grab a few beverages and take them through with you. There's plenty of choice and everyone is well catered for, including vegetarians, plus the desserts are really something else and everything is truly homemade. Lunchtime special offers also come much appreciated.

Had dinner with family here. The food was presented very well and it's was of quite good quality…read morebut have to say for me the smoke haddock fish cake did not have the intense flavours that I've come to associate with this fish and the lamb shoulder although beautifully served, soft and tender, was sadly overpowered by the mint that had been incorporated to the meat. On the side would have been perfect so that you could savour the sweet and tender lamb and add mint to your taste. The service by the waiters was very good, however they were left to deal with one issue that I think bears mentioning. I was refused to choose a starter dish from the Market Manu and a main dish from the Main Menu, even though I offered to pay full price. The reason given were mostly that the chef did not permit that. I think this lets down the level of customer service as it did not seem reasonable. Perhaps this should be made clear to customers at the start so they will know that you can only choose from one or the other menu. Otherwise it was a pleasant evening.

To say that I am facinated by history and the mythical uncertainty of our past would be an…read moreunderstatement. Our very own history can teach us so many lessons for the future. Take Greasby village for example, did you know that this part of Britain could potentially have been one of the first place in the UK to be occupied by humans?? In his book 'Ancient Britain' (published in 1997) James Dyer describes the structure found at Greasby and states his belief that it "seems almost certainly to be the earliest dwelling found in Britain". He dates it at around 8000 BC!!!!!! Damn!!!!! Thus dining at the Manor for me anyway is an experience and a half with this newly found observational knowledge. A lot of people will say what does it matter!!! Who cares!! Well I guess I'm just a curious soul who is interested in little details like, how old is this place and what was here previously!! This cosy candle lit restaurant retreat in the Greasby village will have you coming back for more. That is if you are an avid "British cuisine" fan which unfortunately I am not. So my enjoyment of the place kinda slows down when it comes to the food. Although the Pot roasted shank of lamb cooked with apricots and raisins in a red wine sauce was ok, it was nothing more. Other options include Roast suckling pig (puke!!!!!!!!) with a sage and apple relish served with a rich(politically incorrect no?) gravy / Homemade game(is it addictive) pie cooked with root vegetables and beer with a pastry crust(very healthy!!??). Fillet steak stuffed with haggis(sounds wrong always dirty almost, Hagggis, like its gone off or something) and coated with a Drambuie glaze. Look it ain't for me the food, but it might be for you. It is a gorgeous place and I would happily take a lady friend for a romantic dinner here and be ok with having the "ok" food as long as the evening is a breeze which the ambiance of this place should be a doddle. Such a shame its British cuisine though!! Still great though, check it out!!
