This is probably my favourite restaurant in town! I absolutely L O V E D it there! The food was…read morephenomenal and cooked to perfection! If your going to splurge I'd suggest doing it here because for three courses it's worth it. I started my meal with pitta bread a hummus, moved onto the classic stake burger and finished my meal with a champagne sorbet. The bread wasn't dry and the burger was just right, and even don't get me started on the sorbet; it was delicious. I've had lots of sorbets at multiple restaurants but this was my all time fave! I thought that with it being a champagne flavour it would overcloud my tastebuds and ruin the effect of the sorbet but it was the complete opposite! I practically woofed it down Overjoyed with our meal and can't wait to dine with this restaurant again X x x

The Ring O'Bells is a lovely little pub tucked away next to the imposing Parish Church of St…read moreElphin's, at the end of Church Street. It's easy to find, as St Elphin's 280ft spire - the third highest of any parish church in England - provides a perfect landmark. The pub is part of an attractive clutch of old buildings next to the church, and is Grade II Listed, although unfortunately there's a large Sainsbury's plonked opposite. Inside, it feels more like a country pub than a town pub: lots of tucked away seating areas (ideal for family or social groups) give it a cosy feel, with some old beams on the ceiling providing the right atmosphere. Real ale fans are well catered for with two regulars and three guest ales, although one of the latter was off on our visit. The food menu is extensive and features traditional pub grub, with main meals, baguettes, sandwiches and baked potatoes. There's a good vegetarian selection, too, and staff were friendly and helpful. The 10 minute walk to the pub from Warrington Town Centre passes several other old pubs, also serving real ale, on Buttermarket Street and Church Street, which would make for a perfect real ale pub crawl, ending at the Ring O'Bells. There's a bus stop a few yards away to get you back to the bus station, if needed!

I'd heard good things about grill on the square so eventually got round to visiting…read more Pros: Nice environment. Good atmosphere. The food looked nice. The main part of the meal tasted nice. Cons: We waited nearly an hour for starers. Some of the staff were arrogant and rude. The main course served on cold plate. Some of the food was moth burning hot whilst parts where stone cold. Parts of the dish were inedible. Tough chewy pork crackling. (Should not of been served) A replacement meal had the same mistake. Not enough was done to rectify the situation and the compensation offered was a joke. The evening was ruined. We ended up going to the Italian round the corner to finish the evening and get something edible to eat. Yes the place was busy but that is no excuse for the rubbish they served. It's a pity because I'm sure on a quieter night the would not make the same mistakes. VERY BAD!!!!!!!!!!

The Rams Head is a lovely traditional pub in the middle of the picturesque cobbled village…read moreGrappenhall. They have seating outside so you can have a beer whilst admiring the old church and scenery and a large beer garden at the back, making it the perfect place to visit on a sunny day. Inside the pub is nice and cosy with comfy chairs, exposed beams and an old fashioned fire place. The food at the Rams head is also very good. They serve high end pub grub and in the week you can take advantage of their offer where 3 courses with a bottle of wine costs £16.95 per person. They also have a happy hour drinks between 3pm and 6pm, weekdays only.

You get a little biscuit with your tea or coffee too! bonus ;-) Would have got 5 but for the fact I tried the chips and though home made, they didnt taste that great. I am sure the rest of the food is lovely, it looks good from what i see as they serve people near me, the chips just werent for me, also no skimmed milk on my last visit, just whole milk so had to have a cup of tea rather than a latte. being picky really.. it really is a nice place :-)

Oooh this pub is looovely, especially on sunny days when you can sit outside in their garden…read more They seem to cater to both locals (lots of old folks) and people like us who were driving though. The staff were all very welcoming, and we were all really impressed with the friendly, efficient service. The menu was full of English comfort foods...and they executed everything beautifully. Just look at my photos to get an idea...I tried the goats cheese and caramelised onion strudel, which came balanced on potatoes and perfect ratatouille. If you ever find yourself in this part of the country, it is definitely worth popping in here for some lunch! *Pro tip: It sounded like they get very booked up in the evening, so ring ahead to ensure you get a table!!

But unlike last time, we didn't have to wait ages for the food. We went at lunch time and it was a bit quiet so may explain why. For starter I went for pate which came with some bread - I always like pate wherever I have eaten it and its never been bad. Its nothing spectacular but tasted good. For main, I went for the cod loin. Decided against going for something I would normally get like a steak and went for something healthier - although the pancetta the cod loin was wrapped in was probably not that healthy! It came with seasoned veg - potatoes, mini carrots and mangetout. Potatoes were quite nice but unfortunately not the carrots or mangetout - tasted like maybe been boiled too long. But overall it was all pretty nice and good service.

The Botanist have a growing number of locations, the big majority of them are in Northern England,…read morethis is one of their newer restaurants which opened towards the end of 2019 in Warrington. The decor inside is typical Botanist style, it does look good and the staff are pretty friendly (although some of them don't seem to be wearing a uniform which meant I didn't even realise someone worked there when I was waiting for a staff member!) It can get pretty busy at peak times, especially in the run up to Christmas, I did originally try to visit on a Sunday afternoon and this place was full, I do recommend making a booking if you can, they do require a credit/debit card for this but they only charge you if you fail to attend, which is a flat £5 (pretty fair, especially considering they can only run at limited capacity to follow government legislation). I was offered a free bottle of prosecco as part of their loyalty scheme which can be redeemed two weeks before (or after) one's birthday, I feel this is a nice gesture, I don't really like prosecco so it's a shame it couldn't be swapped for anything else other than a soft drink, especially considering most of their cocktails are much cheaper anyway - that is an issue with Head Office and it's still a nice gesture to offer something for free. I ordered the gluten-free chorizo and chicken kebab, it seems the recipe has been changed slightly, there seemed to be more garlic butter actually on the chicken rather than pouring it over (which has been replaced by a paprika oil to give it a slight kick), it gave it that extra flavour and tasted really good, the chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly, the chorizo was just OK, and the fries on the bottom were good. My friend, who ordered the fish and chips was also pleased with her dish, she mentioned: "It was almost perfect, however, the curry sauce was a little watery." I also like how they now have a digital bill, not only is this better for the environment but it means I can have a receipt emailed to me and also fill in feedback on the tablet which they serve it on. 4* - The food was really good, and this is one of my favourite locations in The Botanist chain and I will be returning. A couple of flaws mentioned but all in all a pretty good place to grab some food.
