It was the first time we had entered a pub since March due to this pandemic! We popped in here…read moreafter spending the day at the Gardening Centre across the road. I was a little bit apprehensive at first but it was not too busy and the staff put us at ease. We were seated and given quick instuctions of how to order etc. I was not massively hungry after snaffling a cake across the road so had a potted mushroom starter £4.99 and my partner chose the steak salad for £7.50. To be honest I was not expecting much in terms of the steak for that price but I was pleasantly proven wrong. It arrived in a large salald bowl cooked to perfection. The salad was not imaginative filled with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, peppers and lettuce and it was a challenged trying to cut steak in a fish bowl but it was really good value for money.. My mushrooms were okay but i used thick peppercorn sauce to dip the steak in. Overall a nice friendly pub which I am glad to see doing okay after these few months .

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!

She is very self-conscious and has difficulty cutting food with one partly-functioning hand, and hates fuss. She was at ease in a quiet corner and had the confidence to ask if there was any possibility of having an omelette. The chef agreed, offered a range of toppings and instead of feeling like an inconvenience, my aunt felt like a queen. Today was the first time she's had a meal, having been unable to eat more than toast recently. She had a little giggle with other diners and was amazed at the care staff gave to our old dog. We took her home, tired, happy and well-fed, to have a sleep. I cannot express how grateful I am for all the trouble and care Dana? (apologies for spelling ) Chef and your f.o.h staff took to bring her happiness. The food was terrific, and so was the beer.

Love me an English pub, and this is certainly a typical one. It's near Liverpool city centre, so…read morewalkable to just about everything including the docks. Given it's solid location, it was surprised that it was super busy both times we popped in. It's cozy inside with plenty of seating. As with many places in the UK, it's an order-at-the-bar type of thing. Meaning, no one is coming to a table to serve you. We grabbed a few pints and decided to head out back. There you'll find this huge courtyard like space with a giant tent above it. So it's technically outside and open-aired, but completely covered. Sprawling tables and benches are about that everyone shares. A great communal atmosphere! On our second visit here during our time in Liverpool, we grabbed a bite to eat. They have a good size food menu including shareables/bar snacks, classics, burgers, and sandwiches. Sadly they were out of the salt & pepper chicken we hoped to order, so instead we went with fish and chips. A GREAT second pick because it was truly your classic English dish - the fish was battered but not overly like they tend to do in the US. Love the chunky chips (fries) too. Decent prices, great atmosphere, perfect location. Stop in!

When he told me about the name of the pub (several times), I was enchanted. I had the fish and chips and much were very fish and chips. I am also a long time vegetarian trying to eat some fish. Failing miserably. The draft beer selections were the same as every other pub in London that I had tried. Found out in my next to last evening in England that Heineken controls the draft scene. I was searching for local, traditional British beer. Only one place in Oxford! I'll keep trying!! Delightful and charming brewpub or pub (again, American). Very homey feel to the restaurant/pub. The service was something. Fine but I enjoyed my experience thoroughly!

After walking for 8.5 miles we ended up back here where we had booked a table for dinner…read more Walking in we were led to a table right in front which was in a middle of a 3 way much to our dismay as people kept constantly walking past us. What I did see of the decor was nice. The majority of the waitresses were young and what I felt inexperienced . Asking us immediately what we wanted to drink without providing a menu and us having to enquire what the soup and pie of the day was. Drinks ordered I browsed the menu. It was just a lot of generic pub grub with not a lot of fish dishes. Saying that I did see some fish and chips get served that looked fab. I did find the menu a bit uninspiring but luckily I clocked the special board and saw the Strawberry Duck with bubble and squeak with garlic mash. Himself had the minted lamb pie and we shared chipolatas with mustard mayo. The starter was nice but forgettable...the mains were the star of the show. My duck was cooked to perfection and everything tasted fresh. The sauce was of perfect consistency and not too sweet. The mash could have done with more garlic but it was a fine dish especially while sipping yummy gooseberry gin. The minted lamb pie was rich and full of flavour with thick chips that were a little undercooked in the middle. To finish we had coffee as we were full. Overall I felt the service let it down a little, Asking if we want sauce when the starter was served with it, not asking how are food was in the beginning , not informing us about the specials etc and in the end we had to order Drinks at the bar as felt a bit neglected. It was nice to have a swift recommendation of what to have with the gin though and the bill was reasonable . Yes I would come back if I went for a walk in the area.

We chose the pub sharing platter to start between 4.5 of us (our 2 year old daughter has a great appetite...) which consisted of some great fresh pork pies, sausages, scratchings, bread etc - and then followed this with some tasty roasts (mixed pork and beef really hit the spot) - with all the trimmings - lovely veg and of course those ace Yorkshires (check out my pics) Dessert was tasty with a great selection - Eton Mess and Choc Brownie were awesome. We weren't drinking for various reasons but they did have a fairly decent selection of traditional ales and wines. The soft drink selection was great too - Fentimans all round for us. A lovely country inn, great food, drinks and surroundings - can't wait to go back!

We were looking for a pub lunch and it seemed perfect to stop off here for a bite to eat. Inside it is your typical chain pub which although not a negative is a shame as you feel like you're just in any other pub. We ordered steak and cheese baguettes which were very tasty and you got plenty of steak. For the price I can't grumble (£13.50 for 2 baguettes and 2 cokes) but I feel that at full menu prices it falls a little short.

We had an array of items from the menu sampling their steak & chips, sausages & mash, steak & kidney pudding and a Ballantyne of chicken. We also had 'chicken nuggets' for our daughter but were encouraged by the footnote in the menu that they are freshly made with 100% chicken breast. The beer was good and I understand the coffee not only was excellent but was also incredibly well priced. The pub (chain of which the Legh Arms on the way to Poynton is in the same chain) is clearly trying to break away from the 'pop-up pub' mould; introducing fresh local produce to it's menu and empowering their staff to be themselves and not carbon copies of their corporate training manual. Free wifi is available using the code from the chalkboard on the bar - always an added bonus! There is also a children's play area but the weather prohibited us from trying it out. We will be back!

The food was reasonably priced we had a veggie and a 6oz steak burger, which came with plenty of chips, for £8 and £8.25 respectively. (In fact I think the veggie burger came with sweet potato chips delicious, though I wouldn't want them all the time.) You didn't need a starter or dessert! They also had an excellent beer on from Marston's, 'Single Hop', made with New Zealand Wai-iti hops, which was simply amazing cistrussy and dry, but not especially bitter. Very, very drinkable. London Pride was the other real ale. The only downer is the staff weren't fantastically attentive, but were friendly when you'd got their attention. But I'd happily go back there again.
