It is a rather quiet English pub out in the country, with the rather charming interior that you would expect from a lot of these pubs. However, it also has a huge beer garden, which is delightful in summer, though I do have to admit that I've really only been in England during the summer so I haven't exactly experienced the worst that weather has to offer. Still, yeah, it's a rather nice pub.

I was at the Hatton Arms last night for my cousin's 18th birthday with all the family. What a…read morelovely pub! It's set just outside the charming village of Stockton Heath and has that country pub feel without having to venture too far from civilisation. The bar stocks some good ales but I opted for Old Mout Cider, a fruity little number that was perhaps a bit too easy to drink, hence a sore head this morning. There's a lovely beer garden out the back with picnic tables, parasols and plenty of grass space for kids to run around. Staff are friendly and the locals seem like decent folk ( I certainly didn't spot any track suits, which is always a good sign). Food wise, we were treated to a delicious buffet of Thai fish cakes, chicken wings, salad and pulled pork, which was delicious. So judging by this, I would imagine their everyday food menu is pretty good too.

Fortunately, on a Monday night, there is a folk singers meeting, when anyone who can sing or play nything at all will be invited to contribute to the entertainment. This can be heartily recommended to anyone with the slghtest interest in music. The ales are another matter! In one side there are three guest ales, usually including Caledonian Deuchars IPA - I have spen months trying to work out what they do to this as I can't get it to taste as good! The other two guests are usually almost as palatable and always interesting. After a number of visits, I noticed so singers drinking different beers - this was when I found out that the guests on the other bar are often different! Sometimes a choice of six! Needless to say, this is a must-visit whenever we get the time to drive there (or get someone to drive us there, even better). I've never been during the day time, so don't know if they do food, but remember passing a kitchen when coming in from the small car park at the rear. The onlt reason for not giving five stars is that it's a bdy awkward pub to get to!

The best pub in Runcorn. It just is…read more I'm an ale drinker, so the quality of beer is my main criteria in pub choice, and the ales at The Prospect are spot on. Normally a choice of 5 or 6 ales (personally I'm rather partial to the Adnams Broadside which seems to be fairly regular). As said before, the choice of ales differs depending on which side of the bar you sit on, so make sure you check what's on the other side. Friendly staff. Really nice old-style pub, with an open fire in the winter. Food is simple, but done well and reasonably priced. Ranges from toasted sandwiches and pie and chips (Cowards pies for those in the area), to currys and more exotic stuff on the specials boards. Food service tends to stop a bit earlier than you'd expect (generally stopped by 1.30 pm at lunch, and 7.30 pm at dinner), so well worth ringing ahead if you intend to eat there.

Last night, we stopped there for a few drinks (only a half for me as the driver!) and were absolutely stunned. The selection of real ales is impressive and very well-kept and served. The landlord is extremely welcoming, pleasant and knowledgeable, but the pub itself.. Well, to say it is amazing is to do the landlord an injustice. As can be seen by the photos, the pub has an incredible amount of memorabilia; seemingly, most from the war years (no, I won't specify which wars!) but also an eclectic collection of anything that interests anybody. There are musical instruments throughout the rooms, a plethora of cameras of all eras, uniforms from forces, services and old schoolsI could go on all day. We all decided that it would take a full day just to sample the excellent drinks and to look around, then were told that they serve good food during the day as well. If this pub was closer to civilisation, it would be crowded out at all times.

Frodsham being a lager drinking town there is a good selection to suit all lager drinkers. A small wine and whisky selections. Not bad but well above average. Prices are average for a bar of this type and in this sort of location. They have a restaurant upstairs which i have never visited. Staff generally are nice although not particularly knowledgeable about all the beers they put on, This if forgiveable as the service is mostly great. The general seating in the bar could be more comfortable but is adequate. One of the better pubs in Frodsham and definatly worth a visit if your in town.
