That said it was my mother in laws birthday and I knew they were eating there in the evening with friends. I called up the pub to see if I could order a surprise birthday cake and pay over the phone. Although they said that they did not make birthday cakes they were happy to go to the local bakery and get me one I called up on the night not really expecting that they had as I had not been asked to pay anything. To my delight they had got the cake and I ordered a bottle of reasonably priced champagne at the same time. They couldn't have been more helpful even to the point of calling me back to say that my mother in law had almost been in tears when they gave her the champagne and told them my message. When the time for the cake came, they had added candles and the whole restaurant sang happy birthday. All in all they were great and made my mother in laws birthday really special!

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 :-)

The pie was watery and tasteless and the soup was watery and tasteless. It felt as if they had bought it in and added water to make it last and after one spoonful I decided to not eat any more. I was originally going to try desert but nobody came to ask us if we wanted anything and so I decided not to. When I went to pay, I told them about the problems and the member of staff behind the counter said she would pass on my concerns to the chef. She was helpful. The rest of the staff seemed to have their heart not in the job, and to the member of staff who gave me the bill, you are the only reason why I rated this 2 stars instead of 1.

With most of the local high school students preferring to drink elsewhere the Bull's Head tends to attract an older clientele. This allows the place to revel in its traditional values of comfort and quality. The real fireplace and polished brass fittings give it that classic country pub feel, which is amplified by the decent selection of real ales and welcoming staff. However, if a quiet drink is what you're after you might be disappointed. Due to its small size it gets full quickly and thus can become quite noisy but this never affects the generally social atmosphere. This is simply a traditional village pub where old English standards are upheld.

Its traditional décor and friendly staff make it a warm place to dwell and the reasonable prices combined with a larger-than-average selection of Ales will keep most drinkers happy. It's a cosy place that's always packed on weekends so perhaps go elsewhere for more spacious drinking. However, due to its size the atmosphere is always buzzing and as a result it'd definitely be on my pub-crawl list.

After a spot of blackberry picking we chanced here which like the reviews said be prepared to smell a lot of fish. We were seated outside where immediately we were asked what we want to drink .I personally don't like this approach I like to browse the menu or at settle somewhat first. They didn't have a drink menu apparently so I just ordered a cider and my partner a flat white.. the coffee was really well made with a homemade biscuit on the side. The dominating dishes were fish orientated with a couple of dishes to share like a 50oz tomahawk steak for £65 or a huge lamb pie. We chose olives with large garlic crouton things for starters and for mains he had salmon with a mac n cheese with white truffles..myself a cod with berlotti beans and chicken wings Everything was cooked to perfection and presented beautifully! Half way munching through I heard a server offer a cocktail menu to someone so I pounced on that and ordered a Long island which was well-made. To finish we shared a peach and white chocolate cheesecake which once again was presented beautifully and tasted perfect. I would definitely return here, food is a little pricy but don't mind paying those sort of prices if the foods good..my only criticism is the slow inconsistent service.

As with many pubs in Lymm, the Church green has gone through a number of owners in the last few…read moreyears. I'd hasten to say that despite its turbulent history it's now become one of the better places to go for a relaxed pint or family meal. Its main draw has to be the restaurant, which serves fantastic food albeit to a mixed reception. I've heard some not so positive opinions but after my visit I was left feeling very satisfied. With TV chef Aiden Byrne at the helm the Church Green's kitchen has a lot to live up to and as a result I think this place suffers from its own hype. If you go there without expectations of Michelin quality food I'm sure you'll be contented. However, don't expect satisfaction to come cheaply. With mains ranging from a cool £22 to a mere £28 you'll have to do some pre-meal saving. On the pub side things are more reasonable, as drinks are fairly priced and its large outdoor area provides refuge for the smokers and summer time sun-lovers. Since it's conversion to gastro-pub however, it's somewhat lacking in general table space and is so for those wishing to sit and sip, it's probably better on weekends when the restaurant area is opened to the regular Joe. For me the only thing lacking is a decent selection of ales but that's just my taste. Never have the staff been uninviting or incapable and never have I felt like leaving early. So for a good social drink there aren't many places better. Definitely worth a try!

Having gone through a string of owners, landlords and ladies in the last few years, The Crown has…read moreseen some major changes. Where once was a slightly tatty, run of the mill pub now stands a clean, well-managed establishment with many attractions. The biggest of these has to be the kitchen, which pumps out some rather nice pub grub. Whilst nothing special, the food is reasonably priced and more than satisfactory. For an affordable family meal, head down on Sundays from 12-6 for the Crown's weekly Carvery. As the local high school provides most of the employees, the staff are young but well-mannered and capable. The average price of a pint is about £3 and they serve a couple of ales, albeit IPA, Old Speckled Hen etc. Other attractions include an all you can eat curry and quiz night every Thursday from 6-9 and a two for a tenner fish 'n' chips meal deal available most days. Also, if you buy two glasses of Jacob's Creek you'll get the rest of the bottle free. Despite its slight chain-pub feel, The Crown offers a warm atmosphere whether you're drinking or eating. So if you're looking for a middle-of-the-road pub with good food and a touch of class then the Crown is for you.
