It feels like such a long time since we've gone out and had a meal that was value for money and…read moretasty. 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!
