This is a great place to eat. Just 1 mile from junction 18 on the M6 with a very nice menu, at a…read morevery reasonable price. I recommend the chefs signature dish of Venison steak with a small individual venison pie on the side.

We were staying in Cranage and wanted somewhere to try. We found this pub in Holmes Chapel and were…read morestruck by how friendly it looked. The prices were fair, the service was friendly and efficient. It was a lovely experience and the food was filling and great quality.

Mixed feelings on this place. Positives are the decent rotation of guest beers, pretty cool…read moreambiance in the main bar, nice vibe overall. Not so positive is the general customer service, most staff are nice and all but there does not seem to be a clear push to delight their customers. I tried to order food right on the cutoff, a great place would say ok but not here. Some of the staff are just plain introverts and the toilets are pretty stinky. Overall I do enjoy this place but only because there is nothing better closer.

Came in here half way through a winter walk, cosy enough, with friendly staff and interesting…read morewallpaper. We were only here for drinks, and they had an adequate choice at the bar. Was quite dark in some corners though- in an atmosphere kind of way rather than a dingy one, but still.

The pub is lovely, it's location is similarly as lovely. The drinks are good and are also quite…read morereasonably for the area. These are the areas where the pub actually deserves 5*s. However, the food is chronically over priced and is to be frank terrible. It nearly double the price of a chain pub, which you think probably means the food is going to be great. However, it is terrible, we've been here a few times for food and had differing meals. The vegetarian lasagne was not edible due to the vegetables being so over cooked they where mush and had no flavour left. The supposed chicken burger that was supposedly grilled was blind fact Turkey (distinct taste difference between the two) and was swimming in grease and therefore not edible, the beef burger was the same, the list goes on. The fish and chips was apparently divine and very tasty, also I can vouch for the garlic bread with cheese, it is also very tasty. However, the rest of the food we have had from there has been to be frank horrendous and a massive waste of money. If you are looking for a nice pub in a great location then this is definitely the place, however, if you're looking for somewhere to eat, save your money. There are better places to eat in Middlewich.

Great times in the turnpike. They will give you the function room for free and also provided the…read moreDJ. Had a great 60th and 30th and the buffet was really reasonable. Thank you.
