We were having hard time picking items from the menu because everything sounded so delicious. The appetizers were delicious: scalloped Rissotto, bang bang cauliflower, haloumi & Arancini croquettes. The drinks were fantastic (from the special drinks menu). Unfortunately, some of the mains were an issue. The duck breast was overcooked (which was disappointing), all 3 of our kids burgers were burnt/overcooked (none of them ate them and our kids will eat anything), then, we had the pork belly which was EXCELLENT! So flavorful (I would order this again), and last, the Nicoise salad which was ok. I'm glad to say that when I pointed out the overcooked burgers to our waitress she had them removed from our check. She was very nice by the way.

Thank you. We brought my aunt for lunch, there were three of…read moreus plus an ancient lurcher. My aunt is recently out of hospital, has lost one arm and had surgery on her remaining hand. 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.

My review is based upon pub attached to the hotel. Stopped by here once with colleagues and once…read moresolo. Really good beer selection on cask and draft which is quite affordable. Think I spent just over 16 quid for maybe 5 or 6 pints. Further, they have a pool table in the side room where the locals teach you about 'free play'. Nifty idea sticking those beer coasters into the pockets so you dont need to pay for each game. Its funny because I think the place would have been dead if one had to pay for each game of pool. In either case, I had a really good time here on both occasions and would suggest it to anyone.

We stopped in Knutsford on our way to Kendal and came across Gusto, a lovely Italian restaurant…read morewith an almost fancy vibe, but still casual enough that we felt comfortable just walking in for lunch. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, carbonara, rigatoni arrabbiata, and garlic roasted king prawns. Everything tasted great, although the pizza could've been better... it had a bit of a "frozen pizza" look, but the flavor was decent. My only real gripe is with the dessert communication. At first, we were told only the tiramisu was unavailable. After ordering the Biscoff cheesecake and vanilla gelato, our server came back to let us know there was no cheesecake. It's a small thing, but letting diners know the dessert availability before ordering would've been appreciated. Also... the dry martini didn't taste much like a martini. Not sure what went into it, but it had a strong violet scent and reminded me of nail polish remover - sorry! Overall though, it was a pleasant lunch spot and we enjoyed the meal.

What a delightful and unexpected find - a gorgeous "gastropub" out in the country quite a way from…read morethe big city of Manchester but near a beautiful little village of Knutsford and several clearly upscale (large, wonderful looking homes) suburbs. The pub itself is cosy and welcoming, full of character and very friendly, warm staff. Many little nooks where you can enjoy your meal and conversation with low level music in the background. It was a cold day so we were glad tat there were (many gas) open hearths around. It is located right next door to a ancient but very well tended church (St. Ostwald's). We decided to go with lunches from the Christmas offerings. We both enjoyed our (different) 3 courses (see the pics!). I have recalibrated my standards and so if I can only give Raphael in Bath 5 stars then it is going to be VERY tough for me to give 5 stars to anywhere else! We enjoyed the whole experience at the Bells of Peover so much that I give the cuisine a solid 4 stars but boost the overall score to 5 stars based on the experience, the charm and the ambiences.

The interior is comfortably furnished with a mixture of chairs and sofas to give a relaxed atmosphere. If you were looking for a traditional country pub though it's probably more on the stylish gastro end of the spectrum. That said, the food we had from starters to desserts was superb. Our group, which included a baby and a toddler, were well taken care of and we had a large table tucked away from the main dining area where we could spread out a bit. You can't travel light with young 'uns! Sunday roasts and British dishes head the menu, though the selection for all courses was pretty extensive - I opted for their oak-smoked chicken liver pâté followed by the Sunday roast platter (roast beef, roast turkey and loin of pork) and then sticky toffee and apple pudding (because dessert). Their bar stock includes cask-conditioned beers, real ales and bottles which was good to see. As a designated driver though, I was on the blackcurrant and lemonade! Service was attentive throughout and we were never made to feel rushed at any point. A super venue for a lazy Sunday lunch - will definitely return.
