Well, you can't get more authentic than a thatched roof and a bunch of friendly locals now can you? Sigh, even at the tender age of 26 I'm thinking this is the sort of place I could happily retire. In wintertime I imagine this pub would feel especially cosy, with a roaring fire and snug little corners. The drink prices are pretty normal really, rather reasonable and food-wise it actually has an award-winning chef at the helm. The restaurant is kind of separate but it's still perfectly acceptable to grab a few beverages and take them through with you. There's plenty of choice and everyone is well catered for, including vegetarians, plus the desserts are really something else and everything is truly homemade. Lunchtime special offers also come much appreciated.

I followed it up with Spitting Feathers Thirst Quencher, which did what it promised but no more. Spitting Feathers are the brewery that owns the pub.

Love me an English pub, and this is certainly a typical one. It's near Liverpool city centre, so…read morewalkable to just about everything including the docks. Given it's solid location, it was surprised that it was super busy both times we popped in. It's cozy inside with plenty of seating. As with many places in the UK, it's an order-at-the-bar type of thing. Meaning, no one is coming to a table to serve you. We grabbed a few pints and decided to head out back. There you'll find this huge courtyard like space with a giant tent above it. So it's technically outside and open-aired, but completely covered. Sprawling tables and benches are about that everyone shares. A great communal atmosphere! On our second visit here during our time in Liverpool, we grabbed a bite to eat. They have a good size food menu including shareables/bar snacks, classics, burgers, and sandwiches. Sadly they were out of the salt & pepper chicken we hoped to order, so instead we went with fish and chips. A GREAT second pick because it was truly your classic English dish - the fish was battered but not overly like they tend to do in the US. Love the chunky chips (fries) too. Decent prices, great atmosphere, perfect location. Stop in!

I loved this place! My friends and I were visiting and I think I found cottage loaf on trip…read moreadvisor, which is more popular than yelp in the UK apparently. Anyways, it was a short walk from our B & B on a little side street, and it's pretty dang cute. Since we're from the US, all of the cottage and pub type architecture is very quaint and a novelty, so I liked it. Apparently it can get pretty busy, but you can always make a reservation. We took a seat at a long wooden table inside, decided what we wanted from the menu, and then went down to the bar to order our dinner and drinks. They do bring the food to you, but you order at the bar. I went with the mushroom ravioli and there were soooo many raviolis! Very tasty, and I love mushrooms, so it worked out well haha. Just a lot of food. If I lived here or visited again, I'd make my way back here again. It's pretty casual but the food was good, they had a decent selection of alcohol, and like I said, it's a cute building.

The Cottage Loaf is a great little pub just 5 minutes walk from the seafront…read more With a decent outside seating area (front and back beer gardens) and plenty of room inside, this is the perfect place to stop in for drinks or to dine. We booked with it being Saturday night and along with a couple of pints from their range of 5 guest cask ales, chose the lasagne and pork loin for dinner. The food menu is traditional British pub food, but we had heard from friends who'd visited previously that all the food is made from the freshest ingredients and of great quality so it was quite hard making our decision as everything sounded so tasty. We made a great choice as both our meals were excellent and just about squeezed in a piece of sticky toffee pudding in (I could have squeezed 2 pieces in it was that good...) but just be aware that the kitchen stops serving food at 9pm so make sure you leave yourself time to order it from the bar if you have a sweet tooth! Highly recommended; It's the first place I'll go back to next time I'm in Llandudno.

Lovely views of Chester racecourse and offer vouchers given on paying for future use (sadly we'll not be back in time...) but great marketing. The clean toilets were a credit to the cleaner/s and I complimented the Manager. coming from a hospitality background, I know many places fall down on scuzzy toilets that either smell of wee or too much bleach or a combination of them both! The Architects deserve serious paise. Clean toilets mean a clean kitchen. This place certainly exceeded my high expectations which is rare these days. We'll certainly be back next year!

Not so far from Liverpool near Chester sits this award winning Gastro-pub waiting to be discovered…read moreby foodies from around the region. This is the type of place you luckily stumble across on your day trips to Chester or on the way back from trip to Wales, a sanctuary if you will. Why not be one step ahead of the game, add it to your sat nav and have it in the back of your mind when you are driving on a sunday past Chester? The food is heavenly, there is a pleasant outside area to enjoy your ice cold beverage with some homely food on a bright sunny July afternoon. A family friendly venue there is plenty on offer for the kids with a kids menu. Sundays is naturally teaming with families in the afternoon, so bring your ear plugs because it might get bit rowdy. Now everyone knows I am an absolute suckerooo for Mediterranean food, and guess what there is a bit of Mediterranean influence on the food here as well. It's as if all these amazing places and their proud owners can read my mind. Or perhaps the holiday trends over the last decade are reflecting on our choice of cuisine in the UK. Who knows, who cares the food is to die for.... ok perhaps slight exageration (I wouldn't die for some food.....unless I was starving....anyway read on outside bracket please...)ITS GOOD, the food..!! I would recommend the Lamb Kofta Kebab with Rice, Salad & Mint Yogurt Dip. With the meaty goodness and substantial portion for under a tenner how can you complain? Even if you're not that hungry you can be merry with a platter to share. Again rolling with the Mediterranean wind I would recommend the Mezze platter which comes with Kofta Kebab, Grilled Chicken Pitta with Turkish tomato Sauce, hummus & Yoghurt Dip, absolutely flavourtastic at under £15. I cannot recommend this Ring o Bells enough.... BiIl Murray if you're reading this and are ever in these neck of woods, you best give this place........... a ring a ding ding!!!

Our server was outstanding, fun, smart and knew what she was doing. I would go back next time I'm in Chester area
