Newly refurbished in 2009, the elegant 80-cover Alderley Restaurant at the Alderley Edge Hotel retains its splendid views out over the Edge. The hotel sits on wooded slopes above the village in an Elizabethan-Gothic style home that was built in 1850 for one of Manchester's wealthy industrial grandees. Chris Holland is head chef at the three-AA-rosetted restaurant - which is also the current Cheshire Life Restaurant of the Year -- and has put together a sumptuous fine dining experience that incorporates innovative 'sous vide' specialities that are available on both his a la carte and gourmet tasting menus. An extensive wine list admirably complements the food and the Lounge Bar is the perfect spot for drinks before or after your meal. A selection of lighter dishes is also available here. The main restaurant is open for lunch and dinner every day, except Sunday evening, and there are two private dining rooms available which overlook the flower-filled gardens. The hotel has 50 rooms and suites and is also a popular choice for weddings and conferences. The Laurent-Perrier function suite at the Alderley Edge Hotel has its own bar and exclusive entrance.Awards | 3 AA Rosettes

Set in a baroque mansion house dating back to the seventeenth century, Oddfellows is a beautifully designed 'open house' members' club that opened in Chester in April 2008. Under the one roof you can enjoy cocktails at the lively bar, dine in the stylish contemporary AA-rosetted brasserie, indulge in mouthwatering Modern British cuisine in the elegant restaurant, be tempted by cakes or afternoon tea in the salon, or chill in the enchanting rooftop garden under Bedouin-inspired tents. Later on, you can join the throng at the late bar and dance the night away and up in the eaves are four sumptuous suites which make the perfect crash pad. Oddfellows is open to all but offers a select membership scheme with a range of VIP privileges as well as a full event-management service. Michelin-starred chef Richard Philips has recently come on board at Oddfellows as Consultant Chef and promises to wave the flag for British cuisine, taking the cooking to a new level.Awards | 1 AA Rosette

The Michelin-starred restaurant at Chester's luxurious five-star Grosvenor Hotel & Spa was formerly known as Arkle - after the Duchess of Westminster's famous steeplechaser - but was renamed Simon Radley At The Chester Grosvenor in 2008 in honour of the Executive Chef who has headed up the kitchen team for 20 years and held a Michelin star since 1990. This is fine dining in grand style with a seasonally changing menu inspired by French haute cuisine. Choose from the a la carte or the tasting menu complemented by a thousand-bin wine list which is one of the very best in the country. Simon Radley At The Chester Grosvenor is open for dinner from Tuesday to Saturday; the hotel's other dining options include La Brasserie, for more informal dining, and The Arkle Bar and Lounge for pre-dinner drinks, morning coffee, light lunches and afternoon tea.Awards | 1 Michelin Star | 4 AA Rosettes | Good Food Guide 7

The Church Green in Lymm is now home to one of the UK's hottest culinary talents, Aiden Byrne, who having earned rave reviews during his time in London has returned to his native northwest. At just 22, he was the youngest-ever chef to win a Michelin star and went on to work as Tom Aiken's right hand man and then as head chef at The Grill at the Dorchester. He's also appeared regularly on TV and has published his own cookbook, Made in Great Britain, which showcases his passion for British food and produce. The menu at the Church Green changes daily and is based on fresh local produce, with some of the greens coming from their own herb and vegetable garden. The Church Green is open for lunch and dinner every day with a choice between the bar menu and the a la carte with the wine list stretching to 75 bins. There's room for 60 diners inside and another 60 al fresco when weather permits. Partner Sarah handles front-of-house while Aiden and his young team turn out affordable and unpretentious dishes like his signature Chilled broad bean soup with black olives and Thornby Moor Stumpy goats cheese and Lancashire suckling pig with onion, sage and langoustines. The Church Green has been awarded three AA rosettes and picked up Best Newcomer at the 2009 Northern Hospitality Awards. You can book a table online through the website.
