Reviews in Cheshire

It pains me to leave this review. I've been with my partner at couple of times and the food/atmosphere has been exceptional. Fast forward to 27th December with family. I will start by stating that the staff are lovely, helpful and welcoming. The food was a miss this time, undercooked veg/over cooked roasties on the dinners with poor quality turkey. Mash that had the consistency of smash and taste of stale mash, sausages that clearly weren't 'Butchers' sausage. The staff, as stated were helpful and lovely and were attentive to our needs. Approaching the end of our meal and a man came screaming out of the kitchen, swearing and shouting at staff and knocked over a dining chair. The whole restaurant was in shock. The poor waitress was sobbing after being spoken to like a piece of rubbish, the waiter got his bag and left. Turns out, the member of staff that came screaming out of the kitchen was the owner! He left his staff in tears and shock. The manageress was crying too. A despicable display of power and demeaning staff was on display for all to see. Everyone in my party was in disbelief, as were other patrons in the restaurant. The staff were so distraught that I was compelled to ring them later in the evening to check they were OK. We won't be going again anytime soon.

Amazing experience as always. Food absolutely fantastic, staff so friendly, professional and knowledgeable and overall a lovely atmosphere. For that quality, the price is very good.

Great service and lovely food.

The food and service were both excellent! We were a party of 5 and everyone really enjoyed everything they ate. Steaks were cooked exactly as requested. Service at the table was well paced - not too fast, not too slow. The waiter who attended our table was very friendly and polite. All together, a very pleasing experience!

Just returned from a short Christmas break with a party of 4. We had a lovely time - at £490 for 2 people - which included a 2 night stay and all your food - we thought it was good value for money. The staff were wonderful (particularly a young man whose name I didn’t catch unfortunately) but he went over and above to make sure our stay was comfortable. He waited on our table in the restaurant on Christmas Eve - whoever he was - he deserves a special mention. I liked the personal touches on arrival in the room - a card and a Christmassy pack of toiletries and chocolates/snacks. Christmas Day meal was busy and Father Christmas was wandering about which was also a nice touch. We spent the evening in one of the small lounge areas - very cozy and ended making some new friends. Thank you Mere Court - we will definitely return.

Incredible afternoon and evening. The food and service could not be bettered. Nothing was too much trouble. I can’t believe Burak and his team gave up their Christmas to make ours so special. I strongly recommend Elmas for a great meal right in the heart of Lymm.

A cosy relaxed foodie pub with super views across the Cheshire plain. Easy booking, a wonderfully welcoming reception, excellent service and some really nice food. An excellent venue for informal food and drink.

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Food Devine especially the sea bass! Couldn’t fault the evening. Superb wines and mixes. To top it off the coffee with Bailey,s and cream on top. Best I’ve ever had. Excellent service with a smile. All the staff work well. Top of my restaurant list for Chester. Highly recommend. A small candle on the table would of been nice. Slightly dimmed lights also. Unfortunately we could not hear any of the back ground music as the table to the right of us was extremely noisy and loud. All in all a lovely evening. Will return back.

My first visit on Christmas Eve. Was on my own and my two dogs. Very friendly wasvery busy, but the service was brillant. The food was brillant and not waiting long before it arrived. Food was fantastic. Would highly rate it. Loved it.

A lovely Christmas Eve meal with family everything was perfect

Had the most delicious lunch yesterday ... perfect large haddock and scampi and the new chips which were excellent (and red hot!). Great service as always despite being busy. Best place to eat round here by a long way

Excellent. Food good service good . Can not fault it . Thanks very much.

Hadn't been here for a while but will be back again soon. Monday evening so probably quieter than weekend but everything was perfect. Staff were very polite and attentive, food was excellent, wine chilled just right. Father Christmas was there so lots of children early in the evening and staff were quick to stop them running around where others were dining. No great problem to us but could have got in the way if staff bringing hot food. Great decor for Christmas. Highly recommend this place. Veg was a bit simple and would expect lemon wedge with scampi but otherwise perfect.

Enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch. Everything was great, the food, the atmosphere and value for money.

The four of us have been several times to the Mere Court Hotel for Afternoon Tea, and really enjoyed it. However, our trip on 22 December was different. The overall atmosphere was good, service by the waitress was good, however we all felt the standard and taste of the sandwiches were not up to standard. The salmon was strong tasting and smelling and the turkey was very dry and the cranberry sauce tasted very different, not nice different. This was our Christmas treat and there were no crackers at the table - good job I bought our own. The scones and cakes were ok. I think the overall feeling was disappointment.

Great Sunday lunch with vegetarian options at the Alvanley Arms. We love that they do fresh vegetables , quality food and good size portions. The pub is warm and cosy with real fires and nicely decorated for Christmas. Friendly helpful staff too.

Following a brisk walk up to Bosley Cloud we came to the Coach and Horses for lunch. I had already booked through the online booking facility as I couldn't get through on the phone, and the table was reserved and ready for us. Two of us had the home made Chicken and Haggis pie, and the other two had Roast Beef. The food was excellent, as was the friendly service, lovely warm atmosphere in front of the roaring wood burner, and the value for money. Highly recommended.
