I was looking on the internet for a pub for lunch after a dog walk with friends round Delamere Forest and came across The Carriers Inn. We certainly struck lucky and hit on the right place! We booked for an early lunch on Thursday, as we were five people with five dogs, one a puppy, and we didn't want to potentially disturb others so chose a weekday when a pub was less likely to be very busy. We arrived early and were allowed straight to the table that was in the corner, with plenty of room to tuck the dogs in (they all behaved beautifully, by the way, once their initial excitement of being allowed into a pub subsided). There were quite a few people in, even at that time, but still other tables available and the atmosphere was welcoming and convivial. We were served drinks promptly at the table and food followed without delays. We ordered baguettes, a main meal and two changed their minds to steak pie once they heard that it was the special (and weren't disappointed - although some of the others were envious, especially of the gravy). The food was tasty and hot - and lovely chips! The staff were friendly and helpful. The only potential fly in the ointment was another customer who arrived as we were about leave and found fault with everything (from the music to having dogs in the room). She made her feelings abundantly clear but even this didn't spoil the atmosphere and we noticed that the staff accommodated her and her group without upsetting others. Hopefully she relaxed and had as nice a meal and experience as we did. My friends and I will definitely be back again, it was a lovely way to end a dog walk round the lake at Delamere, and I have other friends, that I've mentioned it to who will now be including a visit to The Carriers Inn when visiting Delamere Forest.
