My first turkey dinner of the season. Scrumptious!

Visit regularly. Lovely food, great atmosphere. Sometimes service slightly on the slow side but overall a great place for a family meal.

Service was very good the food was very good , and the atmosphere in the place was very pleasant

I meet here with a group of friends from across the north West every month or so. Lovely food, great service .

Absolutely fantastic food! Our first time visiting and we LOVED it. Service was fast and the food was delicious, our only gripe is that the drinks were quite expensive

Fabulous OWNER, STAFF, FOOD, ATMOSPHERE

This was my first visit ….. but certainly won’t be my last! A lovely place, very welcoming with staff who were smartly dressed, friendly and very helpful. The food was very good and sensibly priced. I have no hesitation in recommending the Whitchaff Inn to all my friends and acquaintances.

Wonderful meal , delicious home made pie ! Very attentive service , but not too much . Amazing desserts . Highly recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyable lunch. The service was friendly and efficient. The food arrived promptly and was hot and fresh. We both had Roast turkey which was generous and very tasty. We were seated at a warm comfortable table and the room was calm and spacious with a nice atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Excellent in every respect! Comfortable and quiet, extensive menu, great service and top class food in presentation and taste.

Great tasty meal, fantastic service and lovely atmosphere. We meet here as a family every December for our annual family catch up and there is never a single thing we can fault. The food is delicious (possibly the best chicken burger I’ve ever had, fully recommend the panko garlic and paprika chicken burger!) staff are always helpful, friendly and efficient. And the atmosphere is lovely and warm. See you next December!

Really enjoyed our lunch at The Whitchaff. Delicious food as usual although coffee was a little disappointing.. Would highly recommend for food quality and ambiance.

We had a fabulous family meal for Sunday lunch at the Whitchaff! Considering there were 15 of us, the food came out all together and it was delicious! All of the staff we dealt with, both during the booking process and on the day, were so friendly and helpful. It was an absolute pleasure - thank you!

A Saturday afternoon visit instead of our usual Sunday outing but the food standard, quality and quantity was the same. Most tables were occupied ,some large family, so service was slower as expected but nothing excessive or worrying. When delivered the food was all very appealing and really tasty, with great portion sizes perfect for a wet afternoon, but just about left room for the small pudding & coffee offer. Competitive prices and the food standards make this always a favourite for a repeat visit.

Fantastic from start to finish. Service was just perfect, just enough interaction and chat, without it feeling too much. Food was absolutely fantastic, the special of scallops was to die for! The chocolate orange dessert cocktail was so tasty. Will definitely be back!

Our meal on Saturday evening was absolutely delicious,great company and staff . Will definitely visit again

We have visited a few times and always been impressed but when we visited 6/12, the food and service was really poor and nothing like what our previous visits had been like. We had to ask for cutlery after the dishes were served. My daughter’s fiancé had a dish that looked and tasted very bland. For the amount of money being charged, it was very poor. Not sure if it’s changed hands recently or not? There appeared to be plenty of young staff around but appeared to not know what they were doing. Don’t think we will return again, there’s so many other excellent eating places around.

Turkey dinner was superb, but does need a yorkshire pudding . (I'm from the north east) we have pud with dinners. Your staff are a treasure so kind and welcoming. Pay them more. We always enjoy lunch with you ,many thanks!!
