The best restaurants serving British food in Cheshire East North West

Food is always top quality and tasty and plenty of gluten free options. Sharon the manager is always around and they have a lovely team 😀

Visited with my grandparents and strait away I realised that there was a massive menu and also a baby and older children park outside. (Kid friendly)

We have just spent the afternoon at the wacky warehouse handforth . It is a fabulous space my 2 year old absolutely loves it there. Mel and Kelly are just wonderful staff and can't do enough for you . It's lovely to have staff who engage with the children and to be greeted with happy faces. 😊 Thank you ladies.

Website says they serve food until 8pm on a Monday night. We arrived at 7.40pm but were told the kitchen was shut - not impressed 😔

Went for Sunday lunch today. Haven't been since it was refurbished, it looks lovely, they've done a great job. Lovely staff, mainly young lads all polite and helpful. 4 of us ordered roast beef dinner. The beef was as tough as old boots! The veg was not bad, roast potatoes were ok. Nothing special. Yorkshire pudding was great. Nobody asked how the meal was or we'd have told them. We could have done with steak knives to cut the beef and we certainly needed good teeth to chew it! The young man that cleared the table did ask how it was and he did say we weren't the only ones to complain the beef was tough! It wasn't just us then! The bill was over £100 including a drink each. Not impressed at all. I don't think we'll be going back

An absolutely appalling Sunday lunch. Staff in hotel reception were too busy chatting to direct us to the restaurant. On entering the restaurant there was no one to book us in, A staff member at the bar continued a casual conversation without acknowledging us. 5 minutes later took us to a table. The vegetarian item was different to the advertised item with our Wowcher deal menu. We ordered and after waiting some time but the starters didn't arrive, instead our main course arrived, we had not had our starter! An afternoon tea also arrived, but was not our order! The main course went back to the kitchen and given the assurance that we would have a completely fresh meal cooked. The server gave the excuse that the 'chef' had his mind on the wedding reception they were also catering for. Our starters were eaten and upon taking away the dirty plates we were asked if we would like to see the dessert menu! (We had not had our main courses). Our main courses arrived but bypassed us to head to a different table, eventually arriving at our table. It was as predicted, very much on the cool side. The image we had seen on Hollin Hall's website was nothing like the meal we were served. The Yorkshire Pudding was small, completely unrisen and undercooked. No stuffing was served with the chicken. The vegetables chopped into small rubbery chunks of carrots, parsnips and onion were rubbery and overcooked. All the food was lukewarm. No checkback was made during the meal. As the plates were cleared we were asked if the meal was OK, but had to be honest and report it was the worst Sunday lunch we had ever eaten. The server apologised saying they were short staffed as they had a wedding on! As we got up to leave no one came to offer the bill or take our voucher, so we had to leave it on their reception desk. No one bid us goodbye or thanked us for our custom. We felt very undervalued. I suggest on such occasions they should not even attempt to serve what they advertise as a Sunday Lunch when they are catering for weddings. Without a doubt we will NOT be returning for any reason. Avoid at all costs.

No customer service. On entering, we were welcomed with the wonderful words "How many for' Sat at a table menu states in a rude manner "No substitutes given on menu" Ordered and waited The vegetarian breakfast was not worth the money. To add insult to injury, a member of staff opened the patio doors near to where we were seated. This then made our food cold. No apology was given. On leaving staff just looked us up and down. However if you are a regular the staff are all over you. This used to be a nice place to go, which I had used for years. Will be giving wide bearth for a long while.

We visited as a party of 8 on the Christmas concert evening at the Church.We had pre booked our food choices from a limited menu selection but we all were very happily catered for.On arrival we received first class,attentive service,enjoyed delicious food and the atmosphere was perfect … a great way to start a special evening

Las habitaciones son bonitas y el servicio de limpieza las mantiene encantadoras y limpias, más allá de la entrada principal el hotel está un poco deteriorado en algunos lugares. Las instalaciones de ocio son una buena ventaja. El restaurante tiene un buen personal, pero los precios de las bebidas son ridículamente caros, un gran Malbec es £ 15 aquí, pero se puede comprar el mismo por £ 9 en el pub a media milla de distancia. La comida es bastante agradable pero caro.

Average food more like a pub, raw onion in the scotch egg bhaji, bang bang cauliflower poor, fish and chips were tiny and fish dry. So over priced for below average food.

I have visited The Gardeners Cottage a few times now and can’t praise it enough. They go above and beyond to cater for your needs. I have had dietary issues and have now enjoyed both a gluten free and a diary free afternoon tea here without feeling I was missing out as the alternatives were delicious. I love that the Christmas afternoon tea is themed. The staff are so friendly and the manager is exceptional. She personally came to check everything was ok. I would highly recommend a visit.

Excellent meal and staff are amazing too My go to place everytime and any day

Dropped in without a booking & sat in the little alcove seats. Food was excellent as usual & there was plenty of it. Friendly, attentive staff.

We were travelling from Liverpool to Banbury in Oxford to visit family when we saw the sign Cafe . We turned round at the next roundabout and parked up and went into the cafe . We ordered scrambled egg on toast and coffee so while we were waiting we went outside to the lock and witnessed 3 barges using the lock it was very impressive and challenging. The food from the cafe was also good and the young girls serving were very good and pricing was good too.

Great service from the team and a really lovely view out of the castle window whilst having breakfast. However, the food was awful. We had a full English breakfast and everything was just bland, the bacon was overcooked and the sausage was pitiful, the bread was also incredibly thin. It tasted as it if were made using super cheap products as opposed to the locally sourced farm referenced. We’re incredibly surprised and equally disappointed. In addition, as I hardly ate my breakfast I went to check out the pastries which were overcooked …… or burnt.
