1652 Bar & Restaurant in Cheshire East

Visited for reserved evening meal. Eventually shown to our table but the premises were extremely cold. We sat down and ordered drinks which started to arrive. On noticing other clients they were seated with their coats on eating. I appreciate the present fuel crisis but I refuse to pay for a meal and sit with my coat on. We left.

Very friendly staff, the Sunday Lunch was very good and hot, no long wait even tho they were very busy! Definitely recommend them !

Visited this bar whilst staying overnight in the hotel. Great choice of real ales and the menu was varied. Had the Cumberland sausage and mash. Food was freshly cooked, piping hot and very good. Reasonably priced.

I had salmon - very nice but small, glad I ordered side of mash and side of veg. Husband had shin of beef with side of fries - very nice. Sitting under a bright light and a bit to close to others to feel romantic. Specifically requested only a couple of cubes of ice but it came crammed full, couldn't be bothered to mention it. Both serving ladies pleasant.

Fabulous eve Nigel, Annalise Grace and all the team were wonderful, superb food wonderful entertainment thank you all so much, you made us all so welcome and most of all in these difficult times we felt safe, our amazing bedroom and breakfast this morning was an added bonus, well done all the team, would highly recommend the white lion 😊😊

My partner and I were doing a long country walk recently and planned a few pub stops along the way. Having not been to The White Lion in years, we stopped for sandwiches and a couple of drinks. We got really friendly services, perfectly cooked steak sandwiches with delicious chips and beautifully kept ale - Mobberley Brewhouse's Onyx Oatmeal Stout was a delight and a highlight. We sat in comfy chairs by the fire and could've stayed all night. We will be back soon for a full sit down meal when we aren't splashed in mud and leaving wellies at the door!

Visited a couple of times since moving here and we have found a little gem Fab ambiance and wonderful menu with lots of interesting choices served beautifully..and just a little twist on the norm.. looking forward to visiting again

My husband and I dined here and couldn’t fault the service or the food! We ordered the ham hock and chicken liver pate to start and the pork belly and duck confit as mains - the entire meal was excellent! Right from presentation to flavour - it was one of the finest meals we’ve had. The service was also top-class. Do not miss this place for a meal, you won’t regret it!

Delicious food, great beer and a beautiful building. Rally enjoy this place. Sat outside on a hot sunny day is nice too. Can't wait..

A must visit you won’t be disappointed. Fantastic menu selection. Stunning decor and all important great food and service.

Called here with mum during day and was that impressed I drove all the way back at night with wife ( 11 miles ) and we’ll worth the journey

Dont choose a ground floor room, otherwise this hotel offers excellent value for money. Food in restaurant is excellent, staff very professional, location is ten minutes from M6 motorway, so why stay on the services hotel.

The food is fantastic. Not fast at all but perfectly done. I had the Monkfish Tails and they were superb.

A group meeting of 15 ladies and no complaints about the food or service! The restaurant was quite busy but we received our starters quickly. A varied main course dish was served to us altogether, no waiting and with ease. Puds and coffee came last and everybody was really happy with the whole evening.

We visited here for tea one Friday. Delicious. Only criticism is that I feel there should have been some peas with the sausage and mash but overall beautiful food and stunning place. Will definitely be visiting again.

On a drive through the Cheshire countryside near to Crewe we came upon the 1652. It looked interesting so we stopped initially for a drink. Then we noticed the small 17 bedroom hotel at the rear. We looked into the restaurant area, which looked newly refurbished and decided to order a light lunch. We asked for a table in the light and in a quiet area. Good to not hear any background music so you could sit and chat.We ordered from the light bite part of the menu - a cottage pie with red cabbage and warm bread and ham, egg and chips. It was piping hot and enough without becoming too full.Car parking is ample and we saw a private bowling green next to the hotel. We have made a note to return possibly to stay at the hotel.

Mi esposa y yo fuimos al restaurante White Lion's para cenar el sábado como habíamos oído cosas buenas sobre este lugar. Nos decepcionó un poco en general, quizá tenían una mala noche.En primer lugar, quiero destacar algunas cosas positivas.El White Lion es un edificio muy atractivo ubicado bien en el centro del pueblo de Weston. Los jardines están bien presentadas y el aparcamiento es grande y aparentemente amplio para incluso una concurrida noche de verano.El interior también era agradable y estaba muy limpia. Las mesas no estaban apiñadas para llegar en lo posible. El lavabo era moderno, bien equipado y muy limpio.La comida era generosos y teniendo en cuenta este bien presentado es un pub restaurante de categoría.Nuestra decepción fue doble: el servicio y la calidad de la comida.Nos fuimos a la recepción para dar a conocer nuestra reserva a la llegada. El caballero (que parecía ser el gerente) hablaba a su camarero y se indica un número de mesa para llevarnos demasiado - pero no hizo ningún reconocimiento a todos. O un simple buenas tardes por favor siga nuestro camarero habría eliminado el tratamiento de ignorantes.Nos sentamos y menús dado. Aunque había copas de vino en la mesa no nos ofrecieron una lista de vinos, tuvimos que pedir este después de nuestra entrada. (La lista de vinos era un endeble, ligeramente manchada de un pedazo de papel 4 - no es una buena impresión para un lugar de categoría).Nos sentimos un poco apresurada sobre pedidos nuestra comida.En realidad nos sirvió varios empleados diferentes durante toda la noche, me sentí un poco al azar. Que no hubiera importado mucho más que un par de los camareros no parecía muy "presente" cuando me preguntaban para pedidos, etc. - otros personal en realidad bastante bueno pero nos topamos con el "más" presentees.La comida era un poco decepcionante.Remolacha, patatas fritas debe ser fresco, no un poco pasada.El "pato" moneybag triturada, utilizada una cantidad excesiva de pastelería relativo a llenar, y sabía como si los hubieran preparado de congelados.El venado dhansak era aguado en sabor, no un buen equilibrio de especias/aderezos. El venado había sido preparado de tal manera que tenía una textura como buena calidad de carne en conserva. La raita era un poco sosa.La tarta de lima fue mediocre, no hay nada que destacar.El Knickerbocker glory fue un destacado, sabores y buena fruta.Relación calidad-precio era pobre. Tres campos para 2 personas, además de una copa de vino, té/costo cada café 80 libras. Incluso si el servicio y la comida había sido mejor este sería caro.No siento que lo probamos, pero es improbable que vuelva pronto. Siento 1652, pero la zona tiene un montón de bares y restaurantes muy buenos y nuestro estándar debe ser mejor que la que hemos experimentado. Un lugar precioso y lo mantiene; centrarse en la atención a los detalles en el servicio y la cocina.

Nos detuvimos al lado de la autopista para comer y quedamos encantados de encontrar este precioso lugar que ofrecía un menú interesante sándwich, así como de las principales comidas.El personal era servicial y acogedor bar y el restaurante agradable.Sándwich de mi esposo veía genial y disfrutó. Por desgracia la mía era pobre: verduras crudas en tostadas suaves asado con hummus. La camarera me preguntó si todo estaba bien y me dijo que no, Mi comida fue muy decepcionante y me describió la tostada pasada y mala combinación de texturasla respuesta me sorprendió, y no de una buena manera. Ella dijo que pide el chef si eso era lo que estaba destinado a ser.Otro miembro del personal vino a la mesa muy rápidamente y me aseguró que el plato era muy popular y que la tostada estaba pasada porque los jugos de las verduras había empapado en ella. No hay disculpa, no ponerlo a la derecha, de hecho me hicieron sentir que yo estaba equivocado para protestar, algo que rara vez hacen. Me dio vergüenza y hambre, así que comimos. Me gustaría haber sido avergonzarse de haber servido una comida tan pobre en casa - no volveremos.

La comida era buena, pero las porciones son muy pequeñas me dio la sensación de hambre. . . Tuve el curry verde tailandés por red a 13 libras. 50 y un pequeño estante de costillas para staters en £6. 50.

Vine aquí en mayo de 2016 con mis colegas de trabajo, tuvimos una cena maravillosa - sin gluten opciones estaban disponibles, siendo celíaca fue genial ver y aunque a su llegada no tenían mi primera opción me ofrecieron una alternativa perfecta que era delicioso y no podría haber pedido un mejor servicio. Precioso interior que creía había sido recientemente renovada en el tiempo. En general, una fantástica experiencia y lo recomendaría.

Cuando pagas los precios ofertados en el White Lion puede esperar algún tipo de calidad de comida y servicio. Siento decir que ambos eran escasas.

Went with my mum and son after work for some tea, having been before and thoroughly enjoyed it we thought we'd go again, unfortunately our second visit wasn't as good.

my daughter paid for me to have tea, for my starter i had asparagus wrapped in parma ham, when it came out it was cold and very hard, then for my main course i had the Guinness and mushroom pie with chips and vegetables, again it was just warm and it was placed on a long and narrow plate which there was know room to cut anything the gravy was like water and the pie was tasteless, as i didn't like to say anything to my daughter as it was her treat, but i most definitely will not be returning.

Cenamos aquí por primera vez en pocos meses en una noche de jueves.

Had a lovely meal, and it's so nice to see smaller versions of some main courses. I certainly wished I'd gone for the smaller pie when mine arrived, it was delicious. Great fish and salad options too.

Bread board, oils and aioli to share for starter, cajun chicken and pepper salad for main followed by a cheese board. Plenty of attention from servers. A bit busy and noisy for a romantic evening but the food can't be faulted. We will definitely visit...

Myself, husband and Mother have all eaten here together a few times now as it is very local to where we live however every time we have eaten here we have all been ill in the night or the next day. The last 3 times we ate here we all had bad stomachs and the very last time my mum had the seafood pie and was ill for two days after. Needless to say we will NOT be returning.

Absolutely fabulous food, freshly prepared from local ingredients with lovely staff! Prices are very reasonable for the quality and we would definately eat here again when staying over!

My partner and I decided to visit here after I'd heard what a lovely job they had done on the refurb ! Firstly decor is almost there, but with dramatic chandeliers you need to make sure all of the bulbs are working and all of the lampshades are straight, cheaply recovered old chairs, and dodgy looking prints on the wall, other than that not too bad, just needs bringing together somehow ......Service was slow to start and remained slow all evening , maybe waitresses could crack the occasional smile and look like they are actually enjoying their job, I had to get up at one point to request a dessert menu as we had been sitting waiting for nearly 30 minutes. Lipstick on my wine glass ..... Never good ! Food however wasn't too bad , good portion size, presented beautifully. I think it just needs a little more, for example , a host as you wak in, someone to rally the troops, give a little direction, and an interior designer ! The potential is there.

I've left my review for the 1652 restaurant at the hotel's tripadvisor page instead of here, my mistake, but it's there if you want to read it - loved the place! :O)

Just returned after a 4 month break. Fantastic food, but disppointed that drinkers took children into the cocktail area, and children were racing around the area, sitting on the stairs preventing waitresses safely delivering food. Staff are absolutely lovely and were obviously reluctant to ask parents to behave like parents. Management should step up and make the dining experience not only fantastic but awesome.Having said that, would return again and again for the food, but please, control the children!!

Have been visiting The White Lion at Weston for many years and re visited last night with friends for a meal in the refurbed restaurant and it was superb. The food choice was excellent - four of us had four different meals and they were all great. Have re booked for a Christmas Meal with a group of neighbours and look forward to another great night of excellent food and drinks.

Popped in here for a late lunch on Saturday - we'd been wanting to have a look since the refurbishment and liked the look of the website, so made a special effort to get there.They've done a great (though eclectic!) job of refurb-ing the bar (which is where we go to eat). Good selection of beers available and a *gorgeous* winter cider, drunk warm! Oldie Worldie feel (wood beams and slate floor) to much of the inside, with an intriguing contrast to the sparkling granite bar! Toilets vastly improved (also modern). Felt welcoming for all of us - not a place where you feel awkward taking the kids.Food: the kids had their favourite - ham sandwiches! No problem swapping the proposed chips for crisps. As it was only lunch, we had one of the "light" options of steak and Guinness pie. Really lovely food, pie just the right size for lunch, fantastic chips and nicely cooked veg. Great place for a great lunch! Four drinks plus meals came to £30 ish which was spot on for us. We'll certainly be going back!

7 of us attended and unfortunatly had cancelled another pub nearby to come here. Two of us had steak the ribeye was dry inside and the sirloin was sent back as full of fat. The new sirloin was OK but i felt the meat was poor quality. The linguini was full of grit as the veg had not been washed correctly and the meat pie was full of mushrooms with 3 pieces of meat and a fatty piece.The gammon was OK as was the musscles and fish and chips.Will not be going back.
