Culcheth Arms in Warrington

Very pleasant friendly staff, good food reasonable prices

Had a great buffet on our networking meeting, 25 guests and the food was tasty, especially the cauliflower wings. Thankyou for being always accommodating.

Hard to judge atmosphere as went for lunch on Monday...so quite quiet, service fine, had the burger with fries very enjoyable and tasty

Looked like a lovely place as we attended a birthday party. Food was pre-ordered 7 days in advance and it seemed like most of the food was prepared 7 days in advance🤢 To be fair the starter chicken and ham hock was ok. The main dinner was a different story, ordered half roast chicken, Yorkshire pudding was very well done and the roast potatoes was very very tough, I could not cut the potato 🤷🏻‍♂️ it was that tough. The dessert I ordered was the panna cotta and it’s the first one I’ve had that I’ve had to lift off the dried top to get to the middle and the tinned peach slice topping was sour. Definitely well out of date dessert, food like this should never have been served. Hope this helps others and maybe the restaurant itself to check the product coming out. Didn’t complain because we were never asked if the food was any good. Shame 😳 Thank you for the response, as a multiple restaurant owner and a trained chef, I understand problems faced within the kitchen to have a complete control is not possible. The review is to highlight a problem you have with whom ever serves the vegetables and the desserts. Best of luck

Visited on Saturday dinner time..Car park quiet. A few people outside in the beer garden drinking. Not many people inside despite being a large venue. Met at the bar by barman who when I asked him for a table and a menu immediately informed me of a 40 minute wait for food. Why..? Apparently 2 large tables had come in together ie 12 people max. It was obvious they didn't want the hassle of any more patrons. I asked if there were any other restaurants nearby and he obliged me immediately of their names..This guy just didn't want the custom..I call it lazy and uninterested. Its what gives managed chain pubs a bad name..I have been before and the food and service was really good. But I won't waste my time again.

Great place lovely helpful staff,will definitely be back

Great food, friendly service and atmosphere. Looking forward to returning.

Lovely bar and really nice staff - I would highly recommend for a quick drink or two :)

Went for the well advertised Doggy Menu and dog friendly place but sadly was disappointed. The hot doggy dinner on the dog menu is only on Sundays but I can’t find where it says that anywhere. The dog bowls for water on a table weren’t very clean. Good selection of dog treats though and all natural which was really good. The dog sausages were good quality but cold and brought out well after our food to the point we thought they’d forgotten about them. We waited around 40 mins between starter and main course. Food was nice. Staff weren’t rude but also not friendly. Visit was ok but wouldn’t go out of the way again to go.

This was our favourite place for a Sunday roast but not anymore. We visited with family and it has completely changed. The service was extremely slow and staff were just standing around. The food was just average, not much flavour and lack of veg for a roast dinner. The price has increased considerably since we lasted visited, not worth the new price at all. We will not be returning anytime soon.

Nice local pub in Cultheth with some where to sit outside, the food was amazing and the staff were excellent. Will definitely be back

Lovely place, lovely menu, not too in your face. VERY fresh, hot food. Amazing service from Izzy the waitress

Been twice with my sister in law lunchtime. Not been alot of people eating but service and food is good and staff friendly

We went in as a group that aren't local to the area. The atmosphere was friendly, the bar manager/staff were attentive. We all ordered different meals and we're extremely impressed, the food was delicious. We were very impressed with the service and quality of food. We would all definitely return, we had a wonderful experience

Good selection of beers at reasonable prices. Mixed age clientele giving a pleasant atmosphere.

Recommended by a friend for the roast dinner , was not disappointed ,new Sunday menu with lots of choice , I had the ham hock terrine , followed by the roast beef finished off with the baileys cheesecake , absolutely stunning ,so tasty , photos added , tasted as good as they look !!!!

We popped in for lunch yesterday after seeing they had a new chef and we wanted to try their new roast's. We have the beef and it's by far the best we've had yet. The carrot & suede mash was incredibly tasty too. We followed our mains with a creme brûlée and then finished off with two americanos. The perfect dining experience.

We frequently visit The Culcheth Arms, and the food has always been really good…especially the Culcheth/Southern fried chicken, which I had last night. We went today, as a new Sunday menu was being launched by a relatively new set of chefs and kitchen staff. We weren’t disappointed by the new menu. We had roast striploin of beef, confit pork belly, accompanied by spring veg, Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese, rosemary and garlic goose fat roasted potatoes, carrot and swede mash with ample gravy. The meal was finished off with a dark chocolate delice, cookie, affogato and a fantastic crème brûlée. Thankyou to Charlotte, Jenny, Rowena and the rest of the team. Sarah and family x

Nice pub and nice staff I only had beer.

Extremely good food, and not your usual chain pub microwaved stuff. We really appreciated the gluten free menu offered, and it's child friendly and dog friendly, too. Service was a little slow but nothing major.

Nice pub meals are worth the visit.

Had a great Sunday lunch at the Culcheth arms today12/5724. The Sunday roast was delicious with a plentifful serving of meat. The cauliflower cheese served as a side was to die for and was enough for 3 people. The staff werecheerful and attentive. Will definitely return. Compliments to the chef

Waited 1 hr for a table, fine. Was then told there was a wait of at least 45mins for food! Not fine. We left. Looked to be loads of tables empty. To be honest just seem to be disorganised and disinterested wait staff. Bar man was nice n friendly.

Decided to venture down the road for a night local date night, started off well. when checking in, we found there was a 40 min wait for food which wasn’t too bad so happily sat down. despite being lots of empty tables we were squished between two full tables on either side of us. hardly enough room to breathe, made the pair of us feel anxious knowing that both tables can listen in on our conversations and were very conscious that one person sat on the table next to us kept staring at us, kinda ruined the atmosphere. we ordered a cheesy flatbread which came quickly and the half with the cheese was absolutely gorgeous, however the half of it was just burnt bread. after this, we were sat waiting an extra 50 mins for our mains, sat with empty glasses too. no waitress came near for us to even ask if we want another drink so we went to the bar. waitresses seemed to just be gabbing with each other or the regulars. we clearly had a member of staff sat next to us as one of the waitresses, i want to say a head waitress or even manager, came over and slagged one of the other members of staff off, also stating the toilets hadn’t been cleaned one night. speaking of which, i went in the ladies and they were absolutely disgusting, no toilet roll in two of the three and the third had a lovely log left in it - fair enough not the staffs fault but still. when our food came, the portions were ridiculously small. we had a burger that came with about ten undercooked chips and a cold sunday dinner with a drizzle of gravy on it, charging for extra. after waiting over 50 mins for food, i’d at least want it hot. portions other than gravy were okay, wouldn’t phone home about it though and the lack of gravy made it extremely dry. no waitress came over to check if it was okay, asked if we wanted another drink, or even came near for us to ask any questions. awful service considering there was about 6 tables in. we ate it as we were starving, and when we finally got the attention of someone for the bill - they add an optional service fee. usually, this is something you can select on a card reader yourself, however the waitress basically guilt tripped you into paying it even though they didn’t help us at all. it’s an awkward situation to put someone in, and not fair when staff don’t deserve the tip. i’m someone more than happy to pay a tip if i’m happy with the service, however this time i really wasn’t and nobody asked me the whole time. considering it’s a small local pub, you’d expect the staff to know to be happy and friendly, meet customer service levels and instead of being rude. you’d expect it from a big chain maybe, certainly not this. would not recommend, would not go again, wouldn’t think twice.

Under cooked chips and earthy potatoes , burger was like rubber (butchers burger) doesn't mean they're good. It wasn't. Steak pie filling was lovely, pastry undercooked and stodgy. The staff don't like complaints and i wasn't comfortable after complaining. Prices are expensive for pub food so you would at least expect it to be half decent. I came out still hungry and disappointed. I had to feed my daughter when we got home. She didn't like anything on her plate. I wouldn't recommend the place and I won't be wasting my money going there again.

Nice welcoming place, friendly staff and dog friendly.

Waited 20 mins for a sandwich Eventually gave up And the wan 20 quid for fish and chips if theirs award for poor everything it's won by a mole

Full of pretentious Culcheth village locals

Went Wednesday early evening, sorry to say food wasn't good. All 4 of us didn't eat more than 25% of the meal and sent it back (the picture is what was sent back) fish was greasy, you can see how much bottom left under the fish with soggy batter, the chips were like rubber. Waitress was asked if it had been microwaved, assured not but I'm not convinced. Meal was offered for free. Not recommended.

Amazing mothers day service! Lovely warm welcome on arrival & attentive waiting staff. Food arrived hot and delicious 😋. Beautiful pub & we will be returning soon. Mr & Mrs Spud

All round lovely pub with good quality food. Only minor issue was the time the food took to arrive at the table.

Great vegan food, and excellent value for money. Treated my poodle like a princess. Highly recommended x

Goid pub, always busy when we've visited, sometimes you have to wait a bit to get served. I'm not knocking the barstaff it's just very busy at times which is a good thing

Had a lovely Sunday roast. Not sure how they make the Yorkshire's but they were devine. Service was the best we have had in ages thanks to Rowena for making the the whole experience brilliant.

Situated within the small town of Culcheth, this pub is easy to reach on foot or drive to (with its own, free, car park). If going for evening meal, it might be best to book ahead, but there is plenty of space if just popping in for a drink too. They often have a range of standard and guest beers, which adds interest. They often have real fires burning (they have two in each of the main rooms), which makes it lovely to sit by the fire on a cold, wet evening with a pint chatting with friends. Generally, the atmosphere has been friendly and relaxed when I have visited, making it a nice place to visit.

Fab lunch and wonderful staff. So dog friendly too. 😁

Amazing Sunday roast and unfalterable staff to match

Good service, reasonable range of drinks. Good singer the night we were there

Went to the Michael Bublé night 2nd December fantastic night. Meal and entertainment for £23.99 can't beat it. Staff exceptionally lovely and friendly. So good going with partner and dog to Santa Paws breakfast. Only downside large table at back who were a nightmare. Poor artist who was great was so fed up of them. Just shouting heckling making sure rest of room was disrupted. Don't go to event like that if you don't want to listen. But night great well done. Elaine

We didn't eat but staff very friendly great selection of dog treats at the bar really cosy warm feel

Drinks only, spent 3 hours in comfort with good friends. 👍

Just called in for something to eat.

Great well priced food with great service. Good choice of beers

A really friendly pub. Clean and with a nice atmosphere. Drinks reasonably priced and the flavoured tonics were lovely! Would recommend.

We live 40 miles from Culcheth, so we make a considered decision when going for a meal. The fact we visit regularly bears testament to our delight we get from the Culcheth Arms.

The food was disappointing. We had to send the "hand rolled" pizza back to be cooked more as the base was completely white and the cheese barely melted. The pizza lacked flavour and was generally not nice. The dirty fries left much to be desired and we're topped with BBQ sauce, cheese and bacon. Again the cheese was barely melted. The popcorn chicken from the bar snacks section was very nice. Lovely batter and tasty. The cappuccino I ordered was scalded and needed to cool down until near the end of the meal before it was a drinkable temperature. It was disappointing to find that the fire was not lit in the dining room leading to the room to be quite chilly, especially on a November evening. The staff were great, very pleasant and apologetic about the food. Hopefully the above is just a one off but this was my first time eating here in a few years and I don't think I'll be returning.

Good food, great service. Well done guys. Clean, tidy dining room. Love that it's dog friendly as well.

Called in for Sunday lunch. Two of us. Pub is very clean as are the toilets. Staff are friendly but seemed a little disorganised. We had to wait a while for our meals to come but when they did the portions were small. I had two very small slices of beef. None the less the food was tasty and very hot. You had the option to pay for extra food but as this was our first time I didn’t realise that the portions were small. We had to ask for the desert menu after we had waited for an age. The staff did not ask if everything was ok with the meal and brought the bill rather than the dessert menu. I have given a rating of average but it was a little above that and I will give it another go. Just hope the staff are more attentive and potions control up there game.

Celebrated my birthday food warmed up veg and potatoes slices of meat from supermarket waited nearly 1 hour although we booked a meal for 3.30. We were asked for £16 service charge. What a let down for my birthday.

A lot of atmosphere I like the idea of the tribute act with meal even though it was a little expensive

Absolutely delicious Sunday Dinner definitely one of the best I've had! We both ate everything on our plate! The veg was really lovely and the roasties and yorkshire puddibgs were perfect (and I normally leave them bits), and there was a great choice of sides. We got the cauliflower cheese and there was literally a cheese pull it was so creamy and cheesy! And for the price as well, 100% recommended

Just been with the dog. Dog could go almost anywhere in the pub, food was amazing and so were the cocktails. Definitely coming back!!!

Think The Culcheth Arms must be under new management because the food has took a real nosedive from previous visits. You might find the menu ok if you like Pizza or burgers. I had Mozarella and tomato salad which was completely tasteless and served in a small bowl which couldnt contain the ingredients. The result being food all over the table. Friend had the Greek platter which she said was 'ok'. Very nice service, poor food.

Really poor and rude appaling service. Waited for food nearly an hour, that was nothing special for the price you pay. Don't recommend, really no positives to this place, go someplace else.

What a lovely afternoon with live music and great atmosphere . Thank you once again to the Culcheth Arms . Tx

6 of my family and Hamish the Scotty visited The Culcheth Arms last night for a family get together. We had booked a table for six at 7pm, unfortunately some of the party were delayed so it was quite late when we all Sat down to eat. The staff were really very understanding and gave us time to peruse the menu without rushing us. Lots of lovely dishes on offer and a nice range of drinks available to choose from. When our meals arrived all were piping hot and well presented, the food tasted as good as it looked and all of us enjoyed our selected meals. Service was excellent, really pleasant and helpful staff made sure we enjoyed our experience, well done everyone and thank you from Hamish for making him so welcome.

Excellent for lunch menu , I had the Culcheth burger at about 2pm which was fantastic, did not need to eat till the following day , my colleague had fish and chips which was massive, good service and great food

Excellent .Great friendly staff

Visited as a family, service and food was fantastic. As soon as we arrived at lunch kids were told they could select a game to play from the shelf and that kept them entertained while we waited for food. Highly recommended.

Great place very friendly staff, made ma and my friend laugh, food was fab

Just had a fantastic lunch at the Culcheth Arms. Charlotte and Jen run a really welcoming pub where the food is fantastic and they’ll adapt it to your wants easily. Excellent comfy local pub for a fantastic lunch or evening meal anytime

The food and service was spot on. Great value for money and a lovely pub. We'll definitely be back soon.

Located in the lovely Culcheth, this pub has everything and more. Red stripe on tap, and a friendly atmosphere with a welcoming outdoor area. This is strongly accompanied by a warm, and relaxing classic ‘rural interior’ style bar side sitting area.

All freshly cooked food which was great, they have a fantastic selection of drinks as well. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Only negatives were there were a few fly's in the restaurant area (unavoidable) and the food took quite a while to come out despite the restaurant not having many tables in.

We have eaten in here lots of times and each time has been outstanding. Proper home cooked food. Had the chicken roast dinner today and my partner had the Culcheth Arms burger and chips and both were absolutely gorgeous . Those triple cooked chips OMG to die for . Hats off to Chis and Charlotte . It's a pleasure to have you on our doorstep .

Love it here. Always do the pizza night, and the Sunday lunch is a bargain and really tasty. Staff are lovely and service is quick. Our favorite local pub

Brilliant dog friendly pub, attentive and polite staff, with a varied non pretentious menu, we had a lovely Sunday lunch, (granted the portion could be bigger) they also have a decent kids menu and the restaurant/ pub is diligently ran by the lovely owners who understand that they gain massively by allowing dogs in the establishment…coming from Wigan where decent pubs are rare and dogs are simply not allowed in most places, The Culcheth Arms is a huge breath of fresh air for us as we no longer have to rush home to the our pooch. Well apart from our dogs breath that is 😆

My wife & I just had a fantastic Sunday lunch - Main course, sweet and wine. Although we had been before on a weekday, this was a first for Sunday lunch. Traditional and unbelievably good. From coming in to leaving, the staff & service througjout were excellent, friendly & helpful.

The staff were friendly and welcoming. We asked to switch tables and they accommodated us with no issues. The food is amazing! I ordered the Culcheth Arms Burger - it's delicious and huge!! I can't imagine needing to double up, although that is an option! Served with delicious chunky chips and coleslaw - spot on! We had a garlic and cheese flatbread to start- again, very generous - 12" so definitely something to share between 3+ people. Me and hubby split it before our mains but we were so full afterwards! Saturday lunchtime seemed oddly quiet, but the people there appeared to be regulars. We've been before and we'll definitely return 🙂

Nice place, with good outside space.

We've been a few times lately, and the food has always been fantastic. I always start with salt & pepper prawns, and they are absolutely amazing. My hubby had the popcorn chicken for his starter, and the batter is so good. The small fish & chips are enough for me after a decent size starter and again so good. Hubby had to return his meal today because he asked for a plain chicken burger, and it came with everything, but it was no problem and it was sorted. They are so dog friendly with a dog menu for your furry friends. Decent price for good quality food.

Great food. Steak was among the best I've ever had, wonderfully tender and perfectly cooked. Lovely service. Brilliantly dog friendly throughout the whole premises not just a small area.

Beer was alright, food was nice besides the pizza being incredibly dry. Cost was on the upper scale, would honestly just go somewhere nearby. Probably nice for a few drinks though. Edit: Food and drink ordering is at the bar Edit2: Hate to edit again, but I don't like how the reply downplayed it from "incredibly" to "slightly". The pizza genuinely hurt my tongue, I'd have probably been bleeding like I'd had a large packet of co-op's salt and vinegar crisp if I had more than half of it.

Visisted The Culcheth Arms for lunch on Friday and to work from the pub for a couple of hours, the new £9.95 meal and drink Lunch menu is fabulous value for money the king prawn and chilli linguini is lush with lots of prawns and a big portion too! Will definitely be returning.

When you name a burger after the pub, please try to make it nice. It implies that you have produced something special. Instead I was served a rally poor quality burger patty and missing items like burger sauce and a toasted bun. If your going to charge £17 for a burger, at least follow its description and buy a patty that is real meat and not a forced birdseye frozen lump of grey mechanically recovered rubbish. And jacket potato’s cut into wedges does no make a serving of chips. Music was foul too. Rubbish rnb and rude raps. When eating lunch I don’t expect to hear a song about getting pu**y and cash.

Always be the Harrow in my mind

Brilliant pub to visit for the family, plenty of outdoor space on sunny days, and dog friendly too.

Just celebrated a 50th Wedding Anniversary at The Culcheth Arms and we couldn't be happier with our choice of venue. On arrival we were made to feel very welcome by Jen and her team and they continued to be helpful all afternoon. Guests enjoyed the delicious buffet and we were very pleased with the portion size and quality. Thank you for helping us to make this occasion so special for our Mum and Dad.

Nice staff, but the food horrible.. they use spices that just do not agree with me..

Had a great Sunday roast, food was fabulous, the service was first class. Cheaper than cooking at home

Always friendly and welcoming. Staff take the time to get to know you. Highly recommend.

Outstanding experience at the Culcheth Arms. The staff were extremely attentive, they ensured we had everything we needed and asked if we wanted any extra condiments. The food was very fresh and aesthetically pleasing. I would definitely visit here again.

On the 23rd of March 2023 at 7:30, we went to The Culcheth Arms in Warrington. The staff were really friendly and accommodating. I have autism and specific interests, which the staff were more than happy to accommodate. The food was really nice; I had the pizza, followed by the chocolate brownie and a hot chocolate. I also made a special request, which the staff fulfilled exceptionally well. Overall, it was a fantastic evening, and I cannot wait to go back again.

Lovely food. Staff really nice and friendly .

Food was excellent and so was service

Love the fire and the Guinness is the die for.

Dave Wolsoncroft is in Culcheth Arms with 🐶Travis🐶 eating and drinking, & chatting with Wayne , Michelle & Ronnie, after very good day at Doggy Country Club, good times are here again🏋🏽‍♂️💪🙏🐶🐝

Had a pre ordered meal with family for the december/fesitive menu. Food was perfect! Lots of excellent food choices, great value for money, amazing presentation and very flavourful. The beef wellington was a firm favourite. Staff very friendly and attentive. Thank you to Kerry who...
