Dog and Partridge Hotel in Warrington

Lovely meal in a great dog friendly pub. Special thanks to Helen and Julie. Great atmosphere for a family meal. Granddaughter says they do the best chicken nuggets in the world!

lovely service , amazing food and drinks , warm atmosphere and lovely music . waitress was lovely and very helpful definitely i’ll be coming back

This transformation in this pub since Helen took over is night and day. Warm and welcoming for all. Lots of events, and lovely decor and beer garden. The food is lovely but I'd be back more often if there were more vegan/plant based options. Dog being welcome is a huge plus for me as the pub is across the road from one of my favourite walking spots along the river. It's handy for walker and cyclists too.

Absolutely bad since the new woman took over an absolute horrible person from people that work their bit no now as everyone has left

I’ve lived close for nearly 15 years but have been in more since the pub was changed over , Helen is always very chatty and have always had great service . I’m back in today for the great Sunday lunch

We cannot fault the pub, often call in and always feel very welcome.

I’ve been in a few time since the new management. My little girl started talking to the manager who started to tell us all the wonderful events she had planned. We are booked to go their for Xmas day and I’m sure it’ll be wonderful. Keep up the good work.

We travelled over from Urmston for a Stevie Nicks tribute night and received probably our warmest pub welcome in 50+ years from landlady Helen. She made sure we were happily seated and later spent time chatting about her 9 months at the pub. It is a large pub with large car park and very easy to find on main road just outside Warrington. It has large indoor and outdoor seating areas for food + large games room. The pub is immaculate having had a high quality refurb and we found all the staff very friendly and obliging. Highly recommended and thanks again to Helen for a great night. We will be back to try the food soon!

Went for a family meal, good food and atmosphere.

Good food, great service, friendly atmosphere, great place to be!

Staff pleasant food not great . Dogs wandering round . Not pleasant when you don’t have a dog they should be a designated area for this

Great food, with part of family. Helen works hard. This is our local. Well done to all.

Been here for a few motorbike meets and with the family good food and service is how it should be

Lovely pub, bacon cheese burger and fries was excellent, staff were very friendly and helpful, prompt service even though over 50 of us arrived at once. All in all a great pub.

Stopped in on my 50th Birthday with my family and the owner was brilliant and made sure I had a brilliant day. My Granddaughter absolutely loves Bella the biggest dog she’s seen!!

3rd time we've eaten here since it being refurbished. Each time the food has been spot on. Took our family last week, ordered 5 adult meals and 2 children's. Although we had to wait quite a while, all our food came out together and was gorgeous. Staff are welcoming, food is delicious, Bella the dog is gorgeous and the offers they do are brilliant.

I booked for a table of 10 for a family birthday. Helen was great will all communications and on the night. Great food that we could pre order to save time. Brilliant service and a lovely night

I only had a drink, not food, but it's a nice clean pub with a good car park and friendly staff.

The pub was clean, the drinks are good and the food was amazing! The service wasn’t great. Not enough staff on for a busy evening. That said - we would absolutely return

It is an excellent pub with lovely people and friendly staff.

Great pub , nice to sit inside, or out on the decking, pleasant staff , and excellent breakfasts.

Was a really good local, loads of regulars out for a pint, a natter and a pub tea. New landlord has converted it to a biker and dog venue and has ruined it

Had a great afternoon / evening here 😊 it was their festival in aid of blood bikes with live music all day. Staff where really good and food even though they were only offering a reduced menu food was lovely.

Lovely pub with great food they even had dog beds

Fab food good service great staff

Great meal thanks so much Chloe was really helpful when ordering would definitely come back again service was quick thanks a lot

Lovely staff who were unfortunately run off there feet. Not their fault as the unexpected good weather brought the punters out. Food was lovely, our party of four all enjoyed their meals. Very good value for money too. We'll hopefully be back soon, thanks.

Been several times and always always a great atmosphere, bar staff and management always helpful and friendly. We were served by Julie this time who was very helpful. It's a dog friendly place and with a large beer garden. Also an outside seating area with heaters. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely Sunday roast with the dog. Beef was lovely and juicy and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Heather served us and made some lovely cocktails. We will definitely be back

Amazing dinner, really good value for money The chef is fab! Everyone really friendly, Heather and Cohen on bar, and chatted with Helen the landlady too, all really nice

Great food and great service by Erin and the staff - always a warm welcome and good experience

Good clean pub with excellent food

Really welcoming pub/ restaurant. Staff very friendly. Good prepared quickly, hot and reasonably priced. Erin looked after us like we were family! Can’t fault it!

Visited the Dog and Partridge during a recent bike night and decided to eat there… Really friendly attentive staff, really good menu, lots of choice.. food ordering was quick and efficient. food arrived hot and well Presented and was really tasty.. overall great experience and well worth a visit.. Be back soon ;)

Recently got a new landlady and had a refurb. My husband and I have been a few times for food or just a drink in the garden. Welcoming staff and lovely food can recommend the sharing starter which is enough as a main meal .

Great beer garden and friendly staff 👍🍻

Gonna have to admit just had a full english in there and it wasn't the best behonest egg should of been two of one turned up dry as a bone bacon was two strands feels like it's been cooked and left under the heat to dry of then took ages to get to the table too. Sorry just had to say might not go back for a while

Friendly staff&the food was lovely. Love the new decor too. However,the dog situation is not for me so I will only be visiting in future if it's nice weather&we can sit outside. I did ask for the black dog to be removed from begging at my side as it wasn't appropriate &I am allergic to dogs&cats. The young lady did this but a few minutes later it returned. Once there were 5 dogs in there I left. I totally understand how allowing dogs would be welcome to a lot of people but it doesn't cater for those who are allergic. Good luck to the new manager who I might add was lovely&friendly &bought some pencils for my grandkids when she couldn't find any.

Had a wonderful time at the pub today Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Very friendly staff and very attentive Thank you. The food was lovely but I dont understand that they can offer a senior menu but it was actually less food than the children plating! Was disappointed with it really about eight chips a desert-spoonful of peas and five small scampi. I didnt want a big meal but I was expecting more than a child’s meal! I didnt say anything at the time because the staff were just super but I would definitely not recommend the senior - probably better not to offer it. Thanks for a lovely Sunday afternoon. Great place for families with loads of outdoor space and games. Very clean

A middling...it's ok. Service scored low because we ordered a sirloin steak and 3 roast dinners ..for this to take over 40 minutes to arrive is a mystery. Lovely having dogs in a pub, but the rest was just average...won't be rushing back

Great pub. Under new ownership and couldn't be better. Lovey staff, great food and well kept beers. Well worth a visit.

Sadly food hasn't improved with change in management.

Went to watch the footy and decided to have food...got the 3 starters for £14 and some chips everything delicious especially the cauliflower...only negative and its not the pubs fault...someone on next table decided to feed their dog something very fishy ..my husband is a dog lover but he agreed it wasn't nice to be sitting on next table with such a strong awful smell ..hasnt put us off will be visiting again 👍

Honest review since the relaunch, been 5 times 1st night opening night,expensive 5.40p a pint in a local pub 2nd time drinks on a sat night,dogs everywhere in the bar,finished pint and left 3rd time ordered food,was dreadful microwave food 4th time went for drinks on the balcony, was enjoying it,till some idiot,i presume landlady's partner started jet washing his car in side car park,very noisy and get wet 5th time went for drinks just recently 9-10 underage kids watching football unattended, pretty sure against the law,landlady just walked straight past them,the bar staff are good ,its just a really badly run pub Just received a return from the manager"points not pints" No idea what it means,very disappointed

The senior meal deal said half a fish and chips the fish was terrible the smallest fish I've ever seen the end of it was all batter and one mouthful was all I got

Nice pub, good sized garden out the back. Staff friendly and efficient.

Lovely pub, great food and nice friendly people, has several bike nights and breakfast at the weekend. Will be back for a drink soon 🤪

First time visiting with my family, after the refurbishment. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, instantly felt comfortable. The food was delectable. Looking forward to coming again 😊

Refurbishment is great, the issue i had was the food. 1st 2 items on the starter not on and no beef for the Sunday roast. No reason was given and the place was not busy. Starter- mushrooms so hard they we hard to cut & very greasy. Mains: vegetables solid inedible not al dente , turkey was mushy, roast potatoes & Yorkshire over cooked, the gravy was thick and tasteless with lumps in, the side order of mash had a crust on top. This was reported and we were offered another choice from the menu or a discount. We refused both we had seen other food being taken back and did not want to wait for more inedible food and we were not complaining for a financial gain, we just wanted for our complaint to be taken seriously. Hopefully by reviewing on here something may be done to improve the food.

Was lovely to see the transformation . We sat outside and the kids loved the amount of toys and games to play with. Landlady just a ball of energy and so nice. Looking forward to being a regular there with the grandkids. Bit of a note. I did notice how people used the toys ie roughly. Breaking items . Not tidying away. Politeness goes a long way. Tidy up after your kids

Full of dog freaks and extremely expensive

Super friendly local with new management. There is music, dog walks once a month, biker breakfast on Saturday morning. Petrol heads on a Thursday evening. Nice place to bring the family anytime, big children play area. All good.

Our first (but not last) visit for lunch. Food..full breakfast, steak pie and Mac cheese..was excellent. Friendly staff and a lovely chat with Helen frae Embra. Keep up the good work and don't forget the meringue in the Eton Mess.

Just drinks ,but nice place big carpark and gardens

Lovely welcoming staff, but the food and how its prepared let's it down . Beef over done and dry says pink on the menu?? frozen veg, cauliflower cheese hard and just stalks ..fried stuffing full of crispy oil, thin bisto style gravy, didn't enjoy.shame as its a beautiful pub.

Great breakfast good atmosphere

Took our residents from Bucklow Manor Care home to the dog and partridge for lunch today. We were greeted by lovely Helen who always makes you feel welcome. We were seated by lovely pheobe who was very welcoming and polite and has a beautiful smile always. Then lovely Tegan took our orders at the bar another member of staff that is always smiling and very welcoming. Our residents chose the fish and chips from the seniors Menu followed by ice cream. They all comented on how lovely the fish was and emptied their plates which doesn't always happen. They all had a great time followed by cuddles with Bella the pub dog. Highly recommended even if you only want a snack or a full lunch. We will definitely be visiting again. We'll done team.

Refurbishment looks fantastic , however service was poor , drinks were fine although served without any garnish and we were encouraged to sit anywhere we like , menu looked fine although after we order we watched 4 tables be served the wrong food including ourselves , the food itself was okay but was clearly wasn’t fresh and the presentation was awful very similar to spoons

A very nice place with nice service and the pub is so large that everyone will find a place for themselves, whether inside or outside. I highly recommend❤️🏍️

Good food at reasonable prices.

Me and my boyfriend were going to go for a nice drink with the dog whilst the weather is nice, however when we arrived there was no room for cars as it was full of motorbikes and the riders. So much for a nice quiet drink! Not welcoming at all, I know they aren’t doing anything but god help the neighbours. Turned around and went straight home

Went for tea to check it out after the refurb and wish we hadn't bothered. Got to be the worst pub food I've ever had seriously it was absolutely awful! Everything was microwaved and they missed half the stuff from the menu descriptions off the food. Just got 3 small plates between us and it took 45 mins to arrive and was terrible. Had to send one of the plates back because the cheese was sprinkled over but not melted. Basic stuff. One of the dishes should have come with hot honey and picked red onion, nowhere to be seen. My wife tried to get some mayo out the bottle but it wouldnt come out, although it was almost full. I opened it and there was a big chunk of mold on the top blocking it 🤢 We gave feedback to the waitress who thanked us for the feedback. No issues with drinks, just the quality of food and time it took to arrive for what it was. Really disappointed, we have always liked having a walk there to eat on summer evenings in the past. We won't be going again.

My wife and I thought we would walk to the Dog and Partridge as it was a nice warm lovely afternoon. I ordered for a starter crispy chicken strips and then the wife and I had the scampi and chips. We decided to have the starter at the same time as the main and I now wished I hadn’t due to waiting 58 minutes to get our food. Presentation wasn’t great but what was clear to see was the number of scampi on my wife’s plate to mine. She had 13 pieces and I had 10. Wasn’t happy can the staff in the kitchen not count. On a plus note the starter was good and staff friendly but wouldn’t come for food again very basic menu and took to long

I've started to attend recently for a breakfast on a Saturday Morning and it never dissapoints, great atmosphere and great cheap food.

Biker friendly 😁😎 Often stop here for just a quick drink or most commonly breakfast. Super friendly staff and go above and beyond to make us feel welcome

Great pub and biker friendly. The landlady is a legend and welcomes everyone. I highly recommend it

The pub looks really good now it's had its refurb, bar staff were good, very friendly, good selection of drinks. The thing that hugely let it down was the food, I understand that it's a pub primarily but the food itself was way below average. Overcooked chewy beef (says served pink) cauliflower cheese was harder than cement, roast potatoes were soft and squishy, broccoli didn't taste right either. We feel we didn't get value for money. However we will be back (just for drinks) as there were no problems on that front.

Friday afternoon with the family,, it was lovely , 2 mixed grill for the lads, steak for the sister lasagne for my bestie & I had the pie (it's outstanding) 2nd time I've had it, Great vibe in the pub lovely staff & landlady really kind & helpful ! I really love this ! Beeen my family's local for over 50 years with my grandparents & dad too xxx I'm loving it's had makeover & is thriving too, xxxx

Had the nicest Guinness after a walk delivering Labour leaflets.

Returning semi-regular customer. Like much of the local community we were keen to try the new D&P and first visited on its second weekend in its new iteration- as some reviewers have noted there were a few teething issues around the issue of dog mess in the garden, and staff seemed a bit overstretched as it was very busy, no doubt the novelty of people checking out the refurbishment. Two weeks later we returned and it was clear the management had taken feedback on board and we spent a very pleasant 3-4 hours in the sunny beer garden, no dog deposits to be seen, with much tighter service. The atmosphere was warm, the staff were friendly and chatty as they served and collected glasses, and outdoor activities had been put all around the beer garden to entertain the younger patrons. Cosmetically the pub looks refreshed; it badly needed a facelift and it looks fantastic inside and out- especially the new terrace. The new management have been keen to stress that the focus on food has shifted from that of the previous tenants, and they are under no pretensions that they are serving gourmet food- if you want a nice bite at a reasonable price then the pub grub they serve is fine. The cask beer was well kept with long-standing favourite Timothy Taylors still available. I couldn’t fault the service, with familiar faces behind the bar as well as new team members. The Scottish lady (manager?) was absolutely lovely, funny, and made a lot of effort with all customers whenever I encountered her during our visit. I wish the Dog every success, we intend to support our local and see it succeed.

Lovely refurb on the pub. Good drinks selection. Food was disappointing, we all had Sunday lunch which was barely warm on serving it to us . We had to ask for a meal that was missing as well as the pigs in blankets that we ordered as extras . All our pudding had to be returned , chocolate brownies arrived cold , the menu said they would be warm and the custard for the crumble was cold. Will definitely pop in for drinks in the future but will give the food a miss.

Great dog friendly pub, delicious food and friendly staff 10/10 will be coming back!

Really enjoyed our food and all the staff was really helpful.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and nice food. We felt really comfortable and our dog got some treats too. Definitely be back.

Recommended petrol head place. Simple, lovely breakfast. Dog and kid super friendly place.

Yet another fantastic evening in the Dog for a family birthday celebration. Food was lovely and the staff are so friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Thank you to Helen and team.

Very poor service and food was alright, nothing more. New tenants, think they are trying g to do to much too soon. Need to food right before doing more events.

Excellent food and family-friendly atmosphere

Lovely, friendly staff. Great atmosphere and family friendly. Food was excellent and service was fast

Invited for the opening and service was great.

Pros: A very dog friendly pub and nice outside area. The lovely waitress Erin was amazing and very attentive. Cons: However the food was a big disappointment. The normal main menu portion sizes that we ordered were small and very basic. Gammon small and overcooked. I think the chips were frozen and not home made. Would visit again but for a drink only. Even though the large wine I chose was £8.10.

Beautiful pub grub in a gorgeous pub, full of happy people, some with happy dogs Great atmosphere

Six of us have been coming here every Wednesday lunchtime for over 12months but after visiting the past 3weeks we have decided we won’t be coming again. Last week we waited an hour for our lunch,wasn’t worth the wait. Only 2 choices of fillings for jacket potatoes,beans or hunters chicken. Think there must have been a shortage of beans compared to what we would normally have been given. But we decided to give them another chance today ,the jacket and beans were ok but the jacket and hunters chicken(who thought that idea up?) didn’t look or taste like fresh chicken and the extra bbq sauce we asked for because the potato was dry was given cold. On a plus note the young waitress and waiter were both very polite.

I went to the Dog and Partridge as part of their new monthly dog walk. The walk itself was really well attended and the owner welcomed people as they arrived. After the walk we were welcomed back to the pub with treats for the dogs and a brew for us. My friends and I stayed and talked for a while and ended up ordering lunch. I had Katsu Curry and it was really tasty. The bar staff were friendly and knowledgeable, when I asked for the range of non-alcoholic drinks available. All in all a lovely morning and lunch. Thank you team D&P.

It's ok for a drink not worth the visit for the food. The cheese burger I had was to greasy, wasn't even real cheese it was a cheese slice. And hardly any salad on the burger. Very Small portions for the price and didn't come with onion rings.

First visit in over 20yrs. Used to be my local. Colour scheme is nice and staff friendly. We had the seniors lunch 2 courses £10.99. We had the Hunters chicken and chips. Came with a small salad. The portions are smaller for the Seniors, but we couldn't eat much at lunchtime anyway. The crumble and custard was a good portion and lovely. Value for money but, but if you like big portions go for the main menu. Would have been nice to have the option of adding peas if you didn't want salad.

We were fairly regular visitors , mostly for drinks, occasional food before the refurb. Visited at just after 12noon on a Saturday afternoon, about 3 weeks after the new opening. Really disappointed. Refurb is nice enough, but not really to my taste, it feels more like a poncey hotel than cosy neighbourhood pub, but it’s clean and comfortable. However, we walked in, with a couple of lads not far behind us. Nobody at the bar, there was a young lady cleaning tables, a young man appeared from the back and disappeared again, an older lady talking to customers in the library’ area, but nobody acknowledged the 4 customers standing at the bar- not even to say hello - someone will be with you in a minute… so unwelcoming. When we did finally get served, the barmaid was pleasant enough, but the pump ran out on the bitter ( happens, I know - but we’d already waited about 5 mins or more to be served) so we just took the not quite full pint. I asked for a pinot Grigio, I’m no expert, but almost certainly it was a Chardonnay that I received. Then the server had no idea how to deal with a customer paying cash rather than card. In the meantime the 2 guys who came in just after us were still waiting to be served… but the older lady was faffing with a tea urn, and still chatting to customers who had obviously been in from early for breakfast. Shame, as one of the reasons we liked the pub previously was friendly service, Dexter always recognised regulars, (and we only went in about once a month, but he still knew us) and he acknowledged anyone who walked through the door, with a constant presence at the bar. It’s early days I know, and we’ll give it another try at some point, but a local pub with nobody stood behind the bar to welcome punters, and staff milling about who also don’t even say hi, or acknowledge you’re waiting - well that’s not a great start to new management. Also, the Rope & Anchor , not a quarter of a mile down the road is also refurbed, with welcoming bar staff, we never liked it by comparison to the Dog & Partridge, but may have changed our minds based on today’s experience

Came back here as a returning customer from the old dog and partridge. Unfortunately not impressed with the food and not worth the journey just to come here from Liverpool for food. Burger was riddled in grease.

Was looking forward to coming back here. Especially as always loved the old dog and partridge. Unfortunately not impressed with the food and not worth the journey just to come here from Liverpool for food. Burger was riddled in grease.

What on earth have they done!! Atmosphere is ruined by a has been bouncer, eyeballing everyone from the corner of the room and walking round like he has a point to prove. As a regular and friend of long term regulars, I would have thought the staff would have been friendly, introducing themselves to the regulars at least. I haven't personally tried the food, but I haven't heard anything good. Only bad, slow and undercooked, including the time since a chef has been suspended. The new bar staff are terrible. Charging extra where its not required. Extremely slow, like if they went slower they'd go backwards. Additional star on service is for the old staff, nothing else. The beer garden is apparently covered in dog muck. Be dog friendly yes but have a ruling on muck and be ready to clear some up yourselves too. Prices...... oh christ, we were ready and expecting an increase but wow. Don't charge us extra and serve flat beer. I've lost count of how many flat beers me and my friends have been given. I'll be surprised if the brewery stands for this shambles of a start. Not what people wanted and certainly not what they'll come back for.

Just met friends who were eating there and they had to wait quite a while for food.great service at bar and wide range of beers and lagers available. I will try the food in a couple of weeks once it has settled down.

Great staff. Varied good value menu Alcohol free wine would be good - ideally Rose

The pub’s refurbishment is fab! The pub so needed it! Can’t wait to sit outside in the warmer weather! Just a shame the landlord & landlady didn’t introduce themselves to their customers! The staff were very friendly & plenty of them serving, as it was the first night, I enquired about what time they serve food until, & the member of staff didn’t know, but she did go and find out & come back to me. We will go back & try the food next time. Enjoyed our visit, thk u :)

Excellent opening night. Great atmosphere. Improvements very tasteful, decor furniture etc. Food good, fast service, plenty of staff. Landlady Helen seems very professional and helpful. Julie looked after us also, lovely lady. We will be back next week with our gang!

Lovely food. Excellent service. Very good atmosphere. Will definitely come again. Very impressed. Will also recommend.

I’ve been going to the dog and partridge for over 10 years and it looks amazing with revamp and even serves Moretti now so I’m over the moon

Amazing new owners have bought real charm to the place, staff were super friendly, great friendly ambience. The new menus are very reasonably priced & great value, although it’s a trek for us - we will be making regular trips Cannot recommend it highly enough

Really lovely place! Lovely staff, very friendly! Fantastic outside area! Food was great and drinks reasonable so definitely coming back!

Absolutely the warmest of welcomes from the team. Menu has a great selection, the price is even better. The new makeover looks tremendous! Cannot wait for the warm weather to enjoy the garden terrace. Well done guys you’ve smashed it
