Egerton Arms in Cheshire East

Food a staff Great. I'd recommend.

Such a beautiful, quaint pub/ restaurant with a lot of history. Really good food and warm service.

Just fancied a last minute roast yesterday. Racked our brains to find out what was close. Read some reviews of the Egerton Arms. Been going there for years whilst working at a local care home, but not been in a long time. Managed to get a table for 3 at 2:30pm (plus our dog!). Quick service, excellent menu. Ordered 3x roast dinners. Wow!! I had the roast chicken and it was fabulous. Piping hot, fresh and so tasty. Amazing portion size with veg on the side as well. For £16.95 as well there are no complaints. I've paid £20 elsewhere and been nowhere near as good! We will be back, absolutely no doubt about that. Well done guys. Keep it up!!

Fantastic very friendly staff, amazing food made with fresh good quality ingredients Good value for money too. We wilk be back.

Wide variety of vegetarian choices. Delicious food, generous portions, competitively priced and good service. The pub is beautiful inside with a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere

Visited twice here whilst on holiday Can't fault the place to be honest. Lovely staff great food and nice atmosphere. The vegetarian options are varied and very tasty. Sticky toffee pudding with custard was amazing looked and tasted better than in some Michelin star restaurants (we have been to a few) Keep up the good work and thank you for making our visit more memorable

It had been years since I last visited athe Edgerton Arms. I had super fond memories. Unfortunately, yesterdays Sunday lunch did not live up to the memory. See the pic, it's says it all. A couple of scaggly pieces of beef literally thrown on the plate with some veg and additional veg in a side plate. I felt as sad as the plate looked. I am surprised that any kitchen would send a plate out looking the way my plate looked.

Booked ahead of time and mentioned we had 2 vegans for a Sunday lunch. Had a lovely vegan pie with all the trimmings and everything was clearly laid out for vegans/non vegans. Really painless experience which isn't always the case. Thanks so much for having us! And the food was brilliant and a fantastic Guinness.

The food was lovely and the staff were so friendly and helpful.

Really enjoyed Steak and Ale Pie and Beer

Very friendly lady with a fab Kent accent. Cosey pub with log fire to give it that homely feeling. Food was excellent, sticky toffee pudding recommended. So glad we popped in on the way past. Shame I don't live close or it would be visited alot by myself and other half

As this pub is a listed member of Britstop we are now staying for the 4th time here. A perfect place right in the middle between Dover and Scotland. As always we enjoyed staying here overnight and especially the delicious dinner!

Lovely staff, went above and beyond with our poorly daughter. We couldn't have asked for anything better.

Nice atmosphere and dark pub decor. Dog friendly which is nice. However, ive been 3 times in the last couple of years, usually at around 6pm so not late, and each time the staff have told us various items are missing from the menu. On the last visit it was over half the menu! What we eventually got was.. ok. The staff were also.. ok.

This pub is perfect for a family meal. The staff are lovely - especially my servers coco and Annabel (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for you both!). The food was cooked to perfection! Thanks for a great evening.

Absolutely brilliant, very friendly staff, fantastic food, we stayed in our motorhome as part of Brit stop, really worked well for us. Thank you guys for such a friendly welcome 😁

Visited this wonderful pub at midday on a Sunday. Great food, atmosphere and location. Reasonably priced and very friendly and attentive staff. Well fone

Good food staff are friendly but one male member sent me to the nearest alternative pub which he said was about 10 to 15 mins away turned out to be 40mins away.I was knackered missed valuable drinking time.

Pizza was rubbish, but management rectified the situation. Food was lovely for the rest of us. They brought a water bowl for the dogs, which was nice. My wife loved the lamb. The only thing that let it down was that the menu had alot of things they had ran out of which was a shame, making it limited in choice. Visited at 1800 so maybe why..

The service was very good and our main meals were nice (gluten free steak & ale pie and a prawn & crayfish salad), however the desserts were a disappointment, as neither were as described. The cheesecake in the menu just said cheesecake with fruit coulis and double cream, however what I received was a cheesecake covered in small malteser things with a chocolate sauce. I'm not a great fan of chocolate and this was far too sickly for my taste. Mum had honeycomb ice cream, but this was actually more like hard toffee and she struggled to bite through the large chunks. I the unlikely event we have desserts there again, we will certainly be clarifying what we're going to get!

Interior can seem a little gloomy.

Friendly and excellent food and service.

Didn’t order food but it looked amazing.

Beating pub a very good friendly service and nice food good local ale

We ordered 2 sandwiches, one a prawn the other cheese, plus chips and drinks for a lunchtime snack. They arrived on rather small brown baguettes for most appetites, and were hot! The cheese and onion had been well and truly toasted that the cheese was melting and the onions softened. It was a very hot day and a hot sandwich was not exactly desirable. Upon clearing our plates I made mention I had left half mine and was told they usually toast their sandwiches despite not being mentioned on their menu. The server had removed the charge for chips as an apology when the bill came which was appreciated. Lovely staff and quite attentive.

Well done for the food during the 🇬🇧 v Spain match very kind and such welcoming staff thanks

Staff amazing! Professional and courtious. Love the rib eye steak with a portion of Stilton cheese sauce!

Visited for lunch today 8th July. Pub very quiet when we arrived. Were greeted by friendly staff member, seated and offered drinks. We had the chicken wings (very hot) and prawn and crayfish cocktail for starters. Fish & chips and steak pie for mains. Fish was huge and very tasty. Unfortunately the pastry on the steak pie was very hard but when this was mentioned we were offered a free dessert. Overall a very nice, traditional country pub. Will visit again.

Sold out of specials starter at 7.10pm on a Friday evening, despite only a couple of tables occupied. Mains average, waitress cleared plates no offer of dessert or coffees. Asked at 9.40pm at the bar as no sign of any waiting on staff, told coffee machine has been turned off and was offered a soft drink or Diet Coke…?? Had to wait over 5 minutes at the bar to pay our bill, totally ignored, knocked off the 7.5% service charge, said I would be posting an unfavourable review and the boy just shrugged . Despite living close by we shall not be visiting again.

The food is incredible! Portion sizes are very good. The chips are so so good. Husband had the steak and ale pie and it was mouthwatering good, I'll be having it next time. The gammon was so juicy and tasty, very high quality food. Highly recommend going in for food. The staff were very lovely and friendly. Also, check out the dog portraits!

Beer was expensive about £10 for a Stella. Terrible poured pint with a lot of froth. Waitress was slow but did her job, in the end. L atmosphere

Dissappointing Poor service waited ages for someone to come and clear the plates didn’t bother to order dessert just got the bill as we were so fed up . Roast dinner wasn’t very nice Yorkshire puddings over cooked in fact most of the dinner was over cooked Won’t be going again 🙁

We had a roast dinner it was beautiful. Roast potatoes was crunchy. Very friendly staff and welcoming. Will be back again

We stopped here for lunch on our way home from Derbyshire to Lancashire. We ordered the Liver and Bacon with Mash and Gravy. Whilst the selection had great flavour there were some very tough veiny bits within the meat which was a little disappointing as these are usually cut out during the preparation prior to cooking. Apart from this minor incident the place had an inviting open fire and great atmosphere which led my score to be 5 overall but 4 for the quality of the food. I try to be balanced in my feedback.

Friendly staff but our main one who served us was a bit mechanical in speech, asking the questions but not even listening to answers, even walking away as we started to answer, so one of my answers is here. It only applies to my meal. I chose the liver and bacon dish, as this dish, wherever I eat it, is one of my favourites. It certainly wasn't this time. Liver undercooked, not as tasty as liver usually is - I even put salt on it to try to get some real taste - in vain - and it was like cutting rubber. And the sauce/gravy was a bit weak as well. The bacon mitigated it - very slightly because there was only a little of it. It was a chore to eat. I would have insisted on telling the waitress this but I felt it would have been a waste of time because her vocal output was so superficial - as I say - she asked the question but as she did so she was already walking away and not even in range to speak to with an answer without me raising my voice which I didn't want to as I thought it a waste of time in the circumstances.

Had a lovely last minute meal out. Most of us chose from the specials board, which offered some lovely seasonal choices. The server was very accommodating to some slightly awkward requests. We will return

Very average food with lots of children just running around. Not a relaxing place. My cheesecake was virtually frozen. Try elsewhere.

What a find that was , I had to visit this area because of the race the next morning, Airbnb was booked , I wasn't sure where to eat and what was around, so stopped in this pub , thought it would just be another pub , but it wasn't, the menu interesting, but the food was incredible, I chose the soup of the day , it was mushrooms soup and chose rump lamb, it was out of this world , not to mention how amazing were stuff , friendly and funny , this pub is a gem , 5 easy stars from me

Great place for food was delicious would highly recommend here

The food was delicious and the price was perfect. We come here regularly and the atmosphere is quiet and great to eat in.

Great selection of craft IPA cans!

Called in today at lunch time as no food at home and pleasantly surprised and the new menu is in place from today. I ordered the crispy beef wrap and salt and pepper chips. Jodie and Max lovely as always, fair few people in for a Monday lunchtime but not overly busy! Highly recommend!

The service was okay. The atmosphere wasn't great as we had a loud 'annoying' table behind us so unfair to comment. The Sunday lunch was good. The pub itself looks better from the outside - needs a little investment to bring it into the competitions league.

Lovely evening meal in nice cosy traditional country pub with low beams and big fireplaces. Friendly service and very attentive. Food delicious and large portions! Highly recommended.

Very pleasant relaxed place and food was lovely. Very nice staff too

We went on a Saturday Evening around 6pm. Admittedly just after new year but the pub was quite quiet. The service was excellent and the staff also paid attention to my little one making sure she was well set up with a colouring set. Food was really good, we both had Steaks and were cooked perfectly. Nice drinks. The only moan and reason it did not get 5 stars was the pub itself was cold!! We kept our coats on throughout the meal. The fire was lit and radiators were on but I still didn't get warm. It wasn't that cold outside but overall it was a good meal and I would go back.

Popped in for a meal as I was stopping in a b&b down the road, the young lady who served me was very nice and looked after me from taking me to my table to bringing me my food and payment, the food was absolutely delicious, I'll definitely call in again if I'm ever up that way

Best Sunday roast that I’ve had in a long time. Extra potatoes and veg were free of charge for hungry eaters. Lovely real log fire, warm atmosphere, super staff and service !

8 of visited this afternoon , the staff were extremely helpful polite & welcoming and the food was delicious!!!! Recommend the gammon ! Will definitely be returning 😃

We are not fans of service charges regardless of the lady who served us explaining to us that it was voluntary. We did again enjoy The Egerton Arms

Lovely country inn. Staff were polite and friendly. Service was proficient. Lacked a little in atmosphere but I think that down to the time of day.

Poor choice of Sunday lunch. Service abysmal.

The pub itself is lovely in a nice countryside setting. it would have been even nicer had the fire been on! Toilets were clean and fresh. I went here for Lunch. Good selection of food and drink and tasted great! I had a dessert and a coffee which I thought was quite pricy. I don’t agree with a service charge being added automatically to your bill it should be the customers choice!! Other than that an enjoyable meal. Will probably return however other pubs in the area offer blue light discount..

Staff went above and beyond to help us celebrate my father's 75th birthday, even joining in with singing 'Happy Birthday'. Food was delicious as always. Many thanks.

Lovely atmosphere Liking Jeremy as well 😀

A good selection of food which covers most bases and tastes. We went on a Sunday, so there was roast beef or chicken as well as pub classics - burgers & fish and chips. There was also a specials board, although we didn't look at it. The food was good and arrived at the right time; not too quickly and not too long a wait. There's a good selection of draught beers to choose from, too.

Amazing food and quality wine 👌 see you soon!

We went for a business Away Day lunch so there was around 30 of us and I cannot express how fantastic the service was!! So smooth, delicious food and we will definitely all be going again!!

Much improved since last visit a few years ago, pre covid. Will be going back.

We went for lunch with family and friends on our traction engine. There was quite a lot of us but our food came quickly and it was hot, freshly cooked and delicious. The staff could not have been more helpful and were really lovely.

Visited with a group of work colleagues, great venue, welcoming environment, tables reserved ready for our arrival. Staff took us over to our table and immediately came over for our drinks order, which was delivered promptly followed by our food order. Food was clearly freshly made and was delicious. Paying individually was not an issue for them either which was a welcome change. Car park is rather small so if you came perhaps on a weekend parking may be a challenge, but don't let this put you off visiting

Went to the doggy friendly venue today lunch time But no dog bowls around..that I could see anyway I was expecting one outside each of the entrances Food was not bad I had 2 starters one was roasted cauliflower which was raw but the sauce was nice I did ask the waitress and she said It was cooked ..maybe it was supposed to be al dente anyway I ate it. My sister said prices are average .She eats out more than me. Anyway Nice fresh clean toilets Staff were pleasant Large car parking area I would come again

I had to ask for cutlery as the table was not reset after the last customer. The drinks we asked for at the beginning took over 10 minutes to arrive and it was not a busy Sunday. The food was nice and the pub is lovely.

Lunch menu, the pie and mash is quite small. Child's portion size, but not child price. Shall have to have another meal after leaving.Good choice of drinks, staff very good.

Good quality pub food with big portions. Beer garden, play area and pool table that kept children entertained. Good service at both bar and table.

Great staff. Lovely food. Big portions. Fantastic for gluten free, providing gluten free meals and also providing a gluten free option of the normal main meals. The GF steak and ale pie is gorgeous. Dogs allowed

Steak delicious and cooked perfectly as were chips and onion rings, deserts poor, and was sad there wasn't really an option for the children. Children seemed tolerated but not really welcome. Felt like a pub to drink in. Very loud staff at bar, literally talking to customer for 15 minutes about jelly, loudly, then 3 different servers 1 was very efficient and lovely other 1 only came for payment helpful enough and other one looked so fed up, dumped cutlery on table felt like she'd rather be with other staff members propping up the bar chatting. In general very dusty and in much need of a deep clean and some tlc as paint flaking off in huge chunks.

I visited for a quick, light lunch on a quiet day. Personal aspects of service were quick and friendly. Food service after ordering was a little slower than expected, but the food when it came was tasty and well presented. I would certainly call in again.

great food, great service and very well priced. would highly recomend. People so friendly nothing to much trouble 5 star.

Just been to modules nite. Excellent food, wine, beer & service. Defo will go again, and again.

Fantastic food great service and lovely place

Only popped in here a quick pint while waiting for a wedding to start, but the place was nice and clean and the staff were very friendly. can't comment on the food as didn't eat

Visited for lunch, we were given a table right next to the gents toilet door, the table was sticky/wet so not cleaned for us. The pizza was good but unfortunately the roast beef Sunday lunch (£16.95) was overall disappointing, good tender beef but sad soggy roast potatoes that had probably sat in the warmer too long, and a tough barely cooked parsnip. To it's credit the menu has gluten free and vegan options. Also note that they add 7.5% service charge to all bills regardless of party size, you have to ask the staff to remove it if you don't want to pay it. We left wishing we had checked out some of the fancier pubs that charged similar prices.

We were visiting the area and visited on day one and the food was amazing so we went back for the next two nights ! We were made very welcome and all the staff were polite and attentive . THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT every single time ,

My goodness. We were travelling from Wales to the peak District and needed a break. We just so happened to stop here and had the best time eating some sharing bowls and playing pool. The staff were super friendly, the food was tasty and I won most of the pool games.

Nice spot,great food,staff and atmosphere, definitely be returning soon !!

Always good food and drink. Nice place to stop and relax for a good variety of beers and spirits. The menu is well designed with food to suit everybody’s tastes.

Poor choice of sandwich/wrap...mature cheddar cheese and red onion, very dry needed some chutney or equivalent , would not recommend it

First time visiting. Staff was lovely and welcoming. No complaints with the service at all. The food was dissapointing for the price. Partner got Sunday dinner roast, The portion size was pretty below average, but hid by and oversized Yorkshire pudding. Im vegetarian and I found the menu to be quite limited. The wasn't even a veggie burger option. Ended up ordering nachos. And for £11.80 got to be some of the most expensive nachos I have ordered! . They were rubbish, had a burnt flavour to top where they were over done, and was given 4 tiny pots of topping that hardly covered any of them. My drink was also filled 3/4 of the way with ice in the glass, so my drink lasted one gulp. With a bill coming to nearly £50 for 1 soft drink (glass of ice) , 1 cider, (small) Sunday dinner and some burnt dry Nachos. It'd £50 we won't be spending here again.

I visited for Sunday lunch with my elderly father. The roast dinner was really tasty, great quality and good value for money. The side dish of vegetables were excellent and the pudding was delicious. The service was wonderful. The staff were attentive, efficient and really pleasant. Nothing was too much trouble. Even the owner was visiting the tables to check that everything was ok. The pub is clean, spacious and comfortable and welcomes everyone. I would definitely recommend this pub to family and friends. Well done 🙌

Staff food service atmosphere brilliant highly recommended owner great lovely setting loads parkingfound by accident but will go again.

Popped in for a spot of lunch to get out of the rain! Pub was warm cosy and decorated beautifully. The staff were attentive and efficient and food arrived very quickly, asked for my bacon extra crispy on my BLT and the chefs did it perfectly! Great selection of local ales on tap too!

I always enjoy eating there. The meat is excellent. We called in today just for a drink. Great staff and atmosphere. The place has a lovely rustic interior.

Worst steak we have had for a long time!! We are regulars and have always returned to the Egerton, one of the main reasons being the quality of the steak. Tonight myself and my partner both ordered the fillet steak and what arrived was what we would describe as watery steak hache! Both the texture and taste were awful. We had a few mouthfuls and left the rest. We are assuming there has been a change in chef / supplier. We usually recommended the egerton to all our friends and family but now we won’t be returning and we will definitely be telling friends and family of our bad experience.

Great meal great service lovely restaurant easy parking highly recommended

Went on my own when away. Great pub. However, barman forgot I was there fir over 15 mins with no service at all, shame. When all sorted the food was really good, fantastic chips!!! The manager took my drink off of the bill which was good. Would go again.

We had a gorgeous meal. Can't stop thinking about the food it was lovely.

I cannot recommend this place over priced average service. Only had drinks but in my opinion overcharged.

Wonderful meal staff were excellent, excellent choices to choose from, easy parking and lovely place to dine out, definitely highly recommended

Booked a table after seeing trip advisors excellence award and 4/5 star reviews. Feel let down and maybe the wrong Egerton arms was reviewed. First impressions lovely cosy settings with comfy seating but odd only a handful of people in. Staff member friendly enough seating us. Small peeve but took are drinks order and automatically gave us ice, didn't ask preference. £7.90 for 2 soft drinks. Opted for pub classic fish n chips. Overpriced at £15.95 when you consider a local chippy would charge approx £7. More disappointed when meal arrived. Fish was on the small side and chips(again small approx 15) were not only cold but rock hard. Family members sweet fries were dark brown and black burnt at edges. At home the end results of those chips and fries would have gone to the food bin. After paying automatically put receipt in pocket like you do. Noticed afterwards they had the audacity to automatically put 7.5% service charge. They do put a little note at the bottom, but seriously! This is totally not acceptable. I drove nearly an hour to visit this place not like I'm going to return the distance to ask for my refund. I work NHS, imagine me ' my 5% pay rise is below the 13.5% inflation therefore for helping save your life I've took it on myself to invoice you a service charge as I feel entitled to skim you for a tip. My review may upset the owners and staff but it's my true opinion, unfortunately my experience will not have me returning.

excellent food with excellent environment

we called in today for a spot of lunch whilst passing through, we have eaten here before but on this occasion we were really disappointed with the food. we sat outside in the beer garden with the weather being so nice, whilst sipping our drinks we decided to look through both the lunch and main menu. my husband decided on the braised ox liver which he said was nice but extremely over priced for what it was. I had the nachos sharing platter, and a ham and cheese sourdough roll with dressed salad, when it arrived I think my face said it all!!! it looked dried up brown seeds roll, not sourdough, I even said to my husband that I think that it had been frozen, couldn't make up my mind as it was over toasted, dry and tasteless, it didn't say on the menu it was toasted, I wouldn't have had it other wise so in the end I started to eat my sharing platter of nachos, well who could say that anyone dosent like nachos, well these were TERRIBLE, a merger amount of cheese, salsa, sour cream, on a what only I can say are the cheapest nachos Aldi sell. I honestly wished that I had taken photos of all the food, especially what I had ordered, terrible ,,,I don't know who came up with that as a sandwich, I don't mind what prices we pay for food as long as its good but honestly, anyone who reads this review please don't waste your hard earned cash in the place, ill never stop while passing again.

Lovely place nice surroundings good food and staff very helpful

Arrived at 7:30pm on bank holiday Sunday to find it was completely empty. Odd because when we have visited on a number of occasions it was always busy. List of things not available. Ordered three Sunday roasts and a steak and ale pie. We’re told that carrot and swede mash had run out so ordered extra veg to replace. Four roasts turned up so one went back for change, and extra veg forgotten. The meat was good, but the potatoes and veg gave the impression they had been lying around for a long period. Roast potatoes were hard, and the Yorkshire was dark brown and tough. Sweets were fine. Not offered coffee so it was requested, to be told the coffee machine had been turned off, so refused! Staff were predominantly young kids who didn’t know what they were doing. A service charge was also added, which frankly was a bit of a cheek! This place used to be very good. We were told the manager who has been there a while, and who kept the place very well, was on holiday. Maybe so, but we’ll avoid this for a good while.

Not like it used to be was looking forward to a nice evening meal with friends the roast was very disappointing charged the same amount with hardly any veg as they had sold out also cold, steak pie with small chip ends and cold mushy peas. Asked for coffees and told machine had been turned off seemed the staff didn’t want to be there. After many years of going will not be going again seems to have lost its mojo

Had Sunday dinner Was seated at a dirty table (didn’t come back to clean) Everything was ok but the potatoes were inedible they tasted like they had been taken From an earlier meal Wouldn’t waste your money

Chap who served me was very friendly and professional, and it’s absolutely beautiful inside and out. The pub, not the chap. Alright the chap as well. Wonderful experience all round

Dreadfull, first of all you get a service charge and you only find that out when you've paid and got your bill 7.1% which in our case came to nearly £6 ,if they warned you of this before you went in they'd probably loose a lot of custom ,right the meal ,ordered 3 meals firstly my stepdaughters ,pepperoni pizza, she had one bite, an left the rest £15 in napkins and then our bin ,my partners meal steak and ale pie with chips ,£15 the pie was just out of a foil case and warmed ,the peas were dry and wrinkled. re heated definitely not fresh ,the chips again re heated ,soggy horrible ,plus a few stragglers of salad ,my meal sirloin steak and chips ,£23 ,the steak was rubbery I've had a £5 steak from tescos better,and again the chips soggy definitely reheated ,when we got home rang and the manager said we do double cook our chips ,absolute drivel ,reheated, he then said email the boss ,we did he replied asking what the problem was ,we told him and now we've just been ignored ,my money doesn't grow on trees ,and with our 1 drink each it came to £78 I nearly hit the deck ,so my advice for anyone visiting this place keep clear and you'll get better value at McDonald's

We have eaten here fairly regularly in the past, but for a number of reasons this was our first visit this year. Monday evening with only a handful of customers. Three items on the menu not available. Our resulting food choice was good. A "discretionary" 7.5% service charge is added to the bill, as mentioned on the menu, on delivery to the table now which goes 'directly to the staff'. I find this approach VERY presumptuous. As a customer it should be I who chooses whether service warrants an addition for the staff, and to what extent, and not have to decide whether a pre selected amount should be reduced or withdrawn!

Great pub and only issue was we found a few hairs in 2 of our courses which was a shame as the food was really nice!
