Ego At The Fox, Haslington in Cheshire East

Very disappointed with the service and delay. Waited over an hour and fifteen minutes for our main course. Won’t be coming here again.

Excellent food service was outstanding by Sylvie and Vicky they would make you want to go back they went above and beyond from opening the door for entry with a double buggy and were so helpful with service and our two year old fell in love with them

This restaurant is great lovely friendly welcoming staff. Good menu lovely food and one of the few restaurants with an extensive gluten free menu. It was lovely to see Lucy at the front of house again she is a star.

Always enjoy a meal at The Fox Lovely food good menu pleasant staff. Excellent GF menu Highly recommend

Extremely disappointed after being sat down at our table to hear there were no roasts - every single other table in the restaurant had a roast, much to our dismay! The website states 'roasts served all day's, terribly upset with our experience. Will not be returning.

Great decor since it's renovation a while ago amazingly friendly staff, good selection of drinks on tap etc. And really nice food, would highly recommend

I arrived ahead of the other members of my table. I was greeted in a friendly and efficient way and asked about dietary requirements and potential allergies. Unfortunately the other two members of our table group were seriously delayed. I wasn’t made to feel uncomfortable or anxious and both the ladies serving engaged with me in a friendly way and offered additional drinks etc. Once my friends arrived, we enjoyed an excellent meal. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Lucy went “the extra mile” to make us feel special and the service was excellent throughout. The quality of the food was outstanding and we’ve already booked for a follow up event.

Service was great, our server, India was lovely!

Excellent food and value for money. I could not fault it.

It’s a nice place, the staff are fun and warm, the food is very good, and well priced, and the place itself is very large with different zones like bar and restaurant etc, I will come again and would recommend a try, If I’m going to be critical, I’d look at the detail, if you serve king prawns that need deshelling give us a side plate, with a finger bowl or a wet wipe. Also we did have to ask for the dessert menu….. Thank You Team.

Excellent customer service from everyone of the staff on duty. Keep up the good work. 👍 🤗 🙏 🌈

Really good birthday experience and fabulous food

Excellent food and great service from lovely staff. Highly recommended.

This is a very classy restaurant and bar with such a relaxing and chilled atmosphere. The lighting is just right and the music is perfectly chosen with the right vibe and at the right volume. The bar area has the cosy feel of a piano bar. It's the perfect place to unwind after a stressful day at work or to eat, drink and relax with friends and family. The floor staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive, they always greet you with a happy smile and a 'hi, how are you?'. Vickie, Manon, Millie, Sam, Callum, Michelle and others always go the extra mile to make sure you are happy and feel like you are a VIP guest. I can't speak highly enough of them, they make this place what it is and make you want to come back again. Service is very prompt and they always remember your name and what you had to drink last time, a small thing but it's the attention to detail that makes you feel valued as a guest. The manager Craig is also very visible, hands-on and attentive and always has time for a conversation even though he must be very busy. Any customer complaints I've seen are dealt with swiftly and resolved in a sympathetic manner. The food is outstanding and delicious. There is a great selection of Mediterranean inspired food, always very tasty and cooked to order and with an open kitchen you can see the chefs at work and the high standards it maintains. There are also some great deals on weekdays too that will save you some money so make sure you get the app! I'm a cask ale drinker and the beer is consistent so the lines are clearly cleaned regularly. For other customers the cocktails seem to be very popular and it never ceases to amaze me how every member of the bar team can remember all the ingredients of the various cocktails on offer. Its like watching Tom Cruise shaking the cocktail mixer! I would highly recommend this restaurant and bar, it's become my 'go to' destination for great food, drinks and relaxation. I came in for a one off drink a while ago and ended up a regular. It's like being in your favourite hotel bar on holiday! I nickname it 'The Lobster Pot' because once you get in it, you can't get out of it! I love this place :)

Lovely food, lovely setting and decor. Staff are all so welcoming and kind- what a wonderful team of people!

Had the most lovely evening, I arrived early but made to feel very welcome and looked after whilst waiting in the lovely bar area. We went on steak night and it certainly did not disappoint. The food was beautiful and the steak cooked to perfection. The staff were frequently and attentive when needed. I will definitely be going again soon!!

This is our first visit to this lovely restaurant, but it won't be the last. The staff are so lovely and friendly. We had afternoon tea, so delicious, the other lunches we noticed looked lovely too. Thank you xxx

Lovely service from Esme. Very polite and efficient

We were served(looked after) by Nell and had a great time

Excellent in every way. Lovely evening.

Wonderful food as usual. Staff are all professional and pleasant. Comfortable atmosphere.

I had sea bass (lactose free) but it was very greasy with the chorizo sausage, also my friend had cod and that hers was greasy. The staff were very attentive to our needs

Had a lovely lunch and a few cocktails with my sister on a rare day off good atmosphere and lovely staff had a great time thanks

Lovely food served by friendly and attentive staff. The main meal took a bit longer than expected, which meant we didn't have time for dessert before heading off to our show, but the wait was worth it for the quality

Really enjoyed the latest visit. Comfortable atmosphere, good service, great food. All at a good price being their Monday specials deal of starter and main for £20.95. Fast becoming my favourite restaurant in Crewe area.

Amazing food and great service, I would however like to be given the option not to sit in a dog friendly area. There was no mention of our table being in that area or i would have asked for a different one.

Great service, lovely staff, very accommodating for a booking of 12 people, definitely recommend for large parties

Having been many times both as a couple and bringing family. We were both very disappointed. We both had a Sunday dinner. The food was barely warm. Cold plates and some veg was almost raw. The roast potatoes were dried out and looked more like boiled. For pud I had the rhubarb and ginger crumble which was hot in places with only a tiny portion of cold custard. Service was slow although they weren’t busy. On the plus - The serving staff were very nice. What has happened ??

Absolutely first class meal at an amazing price!!

Thank you so much to everybody involved in making the surprise Golden Wedding Party a great occasion!!! Vickie and the team were fabulous and all 41 people attending thoroughly enjoyed the venue, food and atmosphere.

I'd like to say thank you to the great Ego team for a great meal and for there great friendly service and I'll soon see you again.

I has a fantastic evening with friends. The food was tasty and well presented. The service excellent.

Very tasty Lemon Chicken Milanese and crumble. Great service.

Lovely food & staff are lovely. Especially milly who served us.

I must confess I was very dubious about going back to Ego after several years and having giving them several opportunities to get the food right. A good friend of mind recent had surgery and did not want to venture far so I booked here. I called in advance and expressed my concerns with Michelle who assured me that we would be looked after. We got there and it was very busy for a Thursday afternoon. They were hosting an event. Despite this Vicki and her team were exceptional with making a fuss and ensuring they met all our needs. The sandwiches were very fresh. I would have preferred our scones warm but there are a few places that don’t serve them warm anymore. I was too full for the cakes but my friend said they were lovely and she took home a little takeaway of the rest. Thanks for making her first outing so special xx Will definitely try them again.

well !!!! what a disappointment !!! We go to this place often, food is always adequate, never outstanding but ok. last night we went for our evening meal it will be our last meal at Ego Firstly our drinks I ordered lime and lemonade , when it arrived it was lime and soda so had to be changed. husband had a pint which was good. Starters Gambas pil pil = good Garlic mushrooms = the mushrooms were woody and inedible , these were changed for chicken pate which arrived after my husband had finished his starter, infact at this point we nearly walked out because the time taken was rather lengthy. The mains Roast beef dinner= the plate was stone cold, the yorkshire pudding was swimming in grease, the plate was swimming in gravy with an added jug of gravy in the middle of the plate. there were hard woody lumps in the braised red cabbage the beef was so tough it was once again inedible, this was returned and the chicken ordered which eventually arrived. I ordered the chicken dinner which arrived on a plate that was so hot I almost burnt my fingers moving it, the dinner itself comprised of 2 tough "roast potatoes" 2 " roast carrots " and 2 "roast parsnips" a small dolop of braised red cabbage arrived swimming in gravy and once again with a jug of gravy in the middle of the meal, at this point i would like to state that this was BEEF gravy on a chicken dinner. The whole meal was an utter disappointment, i'm a great believer in that I go out for a meal I expect something that I wouldn't be able to cook at home or would be much Superior to a home cooked meal, this meal was no discount was offered, we paid our bill and left , we will not be returning.

Food was only just warm. Nice but way too cool. Has rhubarb and ginger crumble for pud. Again cool and only a tiny portion of custard.

The service today wasn't bad, but the food was pretty bad. Generally, it wasn't hot enough and the beef wasn't tender and didn't like it at all. It probably needed cooking for longer. We expressed our discontent to the management and walked out without paying.

Having just worked for 3 weeks in Crewe this was the best place we went for dinner. 7 nights out of 12. A friendly greeting on arrival, Excellent options for starters, mains and pudding. The staff are great and provide great service. Will definitely be back when working there again.

Food was great and reasonably priced.

Served by leah , really professional and lovely service

We were really looking forward to a nice meal out with freinds. My husband ordered a round of drinks which didn't arrive after half an hour, they hadn't even been put through to the bar!! There was a live singer on, he really wasn't very good and it was made worse by how loud he was. We couldn't hear each other talking because of it!!

We booked a table for 3:30. No problem. On arrival, restaurant was very quiet. Ordered drinks, they came , then the waitress brought a glass of blackcurrant and water over, I explained, sorry not ours. She insisted that it was ordered by our table….I said again, sorry not ours! We ordered our food. I then asked the waitress for another pint of Black Sheep….. it never arrived!!!! At that point I noted that Staff were standing around and chatting. Definitely not busy!!!! Our food came in decent time, and it was very good!! The Sea Bass was excellent and the wife’s steak done how she likes it! After our mains the waitress asked if the food was okay? We said yes, it was lovely! She asked if we’d like to see the sweet menu, to which we said, give us 5 minutes and we’ll have a look. 20 minutes later, we gave up. No sweet menu, we sat with empty drink glasses, staff were chatting and leaning on the side of the serving hatch! I felt like standing up and clapping my hands, and shouting, will you please get a grip, we are customers and should be given some attention!!! I wish I had!!! We paid our £48, which would have been a lot more, but sadly apathy rules at Ego Haslington !! By the way, we have eaten at Ego, Stockton Heath several times, and the service there has always been exceptional. Perhaps because in Stockton Heath, there’s a lot of competition, meaning that they need to be on top of their game! Appears not so in Ego Haslington!!! So to summarise, Food excellent ,5 ⭐️ Service awful! 0 ⭐️ If I was to use Ego again I’ll do a round trip of 70 miles, to Stockton Heath , rather than go to Ego Haslington!

We were served by Milly and had a lovely meal!

Couple of visits last week to Ego Once more warm welcome lovely venue and great food. Highly recommend the Tuesday steak night The sirloin was melt in the mouth

Amazing food, along with good music is the background at just the right volume to still enjoy conversation. Staff were friendly

Excellent tasty food, good pint of Black Sheep, lovely setting and friendly staff.

Good choice for people with coeliac disease. Special offer made our experience good. Rohan our server was lovely, very polite and efficient. On this visit our food took along time to come and wasn't as tasty as usual. We both had the peri peri chicken and chorizo with me substituting the pita bread for fries.

Leah was great and really attentive! We had a lovely meal here thank you!

Had a great meal, the food was amazing and the service was great, thanks to our server India. We will definetly be back.

Great food and staff service was quick meal deal was good as well

I went for lunch here today and it was wonderful.. the food was delightful and the service from Milly was great.. super friendly and helpful

We used a birthday voucher- buy one get one free. Excellent value. India was a great server and very attentive. We had halloumi and Chorizo screwers for starters and can thoroughly recommend them. Steaks were perfect. Only downside is the place is really in need of a refurbishment

Excellent service food very good. Had the Wednesday offer 2 course 2 people for £30 plus £10 for wine this was a very good saving and will do it.

Managers social evening event, the food was pre-booked and it didn't disappoint, the whole party of 14 people all said what lovely food it was, served on time, hot and cooked to perfection, credit to the chef and staff, we all had a lovely time and will definitely be returning.

Came in for sunday dinner with my family. From the minute we sat service was excellent by our server Milly, super efficient and smiley . Credit to the Chefs as the food was supberb!! We opted for the 2 cource sunday menu went straight to mains and had desert brilliant value.

Amazing decor a warm feel with friendly staff Everyone smiles here that’s rare these days. Got a table by the open kitchen it’s great to see food being made. Fantastic kitchen team running like clock work. Our server was LUCY who had a great introduction She was so bubbly and super efficient. In my opinion she’s an asset to the company. Being a strong member of staff great with guests she’s going places. The staters arrived wow it was amazing the flavour was intensely packed making the perfect dish. The mains were incredible.The lamb was amazing and fell apart. Hat off to the chefs. Deserts were good too love a sweet treat. Ego definitely have something right here and hope nothing changes. Well done all

The Fox in Haslington is by far the best Ego we have visited, the team are exceptionally friendly and the feed is always a consistent and excellent quality. Last night was no exception to the quality and service we have come to expect from this venue with the food quality being excellent and the service provided by Lucy our server fantastic.

Great food and drink . Good value Great service

A few months back now we came! But it was a wonderful experience! I love Ego at Stockton Brook but thought I’d try another!! And I wasn’t disappointed! Food was beautiful and the service was great! It was fairly steady for a Sunday afternoon/evening but it was an enjoyable atmosphere! Met Sammie and had a lovely little conversation with her! The team are amazing. We got a full view of the kitchen and they worked like a dream! Was so refreshing to see!

Never been here before, pleasantly suprised with the aesthetics inside quite fancy wasn't expecting it. So much on the menu looked amazing but went for the halloumi with chilli glaze for appetiser and Moroccan lamb for main. Friend had garlic bread with tomato for start and duo of pork. Served beautifully. Amazing flavour, definitely enough food. No issue with time between service. There was a slight issue with my food however this was sorted very well with the staff who were all lovely. And omg the dessert, 100/10 warm triple chocolate brownie with ice cream softer than ever Absolutely would recommend anyone to come here, I will be back to try the pasta dish in future :) (for those who care like me - the toilets were lovely and clean and also very spacious)

Absolutely rubbish never again went at 4:30 and ordered seemed nice at the start untill we had beem there for an hour and a half and we had only eaten starters we asked for the wait time and told us about 5 minutes, after 10 minutes food final came after finishing we ordered dessert, 20 minutes we had waited and only 3 desserts had come we had ordered 8 and after waiting 25 minutes they then told us they had no brownies, NO BROWNIES what was the point of us waiting there why were we not told before we waited 25 minutes ridiculous and potatoes were raw beans were hard definitely NOT going back

Booked afternoon tea with my wife, all I can say is it was ok!

The lamb tagine dish was amazing. Great food and service

Love this place, great atmosphere, nicely interior, the food is lovely and staff are friendly and service is spot on.

Great Staff and a special thank you to the Chef and entourage for such Amazing Food .Chicken Piri Piri Hanging Kebab,Lemon Chicken Milanese .Awesome.

To get the 5star experience I get see vickie (the girl/lady with the multi coloured hair, normally pink, purple or both) she never fails to deliver on all of the above.

Just got in from a family meal for 15 of us at the Fox. We were seated in the main resteraunt and requested to move to the conservation to be closer to the children playing in the garden. No problem they quickly set up the conservatory for us. The food was absolutely delicious. Staff could not have been any nicer or more accomodating. Absolutely deserve 5 stars. Thank you so much to all the staff at The Fox Haslington highly recommended.

Right from the start the staff were brilliant, especially as we had someone who suffers with food allergies, we were well looked after by Rohan who was very efficient. All the food was excellent and with plenty of choice. We’ll definitely be back.

We had a lovely meal this evening. Callum looked after us and was excellent at recommending dishes off the menu when we couldn’t decide. Perfect recommendations. Thanks Callum and thanks Ego. Great food and great service .

Superb food and atmosphere, they really do a great Sunday roast. Highly recommended.

Lovely food, friendly staff and absolutely fantastic Friday evening entertainment!

Good food, reasonable price excellent service and clean and comfortable dining room.

Fantastic experience, amazing staff. Keep doing what you're doing because it's brilliant.

Had an amazing meal here. Service was lovely & quick! Plenty of choice for food & drink. & the food tasted amazing! Will definitely be returning

Lovely pub and a very varied menu, the food was all very nice but the service was appalling, and before we had even lodged a complaint they had halved the bill, which seemed fair

Had a lovely evening meal was nice and quiet

Food was great, service was awful, been many times, will not be going back, went for a quick late lunch with friends, took over 3hours for 3 courses, lots of staff but know one doing anything

It's been a few years since I ventured into what used to be called The Fox in Haslington, however I have to say the food and staff were simply outstanding.

We arrived just before our time of 19.00hrs, 7 in the party. 40 minutes later the waitress decided to come and ask if we would like any drinks, we replied yes we would and can we order our at the same time. Food and drinks ordered. Drinks arrive then the starters and children's pizza, which turned out to be adult pizza's and one had peppers on which were not ordered. Very poor show for this meal, been better of going the Station Pilot for cheap food

Lovely well priced food in a lovely setting . Manager helped with a booking oversight . All staff ready to help and advise would give more than 5 stars if possible

Food was tasty Quick service Lovely decor

Came her for my partner birthday meal. Best meal I’ve had in a long time. Staff were so nice and friendly. Help us with everything, made sure we had room for our pram. There was 11 of us so had to pre order and they got it spot on. Would definitely go back.

Daylight robbery! £18 for 7 small pieces of chicken on a kebab? The manager on duty was absolutely disgusting, huffing and puffing because I didn’t think this was good value for money, I have now got a new career selling small pieces of chicken for an over inflated price, anyone fancy 7 small pieces for near on £20 I’ll deliver! You really need to drop your ego!!!

The few times we have visited over winter we have found it to be quite cold! Looking around, quite a few people are sat with coats on. Love the food though 😋

£4.65 for a pint of pepsi max. Correct that and you'll have 5 stars

Super afternoon meal. Could not really fault it.

Bit pricey 80 pound for two courses and one soft drink each

Could not fault the food or service but the person who showed us to our table and the same person who we paid the bill to really needs to be more welcoming and have a bit more patience when dealing with elderly people and not show such arrogance.

Great food, great choice and great service. Free parking too if you can find a space.

Nothing wrong but nothing special either. Would eat there again.

Pork was dry and wine by the glass was very expensive. Portion size was good.

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Food is delicious, service is fast even when it's busy, the staff are really friendly, and the price isn't too bad at all for the quality and portion sizes!

Great experience Good value too!

Fabulous bargain mid week lunch. They have a discounted lunch menu. Some of the wraps are only £5

I do like Ego especially when they have one of their steak night offers on. Service is always very good. Food is value for money. Upgraded to 5 stars since my last visit *last night - 50% off main courses - great steak, great service. Free Carparking. Not fond of the "Ed Sheeran" playalike but that's just my musical taste (which is a bit more raw) and doesn't reflect on the place as a whole.

Had a brilliant NewYear’s Eve meal at Ego in Hasslington, delicious food and lovely attentive staff, the only reason I could only give 3 stars for atmosphere was because the DJ was so poor- he played really dated music instead of a good mix of classic dance tracks and good songs and unbelievably didn’t make anything of the build up to midnight- I’m not joking - he did nothing at all to mark the new year, the main event and the reason we were all there! No getting the celebratory atmosphere going by calling everyone together around the bar to get ready with blowers or poppers, absolutely no countdown at all, so no atmosphere built up with the crowd in readiness- such a huge disappointment for the key moment! At 20 seconds to go we realised he wasn’t going to mark the changing year at all so we obviously got our gang together and did our own cheer but unbelievable to hold a new year event and not make anything of new year at all for your guests - for goodness sake who was in charge of the plan to mark and celebrate the New Year? We made our own celebrations of course so people around us then realised it was midnight and only then did the DJ say belatedly ‘happy new year’ what a shame as the food and staff were brilliant and very good value and we’ll certainly go again for meals but we’d only go at new year again if we were guaranteed a proper countdown and good music for the main event - the New Year!

We came here for NYE having not visited before, although know people who have and we have been to another Ego. Had an excellent night! Food was amazing. The service was exceptional, all the staff worked so hard and were all so friendly. It was lovely to see them all come together just before midnight! It was a great atmosphere without being over crowded. Loved the singer and the music. We will definitely return for a 'normal' night out and certainly return for NY 🥳

My first visit here and I was not disappointed. I was really surprised to find out that there was a whole vegan menu, and the choice was huge. I'm not used to having that much choice! I had the courgette fritters and then the tart for dessert, both were really nice. The service was amazing, staff very attentive and the place has a lovely atmosphere. Also I thought that the prices were pretty good too. I will return to try the other dishes.

Good choice of food, good service, I prefer my potatoes cooked longer but each to their own
