Leigh Arms in Cheshire West and Chester

We have been regulars at the Leigh Arms for many years, visiting sometimes in the evenings, and also at lunchtimes. But then the pandemic struck. This is only the second occasion we have been for lunch in the last fortnight, and, the food was as usual excellent, so was the service. They are very well organised, a lot of thought has gone into the social distancing aspect, and the staff are friendly and very willing to point out how they will serve you. If the weather is suitable, the outside seating area is very good, but dining is available inside too. Well done Leigh Arms, I can thoroughly recommend it

Excellent restaurant, treated by my aunty and uncle who lucky for them live not far from here. It is one of their favourites and I can see why. Food is all fresh and home made, good value, the meat in the pies just so much of and melts in your mouth, portions are generous and wine is first notch, staff very caring and attentive to needs and wants. Would return without hesitation. Lovely location too with the canal nearby. Perfect for a summer evening.

Greeted at the door and asked to sign in, covid rules explained by a nice member of the team.We were seated outside and received table service throughout our stay. The staff were all busy but we never waited long for refills. We didn’t dine this time but have done in the past and the foods always been good.Great work at a great pub!!!

Great food, good IPA beers, friendly staff. A real gem of a find. Top marks. Thanks for your kind and understanding welcome

What a great pub! Excellent COVID system We were greeted at the door and was asked to either track and trace using the app or give our details. We then picked our table outside and we had waitress’s/waiter service. Beer and gin was perfect! The food was outstanding. I personally thought the steak pie was amazing. It was not tasteless- (as the previous review mentioned). The staff worked very hard to make sure things was running smoothly. The tall man just not seem to stop!!! Thank you everyone for a lovely evening.

We were so excited to return to our favourite place to eat a pub lunch. All covid rules were followed, very pleasant staff, an excellent pint of Unicorn beer, BUT, the food was not good at all! Very disappointing. The steak and ale pie was disgusting. It was tasteless, lacking any gravy, the meat consistency was like slop. Totally inedible. We did tell the waitress, and she could see that I had left most of it. The steak sandwich was alright but had a lot of fat on it. What was supposed to be a celebration of being able to eat out again was very disappointing. It will be some time before we return

Visited last week with my wife and we were seated next to a noisy banging door. When we asked if anything could be done about it we were told bu our waitress in an unintrested and uncaring manner No.Unable to tolerate the constant noise we moved tables but were then harassed by the waitress, we had complained to who kept staring at us and singing near us.(she should have known that singing is not allowed due to the spread of Covid).Eventually we felt we had no choice but to leave Wont be going back.

We came here after a lovely walk along the river and the canal. The staff are really friendly and the food fresh and tasty. Good quality food served hot. They are very generous portions. My mum's meal was boxed up to take the rest home. The place feels very safe and well run. A real gem. I've been twice in the last 3 weeks and can't believe I've not been before now. They have an outside gazebo which I used last time after a muddy walk so I could sit outside with none household members. Keep up the good work guys.

We were on a barge trip on the Bridgewater canal and stopped for the night within about a ten minute walk to the Leigh Arms. The food/service/drink was all excellant the staff were very friendly and it was no problem sorting something plain for my Mrs, she is quite a fussy eater and didn't find anything on the menu that suited her. The rest of us all had great food from their very good menu. This pub was so good that we stopped on our return to eat here again, would highly recommend.

We come here regularly when passing on our boat. We've been coming for almost 8 years and it hasn't changed. The food is always consistently good an portions are generous. Jo runs this place like a well oiled machine, her team are happy and efficient. Since covid measures came in there's been no change to the excellent service that we receive and all covid measures are in place and again clear and well organised. It's a great area for walking so it gets incredibly busy but they always do their best to accommodate you. I can't recommend it enough

Good pub food. Somehow managed to squeeze in 3 courses. Good, well cooked food. Friendly helpful staff. They have made a real effort to ensure you feel ‘COVID safe’. Would definitely recommend eating here.

Since things have re opened we`ve been eating out a lot, mainly in pubs and I`ve got to say that the Leigh Arms has got to be one of the safest and well organised pubs that we`ve been in.I found it impossible to make a telephone booking ( which I later found out was due to the fact that they are so busy ! ) so I emailed instead, which was answered within 30 mins.Upon arrival, you have to wait at a small reception area, where your details are checked for check and trace and you are then shown to your table. Hand sanitiser everywhere and the one way system in the pub is clearly marked, plus no orders at all taken at the bar. ( this was before the new rules came in )The pub and beer garden was heaving, but the organisation and speed at which the staff were taking orders was very impressive. Plus despite the staff being rushed off their feet, they all remained polite and friendly, all under the watchful eye of a lady who assumed was the manager.We had a mix of Sunday lunches ( excellent value ) and one of party had the mixed bean veggie stew ( he`s a veggie ) . All of the food arrived piping hot and was delicious.All in all we had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Leigh Arms. We`ve been quite a few times in the past and despite all the restrictions and the difficulties that they bring for the staff, this was without doubt our most enjoyable.A big thanks from everyone at this end for making our lunch so enjoyable.

Had a great time at The Leigh Arms this evening. We were greeted and made to feel very welcome at the entrance, even though we had our dog with us.Covid procedures were fully explained and we had to leave our contact details.We chose an outside table and the outside area was almost full at 5.30pm. Get there early! The menu is standard pub fayre but the ham and eggs were amazing. Wish I knew where they get their piccalilli from!Felt guilty that we didnt leave a tip but we have given up carrying cash. Will leave you a double one next time guys.Thank you.

It was my mother's birthday and she wanted a meal not featured on the menu... but after explaining the situation, the charming waitress liaised with the chef and he was happy to prepare her favourite dish. Outstanding, prompt and very efficient service from the team of charming waiters / waitresses. Exceptional performance and hats off to the chef! Massive thanks to all concerned. Can't wait to return...

Popped into the Leigh Arms for our dinner last night, we booked at the last minute and were glad we did. The food was lovely and pipping hot and nicely presented. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the surrounding are very pleasant. But beware the desserts are just too nice.

Great food, fabulous value for money, freshly prepared and a very safe and welcoming atmosphere. 1st visit to a pub since lock-down and pleasantly surprised. Would recommend booking in advance

We visited the Leigh Arms a lot before lockdown.This was our first visit since it reopened after the lockdown. The food and service was as good as it always is on our recent visit. The set up of the pub with all of the new measures is brilliant. This is as safe as I have felt apart from being at home. The staff are a credit to the business and the amount of effort that has gone in to getting this place ‘Covid secure’ is very noticeable. I had the chicken and bacon salad (photo attached), it was wonderful. Can’t wait to visit again. Make sure you visit and try out this fantastic establishment and support a business that is doing its best to keep customers and staff safe! Keep up the great work xx

Just read the previous review. We felt very safe at the Leigh arms. Yes that did not where face masks however, the layout was fantastic. The staff made sure everywhere was clean and to be honest we did not feel they need a face mask. The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

We visited the leigh Arms last Friday evening and was not impressed as first they had lost the booking, second did not ask us to sign the form when we paid the bill we told the waiter we hadn't signed the book eventually we did and thirdly to my horror non of the staff had face masks on or face shields. I asked one of the waiters and he said they didn't have to wear them, this to me is not good enough as they are in contact with the public and who knows who's got the coroavirus or carrying it they are spreading germs to the customers will not be returning.

I had a lovely welcome when I arrived, I was meeting my daughter there, everywhere was spotlessly clean, staff were very welcoming and friendly.I ordered the steak and stilton pie which came with beautifully cooked veg and chips was really big portion but delicious. My daughter had the fish and chips the fish was also huge, neither of us could finish although we gave it a good try as both were beautifully cooked. This was only my second visit to the Leigh arms, first time was last year, it felt a very safe place to be at this time, I would definitely recommend the Leigh Arms.

Fantastic food and customer service. The staff are all very well trained - service was always with a smile. We sat in the bar area and the food we had was lovely! Even better with the eat out to help out scheme.

Called on on the off chance. We had a lovely welcome everywhere was spotlessly clean, it has lovely decoration and it’s a nice place to sit. We ordered the steak and ale pie which was amazing really big portions my daughter had the gammon steak which she agrees was very tasty. I would highly recommend the Leigh Arms and it is now on our list of places on our regular eats

With the current situation the leigh arms is still a welcoming friendly and fast service food and drink establishment. I went with my mum in law and 10 month baby and there were clear one way system markings. The food was excellent, very accommodating to warming the food we had brought for the baby. We were also lucky enough to have such good weather allowing us to take the baby out onto the swings. There were other play areas for older kids so will definitely be dining here again.

I live in barnton but love a walk along the river and the Leigh Arms the half way point before We make our way home along the canal. I’m delighted this place is back open makes the walk the best part. I’m too a GM of a large pub chain and I’m delighted in the customer service and procedures in this place. The safety aspects are second to none whilst remaining being a great pub. The service outside was outstanding with and exterior service point and food and drinks beings brought to your table. WELL DONE LEIGH ARMS ITS GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK

We've been to the Leigh Arms several times before and always had excellent food from great staff. This was our first family meal out since lockdown was eased but other reviewers have mentioned how well they're managing the Covid-19 arrangements so no point in going over those again. We had three adult's and two children's meals: steak and ale pies and steak and stilton pie plus baked potato and fish and chips respectively. The pies were outstanding with the steak cooked to perfection and good selection of vegetables. The fish was cooked to order and had lovely crisp batter. There's not much you can get wrong with a baked potato but it was also freshly done and all portions were on the generous side. We had a range of desserts all of which were very good, with the triple choc cheesecake of the day a particular favourite. Great food and great staff here. Very highly recommended

Absolutely amazing food & great service. Steak & stilton pie delicious the pie full of steak , with a generous portion of perfectly cooked veg & chips. Kids loved the puddings . Staff are always friendly.

Decided to try the curry of the day which was Chicken Balti. It was completely tasteless.Like a jar from the supermarket but without even adding a few extras. No fresh ingredients tasted whatsoever. Thought we would give it some business after the lockdown, but now wish I'd taken it somewhere else.

Today was the first night open at the Leigh Arms. The restaurant was well organised for social distancing and sanitiser etc. Staff were lovely and went out their way to make us feel welcome. Absolutely yummy Steak & Stilton Pie and really have to give the bartender kudos for making me a Caesar.

This was our first visit out after lock down - we certainly chose the right place! The layout and information provided was brilliant and I felt very comfortable and safe throughout my visit. The staff were very helpful and also doing their absolute best in a very difficult time. The food... WOW WOW WOW! The whole menu sounds delightful, from the 4 things that we chose they were all fabulous. We can't wait to come back to try some of the other items on the menu. We are also looking forward to some better weather and being able to enjoy a pint in the beer garden which has clearly been well looked after even whilst they were shut. This was the best experience and food that I can remember from a meal out. Keep up the great work!

This being our first and only visit to the Leigh Arms - food was awful served cold, equally matched by poor service - young waitress more interested in having a good time with the bar staff and other male colleagues rather than focusing on the dissatisfied customers. Very poor visit and will not be back.

From the soup to the mains... just “Awful”Starters were advertised as.. “Leak & Potato” Soup.....What we actually ate was more of a ground down potato soup.Unfortunately; ‘tasteless’...and did I mention the defrosted cardboard baguette slice to accompany it?Mains were definitely; no better. x 1 Hot tuna melt on the same type of plastic baguette; with defrosted chips; and;x 1 Grilled Fish; with boiled potatoes and veg.Putting it politely; we left half our mains; paid and left.Look; If you’re going to charge top tier rates; then it’s only natural to expect top tier ingredients!Try that mix; and it just maybe a ‘aha’ type of experience for you; and a ‘Mmm..’ type of experience for paying customers like us...

Visited the Leigh Arms for lunch today and had a fun time with Family. The Thai Chicken Kebabs were fantastic, really tasty and not too spicy. Also the bonus is that the pub is a Robinson’s and the Beer was excellent.

Ate in this pub during the early evening of Sat 8th Feb - was really good experience. We were shown to a table in the pub immediately and order was taken for drinks and menu's given to us. Ordered food and it arrived piping hot within 10 minutes. The chips were especially good and the deep fried halumi was so yummy. Found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The cost of the meal was very reasonable too. Lovely old pub.

Luke warm tuna and cheese baguette melt. Probably cooked in the morning if not days before and defrosted for me. Poor attempt. Oven chips soooo dry like eating cardboard. Will seek elsewhere in future.

Went for an early dinner and were one of the first to arrive at the restaurant. The place felt cold as the heating had not been turned on, we turned on some of the radiators but it took a while to warm up and did so when more people arrived. The service was good and food portions were generous.

Beautiful pub, beautiful surroundings, and beautiful food, lovely staff, will definitely be returning to try sunday lunch

Even in the busiest dining times, this place doesn't fail to serve hot fresh food. Really good service and friendly staff. Good value and no long queues, as its efficiently run. Very impressed.

We've visited Leigh arms many times with our walking groups or friends but will think twice now after the bad attitude of 1 staff member today. 14 of us visited and bought drinks, 1 bar staff member was particularly and consistently rude to several of our members but we didn't realise till we sat down that we'd all had same disgruntled attitude as if it was inconvient that customers had wanted to be served. We wanted to stay and eat lunch as we've visited before and hoped we'd have a different waitress- the pub was very busy but it's worth a wait usually. However we where met with disdain that we didn't know our table number and wanted to eat outside, a lot of huffing & puffing and told 45minute wait for food. To be fair her attitude sealed the deal and you probably lost a couple of hundred quid takings today as we chose to dine elsewhere.Charging £2.40 for an instant decaf coffee in a tiny cup whilst sneering at customers is also not a good look. With 1000 members in our group - mostly local to Cheshire its not a good idea to be rude to customers as we will note it and as a pub that supplies local walking maps it's surprising, maybe it wasn't just our group but everyone got served badly that day- even her colleagues looked embarrassed. Its a shame when people choose a job that doesn't suit their skills or personality or let other things affect their professionalism.

My wife and I left the kids and done the nearby walk along the river finishing at the Leigh Arms. The main pub area was full of people and well behaved dogs with a further 2 areas just for people. We had a couple of drinks and a snack. Lovely spot and the coffee was lovely. I didn’t eat but the food looked really nice. Will be heading back soon.

Andy the chef is amazing! Me being a picky vegan, and settling for chips and salad, he came over to our table and offered to make me a lovely meal, which I accepted...it was absolutely perfect, I honestly can't say how much I enjoyed it. So with a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and the best food you could wish for, all I can say is if you are in the area, pop in and experience it for yourself...if you are vegetarian or vegan, you will be in for a treat.

First time at the Leigh Arms after a breezy walk along the River Weaver. Bar and dining staff very friendly and happy. Turkey roast dinner followed by a Leigh Arms mess with wild berries was delicious as was the beef roast and apple crumble. Very well priced at £9.95 for the roast. We will definitely be back, well recommended.

Good food as always, pleasant surroundings and excellent staff.Have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed.

Really friendly staff, great food at a fair price, Dizzy Blonde on tap, dog treats and dog friendly, lovely refurbishment and melt in your mouth lamb. Went back today (Tuesday) for stake and stilton pie and that was outstanding. Did I mention the lamb...

Went with five friends today to celebrate a 70th birthday and we chose the fish and chips from the children’s menu because we have smaller appetites. There was no problem. The fish was absolutely beautiful too.

Lovely pub grub in a lovely venue, staff were friendly and attentive, particularly John. Would recommend.

Celebrating a graduation, four of us with our pooch, was made easy, stress free and definitely highly recommended by the staff at The Leigh Arms. Having previously rang to check that our pooch was welcome - if we were eating - yes, no problem, just ask for Andy. We felt very welcome and a table had been reserved for us in the dog friendly area. The food was presented beautifully, was very tasty and the portions were more than enough. The water bowl was refilled by staff whilst we were there - small but important touch - 10/10 from Millie for this welcome detail. A few other dogs there too but all well behaved. Would definitely visit again, if we find ourselves in the area. Well done and thank you.

A big thank you to the staff and management for a fantastic evening. The food was sublime,the staff were amazing and the band were brilliant. It was a perfect way to celebrate a very big birthday.

Recently visit for a birthday celebration - food was really good but made it extra special was the service from the staff, nothing was too much trouble. Everyone in the group really enjoyed it and we will definitely be back

Great pub great re furb decent local pub . Big portions . Great value . Try the Sunday roast Well worth a visit

On a recommendation we visited the excellent Leigh Arms Steam Party held annually in the Car park, there are a wide selection of vintage steam traction engines, old cars, bikes and even steam boats on the adjacent canal. Nearby is the Anderton Boat Lift which I've been meaning to see for years and was far more interesting than we expected. We had a lunch in the Leigh Arms and was most impressed, service was really quick and the food was plentiful (we couldnt finish!) and very tasty - quite the best I've had I reckon. Thoroughly recommended.

Went to a birthday meal tonight the pub was very busy with the steam party but the food was fantastic the waiter and waitresses were very busy but always had time for us would recommend this pub for the food thank you its was superb

We have been so pleased with the food and excellent service we visited twice this week .

Turned up last Saturday for a quick lunch to find a 45 min wait for food. It wasn’t even busy. I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich with mayo. Sandwich came with no ham. Bit into an inch thick of butter and mayo and almost heaved. Had to scrape it all off it was disgusting. Bread didn’t seem fresh either. How can you get something so simple so wrong. Waitress was hopeless. Wasn’t bothered in the slightest.

I thought I’d visit with my kids. We have allergies & I asked if they could check if their mayo had dairy in. First they assumed that included egg! That error aside I asked if I could have a quick chat with the chef to clarify. The amount of time the chef took to tell the staff member he was too busy, I could have spoken to him & resolved my query, but I was told “he was too busy”. I figured if he’s too busy to discuss my allergies (when it wasn’t that busy) they most likely wouldn’t put too much care in ensuring it was actually safe to eat. So we left, not worth the risk & if they don’t have time for paying customers then I don’t have time to eat there. Big thumbs down having a gluten free menu isn’t really enough.

We've been regular visitors here over the years and it never fails to please. Friendly service, excellent freshly cooked food and plenty of it. It does get busy so be prepared to wait but its worth it. There's a low turnover in staff as Jo obviously looks after them.

We had a great lunch- very generous portion sizes, and good friendly service. Highly recommend the ham egg and chips

Nice meal, reasonably priced, served quickly, staff friendly, always busy but a nice pub and atmosphere. Ideally placed if you are out walking in the area, dogs are welcome in certain areas of the pub too. Recommended.

Lovely lunch time meal with family. This pub is ideal in summer when you have small children as there’s an outside play area. Lovely friendly staff. Home cooked food at reasonable prices.

Nicely decorated pub/restaurant. Dog friendly. Service was abrupt and menu overpriced for frozen food!!

Went here following a recommendation from a friend. Wasn’t disappointed. Very good food and tastefully decorated.

A quick stop on my travels , big smile and fast service at the bar , followed by lots of attention for my dog . Loads of outside seating , I will make a point of stopping again .

Went for a birthday treat today, 4 adults and 4 children. The food was delicious, we had the gorgeous roast dinners (some had lamb, some beef and one veggie roast pepper and goats cheese). All plates were cleared - delicious home cooked food in a lovely environment with friendly staff. Added bonus of a fantastic garden with children's play area.

The location of this pub could not be better, literally on the canal side close to the bridge and watchmans house. It is a lovely place to sit outside of on a summers day. They really have done a lovely job of refurbing the interior which opens out onto the garden area. There is a well thought out playground for the kids to be entertained. The only quip I would have is that they stop serving food early on a Sunday.

Wonderful to return to the Leigh Arms after a couple of years. It has had a total makeover and the pub and gardens look and feel fantastic. Great food and service. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely meal here on Sunday. Lamb roast dinner was absolutely gorgeous all home made and fresh. All empty plates. Lovely play area for kids and the new one opens today. So will definitely be going back. Great service and a lovely place right on our doorstep.

A great local pub, good food and highly rated by every local we spoke to. Good gluten free meal options and a great playground for children. Loved the family pets being allowed into the pub.

Great value food, in a welcoming atmosphere,

i,d not been here for a very long time and boy how it,s changed. very smart inside and a lovely seated area outside very close to the river. although we didn,t order any food what we saw looked very good. try to squeeze in a night when there,s a live band on and get there early because it gets very busy, alternatively you can reserve a table.

Huge portions, wonderful food! Went twice while in the area on holiday and I was really impressed with the food. The decor is beautiful and the outside gardens are lovely. A great place to chill out.

Came for Sunday lunch after a walk with friends The food was excellent as was the service. Two of us had the chefs special which was cheese and asparagus in filo pastry it was excellent we all had different dishes and all were very good would recommend this pub for a meal

Went on a Sunday, lovely pub but the food was just awful. They couldn’t even get the chips right. Maybe we got them on a bad day but we won’t be going back.

My wife, son and I visited the Leigh Arms for dinner on 6th July. We have driven past the pub on dozens of occasions, and wanted to give it a try. We decided to skip starters, and went straight to mains, with a view to having puddings. Having been served our mains, it was obvious that we were unlikely to be having another course. My steak and Stilton pie was enormous. As it covered the whole of the plate, the chips had to be served on a separate dish. My son had 2 huge chicken kebabs, and my wife had a very sizeable chicken balti. All the food was hot and tasty, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. With reasonable prices, and an excellent selection of beer, a return visit to the Leigh Arms is definitely on the cards.

I tried the steak and Stilton pie my first time, and it was the best pie I have ever had! When I went back I got the roast dinner, which was good, but the pies are really where its at with this place! The service can be slow at times, but the food is worth it, prices seem reasonable too. The kitchen closes at 5pm on a Sunday, which has been the reason my family and I have had to go elsewhere when we are planning on eating a bit later in the day.

We used the venue as a start and finish location for a walk followed by lunch for 17 people. The staff were extremely helpful and made us very welcome after a 2 hour walk in the rain. The pub is modern, clean and comfortable. The food was excellent, plenty of choice, good sized portions, really tasty and value for money.

The staff were lovely, and the venue is beautiful... Unfortunately the scampi and chips looked, and tasted, like they were from a frozen ready meal.

This place was recommended by a friend of relatives. So today we visited the Leigh Arms. What a lovely welcome, friendly and clean. Service was fantastic and the food was superb. So much choice found it hard to decide. Good value for money. Staff very helpful and nothing too much trouble. Very busy but very organised, didn't have to wait long at all. We then walked to the Dutton locks.

We were here with a gathering of friends and a delightful time. Modernism decor. Very good service. The pate starter was highlight - great taste, even better presentation. Duck pancakes very good as well. Both good value too. The curry was not to our liking, not enough spice. But overall a good place.

Used to love this place, unfortunately since its make over in December it has lost some of its sparkle.

Starters came out really quick....

I had supper at the Leigh Arms this evening - lady who took the food order was bordering on rude, this may have been because it was very busy. Food was nice quality and good portions - what I got was not quite what was on menu.

recently renovated food is excellent with good menu friendly greeting and staff live music on a thursday night

We've been here a couple of times now after finding it was dog friendly and still cannot find any fault. Great service, exceptional food and atmosphere.

Stunning inside and out, lots of outdoor seating and a great kids play area. Lunch was outstanding and the staff are great.

We called without reservation not knowing what food to expect. We were lucky to get a table as it filled up quickly shortly after arriving. We ordered Sunday Roast and it was gorgeous ! Cooked to perfection and very nicely presented. Only £8.50 too what a bargain for restaurant quality food.one niggle-no greens on the plate. That is a personal preference and not a complaint as there was plenty of veg. Cauliflower,Carrot and turnip mash,yorkshire pudding 2 huge slices of delicious beef and roasties We shall be visiting again-soon .Highly recommend.

Called here with a friend as had always had a good meal but today was awful. I had a type of chicken stir fry with rice and prawn crackers of the specials board and my friend had pork loin both specials. Well the pork was pink (pork should never be pink!) And my chicken tasted as if it had been pinged but worst was the prawn crackers, dripping in oil, oil actually pooled in every cracker totally inedible. Never got a check back to see if all ok and when complained she said she'd mention it to the chef, never to be seen again. Only ever been in the evening which has always been nice but this lunch was awful.

Lots of cars in car park and inside seemed quite busy. Sunday lunch was served promptly and was enjoyable.

This is our first visit to The Leigh Arms , Excellent meal , Fantastic attentive staff . We called in for Sunday lunch with friends and we were really pleased . With the food and service.

Despite not booking for Easter Monday the staff still found us a table even though they were extremely busy. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Now the food !!!!!! A wide choice and five of us all found something different. Pie for me - so much meat and soooo good in fact I have never been beaten with size but had to admit I was beaten mind you the family finished it!!!!

Stopped here after a drive out today it was lovely the kids really enjoyed playing in the play area. Had sandwiches and chips that were really nice. Will defo be back for the Sunday lunch it looked fab. Had a really Lovely afternoon the staff were friendly and cleared table regularly.

We stopped for a light lunch - one member ordered prawns on brown bloomer - it was ordinary brown bread - disappointing. Two members of our party ordered grilled Halloumi on ciabatta - the first one arrived and was barely warm so it was returned to be grilled. The second one arrived and again only warm so that also was returned to be grilled. Why advertise as grilled if it isn't. Very pleasant sat outside but the food only average.

Booked a table for 3 adults and a child in a high chair for this evening at 6:30. When we arrived we were greeted with a square table, which would usually seat two people. This was not suitable for 3 adults and a child, as we would be eating off our knees.

We visited for a family occasion on Sunday lunch. As well as a Sunday roast choice there was also a Sunday menu slightly scaled down from the weekly menu. There were also specials. The food was delicious and well presented and served. The staff are very friendly and efficient.

Stopped for lunch after walking Alpacas at Oakmere Alpacas (highly recommended). Lovely food, good service

Been to blakemere with grandchildren, called in at the leigh arms on our way home. Superb fresh tastey lunch. Value for money. And very friendly welcoming staff.Sat outside, lovely facilities. First time visit and will definitely return.

This is a great venue for families or couples. The play area for the kids is great and the food is fantastic. We went on a very busy Sunday so the service was a little slow but the food quality was excellent.

My dad is recently in a wheelchair and we wanted to find an accessible pub in a nice country location for a day out. It’s not overstating it to say that the Leigh Arms was perfect. It is spacious, with plenty of room between the tables, there’s a wide entrance door and a ramp to the restaurant area and disabled loo (my dad rated this five star). They seem to have thought of everything. It was so relaxing to go somewhere and not have to worry about access. It’s also a lovely pub with a very relaxed atmosphere, a great setting and good value food. Thank you and well done!

There was always a concern, that when the Leigh arms was refurbished, they would change and amend everything including the venue.

Couldn’t say a bad word about the place! The food was amazing, the staff friendly. Well worth the drive here!

I called into the Leigh arms after walking with my dog along the many places to walk around this area.

Used to come here often many years ago. Thought we would give it a try and see what's it's like today. Sadly, despite really wanting to like the return visit, it wasn't up to scratch.
