PARR ARMS in Warrington

We used to visit The Parr Arms several years ago so decided to drive from Manchester for a Saturday lunch only to find it had suddenly closed without any notification - thanks !

Despite only having only recently moved to Cheshire, I must say this place is already one of my favourite food venues of all time. Highly recommended!

Visited with friends, friendly service, food cooked fresh, nice place average costs, varied menu would go again and try something else

Decided to have a meal here after a long local walk. Service was appalling waited 41 minutes for our food No apologies nothing will not be going here again

What a gem of a pub!!!!! Haven't been here before, lovely local cozy pub!!! The food was beautiful and catered for gluten free!!!!!!! The bar staff were lovely and Friendly!!! Definitely recommend this one 😁

Lovely little pub in a lovely little street. The food menu has a good selection, and came out in good time. The best thing about our experience was the service, which was really excellent. The staff were very busy but stoll did everything they could, and even relocated us when our dog was freaking out at the church bells. All the locals were lovely too. I'd absolutely recommend this pub.

The vegetarian roast dinner was awful the gravy seemed like it had been left out for hours it was stone cold won't be visiting again

Lovely small place for a pint and food

Came for some early evening beers to sit outside. Furniture was worn and broken and one seat completely unusable for two people. The outside garden areas were uncared for and there were cigarette butts on the floor that had clearly been there a while. When we arrived there were also glasses on the table. However the bar was quiet and staff on more than one occasion when we walked in were ignorant and showing no politeness. A couple near us ordered food which arrived without cutlery. They had to go back and follow this up themselves. This used to be a lovely pub and appreciate it may be a one off experience but I suspect it isn't.

Just great food and service. Been coming here for years with my mum. She is 89 and they look after her so well.

Great place to eat. Food orders taken at the table. Theres a wide range of food available that's home cooked. Staff always willing to please. Small area for dogs. This pub is a gem , very welcoming and not at all like the run of the mill pubs that often come and go theses day.

Where do we start how about undercooked vegetables. Been for lunch today at The Parr Arms we ordered the Cheese pie with double cooked chips, and fresh vegetables, fresh is the key word think what you mean is raw they were horrid. No doubt about it the cook doesn't use any seasoning or salt. The vegetables were raw, tasteless just like the dish of replacement vegetables you brought them also tasteless and unseasoned and microwave to death I don't care what you say they were microwaved. A total waste of a long journey and waste of £32 in total , which included £3 for half a pot of cool tea and £3:50 for a very small cappuccino , the drinks are an astronomical price not worth the price it's a total rip off pub , people must be stupid paying prices like this open your eyes for god's sake. No doubt about it we will not be returning to this place again, you might thing it's a popular place but thinking about it it's one of the only pubs around there, please think hard before you waste your money. Cheese pie was good not brilliant but just about passes, the double cooked chips very nice, staff OK, pub itself could do with good cleaning, note the two plastic bins behind the bar yuk yuk yuk........ Sorry guys 3/10 and it's only just a 3 not nice at all.

A great pub with an excellent selection of well kept beers.

Lovely pub, good ale, delicious food and very good service. Fresh food so a little bit of a wait for it to arrive but pleasant surroundings and food well worth the wait!!

Hasn’t got the same feel to it, interior in need of some TLC and the dance music continually played isn’t fitting for a village pub in an oldie worldie village.. food average and the guy behind the bar in need of a personality transplant.

Staff were very attentive. Took our drinks order as we sat down and took or food order when drinks arrived. Food arrived within 20/30 mins. I would highly recommend you try ether the cheese and onion or the steak and ale pie. The desserts were also delicious! Also, the Wednesday night quiz had such a great atmosphere, we will definitely be back!

Been in several times recently and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service. Good, Wholesome, hearty home-cooked food. Well served and well prepared. Lamb chops, liver, fish n chips etc etc - weve almost been through the menu. Loveky!

Great food and drink. Also lovely friendly atmosphere

What a lovely experience! We have never been to The Parr Arms before, but we'll definitely be back. Emily and Will were the perfect hosts, and the food was fantastic. The portions were tasty, generous and piping hot. We can highly recommend the black pudding tower starter, gorgeous, and worth coming back just for that. Thanks for a smashing lunch.

Fantastic food and friendly attentive staff. Love the specials board and new menu. My Wexford steak was cooked to perfection ( as always) and my husband’s lamb chops looked amazing. Never disappoints . Love the dry sense of humour of some of the staff and we always have a good laugh and a chat when we come in. Location is stunning and the late sun outside at the front is something I look forward to.

13th June, rented a narrowboat so moored up nearby & met family, its a wonderful little pub the food was amazing !! There were 7 of us attending my birthday meal & 7 of us were happy with the food it was beautiful & the service was great a lovely lady & the bar man was attentive too ! I'd highly recommend also the rhubarb vegan dessert was gorgeous, I'll definitely return if just for this, I ate Thai green off the specials menu it was absolutely delicious xxx what a gem of a pub !!

I’ve never felt so unwelcome in a pub. We often call in local dog friendly places on our walks around this neck of the woods and have sat outside before now as it’s a pretty village to view. Due to rain it’s the first time we have been inside. The atmosphere is dreadful, the bar staff are miserable and rude. The food looked lovely but we didn’t get so far as ordering, we left and won’t be going back. Considering hospitality is meant to be a leisurely experience, not forgetting £15 for a pint and a glass of wine, you might want to enjoy it. The staff made sure it was not the case. Hopefully Rams head will reopen soon. Parr arms don’t deserve custom.

When here for drinks with another couple. I always knew the Parr arms was very "clicky" but the rudeness of certain staff was Blatantly obvious. Lots of huffing and eyes rolling. Without a doubt it needs new management. Will not be going back and as a resident clise the the area will be warning others to avoid

What's happened to the food at the Parr arms, that picture was a halloumi burger and chips. The burger was very bland, presentation very poor and the portion of chips was ridiculous. Complaining about the chips they told us they had reduced the portion size. Very disappointing from a place that was renowned for good food. How to go from 5 starts to 1 star. Unfortunately time to try next door, very disappointing..

Lovely traditional pub/ good food/ good manager- dead animal parts hung on wall not so nice

Really lovely staff. Booking probably needed. We didn't have starters but mains were home cooked and delicious. Desserts were ok, quite expensive for what they were.

Sooooo disappointing Staff were lovely helpful and embarrassed by directive from above We had a voucher which could be used until end of March but staff could not accept it as directors Darren had said not to be redeemed now !!! This goes against laws of trading Food not great steak ordered med rare came at least medium. My husband’s meal had to be sent back as cold. As I said staff were lovely. Won’t be eating at Broad Oak pubs again anytime soon

Delicious food and great atmosphere.

Such a nice pub food was great and the staff were lovely

Great beer, atmosphere & food. Highly recommended, especially without young kids even though they do cater for them.

Fantastic pub. Food was delicious.

Great local pub serving good booze, good food and doing it well. Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. One of my favourite pubs! Just been for a meal which was very enjoyable

Friendly, warm and welcoming with a good selection of beers.

Lovely place to go but have had better meals here

This is a nice pub in Grappenhall Village. Good selection of beers and a very good menu. The food is excellent and all of us enjoyed our meals. Service was excellent and staff very friendly. The village is well worth a visit with a historic church, second pub only yards away and a cricket club about 300 yards down the road.

Unfortunately on this occasion the food was not so pleasant. Soggy very greasy batter on fish.. the mixed veg seemed like frozen heated up.. and the garlic chicken was tasteless. However they apologised and gave us a discount We would have preferred a good meal. Sorry Parr Arms...

Enjoyed a wonderful meal and would certainly recommend to others

BELOW Parr arms Long waits poor service

Waited over 45 minutes for food no explanation so left tried to charge for food not had no apology nothing. terrible customer care Staff in urgent need of training Serve food in order placed so disorganised

Had a brilliant night Food amazing Staff excellent Will definitely be going back .. Many thanks

Always good food, I had the chicken curry, excellent though a lot of food. My friend had the pie. We never quite make a desert as usually full, but always have a drink and a coffee, which is always served hot. Staff lovely, very friendly. Great value. Fantastic roaring fire, makes it feel cozy and homely. Would recommend.

Bar staff not very engaging , beer was good

Not too happy with our last visit here, went with family and friends, we had pre ordered our meals, arrived about 10 mins before and sat at out table, no one came to take our drinks order so we sorted that ourselves, when prompted after about 30 mins staff came to take our order, told her we had pre ordered she looked surprised and went to find out what was happening, hot starters were served on cold plates, the mains did not arrive at the same time, 2 of our parties meals came after the rest had finished their meals( we have had an apology for this ) we had chosen from a menu that stated 3 courses for £22 or 4 courses for £27, we had the 3 courses for what we thought was £22, but the confusion was over bill they actually charged us for the 4 course meal, which we refused to pay for, because we had 3 courses, there was some confusion over the menu and the way it was set out, the staff told us the 4 courses include the mince pies and coffee, but then in the same breath they said that the mince pies and coffee were complimentary, we ended up paying more than we should have done, btw we didn't have our coffee and mince pies, so next time make sure you make it clear to your customers exactly what we are getting for our meal and what we are paying for, it's a shame really we enjoyed the meal, it's a pity the customer service is not up to scratch, as a regular visitor to this pub, I think it will be a while before we frequent this establishment again

Fantastic local pub with wonderful service. They treat my dog like royalty!

Went for quiet evening out with friends. We did book and the place was busy but we all enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service from the friendly and welcoming staff. Good value and definitely worth another visit.

Absolutely gorgeous.. we had two veggie roasts which were delicious. We love this pub and the food is always fabulous. The staff are always friendly and efficient. Just a lovely, friendly and welcoming place … and gorgeous tasteful Christmas decorations.. ❤️

Very disappointed with our recent visit with friends. Waited 45 minutes for our meal to be served and when it eventually arrived it wasn't good. My husband had the steak pie which was inedible as the pastry was hard and very little meat and my small portion of fish and chips was half its usual size and the price had gone up. The staff weren't very amiable either. We've eaten regularly over 55 years at the Parr and always enjoyed eating there but sadly not any more

We had pre-ordered a table for 7 and had the Christmas afternoon tea. We were very disappointed.......the sandwiches were not dainty at all as they had the crusts on. the Christmas cake slices were like slices from a supermarket. The mince pies were home made and nice. There were croissants on a plate with chocolate sauce on !!! a bit odd we thought - and they definitely were not fresh croissants so they were left. The waitress was quite rude and just brought our plates and put them on the edge of the table for us to take ourselves. They were big dinner plates - not the dainty plates that we associate with afternoon teas. We had little chocolates in the coffee cups which were nice and we ordered our tea and coffee (3 coffees and 1 tea) we were brought 1 coffee and 3 teas ! We ordered 4 afternoon teas as 4 people wanted to share, ( 2 people sharing one each) however these 4 only got the same as the two people who ordered one each. The two had the afternoon tea served between them and the other 4 had to share one of these servings between them, so we were a serving short which the waitress argued was not ordered correctly.... she did not offer to rectify this and was quite rude.. Therefore those sharing, only had 1 serving between them - so they hardly had any food. Very very disappointing for the price of £16.00

I’ll start with the good points, the food when it finally arrived was delicious - I had the lamb chops special and it was really nice. This traditional village pub which I have been visiting for 30 years was busy and decorated beautifully for Christmas. Sadly the rest of my review is negative, I came away feeling very disappointed and won’t be going back. The service was abysmal right from the start. Our party of 8 sat down at 7pm and by 7.45 I had to go looking for someone to take our order. We all ordered a main, no starters, which then took until gone 9pm to reach us. After we’d finished we sat with our empty plates on the table until gone 10pm at which point someone came to clear them away. We weren’t asked if we wanted desserts or any more drinks. By the time the table was finally cleared most of the staff had packed up and gone home. Again we had to go and find someone to pay. Really shocking service, such a shame as I normally love the Parr Arms but won’t be going back any time soon.

A really nice cosy place with nice friendly staff and nice food

Great food and good traditional pub. Excellent service.

Excellent food, good value. Several of us had Tuna Mayo ,cheddar melt on baguette, with chips. Great. Someone had Steak and Ale pie. It was a " plate pie" which we as a group like. We visited for lunch, on a Tuesday and it was full, so people must like it.

What a great pub , food & service 5 stars , Moretti was pretty good too 👌

Excellent choice of food away from the regular menu. The staff are very helpful especially the young man the waited on us.

Lovely traditional village pub. Excellent food menu and great atmosphere

Well looked after for our lunch time meal , very enjoyable

Lovely food great choice still like a pub.

Booked a table for 7 of us, for a special family birthday meal. Our table was ready when we arrived and drinks order taken straight away. We all ordered main courses and though we had to wait a while for the food to arrive, it was worth the wait! All meals arrived at same time, everything piping hot and perfectly cooked. Desserts arrived quickly & were really generous helpings! The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Parr Arms for a lovely meal!

Loved it. The food was amazing. I had lamb chops. The mint gravy was beautiful. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Lovely atmosphere. Can't wait go again.

Lovely pub with amazing amazing food, staff were lovely too, deffo going back soon!!

The pub itself is very cosy, the staff are polite and friendly. The food was decent.

Excellent stop here for a cracking Sunday lunch. The food is very very good - go for the Turkey and beef Sunday lunch - it’s epic. And the veg just adds to the whole meal. Well cooked, nicely presented and tasty with a capital T! Alison our server was fantastic- very funny jokes and a really great person who added to the overall experience! Very reasonably priced - with two rounds of drinks for four people the total bill was only around £125 - £30 a head and that includes some wonderful puds. Nice to see you get ample amounts of custard rather than the usual spoonful. Definitely going back. If you’re looking for a great dining experience any day of the week - you’ve got to try the Parr Arms

Not a friendly place,waitress/bar staff bordering on rude, Sunday lunch just piled upon plate and pre smothered in gravy, roasties did not seem roasted just boiled and Beef rubbery.

Lovely pub but very limited parking and regular visits by police to hand out parking tickets - our party were given four tickets today. Be careful

We happened by the pub by chance as we aren't from the area and couldn't be more impressed! Three ladies working, all lovely, welcoming and chatty. The food was amazing, blue steaks cooked properly and a lovely homely atmosphere.

We’re blessed with the best in Grappenhall village. The Parr Arms needs to be on your agenda, for fizzy beers and crispy chips. The staff are ace, all of them. I might be biased, but I’m glad I moved here and discovered this epic local inn. Keep. Going.

Always visit the Parr Arms whenever we have a special occasion. Lovely food, staff, and atmosphere. I have never had a poor experience in all the years of visiting.

Such a shame that a pub in such a pretty setting as such miserable staff and even worse food. Ordered several meals all terrible had a better curry out of a jar. The chips tasted like they had been cooked 3 days prior. The pie with crumble resembles a dry pack of paxo and the medium rare steak was as dry as an old boot and certainly not medium rare. Had high hopes for this place. What really let it down was the staff very unfriendly especially The male taking The food order. Very arrogant.

Nice old school pub . Very nice food . Can get busy so worth booking in advance. Parking is limited

Lovely meal with some good friends, good start to the night out

Very poor. We visited as a family of 8. We booked our table for 6:30pm, it was 7pm before anybody took our order. Our meals didn’t arrive until 8:20pm, by which time 2 of the children were fast asleep. The service was very slow. The meals were not of the quality we were expecting for what we paid. Overall - a disappointing visit. We will not be returning

We went for a spot of lunch on 31/05/23 and it was lovely. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside with our small dog on the picnic benches. Dogs are welcome but the area inside is very small and chances are the table in question would be already occupied. We would only go if weather is nice to be able to sit outside as we always take our dog. I’m also coeliac and my son. The GF options are limited but they do a cracking jacket potato and the filings are all GF. Fast service from ordering to serving. Great food.

Good food when on form, friendly staff and decent beer

I've been here a few times now and had good food. and as Arnold Schwarzenegger said, I'll be back.

Lovely pub. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It has a very welcoming and comfy atmosphere. There is also a great pub quiz on every Wednesday.

Just a fabulous food and traditional ales pub.

A first class venue for casual dining. Test your beloved to a wonderful venue you can rely on for excellent service.

Had an outstanding lamb kidneys with bacon and onion gravy. Best I've had for a while! Beer was good as was the last time I visited.

More of a food pub than a night out one, unless you can find space in the back room (tap room) in fact finding space is probably your biggest issue here. Once in the beer selection is very good and the food excellent, much better than your standard pub grub.

Definitely the best pub on the road. Cosy, comfortable and food was excellent. Service a little slow as they were extremely busy but a lot better than The Ram's Head Inn and much more what we expected in this little nook of the world.

Very homely service is great and a good selection of specials

It's many years since I last visited this pub. Nestled in the beautiful Grappenhall village, we arrived on a Sunday evening and the pub was busy with a good atmosphere. The menu was quite limited but lots of choices on the specials board. I found the food very mediocre and nothing to shout about. I probably wouldn't return for food, but a nice place for a few drinks.

Visited in December last year, good food and service, staff were excellent and very patient with my elderly grandmother

Home cooked Sunday lunch was excellent. Friendly helpful staff. Real fires and very cosy. Will definitely call again. 👍

Called in one night for some food. It wasn’t very busy and we ordered to my main meals and-drinks. The food came and I started eating. It was still frozen in places I asked for it to be returned which they did and brought me a different meal. This is what I I did not expect from a Par arms the food and the management. I’ve always been excellent there but since the change of management it’s gone down. I have not been back since and I want be going back again.

Cosy and friendly, car park is small. Real ale 🍺 good choice of beers. Seems busy , non regulars are made to feel welcome.

Great lunch with friends. Cheaper snack menu really good value. Place was busy on Wednesday lunchtime speaks volumes. Roaring real fire 🔥 lovely

A large group of us (children, parents, grandparents) came here today and enjoyed a lovely meal. Great quality and good portions - everybody was happy. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the pub itself has a warm and cosy atmosphere. We’ll certainly be coming back 👍

Nice pub in a pretty village serving great food with good service and it's dog friendly too

Had a lovely meal here on Tuesday lunch time. A very pretty little village too

The atmosphere was just like an old fashioned pub. No TV or loud music and the food was great.

Just had turkey and all the trimmings and it was fabulous!! Food lovely and so much of it, tasty and nice and hot. Four courses, fantastic value for money and service great too. Could not fault and we will be back.

Great friendly atmosphere, great food

4 of us went today for the Christmas lunch today, all 3 courses were perfect, and the coffee and homemade mince pie at the end was amazing. Big portions of delicious food cooked perfectly, service was excellent too it was busy but everything was running very smoothly, will be back in the New Year!

Nice little pub . Food was OK nothing special just pub grub

Great patrons, great services. Always smiling and happy to help and serve. A kind word everytime and advice when needed.

Hi just been to Parr Arms with friends for Christmas meal. It was fab.

Great food and service, we will be back. Loved it.

Excellent afternoon lunch with group of friends. Staff were lovely. Will come again. Thank you

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch plenty to eat and it was very hot which I like we will be going back in the near future x
