The Boars Head in Cheshire East

Brilliant food and relaxed atmosphere

I did a quick search of places to eat around Nantwich and quickly found The Boars Head. The menu looked interesting enough to go and I'm glad we did. I can't fault a single thing. The grounds are beautiful with a well kept garden and large, free car park. The place is very clean and fresh, we ate in the conservatory. Every single member of staff we encountered was friendly and obviously competent. Toilets are beautiful and clean, music being a nice touch. I wanted to try almost everything on the menu! Everything we ordered was extremely good quality and interesting. I would highly recommend for the whole experience.

We visit often and called in today for lunch after visiting Bridgemere. Always lovely fresh food, service good. My only comment of this place is that the tables for 2 are very close together to adjoining tables and therefore not very private when the restaurant is busy as it was yesterday...

Excellent food, drink and service. Highly recommended.

Myself and five friends just had a lovely lunch. Our table attendant Ella is a credit to the business. Very attentive, knowledgeable and personable. We will be returning I'm sure - thank you.

Excellent meal and super friendly and efficient staff, gorgeous interior. The only problem was the vegetables needed longer cooking, they were a little too hard for us all. Otherwise, definitely a place to go and we will be back thank you.

Superb meal enjoyed by all. Four adults and one child

Nice place good atmosphere Quite expensive great food

Incredible Sunday lunch and excellent service

The food was exquisite. Service was even better. Our server was Ryan and he was polite, professional and couldn't do enough. 5 stars all day

Four of us just had lunch at The Boars Head, some went off the 2/3 course menus others from the main menu. The food was excellent, service a little slow especially when we were asked if we wanted the desert menu and then eventually someone came and asked us again. Sweets were also excellent. Be careful when paying the bill gratuity is automatically added, we prefer to decide for ourselves but on this occasion what was automatically added we felt was sufficient so did not decline. Nice place will visit again.

Great food with excellent service

Beautiful place but was expecting the Sunday roast beef to be better. Staff are very nice and professional

Magnificent. Food amazing staff the best I have had service from at any restaurant and that includes 2 michelin star restaurants , Ellie was the perfect member of staff made our day .

Excellent food and excellent value for money. Pies are real encased ones stuffed full of filling, not air and a flaky top. Excellent service too and a lovely beer garden (can't wait for the smoking ban to cover pub gardens. It will really improve things for all). It's a great place to eat

Enjoyed the food. Look forward to visiting again due to the attentive customer service and great dining experience. Recommend

Dropped in on the off chance of a table for 4, could accommodate sitting in high seats and table. The staff were very attentive, the food and presentation excellent.

Excellent service and food amazing well worth the price will highly recommend a visit

We had a family roast. Service was professional and friendly. Food lost a star, only one roast potato and it was soft and not too warm.

Staff very good and Rachel very excellent always there to help you fantastic staff ⁰0

Quick to order,staff very friendly and helpful. Food delicious

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food. Not the cheapest but well worth the price

Had the most fabulous experience at The Boars Head today! Anna, our server, was amazing, really kind, friendly and so attentive. The food was incredible and a beautiful restaurant too.

Very good Sunday lunch, the food and service were both excellent , I would highly recommend a visit

From the moment we entered The Boars Head the service was spot on, attentive, friendly and efficient. All our food was delicious, can highly recommend the pork belly and the Thai chicken skewers. Thank you.

Longer than normal wait between courses but nice food and staff.

First time visit and wasn't disappointed. Food was excellent and the staff were professional and knew their stuff. Will certainly return.

First time visit today (19.08.24) won't be our last. Superb setting. Relaxed atmosphere. Gorgeous staff who knew their stuff. Went for lunch and and choice of 3 menus. I had the crispy beef salad. Succulent soft beef with a well balanced crispy coating. Chilli and pink ginger combined with little gem lettuce and mashed avocado dressed with miso.

As a 1st visit to The Boars Head, I was expecting very high standards in all departments, and wasn't disappointed at all! From the initial cheerful reception, through impeccable service and the food topping the whole experience off. However, there are a couple of things I must mention. The first is the highest level of service from Diogo, our waiter, who couldnt be more helpful or informed when it came to a specific cocktail and its ingredients for my wife. The second is regarding someone who I never had the opportunity to meet. Apparently there is an amazingly talented chef called James, who provided ourselves with the most incredible apple crumble I have experienced in my 62 years of wining and dining. Thank You James. We shall return. Cheers

Stunning place and location. Very friendly staff. Nothing is too much trouble.

Anna was great, very friendly and attentive, have been here many times and staff like Anna are the reason we are happy to come back !

We had a meal here last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary.I had booked two weeks previously and was really looking forward to a nice meal . It was extremely busy but the staff remained cheerful and did their best . The food however was far from good ! The classic sharer platter wasn’t as described on the menu and also had two dips not four as described . My linguine was over cooked , my husbands black and blue burger was so dry and burnt he couldn’t eat it , and the blue cheese was so minuscule it couldn’t be tasted . I watched my dessert travel around three different tables before it arrived with now melted ice cream . The waitress did replace my husbands meal with a chicken ceaser salad and whilst the salad and sauce were nice the chicken was Luke warm and rubbery. We had to keep asking for drinks and even then had a long wait before they arrived. ( We were not the only table this was happening to ). The cost of my husbands meal and service charge were removed from the bill which was some consolation but what should have been a nice celebration was spoilt . Why ask upon booking if it’s a special occasion to serve below par food and have to constantly chase staff for drinks . Would not recommend and will not be returning.

Our absolute favourite restaurant. Food is incredible, staff so helpful, nothing is too much trouble, special mention to Anna. Beautiful surroundings and atmosphere- can’t fault it

1st time at the Boars head, Nantwich. Very impressed. Polite and attentive staff, very clean and well maintained. I noticed the staff helping an elderly lady and even though it was there busier time of the week, they seemed like they had all the time in the world for the lady. The ambience was great, the drinks were spot on and the food, oh the food.... Very very good. Cannot recommend this venue highly enough. Good job and thank you

Very nice modern clean decor. Food was excellent with some interesting choices. Service was courteous and orobut not overly friendly. Takes quite a while between ordering, starters and main so not the place for a quick bite. Really nice beer garden and green space with traditional deck chairs.

Food to die for, especially that chicken pie 🥧 😋

The service and food wonderful good value

We had a really lovely evening. It was busy but a good atmosphere and we were never forgotten about - service faultless as always. Food was amazing. We struggled to choose, everything sounded good. Highly recommend the baked king prawn stroganoff. Delicious.

Called in on way home from day out, and have to say it was excellent! Lovely friendly welcome, 5 star service and highly recommend the food! Spotless tables, loads of choice on the menu and food was hot and extremely tasty. Have no negative comments at all, even the toilets were spotless! Well worth a visit.

A little quiet, but it was early lunchtime. General menu is expensive, but lunch menu is reasonably priced. Not large meals for lunch, but enough. Cold in the dining area with big windows, but was a cold day.

Relaxing lunch in a rural spot heaven

Always pleasant to sit in the court yard enjoying the sunny weather and talking to the friendly staff.

The owners have this perfect. Clearly spending a lot of money developing this place, and it shows. Definitely recommend this place.

Ambiance, service and food excellent

Great food. And great service as always.

Visit about once a year and it continues to improve. Food was one of the best I’ve eaten in quite a while. Interesting menu with good choice.

Called while we were out on a drive. Not booked but no problem getting a table for 4. Ordered 4 soft drinks and issued with the menus. I noticed there were no prices on anything. Because we don't like sauces we ordered 4 8oz fillet steak chunky chips 2 peppercorn sauces 1 onion rings 3 lemon &lime 1 diet Pepsi The bill came to a whopping £184.00. The food was lovely but extremely small portions for a extremely expensive lunch. This was our first visit and our last. Could not justify the huge cost for a return visit.

Visited the Boars Head on 31/08/24.We popped in for the first time for something to eat.We ordered 4 8oz steaks,one portion of onion rings and 2 pepper corn sauces.Plus 1 large Pepsi and 3 lemon and lime.The food was lovely and to be honest could not fault.However the bill came to £184.This ruined the whole experience. No way could can you justify this huge cost.If the menu showed the cost/ prices of the food we would have not stayed but moved on.Please note it's not about the money,it's no way can you justify £37 for steak and a few chips.Will not be calling again.

Lovely meal, gluten free options

Lovely meal in a relaxed friendly atmosphere

Good atmosphere, friendly service and great food. Thanks 😎👍

Expensive, but nice food. Specials menu is very confusing, especially when it comes to the bill 🤦‍♀️

Awesome Awesome food. Service was steady although they were busy. The staffs attitude was brilliant they went above and beyond for our daughters. Immaculately dressed staff and overall a brilliant pub!

We really enjoyed our meal on sat evening. The food was amazing served hot and we didnt have to wait long considering the restaurant was very busy. Also the service was excellent. It was our wedding anniversary and this was the perfect place to celebrate. We haven't been here for quite a few years but now we can't wait to go back. Thank you for a really lovely evening

Very friendly staff and lovely food. Highly recommended

Fabulous food, served with a smile.

Attentive informal service, good quality food and a pleasant atmosphere.

We were a party of 11 and the service was great.no one kept waiting for their food, which has happened to me at other venues.

What a fantastic pub/restaurant. Staff superb, quality of food exceptional and decor was relaxing and very welcoming. Best restaurant we've been to. Made our graduation trip even more lovely.

The location and building are wonderful. However the service is not very good, we were having a sit down meal and has to go to the bar to replenish our beer. I also ordered a rare steak that came medium well maybe well done it was definitely the opposite to rare. Rest of the food was good and tasty just maybe not extra special.

Came here last night meal for 2 as we were seated we asked for a couple minutes to settle before ordering drinks which ended up having us waiting around 20 minutes for a drinks order. Food came out rather quick but after requesting another drink half way through the meal it took another 10 minutes and was filled to the brim with crushed ice? We took it back and asked for a new one and got told it’ll be brought over which was another 5 minutes. Been here many times this has been the worst experience. I understand that it was nearer towards the end of everyone’s shifts but as working in hospitality myself you shouldn’t make a table feel ignored and avoided. The girl who served us did apologies and give us our drinks off the bill she was very nice about it all and could tell that the service wasn’t the best so props to her.

Great service despite being very busy. Food was good and had a good table in the conservatory.

Excellent Sunday roast and the service was fabulous

Much better food and wine than I expected for a random dog friendly stop.

Always have a lovely time and food here my only thing is we had to wait for one of our starters which came out after we'd already finished our meal but the staff couldn't be faulted, they apologised for the inconvenience and discounted this off the bill. Will be somewhere we come back to time and time again!

Every time a superb experience, today (24/6/24) no exception. The courtyard seating has been improved, the food was fab and the young lady who waited on was 5* no one could have tried harder to please, she’s brilliant cared for our dog and two other couples.

Huge praise to Owen whose service was exceptional! Incredibly professional, helpful and good fun too. Even when he wasn’t attending to clients, he was working continuously- amazing work ethic! Thanks for all your help x

The service was not very good. They asked us if we wanted table water and then forgot to bring it

Hi, my mum and I are both meat eaters so our meal (pork and beef Sunday lunch) was beautiful. However, my partner is vegetarian and doesn't like mushrooms. He had no mains to choose so chose the salad option ( with char grilled hallomi). Unfortunately, it wasnt very well grilled and there was very little choice when it seemed quite easy to find veggie options for our favourite English dishes

Enjoyed a lovely few hours with friends and puppy. Dog beds available in form of crate and blanket 🥰. Manager and staff all very welcoming and accommodating. Food was delicious...I wish I lived closer and would visit often. Thank you x

Fantastic food, great staff - highly recommend!

Revisiting the Boar's Head after many years - a very pleasant surprise. Professional, friendly staff and excellent food. We're planning to go again before too long.

Lovely food, friendly staff, nice surroundings

Food is always amazing never had an issue!

Great food. Nice environment, with a large outdoor sitting area if required. Large car park. Good that they let dogs in the bar area. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal

Great lunch! Service was great, staff were warm and friendly. The atmosphere and facilities are very high quality. A varied menu and although on a slightly more pricier side you pay for what you get and what we got was great! 4 meals, 4 deserts and plenty of drink. All incredibly happy and will be booking in again for the next special occasion.

Called in on the way home from a trip out. Very busy place and the food is great. The staff still did their best to find is a table. Lovely venue.

Stumbled upon this by accident while visiting dagfields and was happily surprised. A gastro pub out in the country. Plenty of free parking. Lovely menu and the food was excellent, as was the service with very attentive staff. Prices a little in the high side but was definitely worth it. Would definitely recommend.

4 of us went for lunch. The waitress was very welcoming and the restaurant is clean and the conservatory where we were sat was nice and light. We have been to many of the Paragon group restaurants and always been more than happy with the food. Yesterday however my husband and I chose off the 2 courses for £22 lunch menu. The whiting was nice but my pizette was basically garlic bread

Beautiful outside eating area, nice lighting. Inside was lovely and the service very welcoming even though they were very busy. Wine was excellent and the food wonderful. We had a lovely evening, thank you very much.

Really lovely garden to have lunch in on a sunny Sunday afternoon! ☀️Good cocktail selection. A variety of food on the main menu and a Sunday lunch menu. My friend and I both ordered the roast beef which was delicious. The roast potatoes were a bit tough but the rest was cooked well and was really tasty. We also ordered the whitebait to start which again was super tasty and fresh. We had a cucumber and watermelon mojito each which was just what we needed to cool down in the heat of the sun. Service was very friendly. The outdoor area is really beautiful especially when the weather is good. There were beautiful roses blooming when we went in May! 🌹

Christmas meal with friends. We all had three courses and they were all very good. Sticky toffee pudding with custard was my favourite bit!

Love this place great food & excellent service.

Delicious food served by the loveliest staff who helped make our little birthday party very special.

Went to do a reccy for a balloon flight, decided to have a drink, stayed for food, wow I'm glad we did, staff very helpful and cheerful. 10/10

A favourite restaurant to visit, never had a bad meal here and the service is excellent. I can recommend the black and blue burger or the chicken, ham and leek pie. Sunday roasts are also lovely.

Excellent service and value for money

The meat is magnificent, the attention and the Environment are excellent

Beautiful country pub woth stunning views amd excellent food and service

My family and I visited The Boars Head on Sunday for Sunday lunch. What can I say?? We were sat in the conservatory which had a great atmosphere, the service from the team was exceptional, nothing was too much for team and they regularly checked in on us throughout our stay. We had the Sunday Lunch and it was delicious and plenty of it!! I struggled to finish my dessert, however I managed to squeeze it in, It was delicious so I didn't want to leave any!! An all round great dining experience and we will be back, especially after seeing the works that have taken place in the garden area, roll on summer!!

First time experience for me & my daughter... Let's just say we had very clean plates , felt totally greedy indulging on our desert but couldn't resist 😉 both our tummies where ready to burst. DEFINITELY give this pub a Go! You will enjoy everything Staff Foods Drinks & Atmosphere... Thankyou again for making us feel so welcome ❤️

This place is hit and miss. Sometimes great. Sometimes not. We’ve had issues in the past with them adding an extra bottle of champagne onto the bill, and other times a nice get together. Yesterday wasn’t great, poor levels service attention, a dirty spoon, a long hair in my meal (I’m bald) and this is despite the restaurant being very quiet at 5pm on a Monday evening, which isn’t surprising. I’ll think carefully before going again.

Fantastic lunch...excellent all round..highly recommended

Food is nice but quite small portions. Service was fairly prompt and they were able to accommodate us when we hadn't booked in advance so that was good of them. Atmosphere was great, very chilled and lovely light roomy area with large glass windows so you can see out. Cocktails looked impressive but we didn't have any this time.

First time we have visited and wow. Very relaxed, casual and a perfect setting with a lovely garden area. The staff were fantastic and I cant praise it enough we will be back.

Food was great, one item we chose was not on the menu but the staff responded in a prompt and professional manner with a little joke. Staff attentive and we never had to wait for anything.

Very nice country hotel in a small village surrounded by fields. The rooms are comfortable. generous sized and well decorated. The food is delicious both breakfast and dinner and the staff are friendly and helpful without being too intrusive. Great place to stay away from the less than pretty town (I'm allowed to say that I was born there).

Food lovely very nice atmosphere lovely pub

We called in for lunch and were lucky enough to get a table. I say lucky because it was lovely. The staff, the atmosphere, the decor and of course the food. We will definitely be going back. Thank you 🙏🏼

Fabulous dinner, was late due to taxi but accommodated us, slight problem with one of the dinners but dealt with straight away, fantastic service, would recommend
