The Boars Head in Cheshire East

Popped in here for a quick drink. Nothing wrong with the place per se... Just a bit soulless.... One of those places that is superficially pleasant, but bland and unremarkable. Beer selection below par - 2 cask beers from Weetwood and the rest commercial keg. Food looked good, but didn't have any, so you'll have to look at other reviews for that...

Friendly welcome, warm atmosphere and good food, we had the fish and chips (big portion!) and delicious pork belly. Definitely worth a stop and next time we’re in the area we’ll be back.

Dined at The Boars Head last night as a birthday meal for my 21st, booked by my boyfriend. From start to finish we had an absolutely amazing time, filled with great food and perfect service. We were seated on a lovely table which had been decorated with birthday balloons and a little card from The Boars Head wishing me a happy 21st birthday. These little touches had not been organised by my boyfriend, so they were a fab surprise for him too. Not only was the decor great, but we were then handed a complimentary glass of Prosecco each. Then to finish off a wonderful meal, I was surprised with a gooey chocolate brownie and ice-cream with a sparkler in! Honestly the perfect place to dine and truly made me feel like a special birthday girl. We would also like to mention how great our server Jamie was. Super friendly and helpful, really added to the whole experience. Massive thank you to The Boars Head for giving me such a positive and memorable 21st birthday meal.

When there was a problem with the booking staff were unable to help saying it was head office we needed to contact, however there was no phone number to ring and there was no reply to the email which I sent to the address provided so basically there is no way to sort out any problems you may have.

Absolutely amazing, the food was divine and service was excellent. Will definitely return soon

Fantastic experience for a Christmas Day meal. Nothing was a bother and timing was impeccable. Just as great as a normal meal here.

Our latest visit to the Boar's Head didn't disappoint! We've been meeting family here for several years due to its location and excellent eating experiences. The menu caters for all types of eaters and I had possibly my favourite meal of 2024 when tucking into a Beef & Guinness suet pudding. This meal was also ordered by my parents which they enjoyed, while my son devoured his popcorn chicken before tackling a giant haddock. My daughter and wife had tasty plant burgers and my sister went for her tried and trusted chicken, ham and leek pie. The Boar's Head understand how to treat customers and the service was top drawer. We were the first group in our part of the restaurant but the atmosphere slowly built up in festive fashion once other diners had arrived. It's one of those menus that I personally want to order everything from! The selection of wines is also strong and the Chilean pinot noir was followed by a very well poured Guinness.

Lovely annual Christmas Eve with friends. Great food, service and atmosphere

Great food and great service, loved the decor. Lydia was fab, thank you!

Delicious food and wonderful service from Lydia - merry Christmas 🫶🏻

Fantastic food and great service from Lydia, the atmosphere is very Christmassy and nice as well!

Beautiful setting , relaxing festive atmosphere, great food and service

Lovely meal this evening at the boars head, Beautiful food and lovely atmosphere 😍

Amazing Sunday Roast, along with starters and sticky toffee puddings to go with. Had a lovely afternoon, apart from we sat in the window and was a very cold draft the whole meal to the point where our jackets to the touch were cold. We come every year and the food is always impeccable. Just wish we were in the main restaurant where it was so much warmer than the conservatory.

Really well decorated country pub and resturant. Excellent place to grab a late lunch after visiting dag-fields antiques.

Great Sunday roast and well priced

Very enjoyable. George gave us excellent service. Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄

Served quickly.Food was incredible.Very nice waitresses.

Food good atmosphere lovely and service attentive

Perfect food, venue and service. Attractively decorated and furnished. Friendly and attentive staff. Great choice of cuisine and beverage. Highly recommended!

Tasty fresh food. Staff were very polite and helpfull. Atmosphere was relaxing

The setting was beautiful and the food was lovely. What stood out the most for me was the team, they all looked incredibly smart and the service was second to none

Great place to eat with warm atmosphere, friendly staff and great range of quality food. Best to book if you don't want to be disappointed.

Lovely place for a family meal. Staff helpful and attentive. Not the cheapest but a varied and interesting menu with something for everyone.

Great food, service and setting.

Great food great service beautifully set up for Christmas

What a pleasant atmosphere with a great bar service. So pretty at Christmas time looking forward to my next visit.

Lovely food although service was a little sketchy. The waitresses were all really nice but some training would be helpful.

This typical English country pub is located on the main A51 so easily accessed day or night & has ample parking in an open car park adjacent to the premises. The pub appears recently refurbished, it was my first time there. We sat in a light and open large glass conservatory accessed from the well stocked & very pleasant bar. The pub was beautifully decked out with loads of colourful Xmas decs & trees for the festive season. The menu is varied with a 2 course for £22 menu ancillary to the full & light bites menus. I chose the festive Xmas turkey dinner & I was hard pressed to finish. The plate was packed with turkey veg stuffing etc and was hot & delicious. Part of the Parogon chain. I will definitely be going back.

Love the decor . But food is over priced and poor very disappointed 😞

Great restaurant and pub. Good beer, excellent food and a nice atmosphere. Friendly prompt service. Extensive menu. Pleasant environment. Usually busy, recommend booking a table for a meal.

Magnificent. Food amazing service as usual at the Boars Head. Ellie was as bubbly and attentive as the first time we visited, this place is something special consistent quality shows just how good the staff are a very rare thing to find .Visited with 2 friends that live 15 mins away but had never been before they was amazed at how good it was and have said they will be going back many times themselves could not believe why they had never tried it before and we have living 1 and a half hours away .

Delicious food, served by friendly staff in a nice cozy setting

Lovely cosy pub with traditional decorations and roaring fire 🔥 Great place to have a little chat and photo with Santa. Present was a small chocolate selection box and decorate your own xmas mug. At the tables, there was an activity pack, and the kids could write their Christmas wishlist as they waited for breakfast. The breakfast is quality over quantity. The nicest sausage we've ever tasted.

Wonderful place. First time there. Would certainly go again.

Celebrating our daughter in law birthday, last year horrendous at another venue🍊🌳 so 10 of us arrived 20 mins b4 table due, scanned menus thinking to avert any issues, oh contra!!! 45 mins after table due we were seated ( at the wrong table) needless to say several of our party were “past eating” so when food arrived it was “pushed around the plate “ The staff were brilliant, curtious, friendly and did their best to make up for our wait and even knocked drinks off our bill. But this was the 2nd yr at a Paragon pub where “wait or service” spoilt a birthday!!!

Great choice of food at fair prices - super helpful staff and a lovely setting to sit and relax in.

Lovely food, good service in a nice setting.

Had a lovely meal with friends on Tuesday 26 November unfortunately someone decided to walk off with my wife’s Pink Burberry scarf Hope it strangles you ☹️

Just popped in for lunch. Great staff and great food Will definitely call again when I am that way on

Great food. Nice beer. Reasonably priced. Lovely staff. Let us take our dog into the bar to have our meal What's not to like? Even the loos are lovely.😂 We'll be back. Definitely recommend.

Astoundingly good food!!! Easily up there in the top 3 best eats in my 47 years on the planet! And I like good food... The service was efficient and friendly. The drinks were crisp and well kept. The food was divine - unusual flavour combinations which just 'worked' and cooked to perfection. We were struggling to choose a main as there is a wide selection so we went for a gastro sharing platter with a side of chips. Everything was delicious, and just the right amount of food. We were full but looked at the dessert menu and couldn't resist. Burnt cheesecake with raspberry sorbet and a sharp orange jus, and a choix pastry with cream and meringue and a raspberry, lime and [something] ripple ice cream. These too were amazing. The place seems to have been recently renovated with sympathetic but high quality decor and mood lighting, and is in a good state of repair. It's quite rural so it's quiet outside and would be lovely to sit out on a summer's day. There is a decent car park too. A rare dining experience. We went midday, midweek (Wednesday lunch) as we both had a day off work. We plan to try it when it's busier to see if it maintains such high standards at all times but based on our experience, we'd be surprised if it doesn't.

Always fantastic food and service.

Superb lunch and good ale. Ably served by Ella.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at the Boar’s Head. The staff were cheerful, lovely and super efficient and the menu was excellent, with great choices for everybody. Our meals were delicious, as were the refreshing cocktails. Very happy all round.

After reading the reviews I was excited to go and try the food, sadly it did not live up to the hype. I had the panko chicken and it wasn't much cop, the fried egg was undercooked and snotty and the potatoes were undercooked and hard, two very basic things any half decent cook should get right. Although our server was very pleasant, the time between being given the menus and her coming back to take our order was too long, the same could be said for the time between us finishing our meals and the empty plates being cleared. It was not busy though there didn't seem to be many waiting staff on. First impressions count and we won't be going back. Ah well.

Lovely venue, tasty and fresh food, efficient and polite service. Would highly reccomend!

We had a fantastic meal on Sunday 2nd November. We were meeting friends to celebrate couple birthdays. Food was absolutely fantastic attentive but not over the top service (checked in but left us to chat and eat!!), also quick with bill once asked for (hate sitting around waiting when your ready to leave). Kids menu is brilliant and my little one loved her dinosaur burger. Only thing could be improved on it always being the little ones food first! But that me being super picky. We will be back

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 !

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

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

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.

Great food. And great service as always.

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

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!

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