The Broughton Arms in Cheshire East

1st and last visit. 45 mins for a jacket potato to arrive, which was extremely dry even after adding 2 butters. Ordered the lunch deal which we asked for dessert and 15 mins after we finished the main, no one had been to check on us so we then had to go in and ask. Lovely outside but didn’t see one member of staff come out whilst we were there nor did they check in the meals.

Family get together, Hayley and her staff could not have been more accommodating. There were 15 of us! Traffic meant some were a little late arriving but it was not a problem. The food was very good and only empty plates were returned to the kitchen. Hayley even took a photo for us. Thank you so much to you all.

Great food,great service,mains came out minutes after starters were cleared,too soon for our party, dogs fighting in bar area,not a good look,sound whilst dining,but would return as it was probably a one off experience !!

Lovely evening spent with friends ,a lovely atmosphere,a good choice of food and good service.

First time in here since it was updated fantastic and couldn't be faulted, will certainly go again.

Tastes like Jamal (very LeBron)

Gorgeous pub with a lovely location and outside area. Atmosphere is always nice and staff are nice. The sun was out and it was heaving so there were giant queues for the bar. They said it would be a 45 mins wait on food but it wasn't that long luckily. Unfortunately the menu and the food weren't that great. The garlic mushrooms had a rock hard coating which was tasteless, they were full of water and I'm not quite sure I found a mushroom. Fish and chips were standard, mushy peas had a weird hard coat on too so we had to break through that. It was like they were old. Mum did enjoy the vegetable chilli. There wasn't really a lot on the menu for vegetarians. So I'd go again for a drink in the summer and sit outside but I wouldn't rush back for food.

Went yesterday, had to queue for about 10 minutes to order food. They were missing items from the menu, so I ordered a different starter. When the food arrived, it was obvious that it was a cheap supermarket product that had been fried to within an inch of its life. 4 cheese melts for £5.95. We have had really good food here before, so it was disappointing.

Amazing didn't know it existed!!

Great service and atmosphere. Appears to be a thriving local venue.

Very friendly staff we were early for our table but the girls made us feel very welcome we ordered our food which took no time at all and they were busy .Food very nice and tasty

Typical pub food, reasonably priced. Staff were lovely and friendly. Beautiful setting by the canal. Dog friendly areas.

I love the Broughton Arms. I'm always very happy with the quality and service I receive.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating, happy to help and the food was delicious. Whole family loved the evening and were really happy with the service. Thank you

A lovely old fashioned pub, family favourite for year's. Staff lovely and very friendly, nice atmosphere and yummy food at good prices.

Great service, friendly staff, brilliant food, in fact the lasagne was better than one from an Italian restaurant I recently ate at, value for money, great surroundings, lovely pub, all in all 10 out of 10 in everything, love it. 😊

Fabulous lunch. Lovely polite and helpful staff with excellent communication skills.

Lovely pub next to the canal food good service good.

5stars for service ,food and Guinness all good. 10/10 well worth the stop.

Excellent service good food great offers available and I will be going back

Excellent service, friendly staff, and the food was really good. This was our first visit and we were very impressed. We shall definitely be going again soon.

Really pleasant pub, we were travelling on the Canal, and pulled in for a pint and food, glad we did now 😀

Staff are always friendly, polite and helpful. Food keeps to a good consistent standard

Lovely atmosphere and not a long wait time for food!

Booked for Sunday lunch 02/02/2025.very disappointing meal unfortunately, overdone roast potatoes, were dry and extremely tough, carrots were overcooked and limp/spongy, roast beef wafer thin. On a plus the table service was very good.

Warm welcome. Brilliant staff. Warm place hot plates. Food fantastic. Atmosphere good. View good pudding 🍮 good. Over all really nice. Will return. Genuine good service all round x

Excellent service, staff very friendly,, would highly recommend the steak,, all food hot and well presented Thank u, we will b back and would definitely recommend to family and friends

A nice canalside pub with a wonderful outside setting for the summer. Inside will be a little dated for some, but it's cosy and homely with a good choice of drinks and the widest range of af drinks I've seen anywhere. Also dog friendly. Food is traditional pub grub. Not the best, but certainly not the worst I've had either. Perfectly adequate quality and very reasonably priced. Staff are friendly and service is good. Overall a good honest traditional pub in a great location.

Great pub in a lovely location next to the canal. Friendly staff, friendly locals, good food, good service, good parking.

Amazing food kind lovely staff.Very cozy and welcoming atmosphere.Highly recommend.

Fantastic Boxing Day Lunch. Pub has great atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming. Food Lovely, staff amazing.

Always willing to help and the food is lovely!! It's always got decorations around for whatever time of year it is. We thoroughly enjoy coming here 🤩

Friendly staff and service, wonderful food and a great atmosphere and decor, especially pleased with our experience

A great local pub. Really good place for food and drink! Always great service and the food is fabulous.

From walking into the pub with a lovely warm feeling, Beautifully decorated for the festive season and cosy without being crushed. The decorations are stunning and very welcoming indeed. Myself and 2 guests were shown to our reserverved table and allowed to read the menu without feeling rushed. Having decided on what we wanted to eat, myself and 1 guest went to the bar to order, she for the drinks, and myself for the meal. There were a few others at the bar but we didn't have to wait to be served and again felt welcomed. The bar staff were helpful and able to exchange a little conversation, which is nice compared to places where bar staff can be a little aloof and reluctant to smile in some, not here though. I had asked that the fish of one of the meals be well cooked and we were asked which vegetable we wanted. We were back at the table and having a good old chin wag, and the meal came for the 3 of us piping hot and on hot plates. Sadly, this is something a lot of pubs and restaurants forget about, and hot food chills down very quickly. Not so at the Broughton Arms, the plates are always hot! The fish which was well cooked was lovely, it was mine, and I really dislike wet fish, this was beautiful and the batter light and crispy, my guests were very pleased with their meals and have said they will certainly come back again. After finishing our meal, the assistant came and cleared our plates away and again was able to exchange pleasantries about the snow which had fallen the night previously. We sat there for about a further 10 minutes and then went to pay. The staff again were very helpful and wished us well, and hoped to see us again. I can say that The Broughton Arms will certainly see us again! Thank you for a lovely meal and the welcome. 10/10 and a gold star!

We had the 2 course Christmas Dinner. It was fabulous. The best one I've ever had in a restaurant, and served by the most friendly of staff.

Had a great Christmas meal on Friday. I can recommend the Hake main. Service was very good. Bar staff were great.

We came last night in our motorhome, the staff was super friendly, the place looked fantastic, well decorated and the food was superb including the best skinny fries ever. Thank you very much, beautiful place!

Excellent and friendly service. Good beer and food

Pretty good food at reasonable prices. I had the scampi and chips. My wife had the "small plate" Hunter's Chicken lunch deal. Food came quickly and plates were hot, which was good.

Good Food, good service and good ambience….. will definitely go again

Good range of food & drink. Friendly prompt service. Would have been nice to be able to have a slightly wider range of low alcohol/zero alcohol drinks, but it didn't spoil the day

Great service especially from Kerrie

The broughton is my local pub and honestly the best local I've ever had. The staff are all very friendly and the owners are also lovely. I went with a friend today for a Christmas lunch, it really was delicious and excellent value. I had the roast turkey and a sticky toffee pudding. I have also had the butternut squash tart which is lovely too. I regularly attend the quiz night on a Tuesday which is great fun. I'd recommend the steak and ale pie and the curry if you're passing through.

Very welcoming and cosy feel especially with the lovely Xmas decorations :-) Also, very friendly attention giving staff.They go all out to make you want to visit again The food was lovely....Roast dinner's are the best if you ask me..plus the giant Yorkshire puddings! Overall....in my opinion....I could not fault anything x

Dog friendly and with mostly good friendly staff. The beer is standard Marsden fare. The food however was terrible; burnt, dry, gristly. I wouldn't recommend visiting for anything other than a drink and then only if you like the more old fashioned beers.

Pub is next to the canal, with outside seating, beer is good, food was poor on Saturday

Lovely food, great atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff, good value for money, all in all, my Mum and my favourite place for a meal out! Highly recommended! :)

Good food for the price. Nice to see a good number of people in the pub on a Friday lunchtime. Will be returning.

Had a lovely stop here last night in our campervan - stop over free when you eat/drink in the pub. Food was great, lots of options, drinks good, staff lovely, and it felt like the pub was a home for the community which felt nice. Will visit again for sure. Any motorhomes or campervans see parking info, plus you need to book ahead.

Had a fantastic meal the steak was cooked perfectly The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The Christmas decorations are lovely x

Good atmosphere, lovely staff. The chicken burger was nice but the sausage and mash left a lot to be desired. Mash was microwaved gloop, peas were microwaved bullets and the sausages were dry and tasteless.

Very efficient and friendly staff, great quality of food

Good steak . Excellent chips . Good sides . A warm welcome great atmosphere. Served with a smile . Clean toilets with a dog friendly area . A great canal side pub by by

Attractive garden by the canal. 4 decent ales and food menu.

I had a tasty gammon steak with two fried eggs. The coffee is filter style. I thought the atmosphere could have benefitted if there had been fewer dogs, but the ample parking areas are adjacent to a canal and a wooded area with paths, so dog owners will only be encouraged. Plenty of outdoor seating also. A very felicitous location.

Absolutely brilliant stopover for our motorhome we were made to feel extremely welcome food and staff brilliant thanks 😊 we will be back x

Very dated inside, feels a bit dirty. Food was good. Kids portions really good. Atmosphere was a bit loud and inappropriate from some of the other customers.

We live on a narrowboat and thought we would try this pub as we were moored close by. We ordered Ultimate Southern Fried Chicken Burgers (I had jalapenos as an extra which really added to the dish). Food was served lovely and hot, very fresh, extra tasty, great fries- couldn’t fault it whatsoever. Drinks were great too and prices are very reasonable. The pub itself feels like a real, proper pub with friendly, hardworking staff and very nice locals. Everything very clean and well looked after. Great ambience- very relaxing visit. Thank you to all of the staff for a great meal and drinks- we will definitely be back when we are next moored here.

Lovely food and great service. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food was beautiful.

Awesome for good prices and dog friendly

Food is always good and the staff are lovely in particular Emma who served us on Monday and Tuesday. It's our goto place at the moment Well done "The Broughton"

We’ve just had a lovely evening at the Broughton Arms. A warm and friendly welcome, fab atmosphere and great food! Thank you Team Broughton Arms 👍🏻

I dont know why this review has been republished as this was my view 3 yrs ago but not now As of today I like the pub and staff its so improved

This is our favourite Sunday lunch venue. Great value food served with a smile.

Although they were very busy the service was excellent

Was looking forward to coming back as we had a great time here when visited 2 years ago. The staff were friendly and helpful. I had the lighter lunch of fish and chips which was very nice. However my husband ordered the rump steak, medium rare, and swopped his peas for mushrooms due to an intolerance. His steak was well done, his mushrooms were awful and his chips were cold. The front of house staff did offer to replace with new meal but we wanted to eat our meals together not separately. Frankly his meal was inedible. A full refund was provided for his meal and also a complimentary pint of beer.

Dropped in by chance, family group of 8. Whilst busy, staff very accommodating and found us space. Good choice of menu including children's variety. Very knowledgeable and helpful with children's food tolerance query. Very tasty food, good service throughout provided at a reasonable price in extremely clean, tidy comfortable premises.

Great location and good atmosphere outside. Going inside nicely laid out seating areas without seeming sitting on top of one another. Nice selection of beers and menu looked appealing. Had the Rump steak cooked perfectly for me whilst partner had traditional fish and chips which was great tasting. Overall pleasant experience and would call again.

What a great place to stop (we were in moho) and have delicious supper. Meat eating husband said the burger was the best he’d had in a long time. I had the house salad and marie rose topping lovely and fresh. We were there on a Tuesday, Pub Quiz night, so book a table early. Stay for pub quiz, we did and had such a laugh. Friendly attentive staff and locals too.

Lovely location next to the canal, with plenty of outside seating. Great food and helpful, friendly staff.

Great food and drink, atmosphere friendly. Staff couldn’t do enough for us when ordering and paying for meal.

A lovely little pub situated in a quaint village next to a canal, with amazing outdoor facilities for the summer and a really good menu with loads of choice. The team are all superb and its long standing manager really looks after the place. We heard it looks amazing when it’s lit up at Christmas too, so we fully intend to pay a visit for a Christmas meal. Thanks for looking after us.

Fantastic pub, you even get free cheese on a Sunday from 8pm

Three of us meet every Monday for lunch and are always greeted warmly with a smile. Food is consistently great with a good choice , I particularly like the small plate option. We always bring our dogs as do alot of other folk. A nice pub for walkers as it sits on the canal. All in all ticks all the boxes!

Fantastic food and service from the lovely ladies today. Will definitely return. Thank you

Lovely meal excellent service.. will definitely return.. Friendly staff..Thank you

friendly pub good service will come again we Come once a week, great food and service

Visited today for my granddaughters birthday excellent service and delicious food.. Definitely recommend

Went today for Sunday lunch booked our table for 130 .we have never been before so looking forward to lunch on arrival were shown to our table pleasant lady . One of us wanted beef the other turkey but upon ordering were told no beef and no turkey!!!! What it's 145 and you have run out !!! it wasn't mega busy so why. not a good start to our first visit so we changed I had the roast chicken hubby had burger sister had the pie .I have to say the food was very nice hot and plenty off it .but it wouldhave been better if we had been told on arrival about the lack of meats ,!!! We did get a discount for the disappointment so enjoyable but a little disappointing

Lovely visit, great food and lovely surroundings. Staff were excellent as always. Carl and Pam run a fantastic place! Recommend booking in advance as it can be very very busy!

Great, dog friendly pub, with a beautiful canal side setting! Amazing food! Highly recommend!

Amazing pub.. food was brilliant and the staff always look after you will be back soon

Visited this evening with my family as was passing by. Decided to sit in the garden and have food. Lovely setting with great food and drink. Will be back

Great place for food and drinks all the staff are lovely and very helpful. Great with allergies too! Will be back to visit again soon!

Came in tho other day very good customer service and good food definitely recommend

Would highly recommend this local

Fantastic food and service, have visited multiple times and never had a bad meal!! Always well looked after by Alex! A great all rounder pub with lovely views of the canal too!

Staff were so friendly and the place is so beautiful, I definitely recommend going there for celebrations, drinks or just dinning out with the family

Lovely place to visit. Nice food and the service was great! Will be back again

Carl is a legend, great pub and the cheese boards are always on point

Great pub to stop off for a pint of cask ale next to the canal on a walk. Dog friendly and lovely food. Would recommend.

Popped in for a quick pint whilst walking the dog and ended up staying for lunch. Couldn't fault the service as Mel went above and beyond. Would happily recommend if you're in the area and will definitely be returning.

This was a second stop to the Broughton Arms, on our way to Scotland and back. Not only did we stay overnight with our motorhome, we had a cheery welcome, our food was outstanding, piping hot and so tasty. Also they were dog friendly. If we are ever visiting again we will definitely be calling in.

It would seem my post got overwritten with ‘nothing to share’ so to correct I wrote that my food was only Luke warm and the chicken didn’t have any chili taste. What was meant to be a kebab was served on flat bread that resulted in being soggy. Would have been better served looking like a kebab and hot and bread to the side!

We were staying in our boat and visited with my brother in law. The food was good value and tasty. The service was very good and staff were very friendly. It’s dog friendly too. Definitely recommend

Lovely roast dinner,lots of meat vege Selection good and crispy roasties!!Yum

Warm and welcoming. Will definitely return.

We came for Sunday lunch after a recommendation from a friend who lives in Rode Heath and it was amazing. Really nice tender beef with homemade roasties, Yorkshire puddings and 4 fresh veg with lovely gravy. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Great selection of ales especially the Wainwright and 61 Deep. This will now be our family Sunday roast go place. Really good pub

The beer is always good and never had a poor drink of beer at the Broughton , this time my mate and me had sausage and mash because I had had this once before and it was then really good , this time I am afraid it was not very good the sausages seemed over cooked (not burnt though) and the gravy had a greasy taste to it which we both picked up on . The sweet desert was very good , the waitress was very polite and professional . We have no problem going back for a meal here but it won’t be sausage and mash .
