We held our sons 21st birthday party here. Marius welcomed us and was helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and the room was just right. The staff were very welcoming. I recommend if you have a celebration then consider here as a place to go

Really nice big place. Lots of seating and very modern. Food was really nice, presented beautifully. Was cold in there tho, but it’s a big place to heat.

I do enjoy going to the Cookhouse. However, despite there not being that many people in, we waited a long time for our food. I think most of us enjoyed the food - three of us had peas with our meal, and they were cold, but just ate them as we were very hungry by then. We as a family did have a carvery in December, which I would definitely recommend. It was also a bit confusing, there is an offer on for January with 20% off food and drinks, but not if you have the early bird offer of two courses for £10.95 (or that is what we understood it to be). Overall, a nice enough place with nice enough food.

Myself and my partner and family went to the cookhouse a couple of times during December, both experiences were brilliant, food was of high standard and excellent, the staff were lovely and were extremely helpful, every need was met by the staff, would always recommend the cook house to friends and family and will definitely be back. 👍🏼

We came to see in the new year and have a meal and listen to the music act. The music was great but stopped at 10pm. This puzzled myself and my husband who thought,like last year,the entertainment would run on to see in the new year. Sadly we decided to contact our friends who were due to join us and went and met them at home to see in the new year with each other. We felt let down as the atmosphere dropped when the musician stopped. We're not bothering this year if this is going to be the case now not worth it. Sad really as the Cookhouse is a great place with lovely staff.

Unfortunately I have to echo the negative reviews expressed concerning the 2023 Christmas meal experience/day. Firstly, the mild positives were the food was actually decent & we don’t necessarily blame the staff who were obviously under a lot of pressure that day. But there was no communication from any higher up management (who we are going to assume are responsible for the ridiculous overbooking). Profit before people. Though the food was good we still have to leave the lowest rating. The organisation & communication was awful, absolutely no space to move at tables which were positioned far too close to each other, the waiting & lack of information on service for people (wasn’t even told where to get tea/coffee and just the over-all lack of Christmas sprit/vibe (poor music etc). You could argue this overbooking was actually a health & safety concern. No thoughts for disabled. Shame for the staff members who were actually trying to make the day better.Left without tea and coffee and not in the Christmas spirit. Unfortunately we will not be returning next year.

My friends and I went for Christmas dinner on Christmas Day, although the food was nice, we were crammed in like sardines, far too many squeezed in. There was 5 of us, 1 in a wheelchair, crammed on a 4 seater table, back to back. The wheelchair was backed on to a walk through so it was bumped in to constantly, as it was a carvery so people were getting their dinner trying not to drop anything squeezing past tables as-well as the queue at the bar. This really spoiled our experience, never again.

We arrived and was greeted with a lovely smile - it went down hill from there. Initially told that the only meal not available on the menu was the beef stroganoff. Upon ordering, I asked for a draft beer, to the reply of - “Sorry No Draft”. I changed my order to a polish bottled beer. My wife asked for a Malibu and Coke - reply “We don’t have!” We then shown the waitress Malibu on the drinks list and pointed to the bottle behind the bar. I ordered the Babushska Special - which was recommended and I had the response - “We don’t have!” At this point I asked for 5 more minutes to have another look at the menu and asked the waitress to start with the drinks. The waitress returned with the drinks and as my wife was looking at the bottled beer I’d ordered she noticed the beer was out of date! It was at this point I decided to abandon ship and head for the Thai place up the road! Such a shame as the vibe and atmosphere was nice. This is now of our restaurant list.

I decided today that I want something more exciting for lunch apart from my bland chicken sandwich and 2 apples. I came out of the office and walked across the bus way and saw a colleague of mine standing at the bus stop having some fresh air. He asked where I was going, so I told him that I was looking to go somewhere for a sandwich for lunch. He suggested Co-op or Iceland, but then he said that I should go into Monk's delicatessen. He said he had some great sandwiches from there and their ingredients were very fresh and the manager frequently gave him the end of the ham, saying that it would be too stringy to put through the slicer. I decided to go to Monk's on his recommendation. The staff were very warm znd welcoming and were very attentive when I mentioned my dairy intolerance. They ran me down the ingredients they used to fill the sandwiches and there were many meats, cheeses and extensive salad ingredients too. The staff told me what had milk products in and what didn't. I chose brown bread, 3 types salami, roast ham and all of the salad. I also selected an Oasis summer fruits bottle. It all came to £6.20. My colleague said that the costs would be comparable with Co-op or Iceland sandwiches. I thought on average the price was slightly more expensive. However, the price of the sandwich was only £5 and matched the freshness of ingredients and was very filling. The saltiness of the ham and the spiciness of the chorizo complimented each other with the freshness of the salad ingredients which cut through the smokiness of the meat. It was incredible value compared to the packaged sandwiches of the other local shops. The sandwich was 'fit' and 'to die for' as I described it back to my colleagues in the office. From the first bite to the last, the freshness of ingredients and the smokiness and spiciness of the meats were delightful and certainly did more than fill the void in my stomach that normally my bland chicken sandwich did. Incredibly friendly and attentive staff and beautiful hand made fresh sandwiches which I definitely would return if I needed a tasty sandwich for lunch. Thank you very much and keep on making!

I hate motorway services breakfast and the prices. I found Sizzlers Runcorn and enjoyed the best fry up I've had in ages. The ladies are chatty and helpful.

This is a quaint and cute tearoom with an Alice in Wonderland theme. The food is always good quality and the staff are friendly. As it’s near my office I visit regularly
