Best pub in the town by far! Great staff and very sociable & friendly atmosphere all week round. They will often host great bands with an energetic atmosphere. The bands vary in relation to genre of music each time. I always enjoy their killer pool nights on a Friday from 08:30pm which is fun and competitive. A multitude of sports events throughout the week in a very smart sport bar also. Always guaranteed a lovely meal from a great chef who provides an amazing & diverse menu with an excellent portion size. Would recommend to any friendship groups looking for a pub with energy, great & various drinks & food!

I am a regular customer customer I like the atmosphere and the friendly ness I always find . The land lady always goes above and beyond. I recently had my mums wake here . I can’t thank Lisa enough it was perfect . I also love the fact that Lisa does a lot for the local community. It’s certainly a community pub

Great play area for the kids and very clean. Lovely outdoor space to drink and chill. The food is home cooked and excellent value for money. My steak was cooked to perfection and the chips are, as promised, hand cut, really chunky and tasty. My husband had the gammon stack. The plate was almost the size of our front door. Excellent service, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. Can’t recommend enough. Lots of choice on the menu too.

Such a friendly and welcoming place which I have visited many times over the years! New owner took over last year and it went downhill massively! Since the old owners are back, the pub is back to normal, with that familiar family feeling! Great for families with the play area outside and is also dog friendly which is great! Best pub in crewe.

Staff need to look like they actually want to be there, stop texting and looking bored, stop staring at customers especially when eating,.clean kitchen things properly, stop leaving the bar unattended as customers are having to let staff no as they aren't there that there is customers at the bar, there's one lady there who works her butt off then the others slack. Great pub for socialising just a shame the old landlord can't come back!

The place has not been refurbished since it was built in the 90’s, modified yes, but a lot of the original fixtures and fittings still remain. It’s a tired looking pub in need or some serious refurbishment, and a good clean. In an attempt to revive the place over the years, it’s tried to become all things to all people. Unfortunately the gimmicks and ‘theme’ nights wont work if you can smell the toilets whilst sitting in the lounge. It appears that vaping / smoking indoors is also acceptable if you are mates with the owners. The place needs a serious refurb and an owner with a clear vision of what they want to offer.

Decided to try my local pubs food last night (Thursday ) and was very pleasantly surprised on a couple of levels. Firstly the quality of the food was far better than I was expecting, and the value was even better. If you choose a meal from the Grille range, that includes a drink, a pint of Strongbow in my case, thus making the meal about £2.50. It truly is great value for money and not half bad food served up. So, go give it a go, I bet you won’t be disappointed! Just another note, the service was very good also.Chris Holiday

Great atmosphere at the weekends, has jukebox, sky sports, pool and darts board. Some staff are ok, one or two actually go out of their way to talk to you and make you feel welcome. Unfortunately there was a bit of trouble whilst we were eating our bargain meal (micro chips actually tasted better) but we had front row seats to see what was going on. Seems the landlady likes to think herself as a landlady out of a soap opera and her husband/ partner seems to love to carry the trouble on- raising his voice and actually use force instead of trying to calm a situation down on a Saturday tea time even when young children are playing and running round the pub.Is this a family pub? No way. Some children actually look older then the bar staff.Food? No, stick to the drink. I opted for a dinner and the quality (even for a bargain meal) wasn't very good. I complained to the landlady but after the trouble she rolled her eyes and passed me onto a young boy behind the bar who looked like the world was on his shoulders so I left the food.But like I said if its somewhere to drink with friends I would deffinitly recommend, have I been back since? No.

Just had lunch. I had a steak and my partner had cajun chicken. To start with the chicken came out wrong and we had to send it back. The waitress was very apologetic and explained they have just changed the menu. The problem was fixed. The steak was nice however it was really over done i would recommend asking for it to be cooked less than you usually would. The bar lady/waitress was fantastic and really friendly cannot fault the service and for the tiny amount of money it costs for a meal here we will give it another go for sure!!

Went to our local last night. Ordered a burger and curry deal. Curry was good. Burger was so over cooked it was hard on outside. As the price is cheap we went too bothered. There was no table check to see if all was ok. Went to order puddings and were told they had closed as they were short staffed. Only had 1 server on and he could not serve a dozen people at the bar, most of them had full drinks and serve food as well. We were not informed that they had closed food and this is not the first occasion this had happened. The manager had also decided to take the evening off leaving one poor lad on his own. He was apologetic but we were v disappointed as we wanted to make an evening of it. The coop across the road had our business instead.

Went as a family for Sunday lunch, Menus on tables offered a 2 for £8.49 deal, only to be told that the offer had finished, so why was it still on all the tables? Ordered Sunday roast, but could only offer chicken or turkey. Waited 45 mins for food, the meal was probably microwaved with undercooked vegetables, tough breast of chicken, on the bone (not sliced as expected) and bland just cooked roast potatoes. The staff serving were totally uninterested in being helpfull. One lunch had been ommited from our order, and we had to wait another 45mins for one more roast lunch to arrive. Only one of our group (5 of us) ordered a pudding, part of the lunch 2 course deal, and that took an age to come and had to be requested several times. When it arrived , it contained synthetic sqirty cream and not fresh as expected. All in all a very poor lunch in what culd be made a good place to eat. I have eaten in many 'marston' pubs and never been disappointed until now.

This place has a vast amount of things for children to play on. However don’t expect to get food quick- they have two cage areas but one is never open and the other has a constant huge queue because the staff take forever! Even if you want drinks you have to queue with the food and last time we queued for 25 minutes! Ridiculous when you have children to supervise and feee!

The most appalling 'meal' and service that I have ever been subjected to. We ordered steak and ale pie and this was brought out to us and placed on our table and described as a pie. However, there was absolutely no pastry, just a bit of gravy in a dish. When I called the waiter back he said 'to be honest, we've ran out of pastry' - are these people for real? To add insult to injury, the manager actually tried to charge us for the pies we never received!!!! Shambolic and not for the first time, but definitely for the last. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME/MONEY!!!!

Average food more like a pub, raw onion in the scotch egg bhaji, bang bang cauliflower poor, fish and chips were tiny and fish dry. So over priced for below average food.
