The Lodge in Cheshire West and Chester

Visited here to meet family a few months ago and has now become our regular go to for food even though we have a Flaming Grill next to where we live we prefer to travel here the food is always good and there is a wide range of drinks and offers the car park is large and the beer garden is very large with a large TV but the thing that makes this pub is the staff, they are all absolutely amazing it is probably one of the friendliest places/pubs I have ever been to they make you feel so welcome and always have time to stop and have a chat even when busy. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Come here with family excellent service from the girls behind the bar Meg and Sam nothing was to much for them and the chef done a excellent job Sarah and Casey

Came today for the first time, food was really nice and decent portions, Was definitely worth the trip The biscoff cheesecake was amazing Definitely recommend

Great place to eat and drink. Clean, well manged and friendly. The food is excellent value for money and the beer is well kept.

This is a brilliant pub to come to. You can't beat it. The food is always amazing and a really good price. Lots of screens for sport, although if you want a quiet meal and beer, it's not overshadowed by any sport. It's not too loud. Special shout out to Nicole who's always friendly as are all the staff. I would highly recommend.

Fabulous service from Meghan, nothing was too much for her she’s always happy to help! Would highly recommend to friends and family

Love this pub, our local that's a 5 minute walk from our house. Staff are always friendly, good beer and have had some really good nights out here

Great venue, tv’s everywhere to watch the footy. Food was amazing as always and Chrissie, such a lovely young lady. Took time out of her busy day to have a chat with us after we’d finished our meals. Every place needs a Chrissie 🥰. She nearly shed a tear when I gave her a tip lol.

Wednesday evening Sarah was very interesting and looked really happy in her job I have been here a few times and had a nice evening. I have given all five ⭐️ just one thing let it down bar staff looked very unhappy.

Fantastic good had mushroom garlic cheese bake chips peas and gravy delicious

Good honest pub good at a very affordable price

We went on a Sunday, never again it was very busy with people watching the football match, the food took over half an hour to come and when it did we noticed the portions were much smaller than they had been, they were like child portions, had pint of ipa which tasted funny then made me bit ill later. Usually really happy with the place but not today.

Staff are so rude and negligent!! Me and my mum went out for a couple of drinks and weren't planning on staying too long. They had an event on and were encouraged by staff to stay and get involved. Afrer a few hours they continued to serve us drinks and then 5 minutes later asked us to leave and decided that getting in our face would help in this situation. They literally served us drinks and then 5 minutes later got in our face and told us to leave which I just thought so strange! And to leave our drinks that we just paid for as we coulnt leave with them and we couldnt drink them on the premesis and then leave. The bar staff just switched on us putting everyone in a horrible situation!! No professionalism whatsoever!!. They wouldn't allow us to stay to finish the drinks and continued to get more angry at the consequences of their own actions as they were fine to serve us ten minutes prior at this point. The point is maybe keep an eye on your customers before it gets to that point, refuse to serve and then tell them to leave. Or at leat allow customers to finish their drink before being told to leave for no good reason!!! We were happy to leave especially after the torrent of abuse we were getting!! It was the principle and the way it was handled!! Staff are on a huge power trip!! I've seen multiple comments like this. We will never be returning!!

Ok, place clean and tidy staff pleasant ,we did book as it was our anniversary however when we arrived we were told we could sit anywhere .Certain items on the menu are only available on certain days but still a good choice . Just had an issue with the pudding, but the issue was solved quickly .

We have visited The Lodge now several times over the year. We are a family of 4 and budgeting meals out is important. There are 4 things going for this place - the food is always good, the staff are always friendly, the place is always clean. …and the cost is always amazing. We are always blown away by how cheap this is for the quality. It can be hit and miss sometimes, for instance my peppercorn sauce was spot on tonight but it has been gloppy sometimes. ….but it is never short of the mark. The food is always good. The steak is always spot on and cooked to order. The kids love it and always makes a nice mid week meal out and we’ve had some lovely times going out with other families over the weekend. The place is great value for a family and there is nothing in Northwich that beats this place …highly recommend ! You have to remember this is a Greene King and not the Ritz, but they do it well and worth a visit.

The cat that lives here makes this a 5*!

The Lodge has great food and really lovely, helpful staff! Super consistent, and very good prices/offers. The environment is pretty nice, too.

This is a wonderful place to eat the staff are simply amazing Angie Aaron & lovely Meg & all the staff are just the best.. thankyou all for making us feel like part of you family.

Frist time in the lodge was very nice place and parents liked the food maybe just try and do small meals for elderly people

Staff very friendly and attentive, food good, our third time in a week, nice atmosphere.

Nocoal was our server, exalt service 10 out of 10

Had a fantastic time the girl to served us was every helpful and polite thank you nikcol

Good selection of food & decent quality. We ordered the food via the app. Staff are friendly. The park could do with a refresh for the children. Lots of tables outside so it’s perfect for a drink in the summer.

Went Sunday Wine excellent. Had vegan burger really good. Price very good. Couldn't fault it.

Good food and decent service but not dog friendly. Dogs are not allowed in the pub and outside there’s very very few shaded tables to sit at and no water dishes for dogs.

Well priced food and good pub. Decent gluten free options as well

Great food good atmosphere very friendly helpful staff

Not improved since I was last here.

First time back after a long time away. Food very good, service excellent but the restaurant looked just a wee bit tired! Otherwise good value for our meal and we'll probably be back quite soon.

Family Surprise, booked here for a wedding reception that had been kept a secret from the family, the lodge helped with every small detail the staff were so attentive and nothing was too much trouble, I have been here several times before this but I will be making this our regular restaurant to visit.

Staff are always lovely and up for a chat. Food is tasty and affordable although we miss the waffle fries (rip 😭)

Fantastic value brilliant service an tastie food and some of the deals in the week are great value for anyone in times of cost of living problems you cannot go wrong for a treat

Big screen in the back for the England game was great. Shame about the result. The pitch at the front was great for kids. Might be worth investing in some new nets!!

Cheap and cheerful, never had a bad meal.

Food was good, lively atmosphere

Love this place food cheap and cheerful, and the staff are lovely, and Atmosphere is good.

Nice atmosphere, foods always great and nice staff. Highly recommend

What a gem this place is. Food was excellent, I had mushroom onion and garlic flan and it was delicious. Great prices, good pint of peroni. Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended

Cassie and her team always welcoming and pleasant. Food gorgeous as ever

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit here.

Or coach trip has stopped here on the way home from Aintree the last couple of years , food is fantastic, staff are awesome . A great find , we will be back !

Food is next level and the staff are fantastic.

Enjoyed food Staff werent the best didnt crack a smile Some foid wasnt available but was ok Enjoyed what i had 😊

Just a local boozer, shows sport etc, has pool table for older kids - the food however blew me away, way better than expected, similar to Hickory's for a fraction of the price & the staff were so nice!

Brilliant service great food definitely be back again soon 👍

Had a lovely lunch, food was great!

Very friendly and helpful staff, great value food, good access and parking for wheelchair!

Getting tired of trying to book a table on the phone. I have tried several times to book a table for 6 of us and each time the phone is cancelled. This is rudness and arrogant.

5 stars all the way ! The food and service here are excellent! … the staff are extremely helpful and go above and beyond to ensure that you have the best experience as a customer…they create an amazing atmosphere which is welcoming and second to none … best pub in Northwich on all counts highly recommend!!!

Great pub with a good selection of food and drinks and usually has special offers especially during the week. Pub is very spacious, relatively clean with friendly service. Would definitely visit again

Had a lovely afternoon here to watch the Rugby with my partner and little boy whilst on a weekend getaway. Staff were extremely friendly, great atmosphere and we were made to feel very welcome. Our boy is only 19 months so struggles to sit still but the staff weren’t fazed by him needing to wonder up and down. When additional people came in and wanted to watch the football, we were still able to watch the rugby alongside. Highly recommend.

Nicola was extremely helpful and friendly when we had a problem! What a great team member!

Amazing food, amazing service. Can't fault.

Great atmosphere, staff very friendly. I noticed Nickole is a hard worker

Lovely friendly place food and service was excellent

Disappointed with the dessert l ordered, jelly and custard cheesecake with icecream and broken meringue. The picture on menu had large meringue pieces, all that was on mine was meringue dust in the bottom of the bowl.every disappointed.

Good food, friendly helpful staff, good range of beers and a large car park.

Service was lovely nicola at the bar even helped carry our drinks to the table for us

We went for mother's day. It was very good. and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I go here again 10/10 service very good and foid excellent

The staff were attentive, and pleasant. The food was good, and reasonably priced. The place was dark, and not very welcoming.

Ordered a main , and also 2 sides , when food came out it was all put onto one plate

A very quiet afternoon, food well presented and hot. A lovely atmosphere, 2nd visit, last week was half term and so much more busier. The offer of 2 main course meals for £11.99p is really good value for money. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you to all the staff.

Hi. We came In last night 18 of us to celebrate my sons 21st birthday. I just wanted to thank you very much. Food was beautiful and the service couldn't of been better. Nothing was too much trouble, plus service with a smile. Will 100% be returning and recommending. Thank you again. Lorna Moffat.

Best pub in northwich!!!! staff are amazing with the kids. Good verity of food on the menu which dosnt break the bank. Meghan is also very helpful if you need anything and always makes sure the customers have everything they need

Have only had a meal on a couple of occasions but found it great value for money. They do a decent selection of lagers at varied prices, with the carlsberg being a particular favourite of mine. It's a crisp cool pint and under £3 you can't go wrong. I've always found the staff friendly and approachable with nothing being to much trouble. The atmosphere is always very layed back and they cater for those wishing to watch the sport, (the front of the pub) and those wishing to eat, towards the rear. They do this well as the pub is of a decent size unlike other establishments where trying to cater for both doesn't really work. The fact they now open at 11am each day is also a plus as I'm out and about most mornings and this gives me somewhere to venture if I choose. Keep up the good work, a happy punter. Andy

I visited The lodge on the 9th February with my partner and my grandson when we arrived the pub had a good atmosphere with a mix of all ages. There were younger ones playing pool, and families having meals an other people just enjoying their drinks. We found a free table an browsed the menu which had a very good selection , my grandson wanted mac n cheese , I chose the ribeye steak and my partner had chose a cheeseburger. I went to the bar and was served by a young lady called Nicola who asked if we wanted any starters or sides to go with our meals to which I replied we were fine, she asked if we wanted any drinks I ordered coke zeros, she was very polite and asked if we wanted a tab incase we wanted to order desserts after our meal so I did and then waited for my food. We didn't wait long before our food arrived the food looked delicious the waitress asked if she could get us any sauces and we tucked in. The chef had really done a great job the food was great my grandson ate every last bit of his meal an keeps asking when we can go again so looks like the big yellow M place isn't his favourite anymore 😀 ! Thanks for a great meal we will definitely be coming back !

Staff were very helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble , definitely going again .

Sunday lunch for my birthday with hubby curtesy of our 2 kids and our in laws. Really enjoyable will def go again.

Update 2022: Still the same! Service is outstanding on a cold icy wintery night Good service, good food and great ale.

Great location for a get together for family and friends.

Much improved on previous visits, really friendly staff and tasty food

Love this pub, we come here every month for our tea after visiting the garden centre just down the road. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Service is great and the food is very nice, great value and lots of great special deals on the menu throughout the week.

Massive thank you to all the staff at the winnington lodge for fantastic service provided excellent traditional pub food served in a warm and friendly atmosphere food served all day at affordable rates the Biscoff cheese cake is a must 😋 As well as plenty of ales available on draft the lodge is perfect for any celebration or occasion would definitely recommend a visit for food and celebrations

Great staff and food always a friendly warm welcome

Had a share platter but did not enjoy but it was very busy and hardly any staff but the staff that were their we really nice and helpful

4 stars as it was not that visit but previous visits 5 in all 3 food is really good and good value

We came here to watch the football. It had a lively atmosphere and was very bustling. I booked a table which had a great view of the screen. The food was ok and there was a decent selection for everyone. The pub was also child friendly and had a kids corner. I would definitely recommend for watching sports. The staff were lovely.

I've recently started coming here with my daughter for lunch at the weekends and holidays. It's a great place loads of room inside and what looks like a massive outdoor seating area and sports viewing area (a giant screen, it must be great atmosphere in when the weather is good). One good thing is that it's a Greene King pub, so I get to use my Veteran's discount, and they accept the blue light discount too. The food is really nice. (We go to the White Barn in Cuddington quite a lot and the food is still similar), however it has the all the sizzling steaks, more burger options and lots of other extra stuff too. We love the Halloumi and loaded fries and you have try a sizzling steak on a bed of peppers and onions. The facilities are really clean and well maintained. The staff are all friendly, today they were a Halloween event and bingo for kids which all the kids looked like they really enjoyed it. There's an outdoor play area and loads of outdoor seating. It's easy to get to and loads of parking. Well worth the visit.

Lovely food ,staff go out of there way to help you.. Meghan was so helpful ..fantastic place had a lovely birthday there ❤️

First ever visit to a busy, but seemingly very well run and popular pub / restaurant. Extremely good service and nicely cooked hunter's chicken and perfect medium rare steak. Live music later on and an overall really good experience.

Absolutely outstanding food and service all around. It was that good when I visited on Sunday that I decided to cancel a reservation elsewhere and took my friend. Aaron, the barman & Meghan who served our food, we're very welcoming and friendly 😀 Great pub food with a great atmosphere. I'll most definitely be returning

Their food is amazing I've been to The Lodge like 10 and I always get something different and it's always lovely .

Get the rib, massive and beautiful.

the scampi was really nice the chicken wings were amazing the stake was more fat than stake but the worse part was the 40 minutes wait from ordering to the meal being served their wasn't that many people in when I asked why it was taking that long all I was told was its coming

Good pub grub great for Sports and Entertainment

Lovely place friendly staff and good food with a varied menu x

Thanks for letting us stay on your carpark it was very nice

Staff were friendly and accommodating when we had to change our order.

Fourth time here and still a lovely experience and amazing food.

We love coming to the lodge with our family. We have two little ones and always feel so comfortable here. The staff are brilliant with the kids, and the food is always great too. Cassie, Meghan, Sarah and Natalie are all fab!

What a fantastic venue this is. Set in a huge old black and white former stately home and large grounds with lots of parking spaces to the front and an expansive beer garden to the rear. I visited multiple occasions with friends to watch the live football on their multitude of TV screens scattered around the venue and sample one of their MANY different beers which range from £2.30 to £5.10 a pint. On the occasions I visited with my wife and two young children we have eaten there from their expansive but regularly changing menu with their food being better than reasonable and service quick to one of their many tables inside or out. The children live playing out back in and around their enclosed woodland areas or in their small play area. To finish I'd like to mention the staff who are all friendly and welcoming and all want to help. I remember one time my 6 year old dropped her just delivered fish and chips on the floor smashing the plate and resigned to having to go and buy another one I was told that the chef said that I wasn't to pay and that he would replace it for me free of charge! Such a lovely gesture. I highly recommend this place for everyone.

Wanted to grab something to eat whilst my partner was at the nearby minor injuries.Arrived at 11.50 to find they didn't open until 12 fair enough.Waited until 5 past along with many others who had been waiting or been and gone in that time.They lost a lot of money between us all through sheer laziness.

Don’t have the Ceaser Salad £15 for a bowl of lettuce sadly lacking

Food was great. Not too expensive and great deals on the menu. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend calling in if your in the location.

Food was disappointing this time. Tepid fish and chips and a very small portion of mushy peas. Where was the lemon? Afterwards, I went up for some coffees. They had to ask the kitchen if they had any milk? Very odd? The response was that they'd run out. At 3 in the afternoon?

Toilets need some care . Loo roll not on top of the holder .as falls to the floor .

We use the Lodge for our Nortwich Guitar Club socials and I am never disappointed. Good food great prices , very relaxed atmosphere and they have Deperado !!! What's not to like

Had the mixed grill bbq sharer, this would give Hickories a run for its money at half the price, great atmosphere, the perfect stop off for a Monday scran.

Wonderfull placed. Meals are very delicious. Personels are very kind

I went out with family for sisters birthday meal and the vegetarian choice is very poor. They when I finally chose something from the 4 meals I have to choose from only the burger available. I think more research needs to be done into vegetarian meals and we don't all like cheese or spicy food. Last time I was there the meal I chose was a veg kebab which was nice but the only thing that let it down was having to eat the corn on a cob with my hands. Still the choice was poor. They are so many meals you could make that are vegetarian or vegan and meat substitutes are easy to find now a days. It just ruined the afternoon, having the actual 4 meals on the menu available would of helped and I would of given more stars.
