The Olde Barbridge Inn in Cheshire East

Friendly welcome from all of the staff Food was awesome, large portions and reasonable prices. Would definitely go there again 👍

Excellent Sunday roast next to the Shropshire Union Canal.

Steak and ale pie as usual was delicious. Never had a better one anywhere else. Excellent food. Excellent service. Very relaxing atmosphere. We go here every year when we are out on our canal boat.

Very slow service. The food was nice but I don't know why you ask for notes on the booking if you don't do anything about them. My daughter's 18th and moving into college, they could have at least acknowledged her

I ordered wild mushroom quiche with a side of chips (there was no mention of a side salad) when the food arrived I was disappointed that my quiche was 3 tiny circular quiche bites, the sort you get in a box of party nibbles!! There was coleslaw and salad on the plate (which would have been good) but, both were covered in mustard dressing !! So couldn't eat those and the chips were very much like chip shaped boiled potatoes, anaemic and tasteless. My husbands battered fish was also really greasy. Sorry Barbridge, lovely pub and setting though.

Food delicious My dogs enyo dog food menu Highly recommend to visit

Enjoyed my meal here. The pub was quiet due to it being an afternoon in the middle of the week but can imagine it gets very busy. An ideal location being placed right next to the canal. A good choice of food which came in a good time and wasn't bad. Certainly not the best pub food I have had but was adequate. Good selection of beers on from Beartown brewery which was a nice surprise and good to see pubs getting more local beers in. Would definitely try this pub again.

Nice place for a drink by the canal, but the food was very expensive and not good enough to justify the cost.

Great place to stop for a boat.

Popped in for a drink, food looks good but didn't have time for a meal.

A pub along the canal. The atmosphere is good and the staff's service is great.

Food was pretty pleasant… but wouldn’t call this a gastropub… Super friendly service. Unfortunately place smelled of urine and then febreeze…. Toilet doors should be kept shut!!!

On a canal boat and booked ahead with intention of mooring here. Lovely place right on canal, nice atmospheres and great service. Great menu and our food was superb - fantastic experience and highly recommended.

Just called in as we were passing after a family day out and needed a table for 9. They quickly set up some tables for us followed by food and drinks. The service was excellent and the food was just as good. A mixture of Sunday lunches, burgers and salmon, all of which were hot, tasty, full of flavour and good portions. It was a great find and we all look forward to going back again, we all agreed one of the nicest meals we have had in a long time. We have been back a number of times and just had Sunday lunch yesterday. Absolutely spot on, all very tasty and cooked perfectly.

Exactly what we've been looking for,so relaxing and lovely people looking after us.

Ordered cheese & pickle sandwich, sweet chilli chicken wrap, tea & latte. Just wanted a light bite and watch the boats go by. Latte the milk was sour, had to send it back. Cheese & pickle sandwich stale and hard, salad brown & floppy, Chicken wrap 4 pieces of chicken loads of chilli, floppy lettuce coleslaw runny No homemade cooked for here, all just processed.

We were on our way home to Chester and fancied Sunday lunch, decided to choose here, off the beaten track but signposted, past a few times so we came in and gave it a go, Wow, excellent roast, 7 different veg,a massive y/pudd and mash plus roasties, fabulous value and very filling, will definitely be back, great location by the canal marina too.

Consistent in its service. The food is always good, the service always friendly. You are sure of it when you make the effort to go there.

We love this place we travel from liverpool to go for Sunday lunch it's the best staff are lovely it's a canalside pub it's lovely

Good food, good beer, and nice location. Friendly and helpful staff.

Wonderful service. The fish and chips were good but the sausage and mash potatoes stole my heart.

This was a very good experience. would highly recommend the Barbridge Inn

Great place to park up on the canal or the car park. Lovely staff and a great pint

Lovely spot, great food and service.

Lovey canal side pub.Lovely place to spend an hour or two sat outside watching the canal boats.

Food was ok. Bit on the expensive side. Lovely location.

We had been told by others on narrowboats the food was good and it didn't disappoint. Brilliant homemade and great Spicy Chilli.

Closed and in darkness well before 10.00 tonight. That's bad. You state your hours, keep to them. I've been calling here for many years. i will have to rethink this now. And I shall spread the word!

Excellent meal and lovely staff. Only thing was the table was very sticky.

First time visit and the last Place seems run down, tables outside falling apart Guinness was off, tasted chemical, left that Food was awful, stale brioche bun Chips were pale and hard Pointed this out to the waiter, just said "sorry about that " and walked off with the chips No replacement and ignored after that What a waste of £40 Not at all recommend

1 of my favourite pubs always helpful & clean & service with a smile 😃

Lovely atmosphere, made very welcome by staff and roast dinner was excellent. Would highly recommend a visit.

Gorgeous food, our server Charlie was absolutely lovely

Not to bad a place , we got there as it opened , very nice interior and a nice beer garden next to the canal , so great for gongozeling ,we ordered our food and had to wait a while , it wasn't to bad , the problem was there was a very large party of people right after we ordered our food so I knew it would take a while ,

Called in for lunch during a canal walk, was welcomed warmly, and served promptly. We both had the handmade beef burger and thoroughly enjoyed the burger and homemade chips. Will no doubt return.

Really lovely food, meet here a lot.

Nothing better then a cold pint on a sunny day in the beer garden

Ideally situated, by the canalside, I read the website to check on their menus. On arrival we found that the pub was almost empty. The menu we were given bore little resemblance to the ones on their website and they were no longer offering the pensioners two course lunch. The food was absolutely fine, and the service was good, but it didn't actually offer what the website promised. Sadly, I wouldn't want to go again as the pub has no atmosphere and the menu is very ordinary.

Lovely lady opened the doors as I approached with my Mum in her wheelchair. We had a nice table, near the door. Excellent menu, with lots of choice. The seafood spaghetti was amazing and the plaice was fresh and perfectly cooked. Puddings were lovely but very large! Attentive service without being intrusive. We will be back. Highly recommend.

Fabulous roast with all the trimmings. Highly recommend.

Great location, food tasty, service friendly but i think the picnic tables and benches are a joke. It was difficult to find a set that wasn’t dangerously wobbly. We noted other guests were moving round trying to find one that wasn’t on the edge of collapsing too. Gives a run down impression of the whole place. Shame.

Went with my sus in law for lunch. Beautuful day snd sat in garden overlooking canal. So lovely. Food was really nice. We both had Mediterranean vegetables with cheese on ciabatra. Lovely salad and coleslaw they put wholegrain mustard in. Genius. Gentleman who served us was vert friendly

Last night on the barge and popped in for an evening meal. Hadn't had fish all week so went for the Haddock and chips and wasn't disappointed. Large piece of white Haddock, with a lovely crispy batter, and the chips were superb, proper old fashioned fried chips. Dog freindly as well

Called in for a few beers, next to the canal, very dog friendly lovely staff and reasonable prices, will be back. Thanks 😀

Excellent Sunday Roast. Halloumi fries were great. And fritters tasted like American thanksgiving stuffing.

Best roast dinner I've ever had, the staff are brilliant, only called in on the off chance will be going back

Food was excellent young lady who served us really knew her job she was exceptional.Small down side tables very sticky due to cleaning spray build up Will definitely return and recommend

Really enjoyable meal with friends, sitting outside by the canal in the sun. Food was fresh and hot. Good portion sizes and decent quality. Keen to return again soon.

Expensive food, nice location by canal.

Great food but the staff put a dampner on it, they were quite rude to my guests when they arrived and wouldn't serve them at the bar. Would go back but staff really need to work on their attitude.

Great pub. Great beer. Great location and even better food. Steak and Ale pie is a must.

Great location next to canal, food was great nice home cooked chips 👌will call again.

Great food, so tasty but quite expensive but as the food is delicious you don't mind paying it

Great pub that's family friendly. Seated a family of 12 and food came quick

Absolutely lovely pub with excellent food and great service. We stopped on a long drive, bringing my daughter home from uni. We'll be making this a regular stop I think.

Great pub, lovely atmosphere, laid back helpful staff and superb chips!

Always pop in when passing on the canal. Had some great meals and lite bites. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Great canalsife pub with fabulous food. Lovely garden for when we occasionally get decent weather 😀. I definitely recommend a visit.

What a fantastic hidden gem...it's next to the canal,so a lovely beer garden with plenty of outdoor seating, we ordered the sharing platter between us and it was delicious.

Right on the canal with space to tie up over night. Nice food

Food was ok prices gone up since last time we were there and the menu has changed. The wine however was lovely. Nice central place for friends to meet

Great food and atmosphere on the bank of the canal

Popped in at lunchtime after a walk down the canal. Very quiet but staff friendly and accommodating. Normally only have a drink but decided to dine this time. The food was AMAZING! Was not expecting the food to be such good quality and value, we had a burger and steak sandwich. Will 100% be returning for food again. Bonus for having a large dog friendly area inside too!

Great service. Steak and Ale Pie very tasty, light pastry, lots of filling. Very large portion. Dog friendly.

Not suitable for disabled people

Great find on our canal holiday. Staff were incredibly welcoming and the food was delicious. The steak burger was great & highly recommended 👌🏼

Lovely food (especially the fish and chips). Attentive and friendly service makes this pub a great little find in the area

If it was possible to give 4.9 stars I would but that's only because this place is near perfect. The food, service and beer were all excellent and any blemishes aren't really worth a mention. Congratulations to a great front and back house team. Chef gets a special mention.

Met a group of friends here for a catch up, there were 7 adults and 5 large dogs. The pub was really busy as it was Easter weekend...so we were a little stressed trying to find seats/tables to accommodate the gang. That stress was totally alleviated by Katie, who was absolutely amazing in rearranging tables to allow us all to sit together.

Had a lovely meal here recently,service was very welcoming and the food was excellent, very tasty.

What a lovely pub the food was very nice as well.

Came for my Mums birthday with the family and was a wonderful night, greeted to a lovely member of staff with a big smile and so friendly and helpful!!! The food was so delicious we couldn't fault a thing, everything so fresh and tasty!!! Can't wait to go back and try out other items on the menu. Highly recommend 👌

Went today for Sunday lunch, was absolutely incredible. Sunday dinner plentiful, great mix of veg (not boring boiled carrots 😂) and beautiful gravy and Yorkshire.we had the beef and nut roast. Kids also throughly enjoyed their mini version! Will most definitely be back!

Nice to see this place still going after all these years. Sunday roast was absolutely superb. Delightful aspect looking out onto the cut. Food did take a while to come, but it was busy, to be fair. Only criticism was the 'we're a dog friendly pub' mentality. This apparently means that actual human customers are pretty much second class citizens, or so it would appear. I'm not a huge fan of being surrounded by others' mutts, but if they're well-behaved (seen and not heard) then that's fine. What I do object to is yapping whelps near the bar, and no action taken by staff to remind the owner/s that, out-of-control animals are not welcome. Case in point. Sunday lunchtime, some drunkard on his own downing pint after pint, swaying gently, circulating amongst tables, dog yapping loudly every five seconds. Other dog owners evidently thought this is both adorable and hilarious. It isn't. Owner not remotely bothered, staff ignored it. Though an establishment can't be expected to be responsible for the misbehaviour of selfish idiots' pets, a bit of enforcement regarding the accommodation of 'well-behaved dogs' wouldn't go amiss. As mentioned, food was faultless and I'd definitely go back. But please remember that just because you don't wish to be surrounded by dogs, doesn't necessarily mean that you should have to go elsewhere. A dog-free zone wouldn't hurt, either.

Never been disappointed by the food here, dog friendly too and has moorings for visiting canal boats (if you lucky!) which is a great positive when visiting by boat

Nice cosy and friendly pub . Great service and good food. First time we've visited, will definitely return. Would recommend

Excellent food I had the steak and ale pie the wife had Fish and chips the pie was one of the best I have ever eaten and to top it off buttered cabbage

Nice Sunday lunch with the family.

Fantastic food, amazing live music and a great atmosphere. Really enjoyed the wood fired pizza oven and watching the lead singer playing the base guitar. Was also great to be by the canal.

There were 4 of us, we had 2 beef Sunday lunches, the nut roast and open prawn sandwich. All the food was excellent, with brilliant service. Having tried several local pubs for Sunday lunch, this is easily at the top of the list!

Been here many times. Beautiful location on the canal with large garden (especially in summer). Food is exceptional and very good value for money. I have never been disappointed so quite often travel from the West Midlands to Nantwich just to visit here for food.

Lovely spot on the canal,great entertainment too,food not great paid 23.00 for an 8%wine! Had to ask for ice bucket! Just needs a few tweaks.

We had a great night at the Old Barbridge with Paul Larcombe as Elvis. We sang our hearts out, a great performer. The staff were well organised and friendly serving American diner food. A super night all round

Visited last Sunday for lunch . Had pre booked and advised we would have 4 dogs with us but the table we were given was quite cramped with not much room for the dogs . It was fairly busy so didn’t complain. The Sunday roast beef was amazing and my husband had fish and chips which he said was very good and the portions were huge . Be aware however if you are vegan as one of our party was . There is not much of a selection. A beyond meat burger is offered but it is served in a non vegan brioche bun and the waitress told us the chips are cooked in the same oil with fish. Our vegan ended up having pasta which was a small portion and very bad value for money . Improvement could be made to the vegan options but all in all an enjoyable experience

Popped in for lunch halfway through a canal walk. Lovely pub, nice garden (for the summer!). Good selection of food, I had soup and a sandwich (actually a brioche bun with fish goujons) both very tasty. Good selection of beers including Weetwood, which are excellent and local.

Great place for a nice beer and decent b pub food. Pies stress amazing

Our first visit to The Barbridge Inn. 2 of us ordered from the regular menu and 1 from the Christmas menu, all 3 meals were amazing, I would highly recommend the slow cooked short rib of beef, it was delicious and cooked to perfection. Lovely canal side view from our table. The staff were welcoming and attentive, we will definitely return in the future.

Lovely food served very quickly and very attentive waitresses. Nothing was too much trouble, 9 of us dining and all meals came out the same time, no one waiting.

We have been here quite afew times,but today was quite different.It wasn't that busy and we were a table of 8( we dis book).We ordered food and the wait time was awful,had to ask when our food was coming to us after 40mins of waiting after the order was taken.Well I had the beef Sunday dinner and asked for pink beef oh dear over done told the waitress but was offered some more but waited so long and I was hungry,thought it was best to try to eat it ,(tough as old boots) so left it. Ordered pudding which was sticky toffee with custard OMG it was cold and cold custard.the waitress was told and warmed well warmed it up in microwave, still not hot.So disappointed.Our meal came to £58.without drinks of course. Won't be going back for a while so disappointed as its a beautiful place and surrounding.

A few members of our decided to have a get together for a pre Christmas dinner. The first thing you do on arrival is order drinks nearly half of our party were told the drinks they asked for they hadn't got, not unusual drinks just everyday drinks you expect to be served in a pub.. All the meals had been pre ordered from the Christmas menu with the exception of a couple of member of our party who ordered from the ordinary menu.. Starters arrived all fine apart from they hadn't catered for one member mm these were pre ordered they should know how many people ordered soup!!!! Most of us had opted for the turkey dinner now that was disappointing I didn't expect to find the precooked sliced turkey you find in the supermarkets hiding under a big ring of stuffing accompanied by four sprouts one pig in blanket two small roastes a bit of carrot and parsnip I bet between all of us the hadn't used anymore than 3 carrots 3 parsnips 4 potatoes 20 sprouts topped off with half a pint of gravy.. Desert a some of us had preordered and some our party had said they would decide on the night, after choosing something from the menu i heard sorry we haven't got that what about this then no sorry we haven't got that either.. Sorry someone has ordered sponge from the Christmas menu I'm sorry but we haven't got any.. The amount of times through the evening I heard we haven't got any was unreal..from drinks to sauces to deserts.. Then I realised hang on its a Saturday night a couple of weeks before Christmas the place has only a quarter of its capacity taken if that why isn't there many customers I think we just witnessed why..

Lovely old pub with excellent food and servic

A lovely traditional pub right next to the canal. Friendly folk. Good food. Christmas decorations and a Santa's Grotto beautifully decorated. Been twice in 2 weeks as it was enjoyable and relaxing.

Wonderful meal with the family. Perfect food and wonderful service. Thank you x

Had a Large family get together, the Sunday Roast was excellent and the Ribeye Steak was cook to perfection.. the Staff are friendly and couldn't do enough... Excellent.

Visited during a canal trip where a group of 3 enjoyed a relaxing evening meal on a Tuesday night. The steak and ale pie with chips was fantastic; succulent, tasty and I didn’t leave a crumb. The cost of the meal was very reasonable. The staff were welcoming, friendly and courteous throughout. Would strongly recommend the Barbridge Inn and would defiantly return.

Although food and drink and location is very good, lack of atmospere and seems locals stay away

Been here recently and there is such a great improvement in the food - Sunday lunch was superb and the sandwiches are delicious, quality ingredients

Fish and chips at a pub is always a gamble I think but this was the nicest fish and chips I’ve had in a long time! Staff were really flexible and helpful when our son didn’t fancy anything on the kids menu (it was a bit boring to be fair as most pub kids menus are) Lovely food, lovely staff, would visit again if in the area.

Staff recommended nachos and they were very good. Had both lunch and dinner there. It did go dead quiet around 930 on a week night and the door got locked behind us!

Good pub for a meal and drink. Perfect for canal users!
