Last night had a great meal and drinks at the Newly managed Prospect. I had the chicken breast and must say it was restaurant quality. Great also that music was being played because it adds to the atmosphere. We will definitely be back. Eddie

Friendly staff who went out of their way to help us out. Great drinks with a decent range of choice including two very real ales. The food was excellent; arrived quickly, very hot, plenty of it (Sunday lunch) and very tasty.

Just had Sunday lunch at the prospect Runcorn if you haven’t been yet then treat yourself. Friendly atmosphere spotlessly clean. We had the roast beef cut straight off a joint not the processed stuff you sometimes get, fresh veg roast/mash potatoes and gravy. Good big portions tasty hot food followed by a nice chocolate desert and ice cream. Great lunch would really highly recommend it and will be going again. The midweek menu looks good too.

Well we did the right thing choosing here for our Sunday dinner. Big, big portions, plate was warm so it kept hot whilst we worked our way through it all. Very reasonably priced for the size. They also do an “ultra” sized portion where you get extra veg, pigs in blankets, stuffing etc. But no way could we have eaten any more than we did, glad we got the normal size. Staff were very pleasant and helpful

When we phoned to enquire about booking a table, we were advised it would not be necessary. When we arrived we could not get into the car parkas a bin wagon had blocked entrance. We were the only people in the lounge and were advised a number of dishes were not available. The food was hot and well cooked (fish batter over cooked). Most of the deserts were also not available, only enough ice cream for one. Staff friendly and it was clean. We will not be returning.

I ate here today for Sunday lunch, the reason I have given a 4 is the food was gorgeous. They advertise 2 Sunday roasts for £12.95 outside Gents toilet yet charged £15 90, when we ask barmaid was just told , "Idon't know, but thanks for letting me know"??? We didn't bother challenging as these are young inexperienced girls who clearly have not been trained properly, so not their fault. Bar a bit of a mess not much choice, used to have variety of gins etc. Gone down hill. Pity used to be a great pub.

Last week we had 3 takeaway roast dinners which were still warm when we got them home (winner winner chicken dinner!). The gravy was amazing, everything is home cooked and you can really tell. Veg was cooked to perfection, no soggy boiled to an inch of its life mush! Beautiful meat (beef, ham and chicken thighs) which were cooked just right. Fab Sunday lunch at a fab price! Good job guys. We’ll be back!

What a gem of a pub! I visited with my mum every week for a fabulous Sunday lunch. The food was amazing and what a good atmosphere and lovely staff. Its so sad that the current landladies are leaving - they created a wonderful friendly community and will be sorely missed by all their customers, including all the ones who popped in for their gorgeous takeaway Sunday lunches! A very hard act to follow!

I’ve been taking my mum out for Sunday lunch for about eight years now and for the last two years we have gone to The Prospect. Their Sunday roasts are the best we have had anywhere. It’s a 30 mile round trip for me but well worth it, we just can’t fault it. They’re very considerate of my gluten-free requests, the staff are lovely and the pub itself is really nice and very clean. Also, you don’t have to wait long for your meals. A friend who often dines with us chooses different meals and is always happy with them. Wish we’d thought of going to The Prospect from the beginning!

Honestly don't like writing reviews but on this occasion I will make an exception as it was awful :( Meat was more like dog meat and everything else was basically deep fried.

Popped in on spec on Sunday. We were greeted warmly and found a table in the bar. The Sunday lunch offered a choice of meats with another choice from a variety of vegetables. I chose pork with cauliflower cheese, carrot and turnip, mash and the crispiest “roast” potatoes (which actually tasted deep fried). My lunch partner chose lamb with cauliflower cheese and peas. We both enjoyed our meals which were well cooked, tasty and well served by a lovely young man. I had apple crumble and custard whilst my friend had jam dolly polly again tasty and filling. Why only 4 stars then you may be asking? This may sound petty but I would have loved some crackling which would have completed the meal for me. Can’t fault the food or staff and overall really good!

Not regulars but we have been to this pub a few afternoons during the summer. Decided to go one weekend night. Between us all we had about 10 pints of lager. Unfortunately 3 of these went flat very quickly even though they'd been pulled at the same time as others. Don't know if it was because the bar maid was rushed (she was the only one trying to deal with a lot of customers on her own) or if the pump gas was not working correctly. Didn't make for a nice pint I'm afraid. Hopefully it was a 'one off', doesn't make us want to rush back for a while though.

Called in just by chance as we were in the area. Ordered food - hubby had the mixed grill and I had a ploughman’s salad. When the food came out we were amazed. The portion sizes were fantastic. The mixed grill was gorgeous as was my salad - it had everything on it and the cheese portion was that big I ended up taking most of it home. Donna was friendly and attentive and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be going back and trying the Sunday roast (which is meant to be lovely). The pub is clean, bright and welcoming and I’d certainly recommend a visit

There was a heart shaped dish filled with sweets in the shape of hearts and we were then poured a glass of Proseco. The meal was fabulous King prawns cocktail , steak and all the trimmings and a lovely choice of sweets. This meal would have cost a fortune if you had gone to a restaurant but all for £30 a couple. The beer afterwards was superb as always and the staff so friendly. You were not rushed and there were plenty of others eating .

My wife and I were visiting her sister - from Portugal - for the wedding of my wife's nephew on Saturday 9th December. We have all been to the Prospect at different times and on a previous visit. My sister-in-law has attended on a number of occasions. On our previous visit the meal was lovely and not a fault. Then the drinks were most enjoyable with the meal. Regrettably, such an enjoyable occasion was not repeated on 5th December. We all had starters which were quite nice. The main meal was something else. Pretty bad. My wife had a fish meal; the chips were preformed mash and the batter of the cod was solid and the fish was grey/black on the inside. I complained and they asked if we wanted a replacement. We said please. The next wasn't any better. My steak meal tasted like it was cooked in water and had not been seared. A simple meal, medium rare steak but well messed up. For dessert my wife had apple pie and cream - requested to be hot. They had no custard nor did they have any ice cream. Bad really. I had a sticky toffee pudding - requested hot but served cold. My wife's apple pie's pastry was like glue. I really couldn't believe the standard after our previous experience. I suggested that as a gesture of goodwill that maybe they could refund the cost of the desserts. 24 pence short they did so. Wait was unnecessary as we were the only ones there and eating at the time. Had the service, food etc been of equivalent standard to our previous visit I would have no hesitation in awarding a "5". Regret this experience only worth a "-5".

A friend took us here for Sunday Lunch. I ordered the Gammon, it looked more like a wafer thin piece of ham (half slice) when it arrived. My wife is a vegetarian and so went for the Vegetarian Tart, not by any form of description was it a tart! Accompanying vegetables apart from the potatoes (Mash had ran out) were either under cooked (Broccoli) or none existent (Cauliflower Cheese). Obviously it's cheap, but I was looking forward to a Sunday Lunch, not an excuse for one! Didn't complain as I didn't pay.

Called in last night (Saturday), as we regularly do. Sadly it may be the last time. While I appreciate that the pub is in transition, the decor is dated, the furniture battered and torn and with all the lights on it was like being under floodlights. As for the food...paid £3.50 for a kids meal of 4 x chicken dippers and about 12 chips. Steak and baguette were ok, but just ok. Now get far fewer chips and the salad isn’t as good as before. All that after a 45 minute wait. Left disappointed. In summary, while the staff are friendly and it’s a nice place, the food just isn’t what it used to be in terms of quality and value.

Booked a table cos reviews were good. Friendly but very small pub. Had asked whether they do veggie menu and was assured they did but it def needs extending. Ended up with just oven chips and salad. Other two family members asked for gammon. Waitress came back after about 10 mins and said it was off. So they ordered the burger. Hubby said it was ok but son said it was greasey and left half of it. We were told that a new landlady had just taken over and a refurbishment was on the cards. Maybe we went on a bad night cos a lot of people seem to enjoy the food. Might try it again after its been refurbished.

The service was great food was awesome and of course the beers didn't disappoint. The restaurant I divided into two sections as you come in the bar is to your left and the restaurant is to your right, choose your side and enjoy a great hometown feel emerging yourself with the locals. Prices were cheap but the food was not, very good and flavorful. a great find!

Been there a few times. Food is great value for money ,Good choice from the menu . The Butchers board is the best value for all you meat lovers. If want a great Sunday Roast ,heads up book a table plus let them know what meat you would like . They sell out of the Lamb very quickly. Also the real Ales are good have choice of 4 or 5 but have different ones every week. The place has that old feel look about it. The pub has no internet in the pub. Which id great because it makes you talk to the people you are with instead of looking at them and the back of there phone. Try the pub you might find out how your friends or family are doing without having to look at face book you can talk to them face to face.Over all great place for food or a nice drink with family or friends.

As we walked inside we were greeted by the bar staff who asked if we required a table for food which was nice as we were strangers to tissue local pub. They also asked us what we would like to drink and they served us at our table this was very friendly and we were made to feel comfortable in a strange place. We orDerek our staraters and main course and then we had a chat with them and found out all their food was fresh and homemade in their own kitchen. The food arrived quite quickly and it was beautifully served on the platter it looked as good as it tasted. You could tell it was homemadecided food it had the Nannas taste about it just yummy and who knew. Who would have thought a little country pub could be so fabulous warm friendly and brilliant service. To top it all the cost was just as wonderful and we were happy to pay the bill for what we had. This country pub has an oldie worldie feel quaint and warm interesting and we have returned about 12 times since then. It's not always a posh restaurant we are searching for sometimes we just plan a meal out in a spontaneous moment together and I can assure you that you won't be disappointed with this as your choice. It was winter when we first visited and I can assure you it was nice and warm and cosy too I recommend you give it a try if you are in the area you won't be sorry you did.

Also tried there delivery service, it's a must if you want a Sunday dinner & carnt be bothered going out

Visited with two young children and thoroughly enjoyed our time. We both ordered the butchers block which came with mouth watering steak cooked to perfection, tasty sausage, pickle, onions, salad and chips. The children had chicken nuggets and chips for one and pizza chips and beans for the other. The nuggets were hot and crisp whilst the pizza was very cheesy with a thin crisp crust. There was a small choice of puddings and we opted for chocolate fudge cake and ice cream for adults and ice cream sundaes for both children. The portions were very generous and great value for money. The pub could do with some TLC and the chips were soggy which is probably due to using new potatoes but either way I would definitely return.

This is my 2nd review of this inn, but his time its not great. I have been here quite a few times, and cannot fault the staff. However the food is a different matter. On one visit, my partner asked for Steak pie, only to be informed there was none left (despite us being there early), she then asked for sausages and mash, to be told NO MASH, oh come on how hard is it to make mash! I have had to send 2 meals back, Lasagne totally bland, fish and chips sent back as batter was like concrete, and last night was steak night, the peppercorn sauce was like water. There used to be lots of specials, now there are hardly any. I used to like coming here, but doubt it very much that I will be returning, even more so due to a new pub opening in town, where they have a steak night, same price and bigger steaks.

We moved house recently and The Prospect has become our local. As such we have dedicated ourselves to working through the menu at a steady rate so have visited fairly regularly over the past few months. The beers change frequently so there is usually something new to try, but they always seem to keep at least one familiar beer on tap - Doom Bar, Landlord or Broadside for example - so if you're not keen on your first beer you can wash it down with something else. The food is good pub food which means to me that it is hearty, portions are generous and it is not overpriced. As well as the regular menu, there are changing specials, curry night, steak night (which is ridiculous value for money!!) and Sunday lunch. The restaurant area contains lots of curios and photos of old Weston, and the bar has lots of sports memorabilia. Over the colder months, there is a blazing fire going in the restaurant. The staff are friendly, welcoming and accommodating. We were overjoyed when we moved to the area and found such a gem on our doorstep, which seems to have the right mix of beer, food, service and atmosphere so we hope that it remains that way when new owners are found as it is currently up to-let. Until then, we are going to make the most of what we have and continue to work our way through the menu, and the dessert board. Keep up the great work, guys at the Prospect!

Fab pub with a good selection of drinks, great menu at a really good price. I've eaten here a few times. Curry night was really disappointing but everything else I've had has been lovely. Staff are lovely and friendly, proper old fashioned pub and dog friendly too :)

We came here last year for something to eat, with family. the food was lovely homemade and worth the 1/2 hr wait.However, my husband and I went last night, and waiting 1 hr and 20 mins for our meal, which was a baguette with chicken, bacon and salad. Which was nice, chips a bit greasy, but edible. Just as we start to eat, we are asked to more tables, as the musicians need our table, so we carry our meals and drinks to another table, by this time its just the 2 of us eating, at 8.45. what a joke. then the singer comes on, and the place is silent, all you can hear is the sound of our knives and folks clattering on our plates. needless to say we eat very quickly and left. that's a Birthday meal we wont forget in a hurry.

The pub in itself is welcoming and staff seem friendly enough however if you are coming here expecting a nice meal...don't bother. Food is very bland and seems like the cheapest ingredients used, will not be coming back again to eat in here sorry

I came here for my first legal drink on my 18th birthday. The service was great, and bar side seating area was good. I have previously visited for a Sunday dinner here and it was very tasty, you have a choice of meat and vegatables. The only negative point I have is the size of the eating area, the room is quite small.

This pub set up on top of the hill has a fine range of Real Ales all well presented.Having won the CAMRA pub of the year award on several occasions. The pub is old in looks outside and has been the centre of the smallcommunity for a hundred years plus .It does food , which is not renowned in the area. But adequate.One is made to feel welcome.On Mondays the local Folk People meet for the group's individuals singing -- and once a month have a guest player (s) on .The Car park is awful to get into and out of being a very narrow entrance off the main road. On a scale out of 10 i would give the Prospect 7.5 overall.For their Ales a 10.

This pub caters for a variety of tastes and wants. There is always something on each evening and the range and quality of beers is second to none in this area. The food is excellent value served in a warm friendly atmosphere and the Sunday Take-Away is great value.
