The Travellers Rest in Warrington

Reservamos el almuerzo para tres de nosotros. No lo hemos estado durante un tiempo y esperábamos que se hubieran mantenido las normas. Dos de nosotros comimos pudín negro y pila de tocino y yo comí sopa de verduras. Como de costumbre pedí que estuviera ardiendo, caliente: estaba y estaba delicioso. Para la alimentación, uno tenía un curry de bacalao (lo disfrutaba) y los otros dos filetes de solomillo. Los filetes estaban muy sabrosos, pero hubiera preferido que la grasa se hubiera rendido. Terminé con helado. Pedí vino tinto Primitivo y estaba muy bueno. Servicio de primera clase como siempre y una experiencia extremadamente agradable.

Qué gran hallazgo, uno de los pocos pubs independientes que sirven comida casera de muy alto nivel. Muy impresionado, y espero una visita de regreso.

Otra maravillosa comida con amigos en el Traveller. Tomamos bebidas en el bar para empezar - y el hombre del bar era amable y servicial como de costumbre (el que siempre es alegre y risueño). Las mesas estaban limpias y ordenadas y no tuvimos problemas para encontrar un asiento. Habíamos reservado una mesa para el almuerzo y por lo que pasó en el momento apropiado. Nuestra mesa ya estaba preparada para nosotros y pasamos directamente y estábamos sentados. La primera sección del restaurante estaba bastante llena, pero había un buen ambiente, con agradables huéspedes disfrutando de sus almuerzos. Dos de nosotros pedimos gammon y dos de nosotros comimos sartén - pechuga de pollo frita. Las cuatro comidas llegaron a tiempo y se veía absolutamente maravilloso. Ambos gammones eran de un tamaño generoso y cocinados a la perfección, las patatas fritas y la ensalada también estaban deliciosos. Al hacer el pedido, nos preguntaron si queríamos mostaza o cualquier otra salsa y nos las trajeron en anticipación a que llegara la comida. Ambas pechugas de pollo fritas también se cocinaron bien, y las salsas que las acompañaron eran muy sabrosas. Cuando terminamos nuestra comida, el camarero que nos había servido comprobó si queríamos algo más (cosa que no hicimos) ya que se iba de turno. Eso se sintió como un toque final de atención y fue apreciado. Nos alojamos en nuestra mesa y terminamos nuestro vino y no nos apresuraron a salir (a pesar de que el servicio de almuerzo había terminado) , que fue realmente considerado. Cuando volvimos al bar y pagamos la cuenta, había un nuevo miembro del personal en el bar y él era muy servicial. Queríamos agregar una propina a nuestro pago, pero no estaba seguro de cómo hacerlo con tarjeta, lo que era preocupante, especialmente porque se había quedado solo ya que el otro personal había salido al efectivo y llevar (o similar). Sin embargo, él lo resolvió y fue capaz de solucionar el problema, que era genial, ya que no teníamos nada de efectivo con nosotros ese día en particular y quería dejar una propina. Gracias por otra gran comida y experiencia - ya hemos reservado de nuevo! 😃

Preciosa comida , las cuatro comidas estaban deliciosas , hija dijo que mejores patatas fritas jamás comido 😀 😋 . Realmente disfruté comiendo fuera en la cápsula en una tarde cálida de octubre.

Personal encantador, muy acogedor, buena comida con buena elección en el menú a precios razonables, los postres son exuberantes y buen ambiente en general👌 Fácil de reservar online

Excellent food, service and lovely atmosphere. Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. Defo worth a visit if you’re in the area.

We had a wonderful meal for four today. Service was great, drinks reasonably priced and food excellent! We were also wowed by the fact that the Travellers Rest has won the 2024 CAMRA award for best pub in South Lancashire! We’ll be back and writing another review soon…

Greeted warmly and bar staff great, chef letting rest of team down. I embarrassingly highlighted that the sticky gochujang glaze was inedible on top of Korean chicken burger as it tasted of carbon and left to char, only for chef to send waitress back through to report it should look like that 😳 From one chef to another… don’t treat your customers with disrespect and never release food from your kitchen that does not meet your own high standards. Images on what chef served as edible and pic of what gochujang glaze should look like.

Food was average, service appalling, person serving was clearly unenthusiastic and unhappy. Barely asked if we were finished before reaching over and gathering plates. Would we go back? Probably not!

Ok slow service from the start dirty sticky table handed a menu promptly in return gave my details , 32 minutes later no order taken other people repeatedly served in front of us . Limited menu choice that DOES NOT reflect the ambience of the pub no toilet roll in the ladies . Waited 7 minutes too pay on exit at the bar just as I wa ringing them too see if they actually wanted paying 😬👍where a faint hearted apology did not excuse the fact that 32 minutes too take my order was acceptable . Wouldn’t recommend and won’t be recommending too anyone

We went here last night, Easter Sunday, 5:15pm, absolutely beautiful food! Barman was brilliant, had a good laugh, staff were pleasant, three courses for £25 each, food was hot, (pet hate of mine is cold food) lovely place, will definitely be back!!

5 of us turned up here one Saturday afternoon before Christmas on the off chance of there being a table free. My wife had heard good things from a friend. We had to wait in the bar for 10 minutes but we soon got sorted with a table. I had the curry, my nephew had the burger and my wife, niece and mother-in-law all had the gammon. We all agreed the food was excellent as well as the service. Would return more often if we lived locally. Will definitely call in again when visiting relatives nearby. Give it a try.

Celebrated my 85th Birthday with family in this old country pub. Excellent service and ambiance. All meals arrived hot and at the same time - which cannot be said for more highly priced venue previous week. Varied selections from menu and everyone enjoyed their choice. Young front of house staff; well-trained, courteous and attentive. Thank you Lauren, your staff did you proud.

Booked a table for 2 people online for 2.15 PM, arrived 10 mins early , was told table wasn't ready and would come and inform us when it was , 20 mins later we had to ask was our table ready ! Oh yes it was they had forgotten inform us, then we had to ask could we order .. not as if it was packed more tables empty than in use ,my husband ordered small fish and chips which was ok ( cant really go wrong with that !)I ordered chicken breast with chips , seasonal veg and red wine garlic and chill sauce .. chicken was dry tough and overcooked..seasonal veg ! 2 limp pieces of tenderstem broccoli a couple of pieces of leeks and green beans .. sauce was just like garlic gravy, chips were best thing on the plate , we had to ask could we order a drink , I ordered a 175 ml glass of red wine and I had to ask them to top it up as it was short measured, the waitress I suppose shes the manager came to take our plates and asked if everything was fine, I replied "it was ok !! She replied "well your plate is empty " I replied " yes I was hungry!! And she walked off .... overall not very pleased with our experience there after hearing good reports about it...

My friends and I visited the Travellers Rest on the 14th March and had an excellent experience. I have a milk allergy which usually limits menu choices, however this did not create a problem for both myself and the resteraunt, every item on the menu was explained in detail in regards what I could have and /or adjusted to meet my needs. The food was plentiful and delicious and the waiting time from ordering to delivery was minimal. I want to give a very special mention to Ford our waiter, as my friend stated " he's a lovely lad", he was very helpful and attentive to all our needs. My friends and I will most certainly be back and wholeheartedly recommended The Travellers Rest.

We booked on line for 7.30pm , arrived at 7.15 and was asked to get a drink at the bar as the table wasn,t ready seated at 7.35 then had a wait for our order to be taken staff were very apologetic which was fine as they were all rushing around and extremely busy food was spot on as always worth the wait

First time visiting for a birthday meal. Pre-booked our table as I have heard it gets busy. Was met with a lovely friendly welcome. Ordered our drinks and we were informed of the specials. From ordering our food we didn’t have long to wait, our starters were lovely and all hot. Our mains followed, again all hot. During both our starters and mains a member of staff came and checked to see if everything was ok, to which we answered yes. Everybody enjoyed their food, compliments to the chef. We will most definitely be visiting again.

Saddened by my experience. Asked for allergy info, explained I had a nut allergy. Ordered drinks, was then told they would not be serving us any food as it is the chef's livelihood we would be putting at risk and they cannot guarantee there wouldn't be cross contamination. The approach taken by the manager was definitive and would not enter discussion on it. Saddened we cancelled our drinks and left. Concerned that the kitchen may not be clean and utensils etc may not be being cleaned properly as I cannot fathom why they would refuse so firmly. Will not be returning again.

Birthday Meal was lovely as always…Crispy Beef and Butter Chicken on the Special’s Menu were delicious…and service fantastic.. Thank you Lauren & team once again 😘

This was my 3rd meal at Travellers Rest and the food was fantastic, atmosphere really comfortable and staff very polite and busy, keep up the great work guys 👍👍👍👍😃😃

Went for Sunday lunch as a group of 7 and had a varied selection of meals off the menu. Every meal was delicious and we all enjoyed it. Very good value for money. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Wonderfully warm welcome on entering this gorgeous little pub. All the staff were wonderfully attentive and the food was lovely. . . . Especially the desserts. It has a lovely atmosphere and the staff definitely deserve praise and recognition.

Valentines meal best ever. Always guaranteed a warm welcome from all the staff. Every time we visit we want to come back. Food is amazing and total value for money. Can't wait for spring and summer in the lovely garden to drink and dine with friendly folk and staff. See you soon P&M

Went as a last minute decision for Sunday lunch. We had a roast beef dinner and a chicken and chorizo pie. Both were delicious. My husband's beef was so tender, he said it was like butter. My pie was tasty and the pastry was very crispy. All the vegetables and chips were home cooked to perfection too. Would definitely recommend

Lost faith on pub food locally,but had friends visiting so decided to try traveller's rest. Good decision,lovely food great atmosphere. We all agreed food hot and tasty.would return in a shot Only slight complaint waiter seemed grumpy,but maybe he'd had a bad day

Visited on 14th January 23 for Sunday lunch having previously had excellent meal here. Sunday lunch was mediocre - roast beef was tough and chewy and roast potatoes were not roasted. Other vegetables were a mixture from a frozen pack. Sticky toffee pudding was solid in one section (overcooked) and custard was cold - this was sent back and was replaced but again with cold custard. The other two portions of sticky toffee pudding were OK but again the custard was cold. Asked for a jug of hot custard but again this was cold. Finally asked the waitress to just put it all in the microwave for a couple of minutes. We were offered a round of drinks as compensation but just ordered coffee and tea. The place was very busy and this may have contributed to the situation. Mentioned to the receptionist on the way out and was told that nobody else had complained but she would mention to the butcher. Unfortunately this will make no difference as we will not return.

First time visitor for food although we’ve been before in the summer for drinks. There was 3 of is one had the Sunday lunch whilst the remainder chose from the Sunday menus. The service the food and atmosphere were excellent from start to finish,well done to all concerned,we will definitely be back. Thank you for a fantastic experience

Eaten curry all over the world - both delicately and strongly spiced. The "curry" presented to me at the Travellers Rest, Lowton was huge chunks of bell peppers and pieces of chicken in an extremely thick tomato concoction No spicing whatsoever. Predominant taste - tomato. The chicken may have had a Tandoori coating, hard to tell, everything was overwhelmed by tomato. The Chef obviously had some spices available as they were used in the Thai fritters One of our party never orders Curry in case it’s too hot . She tried it and could not detect even a hint of spice. Hungry. Ate bits of chicken with the naan and rice - scraping away the cloying tomato “sauce”. Lovely staff and ambience but we are going for the food and on this occasion the Chef let them down. Disappointing.

Just how difficult is it to make a decent roast potato? We were served insipid, hard inside, cold potatoes, along with fatty roast ham and wet over-cooked frozen veg. The chocolate trifle wasn’t set, it was more like Angel Delight with too much milk added.

Highly recommended !!! Food was amazing , sauces 😍 King Prawn starter with garlic chilli lemon sauce could have eaten on its own was so tasty Blue cheese sauce with my steak again amazing ! Sauce with the Salmon again amazing just need more of it Team all super friendly and attentive Highly recommended !

Really poor meal that ruined what should have been a lovely trip out . The ‘festive’ roast was borderline inedible but the steak truly was - completely raw onion rings, uncooked mushrooms, burnt chips and massively over-salted steak. Nobody checked if the food was okay and we sat staring at uncleared dishes for half an hour until finally getting someone’s attention. They knocked the steak off the bill but the whole experience was ruined by that point and we cancelled our desserts. The food used to be really good here but they have obviously stopped taking any pride in what they send out. We won’t be returning.

Absolutely unreal! Lauren has transformed the restaurant into a lovely peaceful area, food was amazing as usual definitely be coming back again, staff were amazing and felt very welcome. Service was incredible!

Came to Travellers Rest for the first time on Friday (15/12/23) with my colleagues for a Christmas meal. The food was outstanding, amazing quality, piping hot and LOADS of it! The staff were so friendly and visited regularly to check that we were all well served. I plan to come back with my husband and family, because it is rare to find such good quality at such good prices.

Work christmas night out. A party of 12 and nothing was too much trouble. Service was excellent and food was absolutely delicious. Some of the party had never visited before and were very impressed and can't wait to return.Thank You.

Visited here twice within a week and both times blown away with the food and service. Gorgeous food and brilliant staff. Couldn't recommend this place enough! Thank you

One of our favourite spots for lunch, always brilliant homemade food at a fair price and good ales on tap too. Outdoor area is great but sometimes don’t let you eat out there weirdly

We visited for lunch to celebrate Fathers Day. Great service from all the staff. Lovely, tasty food. Will visit again.

First time under the new management for lunch. The usual three of us had another memorable meal at the Travellers. I had the tomato and pepper soup, piping hot as requested. A good start. For the main I had sirloin steak in a chilli sauce...

A friendly welcome and one of the best pints of Guinness around - as it should be - cold, smooth and creamy. It would be rude not to have another! My wife enjoyed a glass or two of white wine too. Small bar snacks were...
