Popped in for our evening meal and the food was excellent! The pub has recently been taken over and the new landlady and family are lovely and can’t do enough for you. Would definitely recommend and will be returning soon!

Nice place, recently taken over by new Landlady... They have the place looking fantastic. Plenty of outside space and parking. Very spacious inside with lots of dining tables

I ordered Roast Chicken and was served Roast beef which was stringy and i couldn't cut it, the plate was full though plenty of vegetables well cooked and a lovely crispy Yorkshire pudding along with a generous amount of Roast potatoes , all washed down with cold pint of carling .

Stops serving food at 5pm on a Sunday? What on earth is that all about. Very poor

New to the area. Was late for food but half hour kaye and served a meal. I'm vegetarian and food was lovely

Had a bite to eat, a pint and a game of pool, contactless payment system on the pool table too.

Far outreached my expectations. First time of visiting.

Nice pub, step son just moved to area and we went for a pint and game of pool, First time I have seen a contract less pool table great no need for change brilliant. Will be back.

Friendly would of been better if they served one hand pulled ale but John Smiths ok good clean pub friendly

Very nice food if they ever sell some. Quite confusing advertisement on that. Always when we ask they don't serve any. Once we were lucky and it was very nice. Otherwise nice place to go in Middlewich and good staff.

Found this place when looking for pubs near our hotel. Good prices. Lovely staff. Beautiful place nice and open

We enjoyed our meal. The menu has the basics you expect from a pub. All meals were tasty with decent portion sizes. We thoroughly enjoyed the desserts which were huge! Easily share one between two. Basic selection of drinks. Sadly no real ale. Toilets were clean. Staff friendly.

Food is quite expensive but all in all a nice place to drink.

We as a family have been a few times. The food was good the 1st time. The 2nd time meat was chewy, but we can all get that wrong. But yesterday, the Sunday roast was almost inedible, the veg was totally raw, apart from roast potatoes. When I mentioned to the chef, who asked me how the meal was, his response was maybe I should start cooking it in the morning for you. I don't ming a slight crunch. But this was raw. So we went home hungry.

Just want to say what great service and beautiful food once again yesterday . 😋 highly recommend. Xx

Would like to say a big thank you to the Staff at the Turnpike we had the Lunch meal deal with a drink the food was Fantastic and great valve and the Staff made us feel very welcome great service and food we will be back .

My local great place music bingo pool great food sport on the big TV great staff 👍a must place visit 😀

Has a nice local atmosphere. Food was pretty good too.

Disgraceful staff, blatant drug consumption being disregarded, microwaved food and warm beer, overall wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy

Very nice place, it's very good to have fun, relax, talk with friends!

Really good entertainment and atmosphere

Visited as newcomers to the area and was greeted warmly by Michelle and her staff. Chose lasagne from the menu. Came in a hot skillet with garlic sourdough bread and a side salad. Really tasty hot food and good value for money. Will certainly be visiting again and thank you for helping us to feel welcome

Brilliant atmosphere food was amazing 🙂

Always a nice welcome from Michelle and the staff. Lovely local pub.

Food was really good, staff were very welcoming and lovely, had a great experience, I will definitely be returning!

Refitted to a really high standard, great prices, friendly staff. This is exactly what we needed this end of town. Thought I would put an update on seems some very petty people like to score points with fake reviews. Stand by my earlier reviews, really friendly staff and kept to a high standard. Try for yourselves.

The Turnpike is my favourite pub in Middlewich. All of the staff work so hard to make sure there is a friendly and welcoming atmosphere not just for revisit punter but new punters too!

Brilliant night watching Maine tonight

Not been in years nice and big inside drinks reasonable quick look at food prices iv seen better it still looks a bit ruff on the outside needs money spending outside on better quality seating and landscaping to attract passing trade

I am a rapid responder covering emergency care across Cheshire, I sat down outside to have a rest and within 5 minutes a manager called Michelle came outside and told me if I’m not drinking there I need to move along. I explained I was waiting for my colleague who was 5 min away and she still asked me to buy a drink. I wouldn’t mind but I’m in full uniform covering emergency care and she was very rude and didn’t care.

Nice friendly local pub. Excellent choice and quality of food. Friendly attentive staff. Will definitely dine here again

Really improved. Had a lovely meal at a good price. Can't go wrong.

Never again would I go in this place again ordered food and had a public hair in my jacket potatoe borkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!

Treated to a great Mother’s Day lunch here yesterday. Lovely Food, great value for money, Friendly staff and Relaxing atmosphere 🍽

Great pub with very friendly staff & great for food.

Been in a couple of times with our children and have been really happy with the food and service! Staff are very friendly and always happy to help ☺️

Lovely Welcome from staff. Love the decor it was clean tidy and comfortable. New menu it was fabulous. Recommend people to see and taste for yourself. Cheers !

It's a great pub fantastic food friendly staff

Very good staff do lots for children and food has entertainment disco big screen tv for sports

Lovely place and the bar staff are great

Nice place, Good prices, friendly locals. I think this place has been recently renovated and is well decorated and clean and new, including the toilets. They have a pool table, and a dance floor, there was a band called memory lane on. Playing some golden oldies for the dancers in the place. Cocktails and food too.

Wonderful service, lovely staff

Michelle the manageress is absolute lovely 😊 Fake bad reviews, ignore them. Stunningly good good for the price Ale is always bang on

Absolute worst experience EVER!🤢 Carpet was sticky with God knows what substance, but that wasn’t even the worst part - the owner(?) was walking around with no shoes!! (surely this must be a breach of covid guidelines/laws). Food came stone cold and tasted like a microwave meal and to top it all of my long-awaited pint was flat and warm🙄 Safe to say i won’t be returning!

*TIRGGER WARNING* Absolutely awful I recommend anyone (especially ones with family) stay away from this place! I went in the other day and waited almost 30 minutes just to be served (the pub was practically empty). Just to be served by the so called ‘waiter’ Who I think is one of the owners of this establishment came out with no shoes on and his feet absolutely stank! 🤢 safe to say it killed my appetite I then entered the toilets to my horror to find a big smelly p*o on one of the urinals! The most shocking experience in my life safe to say I’ll never be returning…

Fantastic service, amazing food

Great food, great service and reasonably priced!! Will be going back. Xx

Mothers day roast beef all the trimmings lovely plenty food so tasty and apple pie/custard what a great portion both courses beautifully presented even tho takeaway was very impressed and made mothers day thankyou so much Turnpike 🤗❤

Excellent Quality Food & Great Value - got the takeaway 3 course on Sunday; all food and service was great with quality meat perfectly cooked, thanks.

Good night. Good family feeling. Service a bit slow at times (drink wise) but only what to be expected in these times. Perhaps they could do with another person helping out. But overall good nlght

The food was really good and the landlady is very friend friendly

We have visited a few times since it was refurbished and every time we have had lovely food and the service is excellent. Proper pub food at very reasonable prices.

First time I've ever eaten here and the food was excellent. Tastiest chips I've ever had just like my childhood ones. The food was freshly cooked and tasty. Hoping to return next week.

Absolutely lovely meal. Friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you

Tasty food that was at a good price and hot. Manager was so nice and helpful.

Great Barmaid - Michelle. Really nice.

Lovely little pub, staff really friendly and can't do enough for you!

In now 20.54. It's quiet now the food has finished. Drinking real ale. It's not on continuously. As there isn't enough demand only the odd day or two gap. Doom bar a the moment last one was black sheep. Pool table not too busy . Football on telly. What's not to like.☺

Walk in walk out no fuss social dist not too bad

Went to the pub for Sunday lunch, we both had the roast lamb dinner with the fruit crumble to follow The waitress told us about the price discount to save some cash The food came very quickly and very hot The food was great and service matched the food Great job will come again soon

Proud to say I can call this pub my local, its decor is outstanding the new land lady is very warm and welcoming, she goes above and beyond for everyone in fact the whole team do. The food is good too especially sunday lunches They have a quiz night every Sunday at 6.30pm the host Barry is awesome, has turned our Sundays night round.

Both my sister and I had the lasagne, both of us ended up with stomach pains and diarrhoea

This pub has been recently refurbished and offers decent clean facilities. It clearly sets out to be a typical pub that serves traditional food and drinks, which it does well. It is not trying to be a gastropub, just a great place to be. Service is friendly and efficient, and the food is tasty and freshly cooked. Recommended. Well worth a repeat visit.

Great pub friendly people and Amazing staff 👍

We came for a couple of drinks on new year's eve at 3.30. We ordered our child a meal then later decided we would order food to be told no food was being served due to them setting up for new years buffet which was understandable. The chef then came out with a complementary portion of chips for us which was greatly appreciated. Great staff and fabulous service. Will definitely return.

Definately worth a visit after nice revamp

Good service and definitely recommend.

Been here a few times as a mate has moved to to the area. Decor is great and the staff are spot on. Great array of drinks and the food is nice also. Plenty of TVs to watch the sports, lots of seating space and a pool table and dart board.

Excellent pub recently refurbished. Food and drink excellent and great surroundings. Well worth a visit.

We are moving to the area so thought we'd check out the local facilities. We had been told that the pub had been recently refurbished and it looked welcoming from the outside. Liked the decor inside, had a mixture of sports bar at one end with TV's and pool table and eating at the other. The lady behind the bar was very friendly and explained the food menu and wines on offer. We had a snack but the sandwiches were very nice and the beer and wine was good. Will be happy to call it our local.

The food is excellent . And the pub looks great now it's been refubuished

We came here after the refurbishment to have a look as never felt like we could come in before. They have made a real effort and the place looks alot better. We looked on the menu online and chose what we wanted beforehand . However, the menu on the table was alot smaller, missing all the dishes we wanted. It's important to keep your website menu updated. We ended up having a burger in the end for mains and the chicken starter Food was ok , waitor brought out our starters and mains at the same time which was annoying. Wouldn't go back in a rush but overall ok...

(after revamp 2019) pretty nice standard local pub. cheap cocktails, big teles.

Ordered a prawn curry (paid £3.00 extra for prawns) no prawns. When I complained was told it would be fed back to the chief (no pun intended) A lot of the time there is only one bar staff serving who is very intend on talking to the patrons in the other bar and no bell to ring for service. Menu very limited and I think quite overpriced. Very disheartening to walk past in the morning before opening and still seeing empty glasses and overflowing ashtrays left outside. Food is hot and well prepared and does arrive quite quickly.

The service was poor and we only got 2 out of 4 of the dessert we payed for. We ordered at 6.30 and hat to leave at 9 the longest meal ever. We were totally ignored

Great place food is good and prices are resanable lovely staff

Nice pub, even better since refit.

Thought I’d give it a try after the refurb. Good range of beers on but all badly kept and the taps never seem to be cleaned through properly. Food is at Wetherspoons quality, which is about right for a chain pub - to be expected. Given it a few chances as I want to support a pub round the corner from my house but it’s just not good enough. Decor is pleasant as are the bar staff.

Great to have a nicely laid out local again the inside is very nice and welcoming. I was a little disappointed with the food we had on Sunday apparently a staff shortage was to blame for this. I ate my meal but would consider eating Sunday lunch there again. The place is very fresh inside and the selection of beers and spirits is plentiful with good prices. I would have scored higher but for the food I was served. But please do try the Turnpike when you pass you will be happy what they have done to the place.

Recently refitted and looks fab, food is great and staff are lovely. Cheep beer too!
