V Lounge in Cheshire East

Fabulous food, attentive staff. Highly recommend 🥂👍

Chicken Cajon was bland, service was excellent, and the atmosphere was quiet, possibly due to the inclement weather

Not a place for me .. though having said that, a lot of my friends (girls) love it. Not the cheapest place in town but the food and cocktails are worth the expense. On the few occasions I have visited DV8 the staff have always been friendly, pleasant and professional. A good place to go on a girls/couples night out

Called in for breakfast. Really good quality ingredients. Would recommend.

Thank you to Jessica and the DV8 team for making my 21st birthday so special, we got to decorate the venue how we wanted and all we needed to pay for was the buffet per person so no room hire fee! The food was incredible and the waitresses were so attentive with taking empty glasses and asking about more drinks which I loved. We have soooo much food for left overs so very worth it! Highly recommend.

Nice venue, great service. Came for brunch, with kids, it was a good experience over all. Food was a bit hit and miss across the dishes. Some was great, some was a less so, goujons really greasy. Also didn't love scolding hot food and crockery for some kids food. Edit to add we come here regularly nowadays, once per fortnight, and it's been consistently great.

Excellent all round 👏 tasty food, atmosphere & faultless service from Evie, she was just wonderful. Definitely returning, thku to you all the welcoming staff, we'll be back 🤩

Great friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, especially the band playing Great music

Good food a lovely place and atmosphere

I have lived in Congleton for only 6 months and popped in for the first time today with my brother. Had a couple of excellent beers in frosted glasses then two absolutely delicious meals. The staff were friendly, attentive and efficient in what was a busy afternoon. Looking forward to going back many times with the ambition to eventually work my way through the menu!

Large party, 8 adults and 5 children. Staff accommodated us really well. Great food and good service. Highly recommended.

Two excellent meals this week,including great breakfast bap(s)on Friday. Service great and so is the atmosphere and pricing.

Really enjoyable experience! Food was brilliant Staff where helpful

Really nice food and drinks, nice to sit outside when it's sunny 🌞

Love DV8 for breakfast just wish they did skinny lattes as this would definitely mean myself and my friends would visit more 🥲

First time eating at DV8 and I have to say it was good. The food was a good portion and the pricing wasn’t bad, service was swift so all in all, worth a visit.

What a lovely little place. Great service with outstanding food.

Love it there. Food is excellent and atmosphere is nice and relaxed

Visited for breakfast - very impressed

I have been coming to DV8 for many years on a weekly basis and never had a bad meal ever, the quality and presentation of the meals is excellent and never disappoints. I am on a strict training diet this week and can only have certain foods so I asked if they could accommodate and they went out of their way and made me a really tasty omelette with greens. Staff are super friendly and provide a great atmosphere for their customers hence while I will be coming here for many years to come

Went for breakfast. Service was really friendly and helpful. Food and drinks arrived quickly. Food was delicious and portions very generous, will definitely be back !

Nice place and good atmosphere, however, rude waitress when we arrived, a long wait time and inadequate food. The food was tasteless and the avocado was clearly spoilt, yet still served (see photo). We did get a slight discount once we complained- however, it's not something I would expect. Unfortunately, this bad experience will stop me from returning.

Attending the wake of a very good friend, the staff really looked after us, nothing was too much trouble. There was space enough for us all to move mingle and catch up, to sit in the courtyard in the sun or shelter from the occasional shower. A fine place to celebrate Harry's life.

Okay place to go. The ladies wanted cocktails so that's what they had - tad expensive.

Always great food and atmosphere. Service is good. Nice outdoor seating area and new terrace, especially on a hot day!

Great food. Always enjoy our visits - rather sit downstairs - they forget about you upstairs.

Lovely staff lovely food can't knock it.

Well worth a visit. Not overpriced, food is delicious. Recommend the DV8 chips. Nice cosy atmosphere.

Great place, came here for breakfast and lunch. Fantastic portions, delicious food and great atmosphere! Prices were good too, £11 for a full English (photo attached). Also made them aware of my allergy requirements and they were able to easily accommodate that 👍

Great that there is now more space/tables! Having emailed ahead the Manager replied promptly to assure me that our largish party would be accommodated even though they don't take bookings which was good. We visited early Friday evening to celebrate my daughter's birthday and even though it was only 5pm it was already getting busy, however our table of 8 was seated quickly in the upstairs extended part. We had balloons and a cake with us, which was no problem. Sophie welcomed us and was really helpful with everything, sorting out the cake, nothing was too much trouble and we felt really looked after. We all enjoyed the great food and drinks and our service was so friendly and efficient. A really lovely experience after not visiting in quite a while, thank you to all 😊

A nice cozy place to have a few drinks and a tasty meal with friends and family.

We went to DV8 Saturday lunch time with our pooch. We were directed to the newer part which was empty at the time. I thought we would be forgotten about and that it would lack atmosphere but it was warm and cozy and the staff looked after us great. We had food and cocktails and all were fab. Love this additional part to DV8

As a regular visitor to DV8 we are always made to feel very welcome. I had the chunky chips with chicken and bacon with BBQ sauce and goats cheese and my partner had the southern fried chicken burger, both were delicious and piping hot The staff are very professional and efficient and the place runs like clockwork, we would highly recommend for both food and drinks

Lovely food and dog friendly room .

A nice venue, good varied menu. I particularly enjoy going there for breakfast before it gets too busy and a bit too noisy for me. Sometimes the coffee could be hotter

We went in for a quick bite. We had DV8 platter and cheesy garlic bread to share between us and it was good, the staff were attentive and polite. If we go back around Congleton, we will definitely go again. Highly recommended.

I love DV8 and always visit here when seeing family. The building inside is beautiful with old beams and a really cosy atmosphere. My fave to eat is the DV8 chunky chips, with chicken, bacon, cheese and BBQ sauce. Heaven in a bowl! It can get busy but it’s well worth the wait and I’m already looking forward to going back.

Food is brilliant here every time we come, however service could do with being more consistent though. Last few times we have been we have been seated down by staff who say someone will be with you shortly. Only to wait 10-15 minutes for someone to come back and take our drinks order. In the meantime, others are being seated on other tables after us who end up getting served before us. On our last visit the table to our side arrived 10 minutes after us but ended up finishing their meal and leaving before our food even arrived? We keep returning hoping for a better experience as the food is just so good though.

Big thank you to staff for accommodating our group of 12 last night , hardly waited , great food as always 👌, busy night for staff , service faultless , thank you

Very accommodating. Lovely staff and great food.

Great cocktails, beers and outstanding food. I highly recommend DV8 to everyone.

Quaint venue, excellent food and staff.

First but not last visit. Lovely time had

Lovely Brunch had by all, I will be certainly going back

Went to listen to a theatre group and sing some songs. Beautiful inside and really good service. We had cocktails, mine been non alcoholic, which were fantastic!

The loaded fries are incredible I keep going back for them, really nice cocktails pretty much tried the whole menu now, the zombie is really good!

Great vibe at this restaurant. Brilliant just for drinks too. Cocktails looked amazing. Staff were really good too.

Always can be sure of a delicious, tasty meal 😋 Pay a little more but always well worth it. Wonderful outdoor area where one can dine or can be seated indoors, either upstairs or downstairs, and take in the cosy decor. Staff are always friendly, happy and helpful 😊

Called in with my wife without booking on a Wednesday evening and taken to an available table. Service was pleasant and efficient, food was good, no complaints at all.

The food and service at DV8 never disappoint. It is my granddaughters favourite restaurant in Congleton. We always recommend it to people. It's so popular that sometimes best to go off peak to be certain of a table. Love the place!

Such a great place, I went today for the first time with my partner and from the moment we walked in, we felt warmly welcomed 🥰 The place has managed to unusually design an atmosphere that is cosy, yet classy. Where the staff are so professional, yet so friendly. As it was our first time, I’m not sure if it is a regular thing, but there was also an amazingly talented acoustic guitarist, playing flowing, relaxing songs. The staff are passionate about dishing out amazing food, and amazing service! If you want to be feel relaxed, calm and fulfilled, this is the place to go to 😊 I can imagine they have a lot of regulars. Thank you 😊🍔🥗🍹🎶🕯️🧡

Nice bar with great food - portions are great for the money. Great options of cocktails, mocktails etc. Chip bowls are great with enormous portions (they do do a smaller size also) with great toppings. Recommend a trip for sure!

Fantastic food and atmosphere, brilliant day or night, would highly recommend. Fantastic Birthday meal this evening, delicious 😋🤤

Excellent little place with good range of drinks and food with great atmosphere 👍

Excellent food good atmosphere great staff

Lovely food and great cocktails went again today (24/6/23) and had a lovely time. Food was lovely staff are on the ball and it has a great atmosphere. Who could want more??

Always lovely staff. The portions of great food are huge

New menu so tried the steak Thai salad. It was beautiful. Nice to have a few more healthy options. Kids loved the DV8 beef brisket chips too

Had an amazing time, chilled excellent service and great food. Highly recommend. The sharing platter was delicious.

DV8 is currently the premier hangout in Congleton. Good food, mid-tier prices and a lovely atmosphere. They have a wide selection and decent portion sizes, A selection of craft beers, A beautiful outdoor area. The upper floor is very traditional in decor and um... height, so if you're tall you may want to duck. If you fancy a break from, or are too fancy for Wetherspoons. Give them a shot!

I just love this place. Great food, great drinks, awesome cocktails, excellent staff, lovely setting.

Great food , atmosphere and characterful surroundings.

4 stars cause the food is good but could be better. Love the yard sitting and atmosphere. Dogs allowed. Very friendly place

Friendly staff, great range of food and drink. Nice atmosphere too.

A great bar with unique cocktails, service is friendly but can be hit or miss when trying to get attention

Great service and food. I had the full breakfast burger. Would recommend

Attended my neices 21st Birthday party on a Tuesday staff were extremely great all night we all had a fantastic time great venue only small but cosy xxx

Chips are amazing, and so are the cocktails!!

Not the best experience. Quite rude young lad behind the bar. Especially after paying for food I couldn’t eat.

The food was really good. However, the cocktails are made with cheaper spirit brands which do not taste the best.

Went with my 2 daughters. Nice & cosy but I remember it from many years ago when it was Littles. Staff friendly & efficient. We all had cocktails which were reasonably priced. We'll be back!👍

I've never been overly impressed with either of the dv8's I've been to. The food is average at best and the beer range is very limited. It's pretty pricey for what you get. On the plus though, the service from the staff has always been excellent.

Lovely food and really friendly staff. Had an amazing goats cheese salad, very tasty.

4 of us including 3 year old. I had gammon eggs chips. Sounds standard boring but it was great. Best gammon chips had for a long time. Think nice thick gammon, 2 eggs, nice mushroom and tomato, pineapple was like a big chip. Good chips. Other two had wraps that were good but not as good as mine. Took me twice as long to eat. Maybe not a big choice for kids. Can be finicky. Grandson had hummus which was plentiful. Interesting selection of ales. I had an ipa which grew on me after 2 Service was slow due to a big party in. Staff were nice and helpful. An interesting place. Will go again. Price reasonable vs. all prices going up everywhere.

Lovely atmosphere, great food and drinks

Great Service. Staff seemed very friendly. Good beer and ale. Didn't eat but the food looked great.

Delicious cocktails served by James who is always fantastic :)

I love DV8! It has a lovely atmosphere, the food is good and the cocktails are excellent! It's a favourite for sure

Best food & drinks in Congleton by a long way. I absolutely love the cocktails here 😍 Service is always good & staff are always friendly. Never been disappointed going here. 😊😊

Lovely food very well priced staff we're very nice

Service very good. the food was amazing. I would highly recommend

Once more amazing afternoon of food and cocktails Great service warm welcome and delightful location Never disappointed with our visits

Keep your coat on and prepare to pay for expensive drinks!

Impromptu meal out in an unfamiliar town. Very busy, staff were friendly and very attentive. Food was very good; We had light bite/snack which was plenty. Lovely chunky chips and the salad was just right (room temperature not fridge cold). Chicken wrap had loads of chicken in it.

Nice food and good cocktails. Always been busy every time I've been there. The DV8 chips are really tasty and the superfood stir fry

Always great food and drinks. Cosy place too and friendly staff!

Always have a pleasant time in DV8. The atmosphere is nice but always very busy so can struggle to find space to enjoy a drink! The drinks are nice, some are very sweet of you don't have a sweet tooth just to be warned! The food is nice and the service is good on the whole. A bit expensive for what it is which is the only downside, but fairly average for the town.

Actual food was good when we received it. Numerous errors in the orders and a 1.5 hour wait for food. Usually pretty laid back and when we raised the issues they were rectified however when the waitress started questioning our concerns and stating our wait time wasn’t true and if we had informed them we would have discounted ( she said this after we paid the bill) very defensive and really poor customer service. Will not be returning!

Jack is amazing, thank you for a lovely tea x

I LOVE coming here; from it's cosy and inviting atmosphere, excellently presented, delicious range of food and quirky seating arrangements to it's revolutionary and fun cocktail choices and meticulous customer focused service, you're guaranteed to have a great time.

We were staying in Congleton between Christmas and New Year and was looking for somewhere to have lunch and a drink with our 2 daughters and 2 dogs. We asked if we could come in with the dogs and were shown to the dog friendly area which was so lovely. Really cosy and comfortable. The atmosphere at this place is really warm and welcoming and the food was amazing!!! I had the beef sandwich which was one of the best sandwiches I'd ever eaten. My husband had the chilli nachos and they were equally as good. Really generous portions too for the price! The girls wanted sides and cheesy chips which they ate every bit of! The service was brilliant and everyone including the other customers were very friendly and chatty. Gutted we don't live closer as I would definitely be a regular customer!

The food here is amazing. Portions a very large and taste great. Lovely decor and atmosphere.

We went last night to the Christmas special which are being held in the small enclosed area on Monday and Tuesdays evenings. Have to say it was amazing, food was great and plenty of and Lucy who looked after us was such a lovely helpful girl.

We had the private room upstairs in the new building - it was excellently decorated (as all Dv8 is) and the staff were attentive, polite and offered excellent service. Not the best venue for those of us over 6ft tall 🤣 I've not given 5-star as there was some confusion about a group and the payments for the buffet and drinks. Otherwise fantastic, will definitely go back.

Lounge area not fully dog friendly. We love DV8 and as we had seen on Facebook their lounge area advertised as dog friendly we decided to pop in. I asked staff in the bar area to check it was dog friendly then asked again when we entered the lounge and we had a lovely warm welcome. As we were choosing our seat someone ran in who I assume was the manager telling us that there are people who want to eat in here so we couldn't sit here with the dog and we were asked to sit outside. We didn't want to sit outside as its too cold for our dog soand we didn't want to stay somewhere advertised as dog friendly but not really feeling welcome. There are lots of places that have dog friendly areas and we heav never been asked to leave when people come in without a dog! This was really disappointing and we won't be going back in a rush even without the dog.

Efficient & friendly staff, great food & lovely surroundings. Couldn't fault it at all.

The food is always delicious and the staff are very friendly and they go that extra mile to make you feel welcome. I visited yesterday for lunch and it was my birthday and they went out and bought me a birthday card and I was extremely touched by the gesture it was very kind of them and it made my day.

Great place, recently renovated knocking through to what was an old shop, which I think is more the bar area, rather than food. The food is amazing, great portions and a great range to accommodate food preferences. Staff are always really friendly and very on top of things, don't leave you waiting long. Lovely to sit outside under the heaters and give you snuggly blankets. Definitely would recommend.

Absolutely great place, recently extended, allowing for a bigger upstairs space with a separate bar for private functions. Top class drinks and food.

Always nice for a meet up with friends,friendly staff,nice atmosphere and the food is always fab!
