Wilbraham Bar and kitchen in Cheshire East

Visited the Wilbrahams on my lunch break. I found everyone to be incredibly welcoming and friendly. There was a wide range of options on the food menu, I went with the grilled cheese sandwich and was not disappointed! Generous portions, great value for money and friendly staff.

Great food and staff. Unfortunately, it's not a suitable place for kids. You would expect 3pm on a Sunday would be suitable. Full on middle aged men's swearing and gobbling off all afternoon. Okay with mates but do not take your kids

New owners Cat and Buck are amazing hosts lovely little pub New menu recently added called for lunch today and food was perfect Highly recommend

Such a shame the heart has been torn out of this once lovely interior. Was a historic old pub with wood panelling, original old doors and separate bars. Now one big space with several large screen TVs on the walls dominating the whole pub and making it difficult to have a conversation without shouting. Awful choice of beers and all served chilled. Couldn't wait to leave and find somewhere calm and relaxing.

Myself &my husband went to sample their new breakfast menu this weekend, and boy we were not disappointed . Hubby had the big breakfast 🍳 and it was BIG, I had the muffin, both of us agreed it was Delicious and such good value for money Will certainly be returning VERY SOON. Staff couldn’t do enough for us, even bring over a bowl of water for our pup 🐶 xxx Thank you guys xxx

Abusive landlady when i complained about vile out of date beer. I was threatened infront off kids and swore at because I asked to swap the beer. My family was fuming and we walked out. Never ever I have experienced as bad customer service as that they are not fit to run a brothel.

We booked a table for 13 for birthday breakfast and we were not disappointed . We all had something different and it all arrived hot and delicious. The large was as it said LARGE so if you can tuck away a breakfast for a king this is a must ! We will return soon. Thank you for a great start to a birthday

What more can I say, had the large breakfast this morning, I asked if I could have fried bread, French toast, cinnamon bread or eggy brief, nothing was too much all options available on request. Great people who always go the extra mile. Keep up the great work.

Rude and abusive landlord and landlady, poor quality beer and food that cheap but really poor quality with pretty questionable hygiene. Most locals avoid - suggest you do too.

Walked in to such a warm welcome it felt like coming home. It was a Wednesday so a special was 2 steak and bottle of wine for £25 what a bargain. We added a portion of onion rings and a couple of us had their burgers. Everything was brilliant very generous portions, perfectly cooked steak and burgers which are home made. All in all a great find would recommend and visit again

The food and service was excellent I had salt and pepper calamari as starter my partner had cheesey garlic bread which was so tasty I then had the New Yorker with chunky fries my partner had fish and chips they were delicious. We will definitely be back , the portions were substantial a bit to much for me so I got a doggy bag Thank you

Unwelcoming atmosphere. Have allergies can only drink full fat coke ie Pepsi or Coca Cola from can or bottle non available asked if could use my own yes but was charged 80p because of using my own which was later refunded on complaint. Bar staff then found coke in bottle which when served was flat. Customers brought chippy food in we asked if we could do like wise and told yes by bar staff to then get a barrage of rude sarcastic comments by landlady locals were horrified she then also refused to come out and face us and apologies for her very unprofessional behaviour in a public place when invited to do so. Definitely somewhere not to visit far more welcoming pubs in Nantwich that know what the meaning of professional customer service is

Fantastic place, the welcome we got when we walked in was great, made to feel like you have been there like yesterday, we took our dog,and Sam and Ian ,just loved him, the lad behind the bar was fantastic too. We had a sandwich, which was amazing. Can't wait to go back here, I can honestly say you will not be disappointed. Well done Sam and Ian, spot on.

My friends and I came to Nantwich and came across this pub for lunch. Lovely food, in a nice beer garden with fantastic service. Has so few reviews as the pub was previously on here known as The Wilbraham Arms - Bar and Kitchen) We arrived shortly before last food orders for the afternoon and their chef kindly stayed on to ensure that our food was both cooked and okay for us. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

This pub is really good with great beer, excellent food and very friendly staff. The food comes piping hot. Eaten in here a couple of times and really enjoyed the food. Keep it up!

I had a fabulous meal - rump steak medium rare - delicious and juicy - very tender and no excess fat - chips yummy - crispy on outside fluffy inside - big mushroom grilled toms and sidesalad - great relaxed atmosphere and great service with a smile - will definitely have that again 😁

Excellent food, excellent prices. We went for a birthday meal with a mix of ages and meal requirements. Every request was catered for even if it wasn't on the menu. The staff could not have done any more for us.

We had a nice welcome as soon as we walked in and the food was very good indeed. I understand the Sunday lunches are already very popular so we had better book a table. We will definitely be back,

Wow,what can I say about these lads,Ben and Wayne are the best, we have been coming for months having Sunday lunch, which by the way is the best, but on Christmas Eve we asked if we could have a corner of the pub, yes no problem, and they said we could have a buffet as well, omg, it was amazing, nothing is ever to much for them, they have a great team working for them as well, the acts they get are brilliant, I could go on and on, but you need to go here if you haven't already, thank you Ben and Wayne. Love you both. 😘😘

My sister and brother and myself took our dad for Father's day lunch. Wayne and Ben had reserved a table for us as we were all travelling from afar to surprise him. We went in before the time it was booked but the reservation was ready. The food was excellent, plenty of meat, potatoes and freshly prepared veg with good old fashioned jugs if gravy. We were too full for pudding but they looked equally as good. Well done boys, you are making it a great place..

Came here homeless hoping for a warm blanket however it was a Monday and they were closed. ALL the homeless people in Nantwich were sad

Beautiful pub, really friendly, really clean and lovely landlords xx And the act was absolutely fantastic! First visit and it will not be the last xx

Went for sunday lunch yesterday and we were not dissapointed!The beef was to die for perfectly cooked and the yorkshires were done like my mum used to make them perfect!Lots of fresh veg and cracking cauliflower cheese could not fault anything including the staff and the atmosphere.We live in stapeley so bit of a walk but its worth it.Please visit its a lovely place we will def be back . Oh and look out for toto the little dog what a character.

The Wilbrahams on Welsh Row is A lovely place, clean, well run with a friendly atmosphere. Great choice of Beers and Lagers. We had a fantastic Roast Beef Dinner here today for just £8.95. Would highly recommend this bar to anybody who visits Nantwich. Martin & Nickie - Manchester

Not been here for a while and used many times for Sunday lunch but after todays visit think it will be a very long time before I go again food was average it was as if not one oils be bothered cutting the veg it was all huge chunks table although booked was not ready we had to wait for them to squeeze to tables together . The once seated waited 20 mins to be bought menu we opted for carvery. Then we had to get some one come clear the table having sat there with empty plates at least 20 minutes then had to go ask for desert menu waited again for someone take order ended up going to bar to place order. Then waited over half hour for dessert s not a good time

We went to watch Terri Fox. It was very busy. The atmosphere was really good and the owners are lovely. Staff were very nice too. Good drinks choice and nice to see this place busy and thriving. Great night was had by all. Thank you.

We had the Willy's Wopper at lunchtime and it was delicious as usual. Good food, good service and reasonably priced

In the last 5 months this pub has opened and closed more times than I can remember! The company that are looking after the pub are laughable! The Brewery that own it are not much better.... they have single handily destroyed that pub... when it is open there is no atmosphere and no beer... nobody ventures there any more because you never know if its open or closed! Get some permanent staff in there... invest some money in its repairs and promoting the place and it could be a decent pub again... but while the pub is left how it is now it has no hope of succeeding and will probably become flats (and that's the last thing we need around here) get a grip and sort it out!!!!!

Mi compañero y yo recientemente vino a este pub y nos gustó tanto que nos trajo nuestro amigo con nosotros cuando él llegó! Los dueños son absolutamente preciosa (y así es su perro! ) y la mesa de billar es sólo 50 peniques. Las cervezas tienen en siempre increíble, mi favorito era el oro! Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

I live by the wilbrahams and often pop into my local, I find the place welcoming and friendly, the management are nice and friendly, I get to meet all my neighbours in there and have a chat, I can happily go in on my own and feel comfortable, it is a shame about there being no food on atm, but I am sure this will soon change and there will be a menu out soon

Metimos en lunes por la noche con dos amigos. Aparte de nosotros y el camarero, el lugar estaba vacío.

Cuando la casa de caza en y alrededor de la zona de nantwich, decidimos tener un parada en la ciudad de nantwich para un almuerzo, y quizás un medio pinta según cómo estábamos haciendo tiempo.

Fuimos por una oferta dos por uno en los meses de invierno tranquilas. Yo estaba muy impresionado por la calidad y variedad. Éramos las únicas personas allí. Yo tenía una hamburguesa de champiñones que estaba delicioso. El personal era muy amable. Regresaré pronto :-)

Disfruta de unos días en los canales 2 grados muy fría. Pero una cálida bienvenida aquí. Timothy Taylor ale en excelente estado. Comida excelente! Sabroso, buena selección, buena relación calidad-precio y porciones decentes! Es importante cuando usted ha estado afuera en un día frío de febrero!

Nuevo chef ha hecho la diferencia. Branquias realmente porque esto significa que mi esposa se arrastra al pub más a menudo para comer la comida y bebida, a echarle me costo una fortuna! ! !

Very well presented meal, that tasted good. Took advantage of the burger night deal and it was good value. Service quick and friendly.

Since our previous visit in October 2015 the Wilbraham has changed ownership. Same decor & layout. I was looking forward to a relaxing evening, but that wasn't to be. The noise levels from a large party of 16 all shouting above each other made it very uncomfortable. We were a party of 6 & we couldn't converse.Very limited menu & a new chef. The service was ok. The food we had was pleasantly good & served well.Hopefully as the place settles, it will improve.

I took my Mother to the Wilbrahams for dinner on Christmas Day and the experience was excellent and good value for money. The food was magnificent, from the parfait starter, traditional turkey with all the trimmings to the Christmas cake it was absolutely spot on. The staff were in great spirits also and I would highly recommend giving this place a try.

Lovely evening again, Pie and a Pint night is really good value and great food. Also if you give them 24 hours notice the chef will make you a gluten free pie. Veggie option changes every week and it's no where near the 'cheese and onion' choice usually available on most menus! Well worth a visit, warm atmosphere and attentive service.

We popped in for a drink and ended up staying to eat . It's a very friendly and comfortable environment with pleasant staffThe food was good, service ok but could have been speedierWe'll definitely give it another go

Spur of moment lunch out. Arrived 12.15, nice warm welcome. Drinks arrived swiftly and food order quickly taken. Then told mushroom starter off, no king prawns or pie and mash as they had been very busy yesterday! Pie and mash not ready for another hour!!Good start!! However prawns served on bruschetta, very nice as was the black pudding and bacon. 3 steaks nicely cooked and well presented. Place busy BUT only one person serving and he was also waiting on the tables until nearly two o'clock which was a pity. This is a lovely place to eat but needs a little more organisation.

Had great lunch in the wilbrahams . Steak, mushroom and Guinness pie with mash and gravy,very tasty . well worth a visit.

I encouraged my partner to go for a drink in this bar. Whilst the decor and drinks were fine the staff were unfriendly. The barman was busy but didnt even look up and the bar lady approached us-no smile no hello. felt very unfriendly place to be and i wished we had gone to another pub (of which there are plenty in Nantwich). We will not be going back to this pub.

As we live close to the Wilbrahams we decided after looking at all of the posted pictures to have an evening at this establishment.We were greeted by a young female member of staff, must add we had not booked.We were informed there were tables available.Sitting down we waited 10-15 minutes to be spoken to for drinks or food.I asked for a pint of bitter, to be informed that there was none as she believed the lines are being cleaned ( on a Wednesday evening in xmas week?) so changing brands I asked for an erdinger ( never heard of that one , was the reply)wine it is then. None of the menu had prices on just individual numbers. Our grandson ordered a beef burger, my wife ordered Salmon and I ordered fish. Drinks served we noticed that two other tables were also waiting. As we were waiting I noticed two friends were also in having drinks. While talking to them I was informed that the beer he had ordered was not drinkable. Upon returning to the table I was informed they had no burgers! We had garlic bread with cheese topping for starters which was very nice. This took 47 mins after we arrived. Our mains were also very nice. The only sweet that was required for our grandson which was part of the children's set menu, was ice cream. Finished and getting a little late we tried to settle the bill. This young lady was not the only member of staff who was working, but when the time comes to settle the bill she was busy serving drinks to a large sociable group of office staff. Finally we got the bill, questioning that our grandsons J20 should have been free as part of his fixed menu we were informed that it was cordial only. Then we were also informed that the sweet in the children's section was also not part of the deal. The bill was £63 which is not cheap for a Wednesday meal, you may be my nearest establishment but I will not be returning

We were out in Nantwich at the start of December and wanted a drink before heading off to a restaurant. Everywhere was packed with it being the first weekend of Christmas parties, we headed to the Wilbrahans and were very surprised it was so quiet. There were a couple of tables eating and a few people drinking in the bar, not what we were expecting. For us it was great as we had a choice of tables. The service was really good, friendly and efficient and we really couldn't fault it. I do hope that this was just a one off as this is a nice pub and deserves to be busy.

My husband and I called in on the off chance tonight. I ordered liver and orange pate and my husband black pudding stack. He then followed with a rare rib eye steak and I had the black pudding stack starter with a portion of chips. We also ordered the house Pinot Grigio. The meal was spot on, really tasty and freshly cooked. Plates hot too. We were very impressed and the chips were to die for, definitely hand cut home made chips, think cooked in dripping.So tasty. The house wine was well chilled and very good value. Also a very pleasant helpful young man as our waiter.Will definitely be going back again, well worth a try.

As there are new owners I am sure there have been a few teething problems but all in all Matt and Charvelle are doing an outstanding job!! Not tried food since the new head chef has arrived but will be very shortly!! Menu not too big but a great variety and the gins are great too!!

Amazing food tonight. Tandoori halloumi burger was awesome, it's a must to try. Compliments to the new chef Ian ☺

Our family visited Wilbrahams to celebrate my husbands birthday. Food was excellent and plenty of it. Good ambience.New hosts Matt & Charvelle introduced themselves giving us an insight to their previous pubs.Music was supplied by Jamie Austin who was brilliant this put the cherry on the top of a perfect evening.

It has been recommended by a friend since being taken over, wow! the food, presentation and service were all excellent! i couldn't have asked for more! the young lad with dark facial hair (can't remember his name)serving us was so friendly polite and helpful, made us feel very welcome and like nothing was too much trouble! fantastic attitude to have towards customers! the food was great, delicious, hot and well presented! will definitely be recommending and re-visiting! you made our Sunday (27th) the best Sunday dinner we've had! much better than the usual carvery we USED to go for!

We visited The Wilbraham Bar and Grill yesterday evening for a family catch up having heard that it was under new management and it had, had a couple of good reviews. I must start by saying the atmosphere when we arrived at 1745 was wonderful. It was nice and busy and we were seated on a table at the back of the restaurant (there were 6 of us). However, despite it being early and not at maximum capacity, the service wasn't the best - it was extremely slow. One of our party started a self service routine from the bar; we placed the order for drinks and saw them waiting at the bar on a tray, ready to be bought to our table.The ice in my gin steadily melting and the coke slowly losing it's fizz so having confirmed they were our drinks, we took them to our table and served ourselves. Not the best first impression. Now, me being me on a carb free lifestyle routine at the moment, to start, I ordered the prawn and avocado cocktail without the ciabatta. It is expectation for prawns to be cold when they arrive in a prawn cocktail but it is certainly not expectation for them still to be blue - raw which they were so, I sent them back without a substitute as it put me off. I played it safe and ordered another portabello gin instead (thank goodness for this gin as I was entering drunkenness quite rapidly). Again, self service kicks in. Onto the mains. Everyone, except myself, ordered steak which received excellent reviews on taste and tenderness. The chips also received great reviews. This was a great shame for the table of 9 sat behind us who came in around 1930 as they were informed that the steaks had sold out (it was a table of rugby lads, I can't imagine it went down too well). For my main course, I chose the Malaysian vegetable curry without the naan (no carbs) and didn't intend on eating the rice however, I had to eat some as this was the best part of the dish. The curry comprised of red onion, red pepper and what looked like salad tomatoes - it was not a good texture. The vegetables were all sliced with the onions still holding their crunch (this is not acceptable in a curry) and the sauce resembled that of coconut milk with some orange spice in it, I would say turmeric was key element however I can't quote as I don't know what recipe is being used. We didn't stick around for dessert as it took a rather long while to have plates cleared and we didn't dare order another round of drinks! I think the lack of food consumption is why I pretty much stumbled out. Please can you consider your headcount in employees as the two ladies who were working front of house (one on the bar and one on the floor) definitely tried their best but obviously struggled with accommodating all of your customers which long term, is going to contribute to loosing custom and it would be a shame to see another management team leave this premises based on easily rectifiable issues. The kitchen situation, to be honest, I don't think this is excusable and failed on service.I am sorry to write what seems like a very critical review. Nonetheless, without such honesty - where can the improvement lie?

The Wilbrahams is our local and we have visited many times :) Last night we decided to try out the new menu, which looks great. The food was faultless as was the service provided by Matt, the new Landlord. Very friendly, great atmosphere even though it wasn't that busy. Looking forward to trying out some more of the delicious dishes on offer. A great place to visit.

As locals to the area, we love to support local. We visit a good few times a week, however this review is from 21/10 which was my dads birthday mealThere were 6 of us and we can not fault a single thing. All food is made from fresh. Dad could not get enough of his home made beef and vegetable pie. There happened to be live music on this particular evening. It was amazingHope Matt and Charvelle can make this place a huge success.

Stopped off at the Wilbraham Arms for lunch with my mum, sister and 2 aunts yesterday 27 October 2016 and I cannot fault this place. Situated on the delightful Welsh Row just a short stroll from the main town of Nantwich. Nice relaxed atmosphere with parking at the back. Service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the cheese pie, the pastry of which was just out of this world, haven't had such good pastry for a long time! I will be back for sure!

Me and a friend came here on Wednesday night (19th Oct).We ordered two drinks which were 1 water and 1 wine.Sat at our table which has dirty cutlery on. We ordered our food which was one Caesar salad and then a portion of the creamy garlic mushrooms and a portion of chips. This food took around 50 minutes to arrive to our table when the restaurant was less than half full and also very simple meals. When the food had finally arrived, the Caesar salad was drenched in a sauce that I'm not entirely sure was Caesar sauce and the creamy mushrooms were tasteless with alot more sauce than mushrooms. We then went to pay for the meal to have the waitress tell us that all the prices on the menu and till were incorrect and that she had to think of what the prices were.Not entirely impressed with our evening to be honest! I know that the pub has been taken over by new owners but we still weren't impressed as the evenings that we had with the previous owners were a lot more enjoyable. Hopefully the pub won't change too much from what it used to be like as it was a great place to be.

This meal was a delight! Starters were free and the roast beef pictured below was delicious. This is the second time we have been there within a couple of weeks and we are thrilled with the standards of cooking and friendliness of the staff. Can really recommend a visit

It was a nice atmosphere etc and only went in for a quick burger, The burger was a massive chicken breast. cooked to perfection and very juicy!Based on this I would recommend them and will be back again.great value for money.

We loved going here for Sunday breakfast but last time we went they told us they no longer serve breakfast. They had a really nice Eggs Benedict on sourdough and disappointed we had to find a new place to go.

I had a pasta dish which was basic pub grub standard. My wife had steak and ale pie, the crust was warm but the meat inside was stone cold as if straight from the fridge.We returned it to the kitchen and the staff man dealing with it gave us half a pint of lager between us ! as compensation. After a while my wifes replacement steak and ale pie meal was returned to the table. IT WAS THE ORIGINAL PIE they didn't think it was appropriate to give us a fresh pie. We will not be eating there again

Lovely food and great service. We visit here often and enjoy the atmosphere. Menu has recently changed and I have to say it's for the better. Good options available for vegetarians and fantastic rhubarb crumble ☺

Ate from the new menu, good selection of food and starters, reasonably priced and well presented. Staff are friendly and polite. My wife is vegetarian and found several choices that were very good.

A new chef has arrived and he's very good.They have a new concept that I have never experienced before Sunday sharing platters. There is a choice of 5 roast meats choose one or all of them.They are delious accompanied by Yorkshire puds crispy roast potatoes and fresh vegetables if you can manage a pudding after well done.

My husband and I visit here at least once every three weeks. It is always very well presented and well cooked. We have never had a poor meal. Highly recommend this pub/restaurant.

My daughter purchased an afternoon tea voucher for four person from Groupon as a Christmas gift for me.I invited 3 very good friends to share this treat but it turned out to be a complete disaster.When we entered this Pub it smelled of beer which put me off straight away. we were greeted in a friendly way by the barman and shown to our table. The barman asked if we wanted tea or coffee which we ordered. When the drinks were delivered they were cold, We complained and they were taken away and return hot.The barman delivered 2 plates of sandwiches cakes and scones. The sandwiches were delicious but the scones were rock hard and we couldn't cut them let alone eat them. I complained and were told there was not any more. The barman offered more cake but by that time we were very disappointed with the whole experience and I felt very embarrassed for my friends and myself. The cake by the way was not little dainty delicacies but large portions which did not look appetiizing at all.My friends and I were so disappointed and would definitely not recommend this awful establishment to anyone.

Good choice of food. Specials on Friday fish also came with free glass of prosecution . Lovely! Starters white bait gorgeous. Mains fish,chips and peas. Mussels. Salmon with new potatoes.beef and potato pie. The latter arrived with no gravy and pie content was glutinous. Gravy was requested and finally arrived 20 mins later when rest of meal was cold. We were not charged but it did ruin the family evening out.Be prepared to wait if you go.

We came her as a party of 3 a week ago and the food was superb, well cooked and the best chips i have ever tasted, so for my partner's birthday we decided to invite some friends and family for a Birthday meal, the food was ok but the chips were almost burnt and tasted like they were cooked in dirty oil, and lukewarm. Infact most of the food was just lukewarm, my fish cakes tasted like they had been microwaved from frozen although they were piping hot, no brown edges like they had been oven baked or lightly fried and wheres the sweet chilli sauce , A visit to the pheasant or the Cholmondeley Arms would show the quality expected from gastro priced food. Very disappointing!!!!! I could have cooked a better meal myself.

Birthday treat for my mother in law with the family. Lovely pub with quirky decor. Service a little disappointing, needed quite a lot of prompting. However staff were pleasant and the afternoon tea was delicious served on a wooden plank!

We had a groupon voucher for afternoon tea.It was excellent,presentation was amazing.The staff were lovely.We will return again when we visit my daughter who lives in Nantwich.

An early doors visit to this very tidy, nicely decorated restaurant. We were greeted by the staff with a cheery greeting and a smile. Always a good start. Our drinks order was taken at our table, menu and specials explained. Good selection on the menu and as it was a Friday fish was a special including a free glass of prosecco. Very nice thank you. We ordered starters and main courses. Pate followed by duck and fish cakes followed by sea bass. All was served well presented and perfectly cooked. We were not rushed and the staff were attentive. We enjoyed our visit and will return.

The cheese board here is amazing and brilliant value for money! The service is always great in here all the staff are lovely and always offer service with a smile! Definitely recommend a visit.

Went with a group of friends for afternoon tea that turned into very boozy late night as such a lovely place. Staff were fabulous and service was very good even when the place got busier later. Afternoon Tea food wise was disappointing as other reviewers have said. We used Groupon vouchers and not sure I would want to pay anymore than £10 for what we had (this included glass of prosecco). Sandwiches were on thick white bread that was a little stale as though they had been prepared some time earlier. Scones were beautiful albeit our cream tasted of garlic (assume the cream had been left in fridge near garlic and taken on taste). It was quickly replaced though with apologies, more cream/jam and warm fresh scones. Cant complain, things happen and they dealt with it very well. Cakes were just shop bought small choc brownies and small 'slab' cakes sliced very thin with a bunch of grapes included for some strange reason. Actual food was disappointing and needs more home made cakes and better presentation for me. Staff were fabulous though, couldn't fault them at all. Friendly, professional and efficient. Building itself was lovely, nicely decorated and clean. Tables and chairs were comfortable. Would definitely go again for drinks.

Been a few times now and food and service is definitely getting better.Staff are friendly and the occasional live music make for a good experience Good to see

We arrived, really fast service. Where given a private, romantic table. There was a member of staff who provided us with the afternoon tea platter first with sandwiches and really nice tea pot of tea for myself and perfectly brewed coffee for my wife. The cakes arrived with fresh clotted cream and jam that accompanied the gorgeous scones. The atmosphere although quiet was perfect for our cheap group on afternoon out. The members of staff couldn't do enough for us. Would we go again: most definately. It was a great experience and the food was perfect.Would we recommend to friends : yes I would highly recommend the afternoon tea.

My experience of the afternoon tea is very similar to other people. The food does not tease good and the service is really bad. The afternoon tea came 40 minutes after the coffee. They do not provide refill for free and I ate the very low quality of food with cold coffee. The service is not very good, I do not think I will visit here again.

A friend and I went for lunch today to the Wilbraham Bar and kitchen. We were the only customers in the place. When we were shown the menu we were told that there was no soup and no pasta. Asked why she said it was because yesterday was a Monday. I settled for the smoked salmon sandwich. She returned saying that there was no smoked salmon! I made a comment that Tuesday was obviously a bad day to come. During our meal half a pint of lager was delivered to the kitchen. (We were still the only customers) As we were about to leave a customer came in and asked what the pasta dish was today. We were surprised when the waitress went into the kitchen to ask (I thought there was no pasta on the menu today?) She returned and told the customer what the pasta dish was! The customer waited to collect the dish to take it to his office. As we left we stopped to talk to him, explaining that we were told there was no pasta. He invited us to wait and see what they had made for him. In due course a large dish of pasta was brought out, covered in foil. When we expressed surprise to the waitress she told us it had only just come on the menu. Now, I ask you, how long does it take to cook pasta? It only took 10 minutes for the regular customer to receive his. Again I repeat we were the only customers in the place and yet pasta could not be prepared for us, although it can be for a regular customer. What does that say about the place? I live very locally to the Wilbraham Bar but will not be going in again. So my advice is don't go if you want soup, pasta or smoked salmon, don't go on a Tuesday and don't go unless you have an agreement with the kitchen. In fact don't go at all!

Went here for afternoon tea on a Groupon gift voucher, oh dear what a disappointment. On arrival we were each given a glass of Prosecco of dubious quality, tea of coffee were not offered, we had to ask for it after the board arrived containing the afternoon tea. finger sandwiches of thick white bread contained cheese, cheese and cucumber and a ham , all very dry. Two slices each of a fruit loaf and a Madeira type cake and two scones with a tidy dish of jam and a tiny dish of synthetic cream..Coffee arrived after we asked for it and that was palatable. There was no atmosphere to the place. Based on this experience I doubt that I would eat there again.

Whilst an awful lot better than the catastrophe that was the previous restaurant (closed in about 2013 in the end) - the new venture looks smart and classy.But it's actually a little over the top for my liking including the prices. Burgers were good, but the overly attentive manager who wanted to talk to us every ten minutes was irritating.Other mains took ages to arrive and were not really quite as fine dining as they claim they are.

Very disappointing, It was a groupon deal with a glass of presecco.I was looking forward to dainty sandwiches and tasteful cakes. What arrived was thick chunky fingers of bread with three fillings, ham/cheese/cucumber, all very bland. The bread wasn't particularly fresh. Cakes looked more appetising but again a bit bland.The member of staff who served us was polite.

I visited with my parents on a groupon voucher I had bought them as a gift. It was the first time any of us had been to the wilbaham bar and kitchen so didn't know what to expect.There is disabled access at the rear and also a car park, which is very useful as Welsh row can get quite busy. It was lovely and warm inside and we had a nice welcome from the cheery bar man. Our drinks were with us within minutes of sitting down and the cream tea arrived shortly after.The cream tea was served on a wooden platter as there were three of us and there was certainly plenty to choose from. The sandwiches were all fresh and the cakes appeared to be home made. Everything was really nice and refills on the coffee and tea came without any issue.It was very good value and I would definitely return to try the main menu.Nice atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. Worth a visit!

Like other reviewers we were here on a voucher deal-and a present to boot so one shouldn't be churlish. Nice cuppa but the asked for refill never appeared. Sandwiches rather dry and too thick. Slab cheese, smoked salmon and a sliced meat mixture. Scones tiny and dry, chocolate cake synthetic and rather nasty: didn't finish. Having said that, they tried: it was a plentiful tea, nicely presented with pleasant service. Just needed a little more finesse.

Very friendly bar. Great service at the bar and really attentive waiting staff. Menu absolutely spot on. Food quality excellent and the wine list matches up to the food really well. We've been here many times and we will definitely be back again soon.

If you're looking for a great venue with friendly staff this is the place for you ! Love that it's more popular with the over 21's and unlike Other pubs in Nantwich you can usually find somewhere to sit and are able to chat without shouting at each other! Thumbs up for the menu too

As one of my local favourite pub & restaurants I took some visiting relatives in for a meal & drinks in October & early December. As always we found the food excellent & the service very good. Will definitely keep visiting & would always recommend.

We popped in for a couple of drinks after work on a friday and ate great choice of platters. The best thing is the waitress, bar person serves more drinks at the tBle even though they were very busy with Christmas parties. Looking forward to trying the Sunday roast this weekend

We went for afternoon tea on a voucher deal.Very quiet on a midweek afternoon.Attentive and friendly young man looked after us.Good value with the voucher with above average nosh,

Spent a Friday night in The Wilbrahams with a group of girlfriends celebrating birthdays. Had a great night atmosphere of the pub very welcoming and the bar staff were very friendly and accommodating. Great place will definitely visit again. However they had live music on a duo playing acoustic guitar and singing!!!!!! Awful, it was too loud and they couldn't sing!!!!! Did it spoil the night ???? Not really but wouldn't go when live music on again. It's nice to be in a pub on a Friday night where you can chat without loud music The Wilbrahams is normally good for this, don't join the band wagon by having live music leave that to the other pubs.

We decided to call in having passed on several occasions. It was early Monday evening and the restaurant was empty but as the night progressed a few more people came in. We were greeted pleasantly and the room had a very nice shabby chic / contemporary feel to it. It was a bitter cold day and it was a shame that the log fires were not lit. When I asked if we could have a fire lit and sit near it this seemed to be a problem. The menu is quite varied with something for everyone but as we were only popping in for a quick meal my wife and I ordered steaks with fries etc. The wait time was acceptable and my steak was cooked just right. However my wife found that her steak was a bit too fatty for her liking and when this was mentioned to the waitress it was replaced without hesitation and very quickly - so much so that it was then a little too rare but she didn't want to have to send it back. I'm sure that it would have been given another minute or two in the pan if we had asked. The food was ok and good value for money. Cask ales were a bit thin on the ground with a choice of two but plenty of other draught and bottled beers were available. As stated, the main restaurant is very 'now' but I think that the sign of a top-end restaurant is the quality of the restrooms!! Somewhat unusual maybe but whilst the toilet areas were clean they are a bit basic and dated and could do with refurbishing to reflect the appearance trying to be created 'front-of-house'. Check out the Cock o' Barton near Chester for inspiration. All in all a quite pleasant experience and will definitely give it another shot.

Impromptu visit for a catch up with friends. This pub is a great place, lovely open fire and welcoming decor. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We ate from the bar menu and weren't disappointed. Overall I would recommend this pub.

Dropped in for a snack as I think it had recently reopened, we had a tempura board. This came with battered vegetables, the batter was not tempura, it would have been more at home on a piece of cod from the chippy up the road, chicken wings, which had been plucked from a seriously malnourished bird, coated in an over seasoned gloopy marinade, 2 prawn skewers also appeared the prawns tough and seemed only partially thawed, finally two bowls of salty dipping sauce I know the sauces are salty, but a gulp of beer followed every foray into the dish. We had a side of whitebait which was very dry with too much coating.I think the bill came to about 27 with one drink each, it felt too expensive for the quality of food served, the monkfish on the menu sounded good, except that I'm sure it was served with chips, which just doesn't seem right.Won't be rushing back maybe for a quick drink if I'm at that end of town. Must try harder I'm afraid.

Six of us booked for Saturday evening, first we were told there was no duck, monk fish or sweet potato chips, basically the best ingredients on the menu! The starter came which incl. tempora veg; which was not tempora batter. But thick batter! And what appeared to be leftover veg from lunch which incl. broccoli!! The waitress spilt the pot of soy sauce on us, the table was covered and my blouse splattered! It was an accident, however you would expect the waitress to clean it up, but no! We had to ask for a cloth & she brought over some extra napkins & made no attempt to clean it up. It got worse! The chicken skewers came which you could hardly see the tiny pieces of chicken amongst the pieces of raw carrots!!!! All 4 chicken skewers ordered were cold incl the chips. They were supposed to be served with pitta bread but came with a cheap tortillas! I had the plaice and the sauce was most unpleasant. We complained about the cold food and a small discount was given off the total bill, along with free drinks, but all in all an unpleasant experience & we left hungry.

Lovely meal can't wait go back again Skewers were amazing n very reasonable!Had starter 3 drinks n 2 mains £35

I visited here with my work colleagues before my visit I emailed 3 times to ask about gluten free options to which I received no reply! After numerous attempts at calling I finally got an answer however the person I spoke to appeared to have very little knowledge of what gluten free was... I don't expect anyone to be an expert however when you are in the food industry it surely is ideal to have some understanding of food allergies. Most restaurants I visit are more than helpful and some have even cooked me something off the menu! Anyway my choice ended in a Chicken Caesar Salad, without dressing, no cheese shavings and more rocket leaves than Asda stock! It was very bland, very dry and I could have made better at home myself. The service was slow considering we had all pre-ordered and there was only the ten of us in the entire restaurant. I would recommend that in this day and age that they really need to gain knowledge of modern food requirements as there is a lot of very strong competition out there that are far more clued up. I would visit for drinks however as an option to eat out this place isn't for me.

Very welcoming bar area and friendly staff. Just went in for a quick pint hoping for some decent ales and was disappointed. Only one hand pump and choice limited to the standard Heineken/Amstel/Guinness pumps. A pity as its a nice pub and the food looked pretty good from what we saw. Won't be returning until they are allowed to stock more 'craft' ales either on draft or bottles.

We visit very regularly and always have an excellent meal. The staff are always on the ball and very friendly. Just love this restaurant.

We said we would return, we did & we weren't disappointed. Great ambience to the bar area, welcoming & friendly staff. Solid food offer with good range of drinks. Hanging Kebabs on skewers superb, steaks very good. Try the "Jack Rabbit" sparkling white a very good fizz. Slightly noisy atmosphere was my only criticism, but it's the same in other venues in the same style.

Went to the Wilbrahams for lunch , the service was excellent and the food was a little delayed coming through as the young man who was serving was very honest and said he dropped it ha ha but we were OK as the bar is really nice and we just chilled while our food arrived (we did have a bowl of complementary fries ) the food was excellent really tasty , the coleslaw side was delicious

I had visited here twice since it recently changed hand and on both occasions received poor service and no atmosphere at all! I will not be returning

I rejected my food which was a simple order of ham, egg and chips. It arrived as almost uncooked gammon, hard fried eggs and greasy pub chips. We visited with a table of ten friends at approx 12.45pm on a Saturday. We were the only people in there. Having complained about the lack of quality in my meal and the fact it was undercooked, the staff swiftly removed my meal. I was not asked if I wanted a replacement or an alternative. 15 minutes later, I was served again with a replacement that was as bad as the first. I subsequently spent the rest of the meal without anything and chose to get a chip butty from the chip shop on the same street. Will NOT be returning. Of course, I was not billed for the meal but no compensation was offered to reflect my disappointing experience at this venue that has recently reopened under new management

Enjoy this lovely bar and restaurant in Nantwich. Great welcome by both bar staff and waiting on staff.My wife and I enjoy the odd Sunday lunch and are very choosy in today's economic climate.The food is first class = well done

Went on a Saturday for my lunch steak wasn't on the lunch menu but they cooked me one anyway and it was gorgeous and a good price too.defo will b going back again
