The best restaurants in Brereton Rural Cheshire East North West

Best pub in Smallwood. Food is excellent, friendly efficient staff

Fantastic food with plenty of choice & great value for money. Highly recommend

On arrival I asked if a table was available for two people, “ have you booked ?” I replied I would not be asking if you had a table available if I had booked. After the receptionist spent a considerable time searching through various screens on her desktop we were eventually shown to our table. Drinks orders duly taken and arrived shortly. We waited for our meal order to be taken and waited and waited eventually a young lady arrived and took our meal order and again this was delivered after a wait. The food was very tasty well presented and the staff very pleasant and polite but painfully slow, why ? During our meal there must have been at least 40 tables vacant during the time we were there so what was all the looking and searching for an available table for. No offer to see if more drinks were required and no offer of a sweet menu ( management due to lack of training are missing out here). On paying my bill a staff tip ie service charge of 7.5% was added and due to the poor service I declined. I assume the Bears Paw tip everyone who delivers to them or collects refuse or dray men I think not.

Located just outside of Sandbach and Alsager. Mature course. Camping pods available Nice bar and a good food selection. Great and challenging 18 hole course. Some water but not much

Service let the food down. No one asked how our food was. Waitress attempted to clear our plates when one person was still eating. When we got the bill we waited at least 10 minutes to then pay. By this time we were the only people in the restaurant but all the waiting staff were standing together in front of the kitchen hatch chatting to someone with a baby who wasn't a customer! Very poor customer awareness.

Excellent service by Steph but also thank the kitchen team for the food!

Incredible food as always! Great portions and great value! We got the Gyros which is a recent addition to the menus in the last year, battered sausage , fritters, large chips and a pot of gravy. Only have a picture of mine i’m afraid 🤣 Other half had the battered chips and most of the gravy Will always come back ❤️

Whenever I visit my parents, we come to The Bears Head. It never disappoints-the food is excellent, the atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the staff couldn’t be more welcoming or helpful. I highly recommend it!

1st time used the app . Paid via PayPal. Received the number and then wasn't sure what to do so went to the counter. It was quiet and staff were standing around. Asked one member of staff who was clueless. She showed it to another member of staff that didn't want to know and walked off. A young lad that was doing all the work then tried to help but was also busy serving. The manager didn't give a toss and walked into the back. So we then had to order again on the screen and pay again without using the app. Thanks for nothing Mc Donalds

Usual great standard of coffee here. Always a great place to stop off.

Food was hot and fresh. Bit sad that the place was a bit of a mess. Especially the loos their they where awfull. But is a gd place for a pit stop if you specifically want mcdonalds

Mid week the Harrow had plenty of space to accommodate an impromptu family gathering. I know that at weekends it’s really advised to reserve a table. We’ve been coming to this pub pretty much all our lives, but was impressed by the upgrades and expansion. The menu was interesting and didn’t disappoint. The service from Shane was awesome. They have some great offers and discounts online so that diners of all budgets can enjoy it. Definitely putting this back on my “visits Home” itinerary.

Sat outside in the sunshine and had a wonderful lunch. The service from Harry L was keen , professional and polite. He also recommended some great puddings ! Very dog friendly too. Will be back soon.

At first forgotten item which had to pay again then when I left realised have wrong order

We specifically went to Sandbach as they were listed as having vegan options at the Fresh Food cafe! We ended up with three vegetarian breakfasts instead of vegan ones, with no plant based bacon either. The staff member, although lovely, seemed unaware of the difference between vegan and vegetarian. Better training needed. Altogether an expensive and disappointing experience!
