The best restaurants in Congleton West Cheshire East North West

Went DV8 because I have not been for a while but this time took my dog ( XL Bully ) .. there was no seats outside so sat in Bar 2 . The young waitress (Lara ) was not put off by the dog in fact made him feel welcome getting him a bowl of water and spending a few minutes petting him . Food was on point as usual the owner of the bar should be proud of her team the XL has a bad name but we were made to feel welcome definitely be back with my dog ….

Very nice venue and good selection of cakes but the menu for savoury dishes is limited especially if you're gluten free. So I had a salad which was covered in sugar coated nuts which is not my taste but I guess would appeal to some. Unfortunately the salad had a lot of sand in it which makes me wonder if they didn't wash it.

Write this Restaurant one of the best in Congelton super del Dept super fresh cook meals excellent stuff happy very helpful and the food is just above excellent brilliant so you won’t be disappointed it’s one of the best in Congelton so give it to go good luck to all the team who are on the ball every day every minute and the chefs are exceptional and the owners extremely experienced foodies. Well I have found better food than what I’ve seen and I trust you when you when you go.

First visit in a few years and it did not disappoint. Decor, low key and very comfortable, ambient atmosphere. Very attentive waiter. Food: Onion baji’s all round - best I have had, crispy on outside and soft inside. Mint sauce, a must for me, was perfect and did not taste of yogurt. Tandoori Mixed grill for me, and friend, large lamb chop, garlic chicken, tikka chicken, whole chicken tandoori breast and more lamb and shami kebab. Came on sizzler with onions and peppers. I can honestly say, again, the best I have had, all meat tender and delicious . Balti curry, which in the past I have found to be bland at other restaurants, not so here, tasty with a naan to finish. Chicken tikka masala for other half - came out very red but nonetheless was also delicious, with mushroom rice and keema naan. With drinks , lager and sparkling water came to about £28 each - thoroughly enjoyed and is top of my go to Indian restaurants in area.

Visited in the evening with my husband, not greeted on arrival despite the pub being fairly empty (4 other tables in and two groups at the bar) so headed to the pub, we were served quickly by a young lad and had a drink before introducing ourselves at the host desk. Considering the pub was very empty, we were shown to the worst, draughtiest table in the entire pub, right next to the door, which children were running in and out of. The "host" placed menus on the table and walked off, not explaining if it was table service and without further conversation. My husband then went back to the host stand and asked for a different table, which was not a problem at all and resolved very quickly. We noted that the pub felt cold and they should have taken the opportunity to light the beautiful open fire they had or at the very least turned up the heating on one of the stormiest nights of the year! Our order was taken relatively quickly and a small bucket brought over with cutlery (a picky bugbear of mine.) Our starters of calamari were enjoyable but on the chewier side, our steaks were lovely and certainly a filling dish, but we did have to wait whilst someone fetched us steak knives from the kitchen, as they "were being washed" which felt like it took an age and considering there were only four other tables in the pub rather shocking. The service was somewhat lacking and we did have to flag someone down for further drinks. I'm not one for missing dessert (ever) but the dessert menu was very uninspiring and evidently brought in generic cakes, so we skipped this. We felt that the pub could be so much better, considering it's refurbishment and setting, all it lacks is the warmth of hospitality that should come with customer service.
