The best restaurants in Nantwich North and West Cheshire East North West

With an established ice cream place on the edge of Nantwich, opening a small independent ice cream shop in town is a brave move, but the ice cream/gelato if you’d prefer is fantastic. I’ve not had a flavour that was anything less than awesome. There are about 10/12 flavours, but with a good selection there seems to be something for everyone. Milkshakes made to order while you wait, using any of the ice creams available, are the best ive had. I’ve not tried the coffee but the machine looks impressive. The staff are friendly and very patient, when you’re standing looking at ice cream wondering what to have. It’s my first and only choice for ice cream in Nantwich.

Our favourite cafe in town! Welcoming staff and lovely food and drink. My kids love the board games and colouring books the cafe provides x

The crunchy munchie with the hazelnut latte is to die for 😍

Fantastic food, reasonable prices and great portion sizes. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very highly recommended

One of the best places for us in Nantwich. With a 20% discount for over 65's, also one of the best value places in Nantwich too. Garden is lovely, atmosphere is great and food is excellent.

A lovely little hidden gem of Nantwich! The menu looks interesting with some variety of authentic flavours. I had the beef birria open burrito and I'm so happy it was beef shin rather than just brisket. Refried beans instead of slaw would be a good improvement though 👀 Décor looks cute and comfortable, perfect for a humble date night or brunch outs. I look forward to coming back with friends 😉

All day breakfast still only £4.95, tastes good and served by real human beings. The location might be a little off-putting to some - in a corner of an indoor market building - so it's for a good bite to eat rather than posh dining. I bet most of the users have bus passes

The weather was amazing, so we decided to go out for a meal in the Red Cow’s very pleasant beer garden. We went for the fish & chips (£19) and the ‘Hailian style’ (sic) ribs with salad (£9). (We did ask what ‘Hailian style’ was, and suggested that it might be a menu misprint, but the server insisted that it was a thing, although didn’t know exactly what it was.) The fish and chips – we actually substituted the chips with fries – were mediocre. The batter was very, very crispy (possibly overcooked), and the haddock wasn’t very tasty (although that might be a seasonal thing). In retrospect we wondered if the fish is battered on site and then deep fried in the kitchen, or if it’s pre-cooked and then re-heated somehow. For £19 it certainly should be the former. The fries were lukewarm, but on the ten or so times we’ve had chips or fries in the Red Cow, rarely have they ever been served either hot or decently cooked. We had a problem with the ribs. At one end, the ribs were decently cooked and tasty, and the ‘Panzanella style’ salad and pesto were good. However, from the middle to the other end, the ribs were seriously undercooked, to the extent of the flesh being pink and not separating from the bone. Being pork ribs, this was an issue, and we asked for them to be taken away. The server came out and tried to justify the pub’s position by explaining that the ribs are “supplied pre-cooked” (therefore presumably attempting to absolve the pub of any responsibility). Apart from the quirky attitude to customer service (to say the least), this was even more alarming. Pork ribs are supplied to the pub pre-cooked – in this case seriously undercooked – chilled, and then re-heated somehow in the kitchen. (Thankfully we had no subsequent ill-effects.) It was a health risk, and we trust that the pub will mention this case to its supplier. It was also a revelation that meat is supplied pre-cooked and then reheated. How many other dishes on the somewhat pricey menu also undergo this cheap and cheerful method of food preparation? We requested a refund for the ribs. The server informed us that as we’d consumed half of the dish, they were only willing to offer us £4. This might have been reasonable if, say, it had it been a prime steak that was not cooked to our liking, but that we’d partially eaten – but seeing as it was undercooked, chilled and then reheated pork, we felt perfectly justified in requesting a full refund for the dish, and thought that the offer of £4 indicated a really bad attitude towards customer satisfaction. (Trashing the customer experience for a ha’por’th of tar!) We asked to see the manager, but we were told that they’d finished for the evening. However, they then appeared, seemingly out of nowhere. With little interest in listening to their patrons’ concerns, they reluctantly offered us a refund of £8 (which we accepted, although it was still £1 less than we’d paid for the dish). We berated the poor customer service, and were told (we think) to take the £8 and not come back – a request with which we will of course comply, seeing as our business over the years clearly didn’t matter all that much to them. In the end the two of us spent a total of £67.75, less the £8 refund. On a positive note, the wine (at around £30) was decent.

Excellent quality food freshly prepared and reasonably priced

Great food from this quirky little gem of a town centre cafe. There’s no rush here to get you out they even have table games like connect four to keep you busy. They don’t do hot meals but rather tasty sandwiches with generous portions of content. The milk shakes are so so good made with fresh milk and ice cream. Highly recommended 10/10.

It’s a bit of a tardis here, the historic frontage leads into a characterful interior with a large garden. Beer selection could be better imo, how about local beers?

Friendly with good fish and chips
