The best restaurants in Odd Rode Cheshire East North West

I was really looking forward to a pleasant Mother’s Day meal at The Horseshoe, but unfortunately, the experience was anything but. The food was basic—honestly, I would have enjoyed a microwave meal just as much. However, the real issue was the service. A teenage waitress served our table with an attitude, slamming dishes down as if we were an inconvenience. It was so noticeable that I actually asked, “What is your problem?” She bluntly responded that she was unwell and didn’t want to be there. Given that I was already feeling a little down due to personal circumstances, I chose to shrug it off. Unfortunately, the unpleasantness continued, so I eventually asked to speak to a senior staff member. When I explained my discomfort, he asked who the server was and then proceeded to force the girl to come and apologise to us. This made for an incredibly awkward and uncomfortable moment for everyone involved. On top of that, we ordered the lamb shanks, only to be told they were already sold out—at just 2 PM! For a Mother’s Day special, you’d expect them to be better prepared. To make matters worse, we were supposed to be charged £24.95 per person for the advertised Mother’s Day special (two courses), yet we were overcharged—£27.90 for one and £26.90 for the other. When I went to settle the bill, I asked if he was the owner—he confirmed he was, took my money, and offered no apology or any sign of concern for the situation. I later called back to explain the overcharge, and his response was shocking. He dismissed my concern, saying, “It’s Mother’s Day, we’re busy—what do you expect?” He then sarcastically thanked me, saying that thanks to my complaint, they had received many more complaints after mine. He also tried to justify the overcharge by saying that because I had complained, he pressed the wrong button while taking payment. He then told me he would “pay me the £3 owed.” I pointed out that £3 wasn’t even the correct amount! Overall, a disappointing experience from start to finish. Poor food, poor service, and an owner who clearly doesn’t care about customer satisfaction. I won’t be returning.

Up and down This Chinese can be amazing but they seem to slip up just as often as they are good

Enjoyed a lovely lunch and Guinness in the sun watching the ducks. Both very nice meals (and Guinness!) and a very friendly lady working the bar. Thanks! (Hot Dog and Steak sarnie).

Went for Sunday lunch. Got a very friendly welcome. Food is excellent. Staff are great. The pub is very cosy Prawn Cocktail (exactly as you would expect) Broccoli and Stilton soup was very tasty and very hot. Beef roast dinner and Pork roast dinner. Loads of meat on both, served with mash, roast potatoes, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, peas, Yorkshire pudding, gravy. All correctly cooked and served hot. Didnt have dessert as we were both full (wife even left some dinner)

Absolutely love coming here food staff are lovely except for one. Rolled her eyes when asking about a meal I couldn’t think of but had no meat in it. Eventually another staff member who’s lovely knew what I meant. She was irritated as it took a while. Food came to wrong table but did tell her the number. She said beef pie but it was chicken that came. Love chicken or beef and I’m not bothered what I have but because of her attitude I’m moaning. Love sat bury and would always give five stars but she spoiled it

Charles is amazing, such a gent. Gave great advice to us as we had no clue where to start with our planters. Also, helped take our purchases to the car. I can’t give enough praise for this place.

Steak pie was cold with a massive chunk of hard cold suety pastry on top not much gravy. Chips deffo not homemade. Mothers fish was also not cooked through with soggy batter. The menu was different to Internet. Fair play they did swap the meals out but then we all ate at different times. There was no apology or compo like a free drink or pud or reduction of meal price. Was a bit nippy in pub and kept coats on although it was 12:30 so maybe warmed up later. The haddock didn't look/taste like haddock.
