The best restaurants in Willaston and Thornton Cheshire West and Chester North West

Looking for an al fresco coffee? Quirky setting? Sunny aspect? Then look no further. The Platform Pedaller is located on the platform of the former Hadlow Road station in Willaston. The station has been preserved as it was in the 1950's with old metal advertisements. The cafe is currently outdoor but the proprietors are due to open the station masters house soon. Yesterday, our cycling group of 27 called in for coffee. Our customer experience was exceptional. I'll start with the coffee - superb blend dreamed up by Emily, who served us all quickly, efficiently and smilingly. The sunny aspect and traffic free location make this a great pace for a break. Easy access toilets in the old waiting room. Ideal for cyclists, walkers, dog walkers, runners and equestrians. Free car parking too. We will certainly be back!

Amazing friendly staff,cozy local nice ales

Well what can I say but wow! Came for breakfast it was a busy Sunday. New menu was just perfect, great choice, great quality, great service need I say any more. Will definitely be coming again.

Stunning food I had crispy belly pork best I’ve had hubby had smoked haddock mornay he said same great quality & service will be going back soon

Breakfast My wife , Grandchild and l called in on Sunday morning for breakfast! Lovely food and great service at a fair price

Took our train-obsessed eight-year-old here, he loves the setting with its railway memorabilia, and the food was great too. Prices are very reasonable given the quality.

Brilliant service, well attended by mark and the staff

First time visit to The Nags Head, and it won't be the last! Lovely food at reasonable prices 10/10

This pub has the best staff who don't stop! The service was amazing! The food is simple and very good! Straight forward menu but food is very nice, very reasonably priced

Pub closed, terrible food. Fire alarm goes off at 6am. I've stayed here previously and was ok, pretty much a normal Prem inn. This time for some reason the have closed the attached pub and are running just half of it as a prem inn restaurant. It is terrible! The staff who are nice when you can find them, only admit 4 people per hour to the restaurant, you're waiting half hr for a starter, then get told you main had run out, then wait another 45 mins for an alternative. Hot breakfast is cold, and when you ask any staff member what has happened to the place in last 12 month, they have no answers. Really would avoid if possible.

A wonderful friendly warm welcome by the 2 ladies who were happy to answer and reassure me regarding allergy concerns, helping to make considered recommendations. The cafe was warm, clean and a great menu. Lovely quality food and drink. I loved my gingerbread latte, very festive!

Had Christmas Dinner today, prawns had gone off and smelt off really bad, turkey dinner was “okay” at best.. very very dry meat and overcooked roasties and wasn’t enough veg for everyone and food was cold… £85 pp is crazy for the experience.. first and last time unfortunately

Food was OK.. nothing special, just ok!

Came for New Years Eve lunch and had a terrific experience. Service was slick and professional and the food totally delicious. Lovely easy relaxed atmosphere throughout which we really appreciated. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back! Thank you !

Counter staff a disgrace. Looked sulky unapproachable and angry. If she can’t smile or look welcoming she shouldn’t work serving the cakes and dealing with customers.
