i brought the family for a Wednesday lunchtime pie.
my wife and i had the signature meat and tatter pie, my mother in law the fish pie
everything came with tasty chunky chips and we had some pickled red veg on the side
very good quality meals @ £5 each
my wife had the cookiedough ice cream pie and enjoyed that very much.
Outstanding place with a brilliant atmosphere. Staff great and polite always. Bar tariff so reasonable. Unlike most of the other pubs around nowadays. Definitely recommend. Entertainment is great over the weekends.
Another triumph at Magpies Nest this time for the Natalie Ciufo’s Christmas party. It’s very good value for a three course meal where the staff work so hard to keep everyone happy and entertainment is included. And entertain they do by booking artist in residence Natalie Ciufo.
I don t know what it is about Natalie really which makes us return for as many of her performances as we can. Obviously she’s a beautiful young woman and a very charming one too but we come for the music . When she sings a cover version without exception it is always better than the original. I think she has a special gift for making her audience feel like she is singing to them personally . It might be a stolen glance, a warm smile and if you are lucky she will sing a line directly to you.
Natalie is so self effacing I sometimes wish she loved herself as much as her audience does. I suppose it’s that modesty that means we have her all to ourselves when she could be packing out arenas I m sure. Of course she has her fans eating out of her hand, and the reward for us is hearing these songs sometimes for the first time because she brings the lyric to life with her wonderful voice range, body language and dance moves.
Teamwork makes the dream work and Dad Stuart is Natalie’s very able assistant . A performer himself it’s not hard to see why she is so talented. He’s always there for her to make everything run seamlessly.
Magpies Nest raise a lot of money for charity too. Tonight they were supporting the Salvation Army homeless appeal to provide meals at Christmas and donated three amazing lottery prizes.
Can t wait for Nat’s next local performance in January which is already in the diary. Get your tickets because one day soon , maybe not today, or even tomorrow but exceedingly sure some talent spotter will wisp her away from us to Stardom.
Stopped on Sunday afternoon for a drink. Lovely spot by the canal and the best hot choclate I've had in a long time. Nice to find somewhere at the end of a walk down the canal, has a good selection of food on the menu, previously tried the breakfast which was tasty will be going back to try for lunch 😊
This cafe is a little hidden gem! Had a cheese and tomato toastie this weekend at the spring fair! Extremely cheap prices and amazing value eat in or takeaway! Perfect for families!
Can’t wait to go back!
