The best restaurants serving British food in North West

Lovely night at the Puckersley! really nice atmosphere, great music and the best cheese and onion pie 💓 thank you Puck! We will be back!

Service let the food down. No one asked how our food was. Waitress attempted to clear our plates when one person was still eating. When we got the bill we waited at least 10 minutes to then pay. By this time we were the only people in the restaurant but all the waiting staff were standing together in front of the kitchen hatch chatting to someone with a baby who wasn't a customer! Very poor customer awareness.

A delightful and delicious few hours enjoying the marvelous afternoon tea with a dear friend for a belated Christmas treat. Champagne and strawberrys/clotted cream, a sandwich and cake collection that was perfection and more clotted cream, jam and scone collection. Not forgetting the vast tea menu to choose from. Soak up the atmosphere, dedicated staff, a marvelous experience all round. - a recommendation for all to sample. Oh yes , we will return without a doubt.

Great food and drinks with lovely service. Its a little pricey but worth it. The Japanese tea was lovey with very quirky tea pots. There was looses tea on sale too ... wish I'd bought some, but its a good excuse for a return visit.

We have just spent the afternoon at the wacky warehouse handforth . It is a fabulous space my 2 year old absolutely loves it there. Mel and Kelly are just wonderful staff and can't do enough for you . It's lovely to have staff who engage with the children and to be greeted with happy faces. 😊 Thank you ladies.

Was a nice atmosphere on arrival. Went to order at the bar where there were 3 staff chatting to each other. The older lady eventually turned round and came to take my order. There was no greeting and the whole time she was chewing gum or something. Not a very good impression. Drinks were fine but there needs to be a few customer service skills to be learned.

Not a lot of people in the pub for a Sunday, food was good but roast potatoes and the Yorkshire pudding had been over cooked. Everything else was lovely and lots of gravy. Didn't bother with dessert as only 4 to choose from and I didn't fancy any of them. I like my sundaes.

We visited for lunch with friends and had booked, the table was ready for us and we were seated immediately. We got menus straight away and a drink order taken. After we had ordered our meal the waitress brought over a jug of water and glasses which was welcome and I always like a restaurant that does this. As a table we had lamb shank, cheese and onion pie, rag pudding and gammon steak and all plates were cleaned. With 3 soft drinks and a lager the bill was £76 which was good value, the menu is varied and online for a browse. I would advise booking as it gets busy especially in better weather but there’s a decent sized car park, dogs are allowed and it’s flat enough for those less mobile.

I called in especially to taste scouse, the staff were lovely but the food is not great, I had scouse which I can only describe as bland meatless soup and my wife had a steak pie which consisted of crust and gravy no meat,very disappointed in maggy mays especially after every other place I ate in liverpool on my stay the food was great

A bit mean with the food , what was served was delicious but not enough, brilliant dog treats and the staff are so lovely and friendly

Popped here for breakfast on a Saturday morning with the family. I ordered scrambled eggs and bacon with toast and mushrooms. The only disappointment was the mushrooms are the large field type and not button. Toast and butter was lovely, bacon nice (thick sliced too), egg good and very nice fresh orange juice.

We decided randomly to try the Birley Arms for Sunday Lunch and so glad we did. Our Sunday roast was delicious with plenty of gravy accompanied by two glasses of red wine. The service was brilliant and staff very friendly. Would definitely go again.

We had our last visit to the Coach House because it closes on 31st May 2023. We have been here several times over the years but had to come for our last lunch visit before it closes next week. Mind you we had enough points on our Bonus Club card to get a free bottle of wine, but we said our last farewell to the staff, especially Pippa & we hope she gets what she wants when the place closes. It does seem a shame to demolish this restaurant & the Premier Hotel just to extend the car park for the Trafford Centre.

Excellent pub food and great selection of drinks. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend the lasagne!

Was a resident for three nights in the first week of January '25. Excellent time throughout though quiet at this time of year, which is to be expected. Nice public bar area especially by the roaring fire. Lots of snow overnight Saturday (4th) so a white wonderland to awaken to in the morning; you can't beat that in these surroundings! Decided on an evening meal for the final night, fish & chips and it was 'delish' as they say. Will definitely be going back again at this time of year when time permits.
