Great for a gluten free treat, ring first to get your gf chippy tea ready

Me and my husband visited yesterday. We originally just popped in for a coffee as it was absolutely freezing cold outside. The menu was really good so we decided to order dinner. It was hard to choose but I ordered the burmese khow suey and my husband ordered the chicken alfredo. There was abit of a wait but it was well worth it. We both really enjoyed our food. The noodles were insanely good and tasted really fresh. We will defo come back and try other dishes 😊

Got two breakfast barms and two teas. What a weird experience. The breakfast barn was meant to be a sausage, egg, hash brown, cheese and onion. The barm was dry. The sausage was a weird vegetarian spicy thing! I know the shop is halal but what? The cheese was a cheap cheese slice. I was so bemused and it wasn't nice. The tea was awful too. I was overcharged and had to point it out. There was noone in there and I'm not surprised.

Popped in before visiting the museum, very limited number of sandwiches although a nice setting and certainly ok if you just need a drink.

Great food, service and atmosphere!

Today we found door staff quite balshy. Definitely not friendly. We took our children to family birthday party. The door staff were insistent that they had to leave by 7.30pm. We were happy with that although it does seem a little early on a weekend. I ordered a drink at the bar at 7.10pm and even the bar staff reminded me that that our 2 children had to leave by 7.30pm.but I did already know this. The security then hovered around our table even though there were other children in the bar ,this was around 7.26. My children were being behaved so not sure why (we definitely felt unwelcome, maybe this place is just for the locals). It was our first and last visit I'm afraid. Money might by you refit but manners are free.

Was a lovely environment Ben served me at the bar had a conversation made me feel very welcome Lovely gentleman Food came out very quickly

Excellent quality ingredients. We had a bacon roll and a sausage and bacon roll with an extra hash brown which we added on top on the roll. Crispy bacon, perfectly cooked sausage on a crusty roll. Have been back to the train station since just for this. Latte was ok too.

Came for dinner at 7pm. Service and food were great. Ended up staying for the evening and playing darts and pool. Loved the vibe, staff were really great and there was a good selection of beer at a reasonable price. If I lived closer this would definitely be a regular spot for us. Have already recommended to other people

Best breakfast I've had delivered, tasty & the eggs was still runny, deffo recommend & will order again soon,

The Anderton Arms never disappoints! From the moment you walk through the door, the staff make you feel genuinely welcome — friendly, attentive, and always happy to help. Whether it's a quick lunch or a relaxed evening meal, they go above and beyond to make sure you’re well looked after. The food is consistently excellent, with generous portions and full of flavour. Everything we ordered was beautifully cooked and clearly made with care. You can tell they take pride in both their service and their menu. The atmosphere is warm and inviting — a real gem of a pub. Highly recommended!

We booked here for New Years Day as a treat with family. I had booked for afternoon tea and when we arrived we were told they were only serving a set menu. We explained the situation and the gentleman serving us spoke to the chef and they agreed to make the festive afternoon tea for us. We waited a little while as everything was made fresh and when it was arrived it was all beautiful! Fresh sandwiches with plenty of filling, warm scones straight from the oven and a selection of yummy cakes. The staff were all attentive without being intrusive and nothing was too much trouble. What a was to great start 2025! A lovely experience from start to finish. We live in the village and we definitely be back. Thanks to the chef and all of the team at the walled garden.

Great food and excellent service. Food cooked to order , staff were excellent nothing to much trouble. Before we ordered we were advised , that there may be a slight delay and to larger group had ordered before us. With this in mind our food came quickly .
