The best restaurants serving British food in North West

Lovely pub with loads of character and charm.

Having never visited before I would thoroughly recommend this lovely situated pub for a family meal. Nothing was too much trouble for Georgia who looked after us royally. The food was plentiful and all our meals were flavoursome and well prepared by Chef Sam. Whilst the weather outside was frightful the welcome inside was delightful. Many thanks to all involved.

Awful experience. Staff are unfriendly. Half the ales were off. Toilet is disgusting. I wonder how this place is still open. Dreadful!.

We turned up and our booking had been done for the wrong day, completely our fault! There was 7 of us but Chloe was great helping us to find a table for the 7 of us in the bar area which we were fine with as the bar and restaurant were really busy, so we were very lucky. We had great bar service from Jack, who pulls a good pint. Food was lovely and enjoyed by all, will definitely be coming again. Thanks

We had a very good family meal on a very busy Saturday night. We basically went because we couldn't find anywhere at 8pm that was suitable. It was really busy and I expected to wait a long time for our meal. It took less than 20 minutes to come and the food was very good. I was very impressed with the staff, how they were coping with a totally full pub and still performing professionally. Well done all at The Albert and The Lion, we'll be back. 😃😃

Unfortunately I didn't experience the quality of food and the customer service from the staff due to waiting 10 minutes at the door to be seated and was the only customer in the restaurant at lunchtime but I did observe 2 members of staff who noticed me waiting and still continued to chat with the kitchen staff...Poor customer service within hospitality. After waiting the length of time I waited I left but then noticed a male server Coming to Greet me by this time it was to late and I business elsewhere.

Meals are good . And the coffee is excellent ...... Fill up as much as you want from the machine . I choose decaf as I like the expresso and like a few cups

We stayed in Cheshire Oaks and this place was close to where we stayed that did a full English breakfast so naturally went here. The queue for ordering was quite busy and the one server on the bar was really coping well considering she was the only one available to take orders. I ordered our breakfasts and for the price, you really can’t complain at all but they really could do with more staff. We waited over forty minutes for a full English breakfast and scrambled eggs on toast. When we had it, the one server apologised for the wait but again, no fault of his own as he was also the only one serving and there were tables ranging from two people to eight people. The food wasn’t hot but wasn’t stone cold either but like other tables, drinks were finished before having breakfast. The only thing the place lacks is staff. If the two on breakfast today, had some support, even just an extra pair of hands, there would be more support not only to the staff working but to the benefit of the customer too.

Brilliant food, fabulous staff, catering for 14 of us. All food came out at the same time, which was lovely. Bar staff and floor staff are very attentive. would highly recommend and will definitely be going back.

We can’t Thank the staff from start to finish, from when I phoned up about a big numbers you were there to suggest the best way this could happen. We had the Bamford room and we were able to dress it and move things around. It was really good. The day of the meal we were given a waiter called Max , wow, max was the most professional, kind, and polite person and was very attentive with all my family. Organised the food with the other waiters and managing our room really well. Max was there all the way through and we couldn’t have asked for more from him. Thank you max for making our meal relaxed and enjoyable.

Poor customer service and massive wait for desserts

We would not return we could not all have breakfast at the same time so could not eat with our daughter, husband and grandson. Could not eat at the times we wanted it was very short staffed and food items not topped up as they ran out so constantly having to ask for things like milk, butter,bread ,juice etc on the last morning the sausages were not even cooked properly it was a right fiasco we would not return here again.

Always love calling in here for battered haggis. Great service and delish food and if you don't want to eat in, there is a beautiful park just down the road to sit and enjoy the views of the mountains while you munch away 👍

Popped in here on the way to Manchester airport, what a great decision. Food was lovely staff really friendly and the manager very helpful when selecting desserts, would highly recommend

The bottomless breakfast. Although this sounds appealing at first, that soon changes when you walk through the door. This establishment is atrocious! The plates serves arr all absolutely filthy, but that's just the beginning. The food is some of the worst I've ever seen. The bacon is barely cooked. Hash browns are like rubber. The eggs are wayyyy overcooked. Mushrooms taste out of date.. Nothing about this place is good. In hindsight I should have walked in, paid, seen the food and got my money straight back. Highly recommend AVOIDING this place
