The best restaurants serving British food in North West

Great for a quick breakfast or dinner. Lots of choice of beers and ciders.

Very good atmosphere for a drink after work. beautifully decorated and refreshed. The outside area must be amazing to be when the weather allows it. I've not eaten this time but looking at the menu will definitely go back soon for a taste.

The state of this place continues its sad decline. Standards have dropped significantly since my last visit a couple of months ago. The men's toilets are an absolute disgrace. There's one serviceable cubicle- but the toilet bowl is hanging off the wall and the door lock has been bodged up so many times it barely provides the necessary privacy. The stench from the urinals is so bad - you can tell when the toilet door opens as it wafts into the pub. Not really what you want to be smelling when you're eating and drinking- it's bad enough when you have to go to the toilet . The staff are great but completely up against it as there are so few of them. Dirty glasses pile up on tables untouched. This place is desperate for a makeover. I for one won't be rushing back. I know the beer is cheap but, I'm afraid I'd rather pay "proper pub" prices and have a degree of comfort rather than sit in a what effective looks and smells like a cattle market. Come on 'Spoons. You can do much much better than this.

We were an extended family group, meeting at the Golden Pheasant for a family lunch. We had all travelled some distance, Bristol, Derby, London, Rugby, Manchester and Wilmslow, What we needed was exactly what was provided: a very well-cooked lunch, in a warm, clean and comfortable environment, with quick, kind and thoughtful service. The outside playground was perfect for the small children in the party. We stayed quite a long time as we were a large group to cater for, and lunch was quite drawn out, but although it was a busy Sunday, at no point were we ever made to feel uncomfortable about being there. This was important because of the distance travelled. We were looked after by Ellen, who was extremely attentive. The occasion was an anniversary of a deceased loved family member, so it was important that the day went well, and the Golden Pheasant looked after us with faultless understated comfort and informality. It was a very good memory.

Travelled for business to Chester. I was highly welcomed up in arrival. The restaurant wasn't open, however, but the host highly recommended the Thai restaurant a few metres away from the hotel and it did not disappoint! They even accommodated when I brought my food back to the hotel and gave me cutlery so that I had my takeaway meal in the restaurant area, rather than taking it to my room (which was allowed, but meant my room wouldn't smell of Thai all evening!). Wifi was also available for free using their password. Kudos to the host - seemed he was the only person working from evening until morning, as I didn't see any other staff. Hotel and bar and restaurant are separate, which means it quiet on an evening. You need to go through the Secret Garden to the hotel.

What a great pub , welcomed by Paula , 40 + of us descended on her and her team for a pre wedding drink , which turned into everyone ordering food , the poor guy in the kitchen was run ragged , the food was good the drinks were reasonable for Knutsford . Thanks a lot you were all brilliant !

Came to this restaurant as part of our stay at the adjoined premier inn. Firstly, I arrived at this food place for dinner before staying in the hotel. I had an exquisite burger, which was incredibly tasty, but the service could have been quicker. There appeared to be only one waitress actually doing their job as all the others were busy chatting to each other, but this wasn't a major issue as the food more than made up for it. The second experiencehere was for breakfast the next morning, and it was an incredible experience. It was an all you can eat breakfast, which made it rather well priced for the amount of food you can receive.

Modern hotel with cheerful staff. Bar and restaurant were nicely decorated, breakfast was good. Spa was clean and warm. Bedroom was ample for two nights but I could not cope with the compact room for any longer. Better suited for a single traveller

Out standing customer service. Even though I played the slightly awkward customer wanting the straight glass . Had a lovely snack meal with the drink . I ordered with different bar staff ,and each one was so curious and pleasant it’s restored my faith in going somewhere and enjoying every minute of my meal . Highly recommended Jack

Came in for a family meal the other day. A new landlord is settling in and it's going well. There was little to no wait on food. All the staff took care of us. Will be visiting again soon.

Miss more than hit sadly, sometimes you can go and the food is good but tonight it was mediocre. One Sunday roast was quite cold like it had been put out some time before the others, veg too al dente and Yorkshire puddings are not the best. But the worst thing was the apple crumble, it was very greasy and the crumble was very hard and not enjoyable at all. We tried here again after there isn’t much choice locally now, but we won’t be rushing back.

Excellent pub food, in a great location and extra friendly staff. i could not recommend this place highly enough, classic pub grub, good value, hospitable hosts. great outside seating area, this place is a credit to the management team.

2 x fish, chips and curry. Excellent standard. Polite friendly service

Totally thrilled with our well presented, perfectly cooked delicious meal. Thank you Connor as this was the best pub meal we have had in a long time. Cheerful staff and beautifully decorated pub. Highly recommend.

This was good pub grub. Steak, perfectly cooked, very tasty. Loved my dessert too, apple & cherry Bakewell crumble! We waited a while, but I'm not rushing when I go out & the food was hot when it arrived. The staff were good. No complaints from me.
