The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Warrington North West

A great weekend catch-up with friends started with a lovely Rioja in 'The Wine Kitchen' next door (under the same ownership), moving on to the comfy surroundings of 'Eighteen The Cross' for an early bird meal. From crispy Calamari, to generous and succulent Steak Frites, to perfect Espresso Martinis, I can safely say all were the finest examples I've enjoyed in a long while! Planning a return trip (we're half an hour's drive away) to this Cheshire gem soon and hoping the family like it as much as we did. Kudos to Michael, Christine and Head Chef Bradley!

We visited this restaurant as a party of 9 for the first time this weekend for a family meal for my husband's birthday. The choice of food is extensive, and all meals were amazing. The service is what makes this place stand out, it was absolutely exceptional. the staff went above and beyond on numerous occasions to ensure we all had anything we requested. This place is a little hidden gem, definitely worth a visit and we will 100% be returning!

We ordered a cake for my Nana’s 70th birthday we’d seen advertised on their website and sent the pic over when ordering asking for it to look like that and also asked for milk chocolate to be drizzled over the top instead of dark chocolate (dark chocolate was in the picture) because my nana or anyone else doesn’t like dark chocolate. My mum has picked the cake up and when she got home noticed it looks nothing like what we had asked for. There is no big bar of milk chocolate or kinder buenos on the top like pictured, instead there is big thin pieces of dark chocolate. It was also dark chocolate drizzled over the top which again we specifically asked for it to be milk chocolate. The response we get is that she “should have checked the cake before she left”??? And “it states that in their terms and conditions”? Why would my mum or anyone in fact feel the need to check the terms and conditions or even check the cake it’s self before leaving when we have sent over a picture of which cake we wanted and also specifically asked for certain things? If they couldn’t cater the cake we wanted we should’ve been told. We got offered to travel all the way back to Warrington going out of our way and wasting more of our time to take the cake back and get 50% back of what we payed? Which in no way benefits us because we’ve then got no cake and have lost 50%. To which I can guarantee they would then re-sell the cake and make more money. My mum had spoke to a lady over email and I then also messaged on Facebook because I wasn’t impressed with the response my mum got and I’ve been ignored on Facebook so I’ll post it on here instead. I understand no cake is going to be the exact same as one another but half of the toppings we asked for are different and especially the dark chocolate drizzle on top when we asked for it to be milk chocolate instead. The cake we got isn’t what we asked for and the staff have been in no way helpful or understanding

Lovely staff, amazing food. We were so full but had to keep eating as the food was so tasty and well cooked. Will definitely be back

Unbelievably poor! The food. Almost like it was a bet internally to see what they could get away with. Starter was Pate which resembles phallus on a cold day. Served bizarrely and not edible. Main course. Easily worse. The chicken roast came out and was suspiciously round. On closer inspection it looked like slices of reformed left overs. (It’s since been suggested that Bernard Matthew’s might be responsible for this delicacy). The service. We had toast ourselves. No biggy and it was a nice room. Alarm bells should have rang when we were only the 4th table at 3pm on a Sunday….and the menu was a laminate. The girl who took the order was polite. The bloke who brought the film out was miserable and made no attempt to engage. No one came To ask us if the food was OK and when they took it back afterwards barely touched they never spoke. I have now found out they have a 1 star FSA review and makes total sense. They should be embarrassed for serving such poor food. I am not sure where all the 5 star reviews are coming from, although I could guess. Eat here at your peril.

First time me going to Nando's impressed with efficient service and staff and the good quality affordable food 👌 won't be my last

Very disappointed. Cafe has recently been refurbished. However after waiting over 50mins for food. (Soft drinks unavailable). We then couldn't find a clean table to sit at. Plenty of tables empty as the queue was taking so long. But so many dirty tables that weren't useable. No staff members around at all to ask for a wipe/spray. Toilets were dirty with 3 not usable as well as a broken hand drier. The cafe used to be nice and quick but we will just head home next time.
