We came here today for Christmas Day Lunch. Absolutely fantastic from having drinks in the bar area then into the restaurant for our lunch. The food, the service and atmosphere was second to none, so much so we booked for next year already. Well done Egerton Arms xxx
We had a lovely Sunday lunch here. The downside was, that I like extra gravy which is normally free anywhere else, but when I got the bill they had charged £2.50 for a very small pot. No mention of cost when I ordered it. Did have a conversation with the manager. It's just how it is.
Stopped off for lunch. Had the most amazing food. My gammon was full of flavour and so tasty (the best I have had in years). The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
The Egerton Arms, is in a beautiful part of the English countryside in Astbury, opposite the beautiful church with a 2000 year old yew tree and some very fascinating gravestones. Ample on site parking, we arrived on a Sunday, and the car park was extremely busy. Our room was lovely, even though it felt a bit of a hike to get to it, the stairs although few were quite steep! Lovely view over the beer garden. We also chose to have our evening meals here, and we were not disappointed, and came to understand why the car park was as busy as it was. We were going to have a Sunday dinner, but after they brought the specials board over with Ox cheek on it, we went for that instead, we still got the Yorkshire Puds! It was absolutely fabulous. Meat cooked perfectly, oodles of rich gravy and veg to go with it. The second night after having a walk around the nearby town of Congleton, which can be walked to either via the main road or as we did the public footpath over farm land, we decided to have Rag pudding, neither of us had heard of it so just had to try it. Again we were not dissapointed! Service and people were lovely, friendly, showed us to our room when we got there. Reasonably priced as well for being out in the middle of nowhere! We normally book bed and breakfast, but these guys didn't do breakfast, which given how nice our evening meals were we felt that was a shame, but we knew what we were getting when we booked and the nearby Glebe farm had an onsite cafe, which we did eat at one morning, and thoroughly enjoyed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
My wife and I stayed here on our backpacking trip across England. Staff was friendly and helpful, and our room was clean, comfortable, and cozy. We were right above the pub and beer garden, but it wasn't noisy at all. Food and beers on tap were fantastic, and was located across the street from a historic church where we heard the carilloner ringing the church bells. I think this was my favorite place we stayed on our whole trip. Would recommend this place to anyone, both as a pub and place to stay.
Visited today for a sunday lunch after recent re-opening. Very pleasant experience sat in the lounge at the rear. Staff very friendly and the food delicious. I sincerely hope this continues. A beautiful country pub in a lovely setting and a very tasty sunday roast. We will return!
We were very disappointed with the menu not a chicken dish or lasagna. The menu says pasta and risotto but no risotto on the menu at all. The pizza my husband had (margarita) was ok but really it would be better to be able to order 8" 10" but there's just 12". The girls who served us were nice that's only good thing we could say about the experience.
We had a pre concert meal and were quite disappointed- the food was mediocre at best - I don't think we would go for a meal again. The vegan choice was limited... On a positive, the 2 young men who served us were very nice and helpful.
Food is really good since the new owners have come in. Used to be a really cosy pub many years ago but the previous owners painted over some of the lovely beams WHITE and various other things losing its character, barmy they were. Hopefully the current owners rectify this, as it could be an even more cosier country pub.
Had a lovely 2 night stay here for a wedding, the landlady could not do enough for us especially for our 6 month old. Everybody was so friendly and kind and very welcoming. The food and drink was spot on and the room was clean, decent size and very comfortable bed. Would certainly recommend this place.
