Charming pubs in Northwich

“We called in for a Sunday roast a few weeks ago, the food was delicious. Staff are very good, and the owners are lovely. Since then we have been in the evening for another delicious meal, the pudding are very nice to. Overall this place is a hidden gem. Well worth a visit! Lovely outlook over the marina, they are dog friendly to in the bar area.”

“2ND JULY 2025 ‘Wandering Wednesday’ was back on track today after a number of hurdles over the past few weeks, Neil’s birthday, our Anniversary, Neil covering a shift and me being poorly last week. So today Hubby Neil and I took a good Wander out on the beaten track towards Delamere, to a beautiful pub called ‘The Fishpool Inn’, just off a main road and sat in a lovely pub garden area….. the pub inside was spotless and tastefully decorated. All staff were very polite and were smartly dressed in black attire. The layout of the pub where we were sat was horse based, which was right up my street, some of the tables were set out on old cast iron horse stalls, very impressive…. Bridles on the walls, along with past Polo players and polo mallets…. We both went straight to entrée…. A Lady who worked at IKEA many moons ago recommended us to go there…. Janet Hughes….. it didn’t disappoint…. Thank you Jan…. So on that note we both went for the fish and chips…. With proper soaked overnight mushy peas and homemade tartare sauce, plus a round of bread and butter each. All of the food was beautiful and piping hot, you could taste the salt of the sea in the haddock….. portion sizes were reasonable and not too over facing. Would we go back….. Definitely 100% Plus it’s a lovely drive out in our Cheshire countryside on a beautiful day as today, seeing some of the old houses and farm houses along the way, they were stunning! All in all…. A Grand Day out xxx❤️”

“Just had a drink with family. Great atmosphere. Friendly place. Great place to catch up”

“A real gastro pub. We had the Sunday roast pork belly and mushroom and broccoli tagliatelle with a lovely white wine sauce. We enjoyed the food, very tasty. We will visit again.”

“Wonderful pub with a great atmosphere! The prices are VERY reasonable and it's always busy but not so busy that you struggle getting a drink or a place to sit. The people there are very friendly and welcoming as are the owners who are exceptional and often organise entertainment and other fun events. Highly recommended.”

“It is probably the best eating pub that I know. Easily accesable. Not hard to park. Entrance for all people. Service very good, but most days, reserve a table, especially Sunday. Great atmosphere inside and outside. Food is brilliant and there is plenty. Prices are very competitive.”

“What a fantastic lunch we had. Mains and a pudding AND coffee today! I had the seabass with roasted veg. Perfection. And we had the apple and rhubarb crumble and custard. Just wow! The whole meal was superb as was the service.”

“We Celebrated my Retirement last night. We were a party of 15 and we had the most wonderful night. We all enjoyed different food choices. The staff were Excellent, attentive and very helpful. Each of our Party have said that they would recommend a visit and return with their Family and friends. Thank you to all the staff. You were Amazing Jan Bentley”

“First time at the slow and easy for years and what a lovely experience. Walked in the the ambience was lovely. Welcomed by the waitress and chose our place to sit, was quieter than we expected but felt nice. Food was cooked to a high standard the steaks were cooked to a perfect medium rare and were really tasty. The food combined with the feel of the pub and the lovely waitress Erica has made us want to come back again. We had a pint in the bar at the end of the meal around 20:00 and felt like a pub where local people can have a laugh and enjoy the banter. We will be coming again v soon. Thank you to all the staff and Erica for being so attentive.”

“Popped in with the dogs for a Sunday roast and glad I did , food was delicious service was excellent very attentive to both me the guest and the dogs definitely be back ! Thanks you”

“West had a great afternoon here. Our servers, Connor and Corey were really helpful and polite. The food was excellent! Plenty of onsite parking, large garden, dog friendly - we will definitely return soon”

“Visited for the first time on a Wednesday, which is burger night, so obviously had to have a couple burgers! Very tasty on the whole, although the ratios of sauce to burger could definitely be worked on - one had a bit too much and the other needed lots more! Definitely recommend the PBJ time burger if you fancy something a bit different (and don't have a nut allergy). Shared some churros for dessert and these were very good. The atmosphere was also lovely, nice touch having board games and cards available. The real highlight was the friendly staff though, really made us feel welcome and made the night special.”

“A most enjoyable afternoon here after exploring the Whitegate trail! Top quality fish & chips and very interesting choice of draught beer!!! Had Camden Town Brewery Stout for 1st time and was better than Guinness! Tasted similar to Murphys stout! Also had Henry Westons Vintage Cider! Friendly staff and reasonable price! Great choice of other dishes on menu! Will be making a return visit for sure!!!”

“Stopped for a breakfast on our way home. Food outstanding, service amazing and lovely environment. Michelle was fabulous - very welcoming, friendly and always had a smile. Thank you for your 1st class service.”

“A great pub with a great menu that is really reasonably priced. The staff are super friendly and the location is stunning. This is a nice place to go for food and the design of the pub has lots of interesting features.”

“Halloween experience, we visited from Glasgow which has it's own , but this one is fantastic, it's a very big area with masses of Halloween props and actors, great food and drink too, this is one you shouldn't miss, can't recommend it enough.”

“The Salt Barge is a wonderful pub; Jayne and Claire were really welcoming and couldn’t do enough for our party. It has a glorious, chilled out atmosphere, and the music played was not overwhelming. There was a great selection of drinks available, including several alcohol free options!”

“Last minute booking but the food was excellent. Staff friendly and the service was very good. I recommend the chicken with new potatoes and veg. Delicious……….we’ll be back.”

“Stayed at the campsite over this weekend. Lovely owners and a lovely tucked away campsite with amazing views. Everyone friendly and a nice little farm at the bottom with some animals. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a campsite on the edge of delamere forest. Thanks”

“Went as a large group of 18 seniors at beginning of summer holidays for lunch.. We all had a set two course menu of a roast and apple crumble. Couldn’t fault food and service. Food was tasty, hot, and plentiful. A shout out for Lottie our waitress who was brilliant and understood that some people had special requests. We will be back again.”
