Food establishment in Northwich

“Went for lunch on recommendation of a friend and wasnot disappointed. Had the 3 course fixed price lunch. Lovely fresh cooked food, generous portion, great value for money. Friendly staff, though did seem to be a little short handed. Lovely environment, nice and clean, plenty of parking. Will definitely be back.”

“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❤️”

“If your thinking this is a Food bank ...your wrong. Cheshire hub are reducing food waste from supermarkets ending up in landfill. If you've never been well get yourselves over there. There are a group of really welcoming staff and volunteers always willing to help. Parking... now please don't park on the main road. It causes issues for everyone from traders, residents and people driving by. It you take the turning next yo the hub you will find plenty of parking available. Someone is about to direct you if need be. Now first timers will need to register and you get a membership number. Then on you visit to the hub you pay £4 and big along 2 sturdy shopping bags. The ladies and gents will guide you around and help fill your bags to the brim. Then why not stop for a coffee and a chat. I must admit I miss the Monday sessions but I try to visit when I can.”

“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.”

“We stopped by for an impromptu lunch. We visited at 12:30 and luckily there was a table. Although it was incredibly busy, service was prompt, as was the food. We each ordered the bacon, brie and cranberry ciabatta and shared a portion of cheesy chips. The food was delicious; the bacon was nice and thick with plenty of flavour and the chips were obviously home made and actually tasted like potatoes. We did have to wait for the chips but the issue was resolved quickly. Highly recommended place, excellent value, delicious food and friendly staff”

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

“Our first time eating in after only ordering in. Great service and always good food. As a suggestion we’d love to hear Portuguese music and reminisce about our holidays!”

“I've just tried this place for the first time and the moment I finished chewing my final bite of my burger I just had to leave a review! The burger was genuinely the nicest burger I remember eating. Ever. The patty was perfectly cooked, the ratio perfect, the sauce delicious and the lettuce fresh and crisp. I'm currently debating ordering a second one.. .”

“Another garden on our doorstep that we hadn't visited before. A very interesting "natural" garden in a lovely location. This garden is also looked after by two people, brothers, who have been here for 30 years i believe. Well worth supporting. The wildlife is good here too with one, I guess, very tame robin.”

“Popped in with family after a visit to Marbury Park. Everyone was very happy with their food and the service was excellent. Lovely lady who served us with a smile and didn’t mind that our young lad wasn’t eating. Good banter from other customers too, clearly a well liked little local place. It’s small and basic but hits the spot… and proper mushy peas!”

“Place is always packed staff always welcoming not matter what. Fantastic range of beverages too consume never a dull moment here”

“We ordered the Signature dish, Rogan Josh and some sides. It was so delicious, really generous portions and very good quality - especially the chicken. Staff are really nice and kitchen is very clean. Strongly recommend!”

“Very surprised!!! My friend took me here but the wine bar sign and no mention of Thai restaurant and the decor had me worrying.. BUT no need the food was fabulous especially the chicken toast and I will be definitely going back..”

“Amazing food ran by lovely people. Never had a bad meal, everything is so fresh and tasty. Would recommend to any one. Veggie or not.”

“The food was delicious and the staff very friendly. They had divided the tables using Italian flags which made it bright and cheerful. I didn't feel like an exhibit as I do when separated by screens”

“Chilled vibes, good prices and loving the style!”

“What a fantastic place to eat! Staff very friendly, attentive and helpful. Good was delicious, good portions and reasonably priced. Truly dog friendly, with a cosy atmosphere and warming log fire. Highly recommend!”

“My favourite place to eat. Staff are really lovely and friendly and the food is always delicious. Its a bit more expensive than most pubs but you will see why if you go. Totally worth it.”

“Along side the Market café probably the longest established café. Good simple fry ups and great value. Some staff don't smile much.”

“Excellent in every way - apart from perhaps the chap in the café shouting at a Dad and his young child for riding their bikes in the park. OK, rules are rules, but chill a bit, man.”

“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”

“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.”

“Always enjoy our meals in here. They offer a gluten free menu, prices are decent, broad selection of drinks. Good friendly honest service. Have come a few times now both at lunch and tea. Kids loved playing footy outside in summer. Can be busy but it's a great pub so it will be. Prefer sitting outside with dog as its less noisy, hot and crowded for them. Highly recommended.”

“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 love the Vale Royal Abbey Arms because it’s a large, well-managed pub in a good location, with plenty of parking. Our dog loves it because there’s usually plenty of space in the dog-friendly dining areas and there’s even a dog menu and doggy treat station. The food is very good - I’m a particular fan of the steak and ale pie, and you can have a miniature dessert and coffee if you’ve not got room for a large portion. The service is excellent. We have been looked after several times by Ben - who is particularly thoughtful and efficient.”

“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.”

“Oh my word what a pub! Mental! Never had a pint taste so good. Went down smoother than Barry White necking cream in a jazz bar with Hugh Hefner. Would recommend”

“Having just moved into the village we have found Claire and the team to be really welcoming. The Oddfellows Arms is at the heart of Davenham and their commitment to serving the community was evident on Sunday 4th May 25 with their community fundraising event. Live music all day, free burgers (with a donation to charity) entertainment for the kids it was a great day. I recommend a visit to the Oddfellows Arms to see for yourself.”

“We went when they had a band playing in the beer garden a couple of weeks ago. We had a great time and the atmosphere was brilliant. The staff were friendly and the drinks were very good and well priced. We'll be returning there, I wish I'd known about the beer garden last summer when I moved to Northwich.”
