Atmospheric dining in cheshire

“Last week we were [invited] to Sotto for "Tales of the Med" with Stir by night which involved bottomless tapas, paella, pizza and pasta Sotto is a fusion of Spanish and Italian cuisines which has resulted in a combination of homely, fresh food made with passion. Our night began with a coktail, the first of many....so the concept for this night was to bring s bottle of spirits which the @stirbynight guys would craft into genius cocktails as we feasted. I was very impressed with every drink they made with my favourite being gin based and served in a glass of powered beetroots, this resulted in a vibrant shokicng pink cocktail The food was crazy. Not just in flavour but in quantity! I have never been so full that I have had to force myself to eat mushroom and truffle ravioli before, it's a favourite of mine and I was tortured by its beautiful smell as I collapsed in a glutenous heap We were served pizza, Spanish tortilla, patatas bravas and olives before a very unique dish was served (The 4th picture) At first glance I thought this was a paella, but it was actually made of pasta cut finely and cooked with clams and parsley. It was very unusual and like nothing I've had before, personally I did not enjoy this as much as the actual paella that was served later on The chicken paella was absolutely beautiful, it was cooked in a traditional method from the region of Spain the owner Athena is from. I filled up on this a bit too much but paella is up there in the lisy of my favourite foods My favourite dish was the deep fried ravioli! Stuffed with spinach and ricotta, deep fried and topped with a tomato based sauce with Chorizo. This was incredible!! Definitely an amazing invention and a trend needing to kick off Overall we had an amazing experience, theres too much food to talk about. Big thank you to Sotto and Stir by Night for having us. Check out Sotto's website for more info on the bottomless tapas night and also read up the VIVA magazine review on google @robbie.reviews on Instagram”

“Just had a lovely family lunch here, I can highly recommend the fish and chips, although all the meals looked delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful, the pub is cosy with a great beer garden that has a selection of climbing frames for the kids. Would definitely recommend a visit.”

“Great pub, great quiz, great snacks, great range of drinks.”

“11 of us visited on the 20/06/25 for a birthday meal. I hadn't eaten from the Spice Tower for over 6 years when it was under previous management following a poor takeaway. WOW it has changed. I had a takeaway a few weeks ago to test it out before booking for my stepsons birthday meal out and loved it. The family attended for said birthday last night and everybody agreed that the food was delicious and the service great. I personally had the tamarind prawns to start and the chum chum mix for main and couldn't fault it. Great value for money to. I think I've found a new favourite.”

“We've used Kamrans for years. Consistently high quality food delivered promptly. A particular favourite of ours is their Jal Masala. Highly recommended.”

“A very nice pub,not too far away from Manchester Airport. Atmosphere was very good, food equally good and reasonably priced. Service was a bit slow,but it was very busy. When our meals did arrive it was well worth the wait. Your four legged friends are also welcome. I would definitely go again.”

“Arranged a meal for family for my husbands 85th birthday. We were looked after by Francine & Lara they were so attentive to my husband & the children. The service was excellent & food first class. Thoroughly enjoyed are visit.”

“We have been here 3 times so far. The food is excellent. One of the best Indian restaurants that I have tried so far. The owner is very friendly and the price is great. We have tried their deal 5 courses for 15£. This place definitely worth a visit. Will definitely go Back.”

“Love this place! amazing staff and always have a lovely time when I come in .. always friendly 10/10 xxx”

“Delicious food and really catered for my dietary restrictions. Great extensive gluten free menu. Would highly recommend, will be back. The women behind the bar are great and really friendly! Lovely cosy spot.”

“An incredible selection of draught beers, but one of the rarest of them all, Bass, is here on tap. It's worth it just to try this gem. Very quick and friendly service. Usual classic pub vibe, people having a convo after work, etc. Very nice indeed.”

“We had a great time having a pint and scran after walk. Really good camembert board. Good value for money with lots of artisan bread. Also lovely side order of sausage.”

“Visited today and was very impressed with the food quality, presentation, and flavor—it was outstanding! However, I’m giving it 4 stars because although the food was excellent, we had to ask for our drinks as they weren’t ready, which meant a bit of a wait. That said, the place had a lovely, cozy atmosphere overall.”

“First visit after being recommended by a friend. Excellent food and friendly service. Very nice place.”

“I am very happy I stayed at the Waterside Hotel and had breakfast there. They take good care of the guests and accommodate funny requests when possible. My special thanks to Adele, she has a good eye for detail and contributed to starting the days on a good mood =) Also thanks to kitchen staff! Good work! Those egg Benedict... And the pancakes... Delicious! Greetings from Room 31.”

“We came for the bottomless brunch for my daughters birthday. The service from Issy was fantastic. The food was also great. I couldn't recommend this place enough. Prices very reasonable. Would definitely visit again.”

“The pies were amazing and kids eating for £1 on a Saturday with an adult… buzzing!!”

“Lovely fish and chips, friendly service and good prices. Haven't tried any of the Asian food but would expect it to be up to the same high quality”

“Food was lovely. Staff was really friendly. Would go here again.”

“Thee staff were warm and attentive, making us feel welcome from the start. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were more than generous. We had both starters and mains, and honestly, we were too full to even consider dessert. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but the quality and experience made it well worth it. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Always make space for us and are wonderful at finding a quiet table for us and our autistic daughter. Couldn’t praise the staff highly enough. Great food and drink and wonderful atmosphere. Natalie who served us tonight was brilliant, much appreciated.”

“Wonderful place with outdoor seating which has access to the canal. Good food, good service. You can sit outdoor for a long time. Had a wonderful evening with friends and family at this place. Enjoy the beautiful village and good places chill out the evening. Near to Manchester. 20 minutes drive, parking available. Dogs allowed.”

“The staff were brilliant, couldn't fault them at all especially the young lady that looked after us but they were all great, very friendly and attentive. The food was really nice, cooked to perfection, served in good time, hot and with a smile. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely pay another visit.”

“We always get amazing food from here, especially the pizzas—they’re absolutely delicious! Delivery is just as speedy as the name promises. We’d 100% recommend this place to everyone!”

“Diane the member of staff was very friendly and polite and allowed us to change tables for the amazing view over Manchester. There was no Turkey available on the Christmas menu, but there were plenty of other options available so we chose Gammon. The food was excellent quality and so delicious. We love the food and ambience here. A very nice place to eat and drink for any occasion.”

“Been coming in the George for few weeks now after not being here for couple of years. Food menu has changed and is really good. Two meals for £12 on certain days. Can not complain one bit. Bar staff actually have a smile on their faces and make you feel welcome. Quiz nights music pool table live football all a bonus. Dog friendly”

“Lovely food, great service, freindly staff.”

“Absolutely brilliant, great customer service, top quality food although they need to expand the menu with more choices”

“This is the best travelodge I have stayed in. I have had the opportunity to stay in many over the years and this little travelodge exceeded all expectations. Yes it's an old road side style travelodge ut the staff are friendly and maintain the property very well. The reception smells nice with fresh flowers and the corridor and rooms are exceptionally clean. Well done to the staff going above and beyond.”

“We visit Chorley almost every month and love to eat at Hartwood Hall. Our favourite is the filet steak which is always cooked to perfection. All the staff are friendly and helpful. On our latest visit we were served by John and Pippa, always a delightful experience. This is a popular restaurant and yet there is always a parking space and it’s free. You know you can relax and enjoy the gentle atmosphere. In summer there are tables outside, a bit close to the main road for us, so we stay indoors. So are there any problems? Only two as far as I am concerned, they don’t offer blue cheese as a cheese or a sauce and pouring cream is not on the menu either. Despite this we keep coming back for the great food, try the Mac & Cheese as a great side dish, it goes with anything.”
