“Always love coming here with my family, great food, drinks and atmosphere. Service is exceptional and the food is absolutely delicious. Always good to see my friends here. The beer garden out back is a beautiful sun trap in the summer, very chilled and peaceful.”

“Best Sunday dinner we have had in a long time! Me and my partner go to lots of places for Sunday dinner and The Queen’s Head tops the lot! Large sizes and the cheesy leeks/ cauliflower cheese was incredible. Staff were really attentive and looked after us throughout our stay. We shall be back and will recommend to friends and family.”

“I have visited Higher Ground on numerous occasions and love the decor, atmosphere and delicious food. Staff are always polite and attentive. I often visit with my children and mum who has mobility issues and staff go out of their way to accommodate us on a table that is accessible for her. The food is always delicious, and it is clear that they use the best locally sourced products. I usually go for brunch but recently tried the Shawarma wrap that was amazing. Would definitely recommend.”

“Comprehensive brunch menu. Well cooked, lovely polite and helpful staff. Reasonably priced, not cheap but you get what you pay for a quality well cooked meal. Thank you.”

“Just stopped in again to capital walk to try another of the micro restaurants. This time cafe Paris We both had a sandwich, excellent taste, price and presentation please keep it going!”

“Called for coffees at closing time on a Sunday not expecting to be served, but pleasantly surprised by Darcy who happily obliged giving great service with a smile - thank you Darcy.”

“It is the first time I found a Tibetan restaurant in the United Kingdom. The restaurant owner is a Tibetan who moved to the UK a long time ago. The decorations and atmosphere of the restaurant is very unique. The food quality is also impressive too. I highly recommend Momo and Bhod Jha. However, the portion of dishes is not very large and may be more suitable for ladies. Highly recommended!”

“The Horseshoe in Astbury is an absolute gem! The food is nothing short of amazing – beautifully cooked, full of flavor, and presented with care.

“What a splendid pub with delicious beer…who could ask for more ? Friendly, helpful staff, great atmosphere. Thoroughly recommended !!”

“Booked Air of the Dog for 21st birthday and we were not disappointed. The guys setting up were so nice, very friendly and helpful. The pub itself was amazing. It definitely had the wow factor. The package is definitely value for money. I'm now trying to think of another reason to have a party so that I can book it again. Thanks Matt and the guys for helping to make it a memorable event that all my guests enjoyed.”

“Beautiful cafe with a wonderful atmosphere. The toasties and panini's were delicious. There is seating both inside and outside so you can sit out in the sun.”

“I visited Feast at 10am on a Monday morning with my daughter. The cafe felt clean, fresh and bright. The atmosphere was lovely with music quietly playing, local newspapers available to borrow and staff attentive but not overbearing. It felt like the kind of place I could’ve spent a while enjoying my delicious and hot coffee and cherry sourdough toast without feeling uncomfortable at all. We will definitely return!”

“Family meal for my wife's Birthday and our 25 wedding anniversary. Excellent food and very friendly staff. Definitely be going again soon”

“Another amazing Sunday lunch at one of our favourite venues. The most tender beef sirloin & perfectly cooked vegetables served with plenty roasts & gravy.”

“On our first visit to Congleton we were lucky to stop here for a beer and a half. Great wee place run by a nice host. If you want to sit and chat over a beer or two this is for you.”

“Loved this place. Service was fantastic and the food was great. The team are super friendly too. I popped in for an early lunch on Tuesday while cycling the “Way of the Roses” to Bridlington. I made it in 2 days as planned. Thank you, for helping me refuel. Hope to see you all again soon. Steve”

“Great selection of beer, lovely atmosphere, and arguably the best cocktails ever”

“We had an incredible blt bagel featuring the crispiest most delicious bacon I’ve had in many a moon. A very nice spot for a brunch date and the staff were lovely.”

“Deniz is a lovely place to come for food, this is the second time I have been and both times, the service, staff and atmosphere has always been incredible. Everything on the menu is delicious, the food comes out very prompt! The staff have always been extremely friendly, they couldn’t do anymore for you. I first came for my Mum’s birthday at Lunch and we had such a lovely time, we said we would recommend and come back. Tonight we came for my friends birthday and they couldn’t have done enough for us, they even sang him Happy Birthday in Turkish. Very kind people and we will bring more people back to this restaurant.”

“Went in to meet a friend for tea and a chat. Good parking and access. Greeted warmly as soon as I got in the door by friendly and welcoming staff. Good service, great food and cakes. Will certainly go again!”

“Great area for all the family members and friendly dogs. After nice walk everyone can enjoy a cup of coffee or an ice cream in local coffee. Summer time is even better as you can enjoy water activities”

“An absolutely beautiful 7 course meal. We couldn’t fault anything. 5 stars ⭐️ isn’t enough for this fantastic place. My only one regret is, all the staff signed a birthday card for Lucy, and she forgot to pick it up. She was gutted on our way home.”

“Nice quirky place to have a drink and something to eat. The place itself was clean and presented well. Staff were friendly and polite and made you feel welcome.”

“My fiancée and I called in for lunch ,very friendly and attentive staff and the food was excellent well worth five stars rating”

“Lovely bar. The barman was friendly, the beers well kept and reasonably priced. The decor is relaxed and comfy and they are dog friendly. I recommend”

“Warmly welcomed on entering, able to choose where we sat, which is always nice. Cosy country pub feel with a roaring fire. Food was of a good standard and well presented. The selection of bees and wines was very good, having Kopperburg crisp apple on draughty, was a first for me. The view from the garden is spectacular, and we will definitely make it one of our summer destinations.”

“Great place. We came away with bottles of local ales, chutney, meat and cheese. There are several different shops including clothing and camping. We'll worth visiting for all that alone but on top of it all there's the animals which our granddaughter loved seeing and feeding with the £1 bags of feed. Then having a tractor trailer ride around the fields, a play in the play area and an ice cream. Plenty of parking. Something for everyone.”

“Boothroyd agrees that this a good place for an old King to drink. Surprisingly large pub with a rear patio. Boothroyd decided on a pint of draught Bass. Very good traditional ale. Sat in the strand twixt bar and garden, close to the Throne Room. Enjoyed the music.”

“Recently reopened and what a pleasure to visit. We have walked, cycled and driven to this pub. Situated on the main road from Biddulph to Congleton, and a stones throw from the Biddulph valley way, it’s a perfect place for a pit stop. Warm, welcoming and relaxed, serving basic pub grub, but done just right and at a reasonable price! Staff are friendly and welcoming and after a couple of visits, remember you, which adds to the experience. Good selection of beers and wines, with Timothy Taylor being a very nice pint.”
