AMAZING!!! As far as I remember this place has won pub food…read moreof the year ever year since Ive lived in the area. Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.

We visited the Hare and Hounds as it had been picked as the venue of this years North Cheshire CAMRA AGM obviously because of the quality of the beers. There were four beers on handpumps and, as I was driving, I had to rely on other's opinions on three of them. All agreed that they were tasty and well-kept; high praise from a gathering of CAMRA members! The menu was excellent and, although none of us were there to dine, the smells were beautiful, plus we saw the chef eating his own food always a good sign. Looking around the building one is impressed by the stylish yet friendly atmosphere including the beer gardens, which include the famous brook, which is the site of the annual duck race at Easter raising a phenomenal amount of money for charities.

It turned out that the rave that I was going to didn't start until 3:00 pm, but I caught the bus…read morethat took me there at 10:00 am, which wasn't too bad because it meant I could go for a wander and visit some pubs that I wouldn't normally be able to visit, such as this one. It is a rather quiet English pub out in the country, with the rather charming interior that you would expect from a lot of these pubs. However, it also has a huge beer garden, which is delightful in summer, though I do have to admit that I've really only been in England during the summer so I haven't exactly experienced the worst that weather has to offer. Still, yeah, it's a rather nice pub.

I was at the Hatton Arms last night for my cousin's 18th birthday with all the family. What a…read morelovely pub! It's set just outside the charming village of Stockton Heath and has that country pub feel without having to venture too far from civilisation. The bar stocks some good ales but I opted for Old Mout Cider, a fruity little number that was perhaps a bit too easy to drink, hence a sore head this morning. There's a lovely beer garden out the back with picnic tables, parasols and plenty of grass space for kids to run around. Staff are friendly and the locals seem like decent folk ( I certainly didn't spot any track suits, which is always a good sign). Food wise, we were treated to a delicious buffet of Thai fish cakes, chicken wings, salad and pulled pork, which was delicious. So judging by this, I would imagine their everyday food menu is pretty good too.

Stopped off on the way back home to Yorkshire with our caravan only…read morebecause it was on a nice straight bit of road and meant we didn't have to mess around turning or manoeuvring with such a large piece of kit behind the car. What a cracking find. The place had real character and even for a Monday lunchtime was very well patronised. No wonder. The service was excellent; the young chap behind the bar was extremely welcoming and was great with our 2 year-old granddaughter (note: child friendly, although a few high chairs would have been a bonus). The food was well prepared and far more than we could eat. The menus were extensive and provided good value for money. A nice little touch was having the menus pasted into the insides of different books, guides, reference books and even story books for the kids. Overall, a pleasant experience. If we are in the Chester area in the future, we will certainly be back, and I suggest if you, the reader of this review are near there, you give it a try, too; you won't regret it.

Extremely friendly staff and Little Budworth (local village) folk. Real cask ales. What more could you ask from a traditional English country pub? I used to work in Chester a while back and was well aware of this hidden gem nestled in the picturesque Cheshire countryside. It was great to return last week whilst playing cricket at the adjacent Oulton Park cricket club. Only about half an hour away from Manchester this is a perfect spot to come for some lunch/dinner on your way back from Chester. Alternatively if you're a a petrol head like me, with Oulton park racing circuit just around the corner it can also act as a perfect pitstop on your way back after a few laps. Have yet to try the food but won't be long until that's rectified because the menu looks sensational. Highlights from it include the following. Pizza; 'The special one' (Goat's cheese, caramelised onions, rocket). Burger; 'The special one' (Cheese, beer soaked onions, gerkins, garlic mayo, special sauce, lettuce tomato relish) A special mention also for the Artisanal French cured meat platter (Yes that's as posh as it sounds) A selection of house charcuterie and paté from La Boucherie Candotto in South West France. In terms of drinks, not being a massive beer fan the only thing that stood out from the cocktail menu was 'The Egerton Refresher'. With Gin, home made marmalade, Mint, Elderflower and Pressed Apple Juice it looks right up my street.
