    We arrived, no one to seat us 2 people walked passed made eye contact and said nothing: Went to the bar to ask if we can be seated to our table and was met with “I don’t know where you’re sitting” followed by an awkward laugh. Sat us down no menu’s etc. Blonde lady came over (manage or a senior member of staff) was accommodating and moved us to the restaurant. When she took our order, we asked if the meat comes pink on the roast beef, she said “yes, however you like it cooked we can do it” Partner asked if there’s a veggie option as the menu at the table does not reflect the one on the website. She said yes the kitchen can do you a veggie tofu roast. We asked does it come with all the trimmings like the other roasts. “Yes, it comes with all the trimmings mate” Food arrived. Unseasoned bland Beef was well done over cooked. No roast potatoes Veggie option was a vegan one so had one parsnip and a bit of cabbage no seasoning, no flavour. Not once were we told it’s a vegan option. Blonde lady came back with potatoes no apology, potatoes which had looked like they have been cooked by the heat of a lamp soaked in oil. I mentioned the issue with the beef. Was told; “I found out last week, that’s how’s it’s cooked as it’s cooked the day before it so comes like that” so I mentioned if you said that from the start I would have ordered something else, but you said I could have it how you like. “Sorry about that mate” that was it. No discount off the meal nothing. Not very apologetic. Avoid!!

    Had an excellent lunch. Friendly service, delicious food (something for everyone), and at a very reasonable price indeed. Will definitely be returning!

    A nice pub in a pleasant location within Bowdon. There were a couple of decent real ales on tap and there was good outdoor space to enjoy on a nice summer day. It was atmospheric to hear the church bells chiming in the early evening.
