Our View

This city-outskirts inn has extensive views from its beer garden across the Cheshire Plain. Inside, country-house formality meets cottage homeliness – heavy beams, open fires with precision-cut logs, and well-stocked bookshelves. Lunchtime offers sandwiches, wraps and focaccias, while evening diners can expect a good choice of fish dishes such as whole roasted sea bass, wild rice, pak choi and red Thai sauce; and meat dishes, perhaps toad in the hole; or venison loin; plus steaks, pies and vegetarian options such as tomato and roasted red pepper risotto.

About the area

Discover Cheshire

Nestled between the Welsh hills and Derbyshire Peaks, the Cheshire plains make an ideal location to take things slow and mess around in boats. Cheshire has more than 200 miles (302 km) of man-made waterways, more than any other county in England. The Cheshire Ring is formed from the Rochdale, Ashton, Peak Forest, Macclesfield, Trent and Mersey and Bridgewater canals. This route takes you through a lot of Cheshire, and bits of other counties as well.

While exploring the county’s waterways, covering ground on foot or admiring the typical white plaster and black timber-frame houses, make sure to have a taste of Cheshire’s most famous produce. Although Cheddar has become Britain’s most popular cheese (accounting for over half of the cheese sales in the UK), it was once Cheshire cheese that was in every workman’s pocket back in the 18th century. Its moist, crumbly texture and slightly salty taste mean it goes well with fruit, peppers or tomatoes. As well as the usual white, there are also red and blue veined varieties.
