Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The food was good quality but nothing to rave over. Took ages to order everything, receive drinks and food and no check back on our food; also not being offered any sauces or extra drinks. Staff stood around the bar not seeming interested in their...job. We won’t be back in a hurry, shame as it’s a beautiful place.More

A lovely lunch at this pub. On a cold December Saturday we received the warmest welcome. The food was delicious, especially the burger. But the staff were definitely above average. Well worth a visit.More

A 60 minute wait for an overdone steak is not my idea of a fun night out. Given the length of time they had you would think they could have got it right. Shame really because it's quite a nice place. Probably give it another...go.More

Unfailingly a good choice for lunch or dinner. Friendly staff, excellent food, slightly unusual items often added to the menu alongside the country pub standards. Easy parking and a short walking distance from Mouldsworth station. Can get a bit noisy on a busy evening but...just book a quiet table if you're there for a chat and catch-up time. If you're a walker, which I was in my younger days, it's an easy distance from the west side of Delamere Forest.More
