Lunch time driving the A41 - saw a sign for the Carden Arms. Didn't say it was 2 miles - but it was worth it. Sadly only a snack lunch, but a hugely warm welcome, attentive and friendly service and one of the best pork pates I've had in a long time - with real bread and home made pickles. Driving restricts drinking, but will return to sample the real ales and a wider selection off the menu at another time - but the coffee was good as well. It's the sort of discovery you don't want to find with a restricted time scale which means I will return. A restorative hub of calm and a real local pub.

FAB. Lovely friendly staff and great atmosphere. Excellent value for money too. A little 'off the beaten track' but well worth going out of your way for. We both had the lamb shank which just melted in your mouth, a great selection of veg too. Good wine selection by the glass and not expensive. Definitely one to go on your 'bucket list'. A lovely private dining room upstairs too.

Visited on a 'works do' with our team on a beautiful day in October and had a really lovely time. The service was attentive without being intrusive and the attention to detail absolutely impeccable. It's a joy to just sit and take in your surroundings - from the smart exterior with quirky signs to the antiques and comfortable furnishings inside. Real log fires, vintage cutlery and plates and some lovely touches for visiting dogs complete the feeling of relaxation. It is truly a place you can imagine staying all afternoon, playing board games and sampling the extensive range of great tipples behind the bar. We were lucky enough to have a sneak peak into one of the beautiful bedrooms as we often have people visiting us and would like to recommend somewhere local that's personal and 'home from home'. Once again the finishing touches were exquisite with antiques and modern fittings used beautifully side by side to create a truly unique atmosphere. Food was great too! We will definitely be back.

My group of cyclists arrived here wet and bedraggled at noon on a rainy Sunday. The bar staff were very welcoming and lit up the log fire to help us dry out. The food and drink were excellent. I particularly like the fact that there's a "normal" menu on Sundays as well as the inevitable Sunday roast. We ended up staying for a couple of hours, sampling the dessert menu and the coffees, while we waited for the rain to stop - nobody was in a hurry to leave!

Thank you to all the staff. After a day at the local Cheshire ice cream farm for my sons 3rd birthday we stumbled on this pub on the way home. With 4 toddlers dressed as super hero’s and 6 exhausted adults descending on the pub they made a space for us quickly and with no fuss. (Not every pub would be as accommodating, especially on a Saturday evening for a large group with kids). We were made very welcome, the food was excellent and the service was prompt. The atmosphere was cosy with the fire roaring. Children’s food portions were massive - great value for money.
We will definitely be returning! Thank you again
