On this occasion, a mixed experience. Met friends at 5pm for drinks. Table already booked for 8pm to dine. Bar busy, tables full of dirty glasses. We were invited to share a long table with another party. I made two trips to the bar with about sixteen empty glasses to make space for new drinks. Great to see the place so busy as it's our only local. My husband and his mates are regulars every Friday night, often on other days too. Unfortunately on this particular visit there was no draught beer or cold white wine. The reason for no hand-pulled beer was “The manager is cleaning the lines”. Yes really!!! Tea-time on December 29th whilst the pub and restaurant were heaving… It gets better!!! “Th...

We live locally so have been here a lot. The building itself is lovely and has a really nice atmosphere inside. I think they 've done a good job with making the different areas cosy and welcoming. Good selection of spirits and wines (though could do with more options for a couple of craft beers/IPAs). The food however is average at best, and very expensive for what it is. We 've eaten here about 5 times and it 's always been okay , nothing to write home about, but the bill is very high. My husband hit the nail on the head saying they 're charging fine dining prices for basic quality food after paying £16 for a very average chicken burger that would be about £10 elsewhere. I understand prices...

Me, my partner and our son came here for tea Monday evening, we had pre booked our table in anticipation of it being busy on the run up to Christmas. When we arrived it was really quiet, we got seated at our table and given the menus, 15 minutes went by and eventually a waitress came to take our drinks order, they arrived fairly quick but we were sat there for almost 30 minutes and our food order still hadn't been taken, so I asked a staff member if we could order food. I wouldn't mind if it was busy, I would of understood but when staff were stood around checking their phones and chatting, and there were only 2 other tables occupied, having to ask for someone to take our order is daft. Our...

Lovely roaring fire in entry lounge sets the scene for this inviting country pub. We had plenty of room in our booth in the rear so we could relax, chat and catch up together. Holly, our waitress was friendly taking our drink order while we perused the menu. Kids had proper healthy food options menu. Adult menu had great variety. We went for sticky chicken, beetroot arancini (super yum) garlic pizza. Excellent starter choices. Main of grilled chicken burger, their special beef burger, Marguerite pizza and superb fish n chips (beautiful light crispy batter with thick fillet. Triple fried chips for that extra crunch. Couldn’t finish it all as too full) In all this was a lovely meal; seating, s... Book a table now

My wife and I were driving north on the M6 and looking for somewhere for lunch, as an alternative to the usual soul-destroying motorway services. We found this place on Google Maps, just off Junction 32. So glad we did! We really enjoyed the food. Tender steak, delicious lamb, and some surprisingly good desserts. All very reasonably priced, too. And they had a decent selection of alcohol-free drinks, which was great for us. There was a nice atmosphere, and our servers were both really friendly and took good care of us. It's perhaps not a place to eat if you're in a hurry, but if you have an hour or two to spare, then you couldn't do better for a laid-back Sunday lunch. We'll definitely be ba...

Great spot and nice atomosphere. Food okay. Waitresses always lovely. However, the manager needs to improve his attitude. I was ready to put a nice tip on their tip plate (as always) then after splitting the bill, he made comment to my friend she had tipped more on the card machine than me and high fived her. This was offensive and undermining and not a way to treat anyone. The fact that I am a regular at this pub made this even more disappointing.

Went here with friends for dinner. The food and service were absolutely spot on. If I have one complaint it is that there are not enough seats in the lounge area for people wanting to have a drink pre or post dining. This wasn't the first time we had been to the Broughton, and it certainly won't be the last. The standard is consistently good and considering this was a busy Saturday evening we couldn't have been happier.

Looking forward to something special on New Years Eve lunchtime. Certain aspects were good nice waitresses but food not up to expectation and very expensive for what it was. Nothing we can say was bad but then nothing really good either.
