| Just a short note to say that this pub has gone from being part of the Chef and Brewer chain to being part of the Old English Inns chain. This means that beers are now all Greene King related ones (e.g. Old Speckled Hen). The decor seems to jhave been refurbished, but since I don’t visit regularly, I’m not certainwhat has changed, other than the artwork on the walls now having a more modernist appearance. Pretty much a case of “la plus ca change” ... Martinsh - 4 Dec 2011 21:57 |
| I’ve been here a few time on an occasional basis, and the quality of this pub seems to be declining slowly. First of all, it is part of the Chef and Brewer chain (which BITE refuses to admit exists !), so anyone who has visited one knows what to expect. Lots of fake wooden beams, and the interior divided haphazardly into alcoves. Emphasis on dining, but drinkers still catered for. However, when we visited on Boxing Day, we were presented with the “Sunday menu” (since it was Sunday) which seem to be about half the size of what I expected, and there were no specials at all. Also there was only one real ale available – Greene King IPA. Since one of the others wad Old Speckled Hen, you can tell the slectiuon wasn’t very adventurous. I had the Gammon Steak with chips and peas, which seemed to consist of an enormous piece of meat with a few vegetables thrown in as an afterthought ! 6/10 – needs to improve NB this pub ISN'T in Wistaston. It is on the Nantwich to Middlewich road. about 1 mile from Wistaston (neaer to Wistaston Green) I think it is officially in Wolstanwood - but that "village" is basically the pub and nothing else !

| This was my local until I moved away from the area 4 years ago. We visited this pub last weekend when passing, and were very disappointed. It used to serve excellent food and beer, but seems to have gone downmarket somewhat. Gone are the pints of prawns, the range of ales and the quality food. If you want a quick meal and pint of lager, you will be perfectly happy in this place, but it's not up to the standard it once was. Aaron95 - 24 Jan 2008 15:38 |
