The Holly Bush Inn, Salt

Grecian's comments accurate. The Holly Bush is in all the food guides. There is no booking, but you can get a table within 10 minutes or so.
Food is good and the ale is usually good: guests tend to be from the Marston's subsidiaries.

The Admiral Rodney, Brewood

Doing well with the food and atmosphere, but the quality of the real ale is invariably poor. This is inevitable, considering how far away the casks are stored.
I eat there every week or so, but have never had good real ale in the last year.

The Old Harkers Arms, Chester

Pleasant surroundings, good beer with helpful descriptions, and good well-cooked food.

The Spread Eagle, Gailey

While the decor is smart in this Banks's chain pub restaurant, the quality of food and beer is not. Compared with a few years ago, when it was moderately acceptable, the menu now is a mix of ready meals. To be frank, you get much better and cheaper microwave meals at ASDA.
Staff were few in numbers and rushed, meals really were poor.
A few other customers were grumbling and all the meals looked unexciting. Really can't understand the popularity of the place. Overpriced for what they offer. Drive into Penkridge and eat something better.
