If you want a decent meal at a sensible price in Knutsford, this is your place. The Joey burger was a proper sized meal and dessert was good too. From the hand pumps I had a pint of the Holts bitter which was OK, if a little bland, followed by the Holts IPA which was more to my taste and very refreshing. As another reviewer has pointed out, the tiling in the gents is interesting, but not unpleasant at all, a change from the normal dull white tiling and anti-slip flooring you get in so many places. I probably wouldn't call in just for the beer, but their pricing on food makes this a winner for me.

Holt's are usually known for their honest backstreet Manchester boozers. This soulless refurb of an old town pub is squarely aimed at the 'Cheshire Set'. More akin to having a pint in a trendy motorway service area cafe than a pub.

Great pub and wonderful food. Bar staff are always very freindly. I suggest the House bitter Joey holts.

Had some great meals here, and the portions, WOW. Now its been done up, its like a wine bar type of thing. Lager is warm though.

totally changed now , all the chavs seem to have migrated elsewhere , have eaten 4 times here and the food is brilliant , no pool table any longer and lots of plasma screens around but they show just videos off the jukebox , should have the footie on sometimes , seems to be taking a lot of food custom off other pubs just a shame the beer is crap 10/10 for the food but maybe thats all its about now a lot of old locals seem to have gone elsewhere since the refurb

Is awaiting a major renovation apparently. Quite a lot of nooks and crannies (and a rear dining area that they sometimes open). It can be great for Sunday lunches with the wife/kids and Friday night with the mates (though forget getting anywhere near the pool table). Some of the bar staff in the past have been outstandingly good considering I'm not a local.

I would highly reccomend this pub, I stayed there for 2 nights in New Year and had a fabulous time. The food and drinks were excellent and they have a superb room with a four poster bed. All of the staff really go out of their way to make you feel welcome and I will be returning shortly

The Angel is well established pub in the Knutsford area. It has recently had a full refurb but has since lost some of its charm. Used to be renowned for youth drinking but the youngsters have moved on greener pastures. There are many nicer pubs in town.
