Awarded as Cheshire Life Dining Pub of the Year 2012/2013 with Richard ‘Dickie’ Cotterill who worked at Box Tree restaurant and Chester Grosvenor restaurant (both are Michelin starred establishments) as the head chef, my expectation was high to find good food here. Thank God, traveling 45 minutes was worthwhile. The oxtail risotto was to die for!!! Never had anything like it.
We arrived at 18:50, rain & cold.
