Hazel Pear - Northwich

Lunch for three on my first visit to this hotel . Meals were mostly very good and the service was first class. The only criticism I have is that the chips with my scampi must have come from the bottom of the bag because I had a lot of chatty little bits of chips. They were a bit stingy with the mushy peas to as there was only about a spoonful. Did serve a lot of scampi though.

We've used this venue, off and on for ten years, during which time it has changed hands four or five times (if memory serves) to find that, today 09.07.23, it has the best of the bunch yet, managing it. Their website is quite clearly annotated with the menu and the corresponding prices; therefore, no misunderstandings...? My good lady and I celebrated our joint birthdays with our usual aperitif, excellent fare and a more than palatable wine. She followed up with a cherry sundae – ‘to die for’? As habitual complainers, the only complaint we had was that we had nothing about which to complain. The whole experience was a joy; not least of which included the excellent service from the staff including the kitchen personnel. To top it off: The restaurant has its own resident guard dog, a bedroom slipper with teeth photo attached.

We tried 3 local pubs during our stay at a nearby B&B. This was our favourite. Nice pint of Timothy Taylors Boltmaker. Friendly staff. Light bites/bar snacks good value, well presented and tasty. Nice beer garden at the rear, with a large sheltered area under a canopy.

I revisited the Hazel Pear at Acton Bridge. The people and the welcome was excellent. This pub is little gem. It is close to Acton Bridge railway station with frequent trains to Runcorn. Liverpool Lime Street and Crewe.

Went here for my 65th birthday and was not disappointed, lovely food, good selection of beers etc, and staff could not be more friendly and helpful
