Egerton Arms — Restaurant in England

My wife and I visited The Egerton Arms for the first time on Friday 25 October 2024. We had noticed its listing in the Camra ( Campaign for Real Ale ) Good Beer Guide and we were not disappointed. The Egerton Arms is set on its own plot just out of Little Budworth with a large gravelled car park in front of the pub . The local community run village store shares the car park and is a small, interestingly stocked shop with an external ' windowed marquee type ' of establishment on left of the Egerton Arms .

The main entrance at the front of the pub leads directly into the main 'L shaped' room ' with the bar on the left and a large 'more formal ' dining area to the right rear . A smaller more basic room is through a door on the left and then the gentleman's toilets are outside ' brrr!' via a door from that room. The ladies is in the main bar area on the extreme right handside . ( Note there is no disabled toilet , although the ladies was quite spacious- so my wife tells me !)

There are some very comfortable leather arm chairs and tables near the bar with a cast iron stove for extra heating by the bar ( with warning sign to avoid touching as would be extremely hot if it had been on ) The majority of the customers in the main room preferred stand or use the higher tables and stools in that area.

The six real ales were all very well priced - we had halves of Theakstons Old Peculier for only £4.80 a pint . A very decent drink so we risked a second half ! The food menu is a simple bar meals type menu but it is prepared freshly to a high standard . ( 4Things like burgers and pizzas ) We both had pizzas which arrived on large plates each with its own pizza cutter .

The customers and staff were friendly although the area by the bar was tightly packed with drinkers enjoying their Friday night . A great place to find and well...

We stopped over in our Campervan. We had tickets for the American Auto show and racing at Oulton Oark and the pub is 5 minute walk to the Lodge gate.

The pub was recommended by a friend and we loved being here. It’s free overnight as long as you buy a few pints or eat in the pub.

Inside it’s an old pub with a lovely country atmosphere. The bar staff were friendly and despite being busy we got served quickly. We had booked a table which is advisable as the pub is popular. There is seating both inside and out.

We ate here both nights and the food was excellent. Some of the best fish and chips we have had in a long time. Plenty of real ale on offer and a good selection of spirits and wine.

You can even watch a game of cricket from the rear of the pub.

There is a car park and this gets busy. Campervans are asked to park either to the far left or far right. This is because some of the parking is in the middle of the car park. There are facilities in the pub when open.

There is also a small local shop that sells everything, fresh bread, milk, hot food, cakes and other tinned food. We stocked...

We have been regular visitors for a while now and realised that I’ve never posted a review. The Egerton Arms is charming country pub. From the moment that you walk in the warm, rustic atmosphere makes you feel at home. Liz, John and the team are friendly, welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. There is always a good range of beers and ales on which change regularly along with great wines and spirits. The food is awesome - The menu includes a mixture of pub classics, specials and an awesome kebab. Today we had Sunday lunch - With lots of options to choose from I opted for the Roast Beef and it was melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly seasoned, and served with a generous portion of creamy mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The Yorkshire puddings are AMAZING. Everything is fresh and made from scratch. Overall, this pub offers a fantastic mix of great food, friendly service, and a cozy setting....
