13th August 2025 āWandering Wednesdayā this week took Neil and I to another little gem of a family run pub in Golborne, just outside Warringtonā¦ā¦16 minutes drive from where we live. There is a menu to look at and also a specials board but it does state on the website that this will vary as all the produce is sourced locally, therefore giving a varied menu to what produce is available each weekā¦ā¦all for it, using local small businesses, all supporting each otherā¦ā¦. Plus itās a great idea and lovely surprise not knowing whatās on the menu till you get there! The pub itself is olde Worlde, spacious and spotless, lovely potted plants outside which were all in full bloom and well cared forā¦.. all staff were dressed in uniform, which always makes them look smartā¦. Our server was a lady called Tracy, who was very pleasant, professional and attentiveā¦.. thank you Tracy. (Tracyā¦..Without the āeā!š)
We both had the same today and went straight to entrĆ©eās from the specials board. We had a āPepe burgerā, a 6oz Angus beef patty, topped with a garlic bread slice, melted cheese throughout, also smothered in peppercorn sauce on a Brioche bun, served with chips, side salad and coleslaw, we doubled up on the patty for a double stack, you could tell the burger was homemade, it was juicy and all beef, really deliciousā¦ā¦ we ordered a side of onion rings to share but I forgot to take a photo until they were half gone!!!
We 100% would return back to our newly discovered Golborne pubā¦. A great all round, proper...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHaving been invited to a family birthday meal at these premises, I was looking forwards to the home cooked food, ambiance and good service which I have received previously on numerous occasions, but sadly on my recent visit , myself and guests were left bitterly disappointed by the quality of the food and service. What has happened to this place, has it changed hands or what. Our party was booked in for 6pm and despite all arriving on time we were told that we would have wait for a further 20 mins because our table was still occupied. This dragged on and it was nearly 7pm before we could be seated as those occupying the table were dragging their heels on leaving despite the premises being busy and people waiting. Our Drinks and food were quickly ordered but we had to wait until nearly 7.45 pm before the food arrived. A few guests ordered chicken which was very dry, chewy and appeared overcooked. The beef burger was dry and hard. Chips and vegetables were lukewarm. The steak pie which use to be a reasonable portion was very small and lukewarm. This was not of the usual standard from what I have experienced before. The portion sizes for the price were unacceptable. Also drinks orders were not correct whereby non alcoholic drinks were substituted with alcoholic drinks. We had intended to order sweets but we're put off by the long wait by which time everyone had lost their appetite. All I All this was a bad experience having enjoyed many good meals in the past. I am reluctant to...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe first time everything was fantastic food owner it was that good we went again. We are a group thatās set up Iām checking out pubs that will be good for our meetings I used to be a secret dinner. So I still use the same speel to see how they react. If you click on lowest score reviews you can see my points have been raised with other people.Especially with ethnic minorities. He targeted a lady in our group that was Indonesian. He was rude and whispered things under his breath. I can lip read!! My meal was taken away when I went to the toilet he offered to give me another portion of veg. I donāt want veg on its own I had a few chips left my sauce and all my veg. I said Iāll take a pudding home with me can I have it a Ā£1 cheaper has a good will gesture. He went on about me taking food out of his childās mouth. WHAT. I had my meal taken away thatās always the best bit. always look at all the reviews. Especially single out the bad ones if a lot are saying the same thing there...
