The Pheasant Inn

Have been here for meals several times over the years and always had great food. We moved away and recently returned to the area so have been back a few times recently. The food has been wonderful but tonight such a difference. It’s always crazy busy and tonight was no exception but the normal speedy service did not happen tonight we waited over 30 minutes. My husbands favourite curry was as usual,delicious . My favourite fish pie was considerably smaller and the normal creamy sauce , tonight was very watery.The peas were in a dish with water in which was not only cold but it impossible to get the peas out. The staff were all so busy so couldn’t get their attention and no one came to us to see if food was ok. Such a disappointment. Will try again in the hopes it might have been a one off.

Stayed one night at the Pheasant on a midweek break. It turned out that we arrived on the first snowy day of the year. If anything, the snow added to the already considerable charm of the old inn, nestled in a fold of the Peckforton hills. We were greeted by the hardworking and personable Alisha, who looked after us brilliantly during our stay. We were quickly checked in and directed to our room in the old barn. The room was very comfortable and wonderfully warm, which was welcome, given that the external temperatures were hovering around zero. Standards of housekeeping are impeccable at the Pheasant. The bedroom and bathroom were extremely clean and appeared to have been refurbished relatively recently. The double bed was very comfortable and sleep quality was good. Tea and coffee making facilities were provided. The bathroom was equipped with high quality toiletries. Drinks and dinner at the inn made for a highly enjoyable evening. The food is high-end gastropub and was appreciated by both of us. Breakfast the following day consisted of a wide choice of cereals and juices. There was also an extensive cooked menu. The “full English” was excellent. The stay flew by, and we were sorry to leave. It certainly won’t, however, be our last visit. This wonderful old inn offers visitors the finest traditional British hospitality. It is comfortable, informal and welcoming. The staff are outstanding. Recommended in the highest possible terms.

We asked the hotel to store bank details to pay for food and drink. We stayed three nights and after departure we then had Facebook statuses written about us saying we hadn’t payed the bill. We knew nothing about this as we assumed the hotel would have notified us. Instead the General Manager and another member of staff took it upon themselves to write all over Facebook. Extremely unprofessional. My partner has now lost business because of this. I would not be staying here again. I have never experienced such unprofessional behaviour from a hotel in all the years I have travelled

Set in a rural village in Cheshire, in a beautiful setting. This really has been a lovely experience for us. Accommodation is beautiful. I explained I was allergic to their feather down bedding so they changed it over without any problem. We had a wonderful meal in the restaurant as well. Staff were extremely friendly and attentive to all of our needs. Very knowledgeable and great communication. Very reasonably priced for excellent quality in all areas. Thank you for making us feel very welcome.

My daughter and I stayed here as we attended Bolesworth international at the weekend. Very convenient as only a few miles drive The things that stood out for us was : •the absolutely incredible food (honestly did not expect this level of cuisine here) the dishes were inventive , the flavours to die for and the portions were huge ! Do not lose this chef guys ! •2 members of staff stood out , Mille and a lovely foreign lady with long dark hair - 2 genuinely sweet people who could not do enough to make our stay exceptional, they are a real credit to you. •the views from the room and the room itself was spotless , very nice interior design you can tell a lot of thought gone into it, shower was so good! Negatives : front of house / reception person a little frosty/snappy. Not genuinely welcoming. Seemed a chore for them. Room very very small. Paid quite a lot for b&b so expected it a little larger Champagne by the glass was not cold as it should be or fizzy as it should be. Paid a lot for it so should be perfect. Conditioner in the rooms please. Room service menu would be lovely ! Which is why only 4 stars not 5. But on the whole a really lovely pleasant stay and we hope to book again next year !

Visited with a group of friends. Quite a challenge to get to the Pheasant down dark narrow roads but the pub itself was excellent. Very warm, beautiful Christmas decorations - good selection of cask ales. Staff very attentive and meal went well - steak pie and fish pie particularly well received. The one down side and it is not just the Pheasant but many other pubs is that cheese and biscuits (my favourite dessert!) is £14!
