This is a great venue; small and friendly, beautifully decorated and has a lovely atmosphere. The Panto Snow White with Cannon and Ball was soooooo funny, the whole family laughed all evening. The staff serving at the bar were superb; very efficient and wonderfully helpful, as in fact were all members of staff. Thank you, guys, Very much looking forward to some more entertainment in the near future.

From the outside the sandstone bricks look weathered and dark and make the place seem rather gloomy. Inside it's much brighter, with the subtle colours of the sandstone making it attractive, calming and quite appealing. It's not enormous and there are plenty of plaques and memorials to read. Half an hour

Saturday lunchtime with friends, the restaurant was relatively quite but there was a wedding party in the hotel. The service was excellent and the food just totally perfect. I'm a vegetarian and sometimes struggle to find something to eat but I was totally spoiled for choice. The carpaccio of beetroot with Delemere goats cheese was too delicious to describe. Followed by the quinoa salad with hallumi, which was humongous. In a traditional American way I had to take a doggie bag. Lunch the following day was equally delicious. My non veggie friends were also delighted with their meals.
The Bears Paw is totally delightful in the middle of nowhere in the Cheshire countryside it is well worth a visit ❤️

Two weeks cruising on NB Monarch - brilliant even though the weather wasn't! Once again thank you Andersens' for providing such excellent hire boats that are always in tip top condition and always ready for us on arrival. We travelled up Heartbreak Hill then the Macclesfield Canal to Bugsworth Basin intending to travel down the Marple locks but due to a breach in lock 2 walls this was not possible. Instead we had a nice slow cruise to the Trafford Centre (a touch of retails therapy) then ended up at Castlefield in the middle of Manchester. A first for us was that on arrival at the Barton Swing Bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal was open to let a ship go through. A really different holiday this time very relaxing and Monarch behaved really well! a great two weeks. If you are thinking of taking a boating holiday on the canals look no further than Andersens their boats plus the service you receive from start to finish is second to none = plus of course the bottle of wine and bunch of roses (yellow of course!) that greet you on board always bring a smile. Once again many thanks - see you next May.

This is a lovely park for wedding photographs and we found that there were plenty of different places to go within the park to get photos with different scenery. The flowers were all in bloom and the colours looked beautiful. The sun was shining which helped the park look at its best.
The front gates were opened as promised and everything went great, although we did have to walk a fair way, which in a full dress with train, was not easy. My little helper (Alfie) was amazing and lifted it up so I didn't get anything on it from the swans and ducks.
We will definitely be visiting here again.

The Crewe Heritage Centre, built to commemorate 150 years of the town of Crewe, was opened in 1987 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Based in a truly unique location, right in the heart of the Grand Junction Railway. Our site is connected to the mainline railway network with the result that we have frequent visiting main line steam and Diesel locomotives present on site in addition to our own collection of rolling stock. We also have three spectacular Miniature Railway's, offering 3.5", 5" and 7.25" gauges. We offer the facility of hiring the site out and have worked with rail industry and non-rail industry partners in the past. If you are interested in hiring the Site or the Exhibition Hall, please Contact Us.

I attended for the 70 years of British Rail Event. There was so much to see: working signal boxes, the Advanced Passenger Train, diesel driver simulator, miniature railway - I spent much more time there than expected. But all the locomotives had clutter in front of them such as parked cars, picnic tables. Also the standard gauge diesel wasn’t working. There was no guidebook or leaflet helping you make your way around the site. It was good but with a little thought could be a lot better.

We visit regularly as it’s local to us and we like the range of veg they have. However. On two occasions now we have witnessed the owner and her son bad mouth staff in front of their customers!
Not professional and not what we want to hear. It really is very unprofessional of you both. There’s a time and place to discuss staff and it’s not across the courtyard infront of people who are purchasing things from you and keeping your business going.

Micro brewery with on site brewery tap and kitchen. Great range of own and guest beers to drink in or takeaway along with an mix of artisanal gins, a range of ciders and full wine list. Snack on cheese fondues and cheeseboards with freshly baked bread. The first Friday of the month sees an open day and night (12:00 to 10:00 PM) with live music and a larger selection of beers.

This is a real ale destination, not a pub that has great fittings and furnishings. But who needs these, when you have a friendly owner, pleasant clientele who are happy to chat to you and great beer. Support the small business, not big boys, I...MoreMany thanks, it's not the most glamorous but it has a heart and soul that's got great beer at it's core! Hope to see you again soon.
