Tastefully-furnished Vintage Inn with usual emphasis on food trade, but welcoming to drinkers also. Several good ales on offer - Cask Marque listed.

A nice country pub not far from where and close to there. A Vintage Inns place. Very comfortable interior with an L-shaped bar. 3 real ales of which one was off, one was foul and one was ok. £3.40 + for a pint. Beer garden out front. No pond outside anymore.

not far from Chester on the English Welsh border, lovely food and beer and not to hard on the pocket.
