Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Clock Tower
New-build pub / restaurant, now owned by Holt's but known as the Chesterway and operated by Fayre & Square when I last visited some ten years ago. Beside (but with no real view of) a small river. Usual anonymous, semi-modern furniture and decor in the various seating / dining areas, and there is some outdoor seating too. All efficiently run, and a couple of the brewery's beers on the two banks of four handpumps - the regular Bitter and Two Hoots. As I said previously, serves its purpose...

A modern stand alone pub located on the edge of a retail park and seemingly intended to be primarily accessed by car. The extensive perimeter is bordered by a hedge with access being via a large car park. The architectural style blends in seamlessly with the surroundings and is reminiscent of a motorway service station.
Once inside the main purpose is clear, there is a carvery, indoor childrens' play zone and the vast majority of tables geared up for dining groups of different number. Some polished boarded flooring, some gaudily striped carpet, slightly raised areas of seating and areas of exposed or painted brickwork. Décor involves a lot of clocks plus some more interesting photos and information concerning the areas former salt mining industry. There is an area at the far end of the bar dedicated to drinkers and with a couple of large screens for sport. Extensive outdoor facilities include another play area all with views of the busy road and roundabout.
Holts have this place now, they had Bitter, IPA and Two Hoots available at the time with no sign of any guest Chorlton beer.
This is really much more of a family dining venue than a proper pub which unfortunately is also nowadays the only open pub within easy walking distance of Northwich Station. At least drinkers are catered for even if shunted into a small area.

Completely revamped by new owners Joseph Holt in a typical food orient(at)ed style but done in a bright and pleasant style.
Three Holt's beers on sale plus one from their Chorlton (Horse & Jockey) offshoot, Bootleg. Improved, but a few pedestrian entrances closed off so you have to walk round a fair way to the car park entrance.
