I’ve written about The Forge before, but this time we went on a Sunday. For a Sunday lunch I have read all about. Able to cater to Steve’s food intolerances, we sat down and were guided through the menu by a lovely waitress. She listed what could and couldn’t be adapted and what wouldn’t need…

The Grace Arms, Ellesmere Port
I have known The Grace Arms on Stanney Road for most of my life, but have not visited in nearly two decades. Owned by Greene King Pubs, the location closed in November 2022 for refurbishment. After a six figure investment it then reopened as a Flaming Grill, with a brand new food menu, new decor…
Irby Mill, Wirral
This traditional sandstone pub on the Wirral was our choice for lunch this past Sunday. Cosy and inviting, this place is the site of a former windmill but now serves up inviting pub food and real cask ales. Dog friendly throughout and very willing to accommodate Stevens food intolerances, we were ushered through a very…
The Rake Hall, Little Stanney
We had lunch here as a family between Christmas and New Year and it was absolutely heaving with people. Being close to Cheshire Oaks the traffic was pretty awful too, but once in and seated we enjoyed some nice pub grub. The Rake Hall is a Brunning & Price pub though so we had to…
Tattenhall Marina, Cheshire
Welcome to the hidden gem that is Tattenhall Marina in the heart of the Cheshire Countryside, on the Shropshire Union Canal. There’s so much to do here! Myself and a friend were kindly invited down for the day to see what this lovely spot has to offer. Found tucked away behind the Ice Cream Farm…
Nextdoor, Frodsham
We enjoyed a beautiful anniversary meal at Nextdoor in Frodsham.Set in a 17th century timber framed building, it felt very intimate and dare I say romantic. The setting for this restaurant adjoins the owners home so it literally is ‘Nextdoor’ and once housed the owners great grandfather’s butchers shop. We went for the August tasting…

Upon arrival we were seated in a beautifully furnished room where…
Veeno, Chester
Veeno are Sicilian wine makers who serve not only a great selection of wines, but a great selection of foods too. I’ve walked past this place in Chester loads of times but only finally visited with my sister yesterday. As we were celebrating our birthdays we chose a bottle of Zibibbo white wine to share…
Pars Kahve, Chester
Pars Kahve, or Leopard Coffee, opened late summer 2021 and celebrates Turkish traditions with a modern twist. I visited earlier this year for çai and baklava, and have wanted to return for a full meal ever since. As someone who has spent a lot of time in Turkey, I appreciate the effort the owners have…
Moules A Go-Go, Chester
Located on Cuppin Street, Moules A Go-Go is an independent bar, cafe and bistro that specialises in fresh mussels that come from suppliers in The Menai Straits and the West coast of Scotland. We used to dine here frequently when they were located on the historic Chester Rows but had a bad meal here when…
