The Coppermine Creamery, Ellesmere Port

The long established Coppermine Creamery on Chester Road in Whitby, Ellesmere Port, has been on my list to try for a good while now. Open only until early afternoon though, I often missed the opportunity. But not this time! I purposely got up early to go and enjoy a traditional breakfast here. With no social…

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…

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…

Ateyate, Little Sutton

We have a new Chinese restaurant in Little Sutton, Ellesmere Port and myself and a friend were lucky enough to have a sneak preview of the ‘dine in’ menu last night. Ateyate has opened in what used to be Cafe India, but was previously one of my favourite Chinese restaurants the Tai Ping. So I…

Like Creperie, Eastham

I was kindly invited to this quirky little place in Eastham a few weekends ago. Open for a year, it offers everything from bubble waffles and crepes to wraps and burgers of every type. It was a beautiful day when we went and so the big front doors were wide open and welcoming……. The menu…

The Chimneys, Hooton

So named for its impressive roofline, The Chimneys has been in Hooton on the Wirral for as long as I can remember. It’s also changed hands more times than I can recount. After a devastating flood earlier in the year, nobody knew if it’d survive but it has been lovingly restored and modernised and is…

Haute Dolci, Cheshire Oaks

Another short one today, involving much sugar, ice cream and even some fruit. For health reasons of course 😜 Haute Dolci is a successful dessert brand that serves innovative and decadent sweet treats in a beautiful environment. The Cheshire Oaks store, which is actually on the Coliseum near the cinema, opens at midday everyday and…

Port & Anchor Eatery, Ellesmere Port

This Ellesmere Port business is located in the same building that ‘The Galley’ was in (see earlier blog post), right by the Manchester Ship Canal and with lovely views of the water. Myself and a friend nipped there for lunch yesterday and as the weather was kind, we sat on a bench outside where we…
