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…
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…
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…
Rowton Hall Hotel, Cheshire
Rowton Hall is a historic stately home in Cheshire, the oldest part of the building being from 1779. Now a hotel, we visited for a one night stay with the dogs to enjoy the food, the accommodation and for my husband at least, the spa. We stayed in an apartment, which was outfitted beautifully with…
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…
The Blue Bicycle, Neston
My sister took me here this past weekend for brunch. This small, family run coffee shop is one of her standard haunts, yet I’d never been before. Located on the Main Street, with a handy free car park over the road, we sat in the rear of the cafe in their covered courtyard. We arrived…
Claremont Farm, Bebington
This farm, located on Old Clatterbridge Road in Bebington has an amazing farm shop as well as a cafe. I used to visit here with my nan and so it was lovely to finally get back there again. Hot food is available in the cafe 9am-3pm and you are able sit inside, outside or on…
The Rake and Pikel, Huntington
Located not far from Chester, we drove past this country pub and recognising the name from another food blog I immediately decided we needed to make a reservation for in a few weeks time. Having undergone a refurbishment and boasting a large outdoor area as well as being dog friendly, I was really looking forward…
The Hinderton Arms, Neston
For this Sunday meal out we chose a place with no football on so it’d be a little quieter. Luckily the sun was out too so all the dogs came along and all seven of us got to sit outside. Now the Hinderton has always been in an odd location, next to a petrol station…
