The Travellers Rest - Warrington

I was brought to birthday dinner by two dear friends. the reception was warm and the atmosphere friendly. the Sunday menu was good with a selection. the prawn starter was beautiful and a good size. we all went to Sunday roast lunch and it was fabulous with a series of nice cooked, melt in their mouth meat, perfectly cooked roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding and a perfect amount gravy. it was served hot. I followed with a very nice cream brûlée. all three courses are selected at the beginning and from there the service is clicked without being brushed. I would definitely go back and I know that my hostess will go regularly. I can see why.

Early evening meal for a Christmas dinner “forget together”. everything about eating ingredients, cooking and service was excellent. the staff was very attentive at any time. Chef and management especially as they have changed one of the firm starters to my wife (incapable of eating each of the originals offered due to the current medical treatment). would recommend this device!

Two friends and I have been with the travellers rest for many years, but that was the first time since the pandemic. I think it's a new thing. we have ordered a bottle of red wine (primitivo) that we. before and is excellent. I ordered crabs/prawn cocktail, which was in order, but the fried king of my friend prawns in a chili and garlic cream sauce looked great and he said it was and I will try it when we go. the other starter was wild mushrooms that my other friend said was very spicy but very filling for a starter course. all three had Sirloin steaks, which were cooked with medium seldom on request. we agreed that they did not compare quality with the ripening eyes that were on the menu two or three years ago. They were okay, but a bit cheesy. Maybe there was a change of the metzger (I had two pots of ice to finish and a friend had the cheesecake, then coffee and in my case a martell cognac to finish the meal. a care was that I noticed during the booking that after two hours there was a request to leave the table, this concerned me as we usually book a table for 6.45 clock and leave at 9.30 clock. because the bill was £170 and it was a Thursday, I think that part of the amendment should be made. I spoke to a waiter who explained the Covid problems and that many people who book chose days and days off and they needed the two-stage agreement to satisfy the number of bookings in these difficult times. I understand, and there was no question to hurry, but perhaps we will be normal again now, to limit these terms to their most busy times. the service was first-class and friendly and we made the feeling that we had a good meal at a not inappropriate price. they will resume their usual 5 stars when the choices, or cut meat. improvement before we go back, which will be soon. I hope the management takes the points I have made helpful.

The pub made only eating in the restaurant not the bar. this is not mentioned on the website. so we could not eat outside in the sunshine and as we had the dog with us, we could not go in the restaurant. the website. is not mentioned if they can not eat in the bar. we have eat many paints in the pub and it is always great, but if they do not want to eat in the bar and the beer garden then make it clear, and customers can choose to go elsewhere.

We were a party of 3. order them gammon, fish and chips and a Linguini court. the gammon and fish was nice, but my linguini, although tasty was a very small part. Not sure that my 8-year-old enkel had been full after eating....When 2 workers were disappointed about the portion size and both said I'm sorry and went away. Why ask if everything is in order, then they just go away when they throw up a problem. have not been going back
