Friends gathering in Warrington

“This hotel is extraordinary. We - two pals - popped in because it was a handy meeting place for a journey further North. I parked in the hotel car park through Just Park but by the time I'd navigated the M6 I was quite delayed. My friend went into the hotel while she was waiting and met with what can only be described as the warmest of welcomes. The atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door tells you that this hotel team cares about its guests and its visitors. They are kind, courteous and go out of their way to help.”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Ferry Link! They are fantastic! My son attended breakfast and link club when I went back working full time and he loved it. Ann Marie and the team are great!”

“Had an awesome meal with a mate. Between courses they'd come out with little tasters and you can have a choice of breasts both gratis as part of the experience. Cost more than plenty of restaurants, but not ridiculous either considering it was all very nice. A few reviews mention weirdness with the staff (probably gone now), we had nothing like that. My images show the haddock starter with sweet chilli and ginger, and my dessert. Sorry forgot the pic of my main course, the steak and peppercorn Just note that if you are funny about trying new things with this as a French restaurant, the menu descriptions were in English, and while there's plenty of fancy things, you can still have twists on very English choices. Cost £38 for 2 courses on the Xmas menu, then paid more for desert and drinks”

“A wonderful meal. Excellent choice and value for money. The staff are extremely welcoming . We will definitely be returning.”

“What a great traditional pub, we went on poetry night in aid of parkinsons finished off with live music, great choice of beers and very friendly atmosphere, brilliant night”

“Really helpful and friendly staff. Answered all questions asked and gave great advice on our needs for our first puppy”

“First time coming and the food and service was amazing. They couldn't do enough for us. The lamb was tender. Will Def be back.”

“Nice and poss clean will decorated I got a pint of cider and pint of larger with lime was£9.50”

“Amazing food lovely place and amazing steak wow the date night which is on a Thursday good vale for the money 3 course meal for £30pp.”

“The goats cheese and King prawn linguine was delicious, on the pre fix menu that is served until 5.30pm. Would recommended pre-booking and asking to sit inside as there was a slight draft in the front seating area. The staff were excellent all evening and couldn't have been better!”

“Had a large party and organising with the staff was very very easy. Food was beautiful and very generous portions. A special shout out to Sophie I believe her name was (pink hair) who made sure we were all fed. Watered and looked after this evening. Thank you for a fabulous night. See you next month!!!”

“Great warm welcoming atmosphere, the beer is in tip top form, Chris has really made a effort to deliver- by far the best tasting original bitter I've had had in here! Great work!”

“Our favourite soft play area children love it! We have the annual pass , great throughout the week! Weekends get crazy and we don’t tend to go during those days but that’s expected due all the kids are off school”

“Been using this cafe for years. Always great food and service. Yes at times it's busy but sign of a great cafe. Very friendly staff.”

“Excellent food, large portions and speedy delivery. Will most definitely order from here again.”

“Went to the Olive Tree in Stockton Heath for the first time at the weekend to try their Sunday roast. There was a great atmosphere and the service and food was excellent. Drinks were a bit pricey but nonetheless we felt we got good value for money. I’d certainly recommend a visit.”

“Came here on Sunday and got the "two for £20" deal on Sunday roast, amazed at the great quality and value for money. We were seated in one of the booths which was really comfy and we had plenty of room for 4 of us, there is perspex screens in-between all the seating making us all feel safe. Staff were really friendly and everything was a smooth operation. Can't wait to come back and have another roast.”

“Went for lunch with a friend. Food and service was great. Friendly and helpful staff. Large outdoor area and dog friendly. Love this pub. I've actually been going to the plough since 1976 and it's always been a lovely place. I'd recommend it any day of the week.”

“Excellent facilities, good swimming pool and gym facilities. Lots of classes to choose from.”

“Lovely food, great service... but it was cold. Of course it was freezing outside, but I wish the heating had been turned up inside. But we'll definitely be back .”

“The salt and pepper chips from here are the best in Warrington. I haven't had their fish and chips yet but all their Oriental food is really nice and very consistent quality. I've never had a bad meal from here.”

“I have been staying here regularly for work commitments. I cannot fault the place. The management and their team are brilliant. Always making a good atmosphere and making you feel at home. Great selection of food and drinks. The accommodation prices are also hard to beat. Well done to the team at The Black Swan.”

“Amazing night. Celebrating my friends birthday. Her daughter was a massive hit on the Karaoki, and her son was too. The owners Steve and Neil were FAB! So welcoming and entertaining. First time there but we will be back for sure. The food was fantastic too. Top marks to chef.”

“Had a great meal at the Waterside tonight celebrating a 21st birthday. The pub was busy, had a great atmosphere and the food was great and very well presented, but what stood out was the fantastic service from the whole team serving us, with Vicky in particular doing a great job of not only looking after the whole table, but also paying attention to the youngest member of the group.”

“Only a quick visit but seems nice. Large outdoor beer garden with views of barges going by. Outdoor heaters and tv. Didn't eat but looks like good menu including kids menu and food smells nice.”

“Fantastic place with a great area for under 1s, all flat with many safe things to pull themselves up on, even a little spongey slide and stairs. Even a little ball pit but I felt like I could let my baby play and not be worried she would hurt herself. Also under 1s go in free! The area for the toddlers is also great, many things to choose from, slides and ropes to swing on, a "music room" with disco lights and music, my little one loves it! The food is also always very tasty.”
