We are a group of pub restaurants founded in the North West of England and North Wales, however, through popular demand and with the assistance of an A to Z we have now ventured further afield and have a substantial branch of the family in the South.

Each pub has its own style and flavour, though you'll find good cask beers, freshly cooked food, decent and affordable wine and a good shelf of malt whiskies throughout. We like to think we run informal places for people who like to meet, eat, drink and talk in a relaxed friendly atmosphere.

Award winning pub group

We are very proud to have been winners of The Good Pub Guide: Pub Group of the Year no less than four times, we have been 'Highly commended' in the category of 'best food' at the 2017 Publican Awards and were recent Finalists in the Casual Dining Awards: Employer of the Year, which we didn't actually win (but in our minds, we should have!).

Our pubs have won a multitude of great awards and are listed in trusted guides - to name but a few: The Good Pub Guide: County Dining Pub of the Year on 27 occasions. Listings in the Michelin Guide to pubs; AA Pub Guide; Alastair Sawday and Harden's.
