    We visited on my birthday so it was a special occasion and the Church Green didn't disappoint. Delicious food, and friendly relaxed atmosphere. Would love to visit again in the summer and try the pizzas whilst sat outside in the beautiful garden. We had a starter, Sunday lunch and desserts and truly feel that we had gourmet meals. I had Smoked Oxtail to start, Roast belly pork for main and Lemon Tart for dessert. I didn't get pictures of my husband's starter or main but his dessert was Cherry Bakewell. Definitely recommended by both of us.

    Visited Saturday evening 9 September for a special Birthday Meal on the invitation of friends. We received a warm welcome and was taken to a nice corner table at the top end of the restaurant. Our starter and main courses were all delicious and cooked to perfection. Service was efficient and attentative without being intrusive. Atmosphere and ambience was pleasant and relaxed. We had a very enjoyable evening. The Church Green is to be recommended. Many Thanks.

    Had the best experience at the Church Green. The staff were very extremely friendly and food was delicious. We had a fabulous surf and turf burger. Our waitress, Sarah, was absolutely amazing and it was overall great value for money

    The food is always really delicious. Quality ingredients and interesting flavours. Service is friendly and welcoming. The Surf and turf burger is incredible 🤤and the hot Hawaiian pizza is a game changer. Portion sizes are large…I always leave stuffed. Yes it might be a touch more expensive than other places in Lymm but you really do get what you pay for here.

    Lovely meaty burger... ... but not a lot of taste actually! I have stopped in a few times over the past while and enjoyed my 'dining experience', so i was looking forward to another good meal. Sadly not the best burger I have had. Good previously, so happy to give it another go.

    Been coming here for a few years now, always look forward to go as we always have a lovely meal, menu changes/additions are always great and the service is spot on. The soups are always amazing! We feel this gives great value for money. Child friendly too.

    Tremendously average pub fare, in a mediocre atmosphere (full of old people but with terrible acoustic), and with the slowest and most inattentive service I've experienced in years. As me and my partner stood at the entrance, various waiters refused to acknowledge we were waiting to be seated; nobody else showed up, and a queue built up behind us. Eventually a guy scurried past, shouting "won't be a minute!" - except it was more like 5-10 before he came to confirm our booking and very unceremoniously dropped us at our table. He then instructed us to "ignore the first paragraph" of the menu, i.e. the lunch section - like we couldn't read. We ordered drinks, and one of them ended up being... just a glass of ice, due to a mix-up from a waitress who was clearly on her first day (on a Saturday night, really?); alerted of the error, they finally brought a bottle - which wasn't what we ordered but hey, at least it was something. Waiters would then just disappear constantly for extended periods, which was incredibly irritating as we were trying to order our mains and later pay the bill - we couldn't get ourselves to ask for desserts, as it had taken almost 90 minutes to have a single course. On a Saturday night, with half the restaurant empty, I wouldn't expect this sort of service from the local noodles joint, let alone from a place charging 17 quid for a burger. If it was a technique to get us to order more drinks, it backfired spectacularly. Thankfully "service is not included", so we weren't forced to tip, but we won't be back anytime soon.

    We came along yesterday with our pooches after a stroll round the dam, as per our first date 1.5 years ago! As always we had the BEST time! The staff are brilliant, the atmosphere and comfort, and the food and drink are spot on! A particular shout out to ‘Dave’/ Francesca/ Davecesca for being so welcoming and great with our dogs. And also a huge thank you to the kitchen staff for doing us a special request - a side of Frickles!! The fries were sexy too! We will be back more now my broken leg is so much better the (only reason we haven’t been back regularly!). Many thanks and see you soon, Lou & Luke + Bella, Minnie, Ludo and Gizmo 😊💖

    Lovely pub. Had breakfast of mushrooms on toast. Very generous portion, though it had an unusual taste. Possibly fennel or chicory? Whilst not unpleasant it overwhelmed the mushroom flavour and not sure it's a flavour I want for breakfast. I did polish the lot off though. I love strong coffee but the coffee here was too strong making it bitter. Very friendly and efficient service.

    Nice spot for a few drinks, loads of outdoor seating. We had a wood fired pizza which was really good. Good selection of drinks, well worth a visit.

    Traditional pub turned into a restaurant. Choice limited but different. Food quality and quantity good. Service, poor knowledge of wines but reacted positively to a complaint. Conservatory very warm and airless, very noisy.

    My wife and son went for the fish n chips... verdict ---- Probably the best fish and chips in the UK. Well made crunchy lite batter and fresh fish along with crunch chunky chips and nice sides.... I went for the burger, cooked well seasoned perfectly very tasty. Hit the spot! You pay for quality and get quality Chef level! Russ Love To Frame

    It's a lovely restaurant in a great setting. The food was excellent quality and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I can definitely recommend this place. It's a gem of a restaurant and not far from the M6. So if you're travelling north or south on the M6 it's well worth a stop off. It's 5 to 10 minutes away at Lymm.

    A wonderful time last night for my brother in laws 40th birthday! Martin and Fran were brilliant. Martin looked after our table and his customer service was brilliant! Rare to find someone with such a nice manner with people. Food was awesome and reasonably priced for the quality! Plenty of choice and the desserts were epic! Thanks to everyone!

    Had Sunday dinner here when we were out for a walk. It was lovely, staff were really friendly. It was so good we actually called back for a snack at tea time and shared the ribs from the shack. They were fantastic. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Marius A. 1 year ago on Google
    Seen pretty much a lot of bad reviews on ribeye and fillet steaks here, dont know why, but I do believe peoples who are complaining is expecting to get meal free or they simply dont know what tendering level they prefer, for example a lot of complains about overcooking, so dont choose a well done and it will be not overcooked 😂 However 8oz fillet steak it was great, thats all I would suggest is to not charge customers for sauce extra money, but service and steak as I said it was perfect. Those who never tried and dont know what tendering level would be best for you, try from medium well, enjoy. Probably back again ;)

    Some of the best food I've had in a long time. A group of 5 of us visited for a birthday on a Saturday night but the service was still great despite the place being packed. The soft shell crab burger and artichoke mousse dishes are definitely something to write home about! Didn't get to try the dessert menu as we had cake but will definitely next time.

    We spotted The Church Green a few years ago following a dog walk nearby (the venue is dog friendly BTW). We fancied a drive, so made the 26 mile round trip especially to dine here, and it was worth the effort. There's parking on site, but it can get tight during busy periods, so I'd probably opt for street parking on my next visit. If available, request to be seated in the patio area - a bright and airy covered and heated outdoor space. We ordered The Pie Of The Day (steak & cheese) & Sweetcorn Fritter Burger. The meals arrived in good time, service was great, and the meals themselves looked mouthwatering. As I sliced into my pie I was pleasantly surprised by how densely packed of meat it was - the meatiest pie I've had. Doused in the accompanying gravy was the perfect match. I'm sure that I'd have enjoyed many of the other meals on the menu just as much, but it'll be difficult for me to choose anything else on my next visit as it was that good. Just a heads up - if you plan on ordering the pie I'd skip the starter, especially if you also plan on ordering sides - I'm a big eater, and even I would have struggled to finish my meal if I'd ordered a starter, plus you're going to really want to enjoy it without feeling too stuffed. Trust me. Then again, you could always ask for a doggie-bag to take home for seconds 🤤.

    Perfect place to relax and eat after a walk around Lymm Dam. The soft shell crab burger was delicious and there's a lovely deli attached too!

  • 4/5 Sitaram Gopal C. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff and great food in absolutely wonderful setting. Booked to sit outside. Ample amount of heating available to keep you warm if it gets cold in the evening. Menu has got a good variety of starters and mains. Mains portions are really good value for money and a small recommendation as said on the menu do keep some space for trying out the delicious deserts. Drinks are good quantity and very well done. Would definitely visit again to try more….

👍 We went for a joint family birthday meal. Lovely venue with nice staff and a great outdoor area for the kids when the weather is a little more appealing. It was a very busy afternoon so service was a little slower than expected which I understand with working in hospitality myself. Our server altho...
