Our first visit and won't be the last! Thank you to Hannah and the rest of the staff for the warm welcome, service, and the food. We had the best Sunday Roast. The plates were generous, with good variety of everything, and had different textures and flavours. Not overly salty too. We were VERY full. Went to walk it off at Dunham Massey garden. We'll visit again soon. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

27th August 2025 ‘Wandering Wednesday’ this week took Neil and I to a place we haven’t been before.. On the advice of good friends of ours, Jacent & Tina Rabbitt, we headed off towards Dunham Massey to a pub called ‘The Axe & Cleaver’ they were definitely true to their word as the place was an old Country pub with outstanding quality cuisines.. the pub itself is pristine and tastefully decorated. The staff were very attentive from start to finish, many thanks to Denise, Neil and Lace you were all professional, polite and all given with a great service. Waiting time on the food was just cooking time but we would have waited much longer on the food that was received Presentation was perfect, all the food was homemade and was piping hot..the menu was varied, there was also a specials board, it was very hard to choose what we wanted as all the dishes on the menu shouted out.’eat me! No eat me!!! Neil ended up choosing from the specials board of homemade Chicken, cheese and leek pie with roasted asparagus, chunky chips and rich glossy gravy. Neil looked on the website and had chosen Toad in the hole with bubble and squeak mash then changed his mind in the last second. I was wanting the mixed grill from the website but ended up with good ole fish and chips, tartare sauce all homemade, mushy peas along with scampi, bloomer bread & butter and a side of onion rings to share..you couldn’t find fault in anything, the food was totally delicious and fresh. We’ve decided we will have to return for our website choices another day!!! not that we need an excuse!!!. So! Yes, we will return to this fabulous establishment in the very near future. Definitely not one to be missed folks. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
