Dropped into the The Olde Barbridge Inn as I haven’t been here for some time. Waiters, barstaff and waitresses are brilliant, extremely sociable, service of excellence. Big thankyou to Jamie the executive chef we had a great lunch. Steak and ale pie hits all the right notes rich gravy melt in your mouth beef I would definitely recommend this British favourite.
Setting of the Banbridge is perfect to watch the narrow boats Cruising past. Also there’s a lovely beer garden leading down to the carpark. We would recommend you to try the 2 course meal £17.50 per person that is currently running Monday to Thursday as this would be excellent value for money. Thanks to all the staff that made our visit so memorable.

Excellent Food, Drink, Setting & Atmosphere – the staff are extremely tentative and manage the service delivery wonderfully. Thank you very much and we’ll be sure to return. A must for those in Nantwich and Tarporley 👍🏻

Came here today with an elderly friend. We’re staying in a nearby hotel for a family wedding. Been a little underwhelmed by the welcome. The Olde Barbridge Inn made our trip seem worthwhile. Pleasant, friendly, smiling staff. Delicious food. And the sight of a disgruntled woman pulling her husband along on a barge. (Not the one in the photo. Sorry for laughing…)
Wonderful. Recommend completely. Thank you for restoring our faith in the hospitality industry. 🙂❤️
