Just a lunch so cannot comment on hotel facilities. Surprisingly rural location so near to Manchester. Good gastro pub lunch menu , well presented and tasty. Friendly efficient service.

Had Sunday lunch here today for 1st time & we will definitely be back. Our waitress Clare, Table 9, was so attentive checking if we wanted extra veg, potatoes or gravy. Large portion sizes & lovely food. We had the roast turkey & beef. Lovely

5/5 12th November 2025 Wandering Wednesday was back on this week! It took us to a place that we haven’t been too in around 30yrs or more! ‘The Black Swan’ at Rixton, a couple of minutes drive to the outskirts of Warrington…. It has a massive beer garden with climbing frame and an old ‘tractor’ to play on….. This establishment has recently been renovated to a very high standard…. Country olde Worlde inside and spotlessly clean. The staff, Nicole & Alfie were very friendly, polite, attentive and totally professional, a special thank you to you both…xx plus a massive thank you to the Chefs in the background for their amazing food….xx We went straight to entrée’s: Neil had Pan-Fried Sea Bass Served on a bed of crushed new potatoes, with seasonal greens, drizzled with lemon butter, with a side of cheesy garlic flatbread. I had Battered Haddock Served with chunky chips, mushy peas and homemade tartare sauce, with a side of bread and butter. We shared a side of onion ring, they were probably the best we’d had in all our Wandering Wednesday’s! We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and without a doubt, be returning to this beautiful eatery….100%

Ordered steak and ale pie, for £16.95 it was the worst pie I have ever had about 1/2 inch thick I counted 3 pieces of steak. Crust however was about 1 1\2 inches thick hard and dry. Chunky chips and mushy peas pretty tasteless. In conclusion dry tasteless and not worth the money. Fish and chips and even the famous kebab where nothing special. Very disappointed. Staff where great.

Pros: Friendly staff Good outside area Decent food Cons: Hard to get served, long waits for drinks Gets exceptionally busy in nice weather It’s a decent spot, plenty of parking and outdoor space. Good play equipment for the kids and there’s plenty of outdoor tables. During the summer, if the sun is out you’ll struggle to park even though there’s a lot of space. But there’s on road parking too. The biggest issue for me is the bar. There’s always a load of people stood talking and drinking, leaning on the bar. It makes getting served near impossible at times and I’ve had to wait up to 20 minutes to get drinks for my group at times due to a lack of bar space. It also means the staff can’t see who’s next. The food is decent, with a good range of options. The indoor area for food is also well spaced and comfortable. To summarise, if you’re happy with busy and a bit of a wait then this place is great. If not, you may be better looking at other options. Table service apps or simply not having people block the bar would turn this place in to a 5* location.
