The Pheasant Inn

Rude arrogant entitled staff, over charged for our stay and spoken down to when we complained. I will never return to the pheasant inn. It's such a shame as myself and my family have been visiting for over 20 years. The staff and management need to be trained or retrained in customer service, also our room had mold in the bathroom on the ceiling, not a pleasant experience. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Perhaps the best view of Cheshire you'll get from any restaurant.

Yesterday I was treated to lunch with Neil C. And his nan and we decided to head up to The Pheasant as they are renowned for excellent food.

I wasn't disappointed. I ordered steamed mussels in a white wine sauce and they were outstanding. Served in THE biggest pot I have ever seen for a starter, they were juicy and the sauce was incredible. For a very modest £6 this was the best mussels I've had.

For my main course I tried the Lemon Sole. It too was an excellent dish.

I was incredibly happy with the meal and the restaurant itself is spacious but still has its old traditional pub feel with exposed beams and brickwork. It's cute and the service is also excellent.

I'll definitely be returning here I'm sure, even if it's just for the views!

The Pheasant is a beautiful pub in a wonderful location with super sunset views from the garden :-)

The baked fillet of hake with oysters was divine and the warm cherry bakewell tart and sticky toffee pudding were both scrumptious - we would return in a heartbeat!

Definitely a recommend.

Much as I enjoy being in far distant lands, eating and drinking the stuff of travel programs, my heart and mind is always reminding me of places I call home and The Pheasant Inn encapsulates all that that entails. It is the Yin to my travelling Yang.

Set into the rolling Cheshire hills in Englands green and pleasant land, is this real slice of coaching Inn in the villlage of Higher Burwardsley* Also close by are Peckforton & Beeston castles should you want to go rampant on the ramparts.

With its Sandstone structure, open fires, Oak flooring and leafy beer garden with spectacular views over the Cheshire plain, the Pheasant is a true gem. They even have cobblestones out front and quite often people will roll up here on Horseback and tie the bridle reins to the wall.

An Inn (Yes!! they also provide accommodation, see pix) for all seasons. They cater to all tastes and events and my family has used here for every occasion in the book and have yet to find fault but, it is not just a family place, No!! The way it is set out means that you can come here as a large group and pile in to the huge glass conservatory or arrive as a couple and get a table for two in one of the quiet nooks and crannies alongside a fireplace or just come alone and stand alongside the bar and chat with the regulars and meet their Labrador who will be lying at their feet. I have brought my Lab' "Dex" here multiple times, he likes to share a pint of Stout with me.

The Pheasant always stocks four real ales (recognised for their well kept quality by CAMRA) plus a choice of mainstream beers and the wine list is always on point. They hold the AA Rossette & feature in the Michelin Good Pub and Egon RonayGuides. Important to me is that they use local produce in their kitchens and the menu is changed daily so look to the specials board at the bar. Even when it is not on the menu, just ask and they will rustle up a plate of thick locally cured Ham with a couple of poached eggs from the farm supported by thick crispy chips (fluffy on the inside) and garden peas.

On Sundays I like to go here, fill my tank and then head off with Dex along The Sandstone Trail** or head down the hill to The Ice Cream Farm***. Dex, in tru Chocolate Labrador stylee always hits up the Choc chip.

*Just as 'Worcesershire Sauce' is pronounced 'Wooster' in England so 'Burwardsley' is pronounced locally in Cheshire as 'Bosley'. Should you have difficult finding the Pheasant Inn then ask for 'The Pheasant @ Bosley'

This pub has wonderful ambiance,
amazing views and excellent food. They have sandwiches, meat boards, appetizers and entrees. I had the sea bass with fennel, olives and sundries tomatoes with a delicious sauce. Companions had sea trout and a baked meat pie. I was very impressed. You won't be disappointed. It wasn't cheap but was with it. Service was superb.

Absolutely gorgeous little pub, very homely with log fires and fantastic food. If you love quaint traditional pubs that serve quality food, this is the place for you.
