So who are we?

We are proud to announce that our first visit from the EHO is a fabulous 5 out of 5 or Very Good. WE have brought our combined expertise to the small kitchen providing safe food for all.

We really are enjoying the World Cup at The Jockey. It's been busy without being uncomfortable. We haven't seen a yob yet? Bring it on. People are really loving the Fan Zone' and watching in the sun!

All in aid of Teenage Support in Cheshire. There will be cake.. ...coffee and tea ...maybe even a drink or two (updated photo)

Hey Guys. Sorry about the rant but I can't help it. We are very happy with the parents who bring their kids to The Horse and Jockey. It's a great place to socialise with others away from your home. We want you to be comfortable, so much so we have tried to make your stay that bit better with toys, books, games and coloring all readily available. We are not at all bothered about the few chips that drop on the floor, the spilled drink or the fall out with sibling over a shared ipad. We love it, just part of the daily tapestry of life. However there are a few that who just let their kids run riot. Oblivious to the chaos that is unfolding. Teenagers damaging things because they are bored, unattended toddlers wailing upsetting other tables and all the while the parent or parents merrily ordering another drink. Some have been offended because we have said something, politely but firmly.

It was with trepidation that we hosted our 1st Bank Holiday Hog Roast. We were worried that it wouldn't be a success. We were confident in the team at Bit'er Sweet Hog as we have worked with Gary and Dee for many years. True professionals. We were confident in the pork supplied by our friends at The Cheshire Butcher as I have work with them for nearly a decade. We were sure the weather would be good. We had the team about us to serve the drinks no matter how busy it got. It was whether or not you the public would come. Have we done enough over the past few months for you to trust in such an event. Well yes and no. We had enough that we broke even and created enough of a buzz that we are confident to do it again. We have learned that 12pm on a Sunday isn't great for Cheshire so it'll be 3pm next time.

Well we've gone it! We have signed a 5 year lease with Punch Taverns, so you are now stuck with us. We can start the hard work in building this beautiful little pub back into a thriving hub of the community. Will you help us? Tell people about the hard work already done. Invite a friend or friends for a coffee or harder drink. Bring the family in for a meal. See you in the pub

We are excited to announce that the locally renowned chef, Ernst Van Zyl will holding Tasting Sessions every Saturday In June. Please check social media for more details

This is good thing... Honest! Once we have the family altogether then we'll have great food available daily as against just on a Sunday. Paula is a great operator in her own right and when she joins forces with Paul then they become unstoppable. SO its all good!

Lots to do! Spring cleaning the alfresco area ready for the Bank Hoiday later in the month
