"I have driven past this establishment a number of times and seen that it stocks a decent variety of whisky and is much closer to home than other whisky shops. I finally decided to pop in the other day and see how the shop's selection fared compared to my usual whisky merchants in Knutsford and Chester (both excellent with brilliant customer service . I saw a product I was interested in purchasing, however, when I asked what the price wad (there was no label and no shelf price the owner informed me that there was no set price and may be over £100 it would depend! He also asked me if I was purchasing the whisky to collect or drink (with much respect, I feel this is none of his business, although I will say I purchase whisky to drink and enjoy... . The owner seemed uninterested in making a sale and after giving these blunt remarks he wandered off to the back of the shop never to be seen again. This experience left me very perplexed and disappointed. I understand whisky prices can fluctuate due to supply/demand etc. but I would suggest it is the owner's responsibility to be aware of such price fluctuations and price his stock accordingly and competitively. In my previous experiences in similar establishments good customer service is one of the key drivers of sales a positive, friendly and knowledgeable whisky merchant who gives sage advice and doesn't come across as wanting to rip the customer off will always be more successful and this was sorely lacking on this occasion. On this experience, all I can say is I won't be visiting this store again in future and will stick with the far better service in other stores. This review does not include the deli/restaurant perhaps the owner may be providing a better experience to customers in this part of the business but I can only comment on my experience."

"Visited DV8 for lunch on a busy Thursday, while staying with family in Sandbach. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect going in from the name I wasn't sure if it was a pub or a cafe or something else. But the service was excellent from the moment we walked through the door, and the food was excellent. My grilled chicken sandwich was excellent value, and my son's kid's meal was tasty and filling. Overall I'd definitely come back. If I was making one criticism, it would be nice to have a wider range of beers on offer. But then maybe cocktails are more their thing?"

"The Old Hall is featured in the CAMRA guide for its excellent real ales. It’s an extraordinary old building full of character. The beer was outstanding, and the service was excellent as well. I enjoyed several pints of the Fountain Price House Beer, which I believe is brewed by St. Austell. It was quite busy on Saturday lunchtime, but we were fortunate enough not to have to wait long for a table. The mains are priced between £15 and £20, but the quality is top-notch. The ambiance is cozy with a fire, and the restrooms are impressively designed. Overall, the staff were fantastic."

"My partner and I had a late valentines treat here after we tried their waffles a few weeks previous. It is a lovely little place with nice decor and the open kitchen with the smell of 00 flour and sourdough baking made me anticipate what was to come. The staff were attentive. Sometimes you can feel rushed but they were quick on their feet, problem solvers and really polite. We shared some pulled pork fries to start which were fantastic. I usually don't go for loaded fries because they are usually soggy but these were crisp with perfectly slow cooked pork to match. Our pizza had a few hurdles getting to us, with the first one catching on the pizza oven and the one being sent out missing a few of our ad ons. They stated they would remake the pizza but we were okay with our pizzsand said they didn't need to remake it. The pizza was absolutely delight. It is light, with complex layer of flavours, a fantastic tomato base and a pizza base that was so good my partner ate the crusts which is something I have never witnessed. The waffles were delicious. The waffles have an incredible rich buttery taste and fab crunch with toppings to match. Simple ,tasty delights to end the meal. When it came time to settle we got a lovely surprise with a free pizza to take home to make up for the issues they had with our pizza. Really sweet and not needed at all for our return business. The table next to us had these amazing looking burgers which we will try next time. Finally, the lindors at the end were a welcome treat as someonenever likes the mints or sweets at the end to be able to have one finally joyful bit"
