"As a group we 've drank here for over a decade without there ever being an issue until last night (we 're all 45+ . The landlord appeared at closing time and started shouting the odds at us and became aggressive towards us as we left. I don 't think he like cyclists it 's not wise to pretend to phone the police about your clientele as they are leaving peacefully claiming that they are too drunk to stand and threatening the staff, especially when you have CCTV. Demanding that we leave immediately then threaten to lock us in the courtyard if we didn 't was somewhat counterproductive. The lion always had 3 top notch guest ales on until recently, now they usually have one half decent guest, and one dire one along with the trio of Weetwood house ales. I 've never eaten here, only consumed the beer, so I won 't comment on the food, but with an attitude like that it 's probably better that the landlord who is also the head chef stays in the kitchen for his and others safety. Whilst the pub is charming and beers can be good (they are certainly well kept the landlords attitude certainly marrs the experience. Edit. I feel I need to add more to this. When we left, I had a laugh and joke with the young barmaid about me falling down the stairs several months earlier, her response was, oh, so, you 're stair man! With that in mind, I really can 't imagine that she was scared of us at all.. I 'm not going to deny that I told him I 'd C U Next Tuesday as locking our bikes in was an unwarranted and unnecessary threat. At 1135 two of us nipped to the gents as we were leaving, nobody asked us to leave up to this point and the landlord charged into the gents and hurled a tirade of abuse at us, he then stormed outside and threatened to lock our bikes in (he told the police that he offered to keep them safe! , we left and then, he charged out of the open front door (after I spoke to the barmaid at the open front door stating that the landlord is a bit lively issuing threats to myself whilst allegedly on the phone to the police. If the pub was as closed as he said, why were people still leaving via the front door? The police reviewed the footage and sided with us. Just so you know folks, the landlord here banned the entire Nantwich Cycle Group from this pub too, why? Because he doesn 't like cyclists. Ladies and gentlemen, vote with your wallets, there are plenty of pubs in this town that are welcoming, sadly, the landlord of this one is not. In the 48 years I 've been alive, I 've never been treated like this in any establishment. Vote with you wallets people and Pick a welcoming establishment, I 've posted this publicly with my profile, so, I have nothing to hide. The landlord is hiding behind his business. I wish him the best...."

Good local pub within an old building full of character. They have a pretty reasonable selection of drinks and the staff are friendly. No dedicated parking is available however, there is a local Pay-and-Display carpark opposite.

"Having successfully deposited our eldest in her new Uni digs and having enjoyed an evenings kip in an adjoining Manchester hotel we were in two minds where to breakfast. MrsC’s growing angst over the likely state of our home after allowing our youngest free rein for a garden party proved persuasive so we decided on an early exit an victuals en route. A scan of Happy Cow and Google combined allied to our southbound travel threw up Wild and Wild as a convenient stop off before we rejoined the M6. Pleased to see that it opened at 10;00am on a Sunday whilst registering our likely arrival at 10:15 we added the required SatNav waypoint and trained our behemoth on its new path. There was convenient free parking on the Sunday and we ambled on the pedestrianised section to Wild and Wild; sitting slightly incongruously next to a Costa. The place is light and well laid out and an enticing array of cakes and pastries greets you as you enter. The usual instructive board informed us “to please wait to be seated” which we did. The young lady who appeared to be both front of house, barista and server said she would be with us after serving her present customer; which was fine but, in truth, simply having the menus on the tables and allowing you to sit yourself at empty unreserved tables would seemed to have been the least intrusive and effective means of managing the flow? Anyway we were handed drinks/food menus and then informed that we could, in effect, do exactly that and seat ourselves. The breakfast/brunch menu was concise but convincing and for speed and efficiency MrsC and I settled on two “full English”, vegan of course, and two oat milk lattes. Queued again and gave the order and paid there and then. Though we haven’t been out too much recently the coffee prices seemed about right but the breakfast seemed a tad high. Understanding how inflation is hitting that might just be an impression but if we had stayed in Manchester and returned to the Lounge a similar menu would have been 30% less. Then it started going awry. The wait for the coffee seemed long; the wait for the food almost interminable (around 40-45 mins in truth) Halfway through that wait another server had magicked into operation and it switched from queuing to order to table service. She was professional enough to highlight to new incoming customers that drinks would be about 10 mins/food 30. Something not considered worthy of note to us earlier arrivals. The breakfast was ok. The vegan sausages appeared homemade with rice wrapper “skins” but they were woefully dry and overcooked. The whole vine of oven roasted cherry tomatoes were good as was the star of the show the Smokey “baked beans”. The toast was good quality bread but cut too thin to successfully soak up both beans and the sweet tomatoes. The other components of mixed greens and mushrooms and tofu scramble were under seasoned and a little bland. The potato rosti was a little dense but ok. Sadly the food was underwhelming and more so due to the long wait; ill fitting the vibe and the surroundings especially as the place wasn’t heaving at any time. Always feel awkward knocking eateries in these uncertain times but, in this case, expectations raised by the feel of the place allied to the prices charged, we’re not met by the quality of the food. Perhaps it’s better suited to an afternoon cake and a drink session? Disappointed."

"Wow!!! It has been many years since my last meal at the Brownlow. My late wife Dee and I used to dine here regularly. After her passing, I spent a lot of time working in Sub-Equatorial Africa, providing water to remote areas. Now that I am back in Congleton, some of my neighbors decided to take me out for a birthday lunch, and to my surprise, they chose the Brownlow. I was a bit apprehensive, as the restaurant held so many wonderful memories for me. However, from the moment I walked in, any doubts I had were quickly dispelled. The warm greeting and smile at the reception desk set the tone for the rest of our dining experience. We were promptly seated with menus in hand, and our pre-meal drinks (a perfectly chilled Pinot) arrived with efficiency. The professionalism displayed in serving our meals was commendable and something that is often lacking in other restaurants. The presentation of our dishes was impeccable, and the quality of the food was evident in the clean plates at the end of our meal. I have always believed that people eat with their eyes first, and even those who prioritize presentation would be pleased with the artistry on display here. I will have no problem recommending the Brownlow to my family and friends in the future. The whole team's friendly and welcoming demeanor made for a pleasant dining experience. Special thanks to Simon, the chef, for a job well done - you definitely deserve a raise! I am already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for a memorable meal. Norman A Dean."
