"We visited St Martha’s for the first time on a Tuesday evening with our baby and wow, what a fantastic place to have on our doorstep. After recently moving to Nantwich this is the first place we’ve tried as we’d heard so many good things. The restaurant is small but has a lovely atmosphere. Almost feels like your on holiday in Greece. The lady serving us was brilliant. Not like a big restaurant where they want to get you out as quickly as possible. She made sure everything was right for us and accommodated our baby too. The food was incredible. Simple but so tasty and just the right size. We even took some home. We will definitely return. In fact I’m looking to book our next trip already. Thank you so much. Nantwich has a real gem here!"

"Booked as a Mothers Day celebration because there were no bookings available at the weekend. Had told my Mother that it was excellent, my favourite restaurant, the best place for miles for fillet steak etc etc. She was really looking forward to it. However, the...meal arrived on a cool plate, the chips were lukewarm, as was the steak and the onion loaf was cold. It was 6pm and the place was practically deserted with only 2 other people awaiting their meal. We sent both meals back and they returned at exactly the same temperature, except that the chips were now hot. We complained to the waitress and her reply was that she had seen the chips come out of the fryer. The two ladies at the next table also complained that their meal was not hot and they were given fresh chips. We then left as we felt that we were not going to receive a hot meal. We had both ordered fillet steak at a considerable but acceptable cost for a good quality meal, but not for food that was not hot. I have eaten there regularly since it opened but shall not do so again."

"Our experience at this restaurant was absolutely wonderful! The service and food quality are outstanding, especially for a place that describes itself as a coffee shop. We visited with our grandchildren and they were welcomed just as warmly as we were. They went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten-free granddaughter's preferences, making changes to the menu to suit her tastes. The pizzas were amazing, my pea pesto pasta was delicious, and the homemade ice cream was divine. Both the kids and grandparents were very happy. We will definitely be returning - it's truly a delight to receive fantastic service with a smile and enjoy great food all in one place."

"Today, we had a delicious and reasonably priced Sunday Lunch at the Wickstead Arms lounge. The service was exceptional and we felt very welcomed. The pub had a cozy and traditional decor, with a mix of regulars and new faces, including families with babies. Despite not having a reservation, we were able to find a table easily. They even offered a gluten-free Sunday Roast option. The place was clean and well-maintained, including the toilets (although there was no official baby changing station, there was a mat provided and the floor was clean)."

"I last reviewed the Red Cow restaurant at the beginning of 2022, when I also gave it an ‘average’ rating – and recently returned for the first time since then. I ordered the ‘Red Cow Burger’, on the menu for £18 and offered with ‘red onion jam, crispy streaky bacon, Emmental cheese, brioche and fries’. The patty tasted less like beef and more like liver – which was a surprise, although the menu description didn’t actually specify the ingredients; so I assumed that it would be beef. I then asked the server which meat was used in the patty, and they replied: “I think it’s beef”. I then told them that it tasted very much like liver to me, so they checked with the chef. After a few minutes, they returned, explaining that the chef was very sorry, but the mince is supplied by a butcher, who ‘sometimes’ adds liver to the mix. This seemed a bit vague. To my chagrin I continued to eat the burger, but wasn’t enjoying it, so gave up after I’d consumed over half of it. I was wondering what other mystery meats the butcher might have thrown-in to ‘enhance’ the flavour and binding properties of the mince (and possibly reduce the cost per weight)? What do you do in this situation? You’re hungry; other people in your party are enjoying their meal, and the menu didn’t specify that the patty included offal – so I felt that I couldn’t send it back and get something else (not that this option was offered by the apologetic server). Before my far from empty plate was cleared, I informed the person who originally took my order that I hadn’t enjoyed what I had eaten of the burger, due to it tasting like liver, and to please let the chef know. They returned, and repeated that the chef was very sorry, but that the mince is supplied by a butcher, who sometimes adds liver to the mix. I thought that at this stage they might offer a dessert, coffee or drink on the house – but they didn’t. The fries were good and the seeded brioche bun was decent, the latter being neither over-soft or too sweet. The servers were courteous, but in my opinion could be better trained in the ingredients of the menu and in customer service. £18 for a beef and liver (and who knows what else) burger and fries is a lot. I didn’t enjoy the experience. The Red Cow should have done better, and it’ll be more than a couple of years before I return there to eat."
