Congleton now has 3 – 4 really great bars, this is the original. Amazing cocktails that change with the season, a lovely outside area with heaters and giant parasols. Fancy enough to make an effort on an evening but not pretentious. The food is really good as well, last time we had a mixed platter, which was really well thought out and delicious. wouldn’t be my first choice for a beer with the lads, but if we’re with couples, it’s the first stop every time!
