Over 40,000 votes were cast by customers visiting venues throughout the region, after which the shortlisted were mystery dined and shopped by experts from the hospitality industry.

Taste Cheshire shared that the judges of the Best Pub category commented, “it had been incredibly tight judging but on the night in question everything was right at The Pheasant, the service, the food and the setting just couldn’t be beaten” before awarding The Pheasant Inn the gold.

Family Friendly Venue judges’ comments regarding The Fishpool Inn included “not only do they make accommodation for children with menus, inside and outside play activities but the staff engage and they even have bookable tables for those who want to bring their family dogs with them.”
