It hit all the right notes! The gastro-pub atmosphere was delightful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The chicken and sweet potato dish was particularly delicious. The ambiance was lovely, and the live pianist added a wonderful touch. We will definitely be back soon!

However, we were disappointed to find our meals served cold, with poorly cooked meat and tough vegetables. We chose not to complain at the time to avoid ruining the family gathering. When the bill arrived, we were shocked to see the cost of the "extras" – £6 for a cola and £9.50 for wine. With desserts included, the total came to over £140 for four of us. This would be acceptable if we had experienced fine dining, but for a meal advertised as a £7 Sunday lunch, it felt outrageous. It might have just been an off day for them, but we won’t be returning.

When I mentioned my reservation, they suggested I must have been mistaken. After I showed them my booking confirmation, they finally acknowledged their error and apologized. Unfortunately, I was then left to roam the drizzly streets on a Saturday night at 8 PM, trying to find another place to celebrate my birthday at the last minute. The customer service was truly disappointing.

Cocktails and service were excellent (as always). Eric, Anne and the team were attentive and friendly throughout while we listened to Tony play live piano covers of famous songs, whilst also taking numerous requests from us of our favourites! Well done Expédition, we love visiting you!

You can either relax outside on a warm evening while observing the locals enjoying their weekend, or you can head upstairs to enjoy the entertaining piano player and singer. While the prices are slightly higher than at some other bars, it truly is the only sophisticated spot in south Warrington.
