Description

Atherton has recently transformed its pub scene, blending modern decor with traditional charm. While some may miss the former character, the refreshed ambiance draws in a diverse crowd. Patrons relish a robust selection of cask ales, delicious food options—including well-executed roasts and daily specials—and a welcoming atmosphere for families and pets alike. With engaging quiz nights and smoked dishes served until midnight, it caters to all tastes. However, some visitors have noted inconsistencies in service, leaving room for improvement. Overall, Atherton remains a vibrant spot worth exploring.

I visited this place with some friends during a pub crawl. It's been a while since I was last here and I remember it being a nice little place, but I was shocked by the new decor. The whole place looks like it's been painted with leftover battleship grey paint. It's not very inviting at all.

My partner and I visited Atherton on Friday evening, January 24, 2020 based on the great food reviews we had heard about. Despite usually dining elsewhere in the area, we decided to give this place a try. However, upon arriving, we were informed that they no longer serve food, despite still being advertised as a restaurant. We were in a rush and unfamiliar with the area, so we had to quickly find another place to eat.

We went to this pub today and waited 15 minutes for someone to take our order. However, we noticed that she was serving other customers who came in after us. As a result, we decided to leave.

Visited for lunch and had the Roast beef. Servings are huge and very well cooked. Great range of cask beers plus cask cider and plenty of keg beers to choose from.
