Gunners Arms Stanney Grange in Ellesmere Port

Ah, Gunners Arms Stanney Grange – what a gem of a pub it's turned into lately. From what I've gathered from the buzz around, it's all about that homely vibe where the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome, and the drinks are spot on without costing a fortune. I love how they've spruced the place up; it's clean as a whistle now, which really lifts the spirits after hearing it was a bit run-down before. It's got that classic community pub charm, full of laughs and a great atmosphere for everything from a quiet pint to cheering on the footie. On the flip side, though, their website's a bit of a let-down with some technical glitches, so you might struggle to get the lowdown online before you go. And the opening times seem a tad confusing from what's listed, which could catch you out if you're planning a visit. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed evening – just pop in and see for yourself; you might end up making it your new regular haunt!
