Quarry Bank Inn in Altrincham

Ah, Quarry Bank Inn – it's one of those places that just feels like a proper local gem in Timperley. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are genuinely lovely, always ready with a smile and that extra touch of care, which makes popping in for a pint or a meal feel like catching up with old friends. The food's a standout too; think hearty portions packed with flavour and served up at fair prices, ideal for a Saturday night with the family or cheering on your team with a cold beer in hand. It's got that cosy vibe that's just right for unwinding, whether you're there for a quiet dinner or to soak in the atmosphere during a match. On the flip side, it's not all perfect – I've heard a few grumbles about things like uneven portion sizes on some dishes, which could put a dampener on things if you're expecting consistency, and the odd menu item that doesn't quite gel, like that minted lamb burger with its quirky toppings. Still, with an overall rating hovering around 4.3, it's clear this spot does a lot more right than wrong, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area for a relaxed, enjoyable evening out.
