Romper in Altrincham

Ah, let me tell you about The Romper in Ringway – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper hidden gem, especially if you're popping in for a bite before heading off from the airport. I love how it's got that cosy, country inn feel, with a warm atmosphere that's just right for unwinding over a meal or a drink. The food really stands out; think hearty pub classics done well, like that lamb shank shepherd's pie that's so tender and full of flavour – it's the sort of thing that leaves you smiling. And the staff? They're brilliant, always friendly and helpful, making sure everything runs smoothly without being over the top. It's a great spot for groups or even a solo visit, with decent options on the menu to suit most tastes. On the flip side, I have to be honest, one of the dishes like the slow-cooked beef came across as a tad too fatty in some feedback, which might not sit well if you're after something leaner. Still, with such high ratings overall, it's clear this place gets more right than wrong, and I'd say it's well worth a visit for a relaxed evening out – just maybe check the menu first to pick your favourites!
