Tame Valley Hotel in Ashton

Ah, Tame Valley Hotel – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a reliable spot for a bite and a bevvy with mates. From what I've gathered from the chats online, it's got this lovely homely vibe that makes you want to linger a bit longer, especially with the staff being so cheerful and attentive; they're always up for a chat or sorting out any little requests without a fuss. The food's a real highlight too – think big portions of proper grub like gammon or fish and chips that hit the spot, and at prices that won't dent your wallet, with those daily specials being an absolute bargain. It's no wonder so many are raving about it; places like this make for great afternoons or evenings out. But hey, it's not all roses – I've seen a mention or two about the odd disappointing dish, like a steak that was a tad dry, and that hygiene slip-up with the chef using hands instead of tools is a bit off-putting. Still, overall, it strikes a nice balance of being affordable and enjoyable, so if you're in the area and fancy a relaxed pint and meal, I'd say give it a go, just keep those expectations in check for a true local experience.
