the merlin at the end of the a34 bypass in alderly edge is nice or guesto a little futher up london road in to alderly edge although it may be a little more than £40

[nickcowen]

Thanks for the recommendation think well have a drive past a few tomorrow and see which looks nice. Have been meaning to try the merlin. Went to "stay" in alderley edge a few weeks ago and that was nice

The Frozen Mop is a good shout, just on the road from me. Same people that own the Merlin isn't it??

Might give the Duke of Portland a try myself, nice little run out too if you stick to the twisties!!

Frozen Mop is indeed owned by the same operator as The Merlin.

The Wizard is worthy of consideration too:

The Golden Pheasant in Plumley has gone from strength to stength in the past 12 months. The food is reasonably priced, beer is expensive but there's quite often some interesting metal parked in the carpark.

The Bells of Peover is a lot better than it used to be, but expensive.

Only been to the Wizard out of all of those but its decent grub all the same. I really should get out more...

Romper is good by Manchester Airport, best bit is you get to play in the Tunnels..

[nickcowen]

Ye the tunnel is fun in my mates 360 but not so exciting in my punto.....

I came very close, thought it best to use a bit of restaurant though.

I can highly recommend the Plough & Flail in Mobberley, it's a lovely place and the food certainly used to be good.

There's also The Dog in Peover for a more traditional pub feel

Ended up at the frozen mop. Very nice and the bill came to £40.55 so bang on target. Airport tunnel is in a contraflow tho.... No fun

[nickcowen]

The food was great I had a tiger prawn pizza and chocolate fandant, she had chicken in lemon sause and something else that i'v forgotten but it was really nice I recommend it.

I tried the The Duke of Portland on Sunday. Food was ok, similar quality to what I had in the Weatherspoons in Wilmslow on friday lunchtime, only twice as expensive. Saw two other tables return food to the kitchen - wont be going back there.

Was that at lunchtime or in the evening, Adam? They seem to run out of food there come sunday evening. Given that it's run by (the Belle Epoque) Mooneys, they wouldn't be happy to hear your comments I'm sure.
