The George Inn - Sandbach

However, I wouldn't recommend visiting during the day. They offer cake and coffee for £3, but the drinks were lukewarm, and the piece of cake was so small that even kids would be disappointed. It was a tiny slice of Waitrose's finest—lovely as it is—but I could buy an entire cake for less and enjoy it much more! What is a great venue at night feels dark and dreary during the day. The stacked tables, made from old beer barrels, come off as an afterthought. The whole cake and coffee concept should either be executed well or not at all. Given what’s offered, I think it’s not worth opening during the day; the owner likely spends more on utilities and staffing than they make. However, if they need daytime staff, I’d be more than happy to take a job just to sit and chat with friends in the beer garden—it sounds delightful! It's a shame because this place has so much potential if given some thought. We ended up leaving and went to Costa to get a hot drink instead. I gave it three stars solely for the nighttime experience, but the day visit really brought the overall rating down.

Our American breakfast arrived without any bacon, and when I informed the waitress, she just disappeared. As our lukewarm food began to cool down, I went to the bar staff to report the missing bacon. Eventually, the bacon was brought out, but it was stone cold! When I mentioned this to the staff, their response was, "That's how it's served!" The service was very disappointing, which is a shame because it's a nice place. Price per person: £10–20.

The food here is delightful and very reasonably priced. Expect to spend around £20–30 per person. I would rate the food a perfect 5, the service also a 5, and the atmosphere a solid 4. I highly recommend trying the Sirloin Steak with Chips and Scampi, as well as the Ham, Egg, and Chips.

As anticipated, the drinks are affordable, but the service is slow. Cost per person: £10–20. Service rating: 3. Atmosphere rating: 3.
