The Bears Paw

Written by

The Bear’s Paw dates from the 19th century and is managed by a family run company based in Cheshire. They bought The Bear’s Paw in 2008 after seeing its potential to be a thriving gastro pub with rooms.

Sadly, a few a few weeks before re-opening, there was an electrical fire which destroyed much of the building resulting in a complete re-build and an investment of £2.5million. The family were delighted to open the doors of the newly refurbished Bear’s Paw Inn in May 2009.

The restaurant serves locally-sourced seasonal produce, freshly cooked and has been recognised for its quality with an AA Rosette dining award. Cheeses all come from within a 30-mile radius of the inn, with the majority of seafood coming straight from the trawler in Lancashire. The delicious ice-cream comes from the popular Cheshire Farm Ice Cream.

Six real ales, all from local micro breweries, take centre stage on the bar with many various guest appearances seen throughout the year.

The Bears Paw is a dog-friendly inn!

The Smoker

Written by

In February 2018, The Smoker underwent a £750,000 refurbishment to transform the 400-year-old, iconic thatched coaching inn situated in the village of Plumley.



With its roaring fires and new décor, the inn offers a warm and welcoming environment. There is a full range of cask ales and beers, a large selection of wines, and an extensive menu, along with daily specials.



The pub has plenty of parking along with gardens and patio areas to enjoy a drink or meal during the warmer months.

History

The Smoker first opened its doors in 1597, a year when William Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ was first performed and the King James Bible was published for the first time in London.

The only pub in Britain called The Smoker, it was named after Smoker, a smoky-coloured charger owned by the first Lord de Tabley, who raised the Cheshire Yeomanry against the threat from Napoleon. The horse was bred as a racehorse by the Prince Regent. Racing calendars from 1790 and 1793 show that Smoker won 12 of his 19 races and was only unplaced twice.

Peckforton Castle

Written by

Entering Peckforton Castle is like going back in time. Initially passing through the gatehouse lodge, the entrance continues with a forest drive before reaching the Castle's open carriageway, protected by a portcullis.


With two restaurants, an amazing cellar bar, 'falconry encounter' and off road Land Rover experience, along with a myriad of events throughout the year, Peckforton is well worth a visit. The Sandstone Trail also passes through the surrounding 4,000 acres of forest.



History

Peckforton Castle was commissioned by John Tollemache and completed in 1851. He became a Lord in 1876 in recognition of his services to agriculture. The father of 24 sons and one daughter, through two marriages, sadly only 12 of his sons survived him after he died aged 85 in 1890.

The last member of the Tollemache family to live in the Castle was Lord Bentley.

The Castle was used as a hostel for 200 physically disabled children evacuated from the London area during the second World War.

English Heritage awarded Peckforton Castle the status of a Grade I building in 1952 and remained unused until 1969, when it was acquired and used as a private club known as The Treasure Trap. The Castle was sold to the current tenants in 1989 and in 2001 was one of the Government’s first venues to be licensed for civil ceremonies beyond a Registry Office.


1851 Restaurant


The 1851 Restaurant is holder of three AA Rosettes and a Taste Cheshire Award. The dining experience features classical French and modern British cuisine with carefully selected, locally grown and reared produce, selected by the Head to best reflect the season and the region.

The Restaurant is open from 6pm each evening and from midday for Sunday lunch. The restaurant is available for parties of up to 8 people and bespoke fine dining packages are also available on request.

Please note, no children are allowed in the restaurant.

 

2010 Brasserie


The informal and cosmopolitan 2010 Brasserie is located in the former scullery of the Castle, and still houses many of the original kitchen features including two cast iron cooking ranges dating back to the 1840s.

An extensive menu offers light meals such as panini, sandwiches and soup, along with more substantial meals including fish and chips and braised local beef. The knights and maidens menu is offered to younger guests.


Al Fresco Dining

The courtyard adjoining the Brasserie compliments the location with additional space and offers a modern al fresco dining experience.

The Bowling Green

Written by

Traditional Chop House

UP-DATE: The Bowling Green is set to re-open early February 2020 under NEW MANAGEMENT

Established in 1650, this steak and chop house has recently been sympathetically refurbished and offers guests a cosy atmosphere and a warm welcome from the super friendly staff.

In their own words:

“A Chop House isn't a restaurant or a pub, it’s a meeting place for the community with much more than just beers to drink.

We have exceptional fresh coffee, local real ale and fantastic local produce to cook with. The Chop House is a British Institution dating back to the 16th & 17th centuries.

Harking back to times when meat was king, portions were hearty and provenance was everything. Our chefs serve personalised butchered steaks – served by the ounce – and chops all cooked on open charcoal grills or spit roasts, alongside daily specials inspired by the best ingredients the British Isles has to offer.”

There is plenty of parking at the front and rear and dogs are welcome.
