Remember this place from a few years ago before the refurb. Couldn't say much then and even less now. An overpriced experience in all aspects. Over �5 for a pub dessert is ridiculous. The over extensive menu means poor quality and minimal portions. One to avoid.

very overpriced

Had a lovely Mothers Day tea here. Beer great, wines great. Food delicious especially the chocolate sharing dessert. Also do great kid's portions. Lovely all round.

Well, if you remember the old pub then prepare to be very impressed.
The selection of good beers is excellent and constantly changing. The staff are obviously enthusiastic and enjoy working in this excellent, progressive pub/restaurant which, I believe, is part of Brunning and Price who own around 15 pubs in all.
The menu is extensive and imaginative, clearly not cobbled together by amateurs, and the food is prepared to a very high standard.
As a filthy Southerner I was not surprised by the prices but do understand that you are paying for the excellent atmosphere, extremely good decor and faultless food, a bit scarse in the Whitchurch area.
I am sure that if you were an expert on footballer's wives and their spouses this is the sort of establishment to spot them - very Cheshire! I was surprised that the car park did not have electric gates!

its very expensive and just not to my taste

Visited twice last weekend whilst staying nearby. Good range of real ales. Food was superb on both occasions. There were 20 of us both days, so I think we must have tried most options on the menu and everything was very good. Blackboard with an interesting cheese menu and another with the port menu to go with it! Landlord and staff friendly. Fairly big country pub with nice decor.
To sum up, I wish this was my local!

Now fully established as regular for me, great selection of well kept and regularly changing beers. Worth the visit if in the area.

We are regular visitors to the Cumberemere which is a well run pub, great surroundings and, if you don't go at peak times, provides good service. They carry an excellent range of "real ale" beers and wines. The food is normally good, sometimes great but, very occasionally, decidedly average.

Not very impressed. The menu was all over the place. I had a "chicken & mushroom suet pudding" and it tasted bland, was very very heavy. Far too expensive. Nice inside, though.

The Combermere has a long and proud history as a pub � it dates from the 1540�s and is a jumble of nooks and crannies, and Brunning and Price have preserved the character of the building well. It is a classic Cheshire country inn to the bottom of its venerable boots, and pretty much sums up everything good about pubs.
