The Saracens Head
Paddock Lane, Warburton, Cheshire WA13 9TH
TEL: 01925 753761
A rural pub out in the Cheshire countryside, which was a 17th century coaching inn.. I came across it because it is just 50 yards off the GM Ringway route. It is mainly a restaurant but has a bar area for drinkers.
ambience - 3
Don't know what it's like when it's busy. I arrived just as it opened on a day early in the week, so it was quiet. I'm guessing it's lively at times. There's a huge, well designed dining room that takes up a lot of space but it's well separated from the bar area if you're only in for a drink.
No canned music and no tellies. (I like that)
decor - 4
Pale walls and lots of huge old wooden beams. A very traditional feel.
service - 4
Fast and attentive
real ale - 2
It's a Greene King pub but has two guest ales.

The fifth feature is one you will only see in early November. This is when the Warburton Soulers perform a traditional folk play about death and revival. Their first performance of the year is at the Saracens Head on 1st November, unless that is a Sunday, in which case the first performance is on 2nd November.

Good, newly decorated and very clean. But no loo roll.
