Restaurants · Sandbach
There's a lot of restaurant here — a big, modern room with olive trees down the centre, glass walls and an open kitchen that children tend to find fascinating rather than boring, so there's something to watch while you wait. Food comes out fast even when it's packed, which matters when someone's hit the wall. Buggies get in without a fight, high chairs and a kids' menu are there, and parking is free. The arrabbiata gets rapturous mentions for its chilli kick, the cheesy garlic bread is soft and properly garlicky, and portions on things like the cotoletta milanese are generous. The lasagne, baked cod and margherita all get their share of praise. Worth knowing: it's genuinely busy, a service charge is added automatically, and allergy handling has drawn serious complaints — flag any coeliac needs clearly and firmly.
