The Badger Inn

About The Badger Inn

Nantwich locals treat this country pub as an easy family default, and the space helps — plenty of room to park a pram, a beer garden for when the noise level rises, and free parking so you're not circling with a car full of hungry children. The staff get consistent praise for being welcoming and, as one parent put it, "great with small children", with high chairs and a kids' menu as standard. Portions are generous to the point that a starter can defeat you: the Sunday roast, the pies, steaks with onion rings and the signature cheeseburger all come in for repeated praise, and food arrives hot and quickly. Dogs are welcome in the bar and garden but not the restaurant. Booking is sensible at weekends, and the bar side can be snug when it's busy.
