Rome wasn't built in a day......



You know how we said we'd be, ahem, open in the autumn? Well, as they say, good things come to those who wait.... So instead, we've got a competition for you!

Rome wasn't built in a day......and it took 30 years to build The Great Pyramid - so on that scale, we're not doing too badly!

Although The Fishpool Inn is progressing well, you might have noticed we're not going to be open in the autumn as we had initially hoped.

Our revised opening date is January. As a little thank you for sticking with us, we've got a fabulous competition for you to enter:

Oak is a strong theme in the pub and we'd like you to guess how many oak beams have been used in the whole refurbishment, including the oak framed extension. Tip: take a look at our Facebook page for more pictures of the Fishpool interior construction.

The person who guesses the right number* will win a 3 course meal for 2 with a bottle of house wine. Send in your entry via our Facebook page, Twitter page or simply email us here.

Enter before Friday 30th November and we'll announce the lucky winner in our next newsletter. Good luck!

*The winning entry will be the correct number or the entry that is closest to the correct number. In the event of multiple winning entries, the winner will be drawn at random.

The Fishpool Inn is a cosy, characterful inn dating back to the 18th century and impressively has recently been awarded a much sought after accolade of 'Best New Pub' in the UK. Idyllically positioned on the edge of the enchanting Delamere forest and amidst the stunning Cheshire countryside, The Fishpool is without doubt one of the county's most popular gastro inns.

The cutting edge open fronted kitchen is a hive of creativity where the passionate, talented chefs work their magic as they cook freshly prepared meals using only the finest, locally sourced ingredients. The seasonally changing menu is varied to suit all tastes and features traditional home comforts and modern British and European dishes. And not forgetting a little taste of Italy with the Fishpool's flavoursome flatbreads and authentic Italian style pizzas, cooked to perfection in the superior Jestic wood stone oven. A firm favourite at the Fishpool is the unrivalled home-made, hearty pies with their succulent tasty fillings wholly encased by delicious puff pastry.

At the Fishpool Inn you can experience a true taste of Cheshire where the old and the new fuse together seamlessly and traditional rustic charm perfectly marries contemporary class. Whether enjoying a tipple or two on the outdoor terrace with picturesque beer garden, perfect for al fresco dining during the warmer months, or a hearty meal by one of the cosy log fires come winter, all guests, including our canine friends, will experience a warm welcome and the highest of standards in unique yet ambient surroundings. The charming Fishpool Inn is sure to be a memorable choice for all visitors.
