The Salt Barge

food was ok.... went for sunday lunch but the wait for beef was over an hour so had pork... generous portions it has to be said. but although it was ok it didn't blow me away and leave me thinking i should rush back.

Food average not exceptional. Not enough staff working the bar had to wait ages for drinks. Only went there as it gave a good review for food.

Excellent meal and good service very friendly staff good choice of menu good selection of wines and quality beers. Pleasant atmosphere and good time had by all

Food was poor garlic mushrooms with bread very soggy and muggy. Linguini was very bland no taste at all sauce very watery and far too many chillis

A great place to go, we have been a couple of times now , the staff are wonderful and the food is amazing .. we had the sunday lunch which arrived quickly and it was really nice .. can highly recommend visiting you will not be disappointed x

My wife had the large fish & chips I think next time the small fish & chips would be ample and I had the chicken skillet we both enjoyed our meals. the staff were very good.

Food and beer were good. However, it had the feeling and atmosphere of a chain pub, which I was not expecting. Seemed strangely quiet for a Sunday Lunchtime on a hot summers day.

Excellent food with large portions. Large fish and chips left me stuffed 😃😃. You may need to wait a little as this is not a fast food restaurant.

Made welcome and given efficient, quick and friendly service. Mains came in good sized portions of standard pub fare. Location of course very convenient for Lion Salt works and Anderton boat lift.

Sunday lunch was awful, mainly because the beef was sinuey and sliced too thick, hard to chew and the Yorkshire puddings were far to thin and crispy, won’t be going there again.

Good service and excellent food and drink meal served on time which was hot and very tasty. Will most definitely be going again for another meal

There was a slight hiccup with the starters due to the kitchen printer being out of paper but the food was excellent. The local beers on tap were well kept judging by the two I tried. We would go there again if in the area.

Booked a table for 4 people. Table was ready for us and in a nice position. Drinks and food were ordered and served in a timely manner. Food quality and presentation were good. Staff friendly and helpful.

We always visit the salt barge when we come up and see family, always fabulous food, service very good. Keep up the good work!! See you in June!!

once again went with family on a sunday afternoon after the rush. once again the food was top notch and plentiful. service was excellent and swift. thank you

Lovely Easter day meal out for 10 of us. The food was lovely and hot. The ladies that served us were really helpful and considerate of the fact we aren't the most organised family.

Had small portion fish& chips just enough, plates hot and meal hot,tables in most restaurants always feel sticky,does a anybody no why? Will certainly go again

An excellent pub the food was delicious and the atmosphere extremely friendly all the staff should be commended will definitely be going again and will definitely recommend

Had a lovely meal as always and great friendly staff. Had a wait for the food as it was busy but overall a good experience.

the food was fantastic.... nice pleasant pub...lovely ambience...I would recommend this pub very highly.. fast service and the food was hot on arrival.. I hadn't been to this pub for years but would happily go again

The salt barge is a lovely place to meet up, enjoy a lovely atmosphere (its very relaxing here) and the food is great. We’ve been a few times now and it is a family favourite place to meet. This time the staff brought out our own homemade cake and candle to celebrate a birthday. Thank you all

Friendly staff and good food would recommend to friends . Quick and easy to book a table online. The perfect place to go after a long walk.😃

Been coming here for donkey's years.always a good meal and large helpings. No scrambling here to get to the bar. I'll be back again next week. I am a fussy eater so it must be good

Food was OK but very strange gravy on the chicken dinner, more like a pepper corn type of sauce which was all you could taste, service was good. Had gone to check it out for a possible Christmas Booking but have decided against going.

Cracking food and beer, with a lovely atmosphere in the pub as well, particularly as there was no tv and no music. Will definitely be back!

Really tasty food and good service. Sadly I had to ask for mine to be heated some more as it was icy in the middle. Soon sorted and fine from there on. Wouldn't put me off going again

A fantastic, home cooked, meal. Had the homemade nacho starter to share. They were the best nachos I've ever had. Main course portions were huge, chips to die for. Definitely recommend. Will certainly be going again.

Great food best chips staff friendly but could do with a refurbish other wise it would have been a 6 but we will be coming again

Our first visit to the Salt Barge following a recommendation it did not disappoint, we had the roast beef dinner beef was tender vegetables were fresh not frozen if anything we would have preferred larger plates as portions were very generous with the beef, yorkshire pudding and potatoes it was difficult to fit any veg on the plate. The staff were lovely we shall certainly be back

Really enjoyed our visit to the Salt Barge food was lovely, the steak pie was delicious and staff friendly to. Definitely we will be visiting again very soon!

Excellent food, excellent service. Nice pub and great location. Unless you like super hot food, avoid the spicer menu items (fajitas, peri peri etc) as they are very hot.

Lovely canalside pub , friendly staff , with good selection of ales , lagers and wine , at a good price . Pub food at a high standard , and we are quite critical of the quality of food . The chicken fajitas were some of the nicest I've had , spicy but well cooked , moist chicken and very tasty . Scampi and chips were excellent , difficult to mess up , but easily done , good portions with crispy scampi , and lovely chips ( tasted home made ) , huge rack of ribs cooked well and not smothered in sauce .

Food and drink excellent service good Menu very good selection. We will certainly visitagain and have another meal and tell our friends how much we enjoyed our meal

Food was fabulous, nice choice of real ales. Good relaxed atmosphere. Service slightly slow for food but was well worth the wait. First time here but would definitely go again

Friendly place but the food could of been better we didn't order Sunday lunch we fancied something different but everyone seemed to be having Sunday lunch maybe the chef couldn't really be bothered to cook anything different don't think we will be returning .

Food was good, could have done with more staff on as bar staff were also serving food service was slow as they were detained at the bar.

Lovely setting and great value tasty food. It was very quiet for a half term, probably as it's a little way out of town but so worth the drive

We were a group of nine - booked for lunch/snack after visit to the Lion Salt Works museum site. Just across the road. Everything went well - staff very accommodating - and the food was good too.

Only 1 of the 4 meals ordered was good, the others being just mediocre. The vegetables were well undercooked, and both the fish pie and steak pie were low on filling and content. The staff were very pleasant but it is not a venue we will return to,

The tables were sticky and the bars covered with unwashed glasses, clearly not enough staff. Booked on line but it made no difference had to wait 20 mins to be asked what I wanted Staff were friendly just to busy Food was not hot Shame really because last visit it was good
