In Alsager itself, Indian restaurants take centre stage. There's no need to trek into Chester or Manchester to enjoy a world-class korma or some lesser known subcontinental dishes. Local chefs are just as skilled and ready to show what they can do. For instance, at restaurants like Alsager Spice the kitchen serves up virtuoso takes on bhunas, baltis and biryanis along with super-spicy southern Indian and Sylheti versions which feature naga chillies. Whether you want a challenge or just a beautifully prepared dish you love, these curry houses always deliver.

If the selection of restaurants in Alsager village isn't diverse enough, that's not a problem. The east Cheshire region is full of eateries serving cuisine from around the world. Over in Sandbach, you could make a reservation at Italian bistros and enjoy some low calorie delights as part of a Mediterranean diet. Or you could visit Leek, where European venues like Beckett's Farm serve up gourmet specials from the UK and the continent. From fry-ups featuring locally produced bacon to freshly prepared quiches and roasted pork belly dishes, it's a great place to eat at any time of day.
