Had drinks in the beer garden here on the first sunny Sunday of 2025. Plenty of outside tables available, but I don't think this place was prepped for the nice weather. A lot of tables with empty glasses on them and the bar had sold out of crisps! Still a nice place for a beer, next to the river.

Greeted warmly on entry and taken to our table. Drinks arrived straight away once ordered. The menu was full of options for all tastes. I got offered a choice of sauces with my meal but wasn’t told it would cost extra. Many other restaurants include this in the price. The meal arrived promptly and we were offered more drinks. The meal was cooked really well. We didn’t have deserts as I am disabled and had to get home for medication but we will definitely be returning again.
Prices are good £20 for a mixed grill I thought was great value for money. There are two areas, the bar and the dining area the bar does allow dogs which is great for people who can’t leave their dog at home alone. The dining area is separated one smaller areas giving privacy to everyone.
Would I come back? Most definitely and with friends next time. Enjoy your meal x

The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was friendly and efficient, and the food/drinks were excellent. It’s always a pleasure to visit a place where the staff clearly care about their customers.
I appreciate the effort your team puts into making every visit enjoyable, and I’ll definitely be returning soon. Keep up the great work!

Myself and my husband were dining with a couple of friends. We have never visited previously but will be sure to return. My husband is celiac and they had a whole separate menu for him but it’s the staff that are the real hidden gem. So friendly and welcoming. We were greeted by Georgina and looked after by Adele. ( a waitress who had taken such great off us previously). They helped us choose a gluten free option on the lunch menu for my husband so he could be included with us. We had the budget friendly lunch menu and I had the fish goujons were beautifully crisp and the fish soft and flakey. He had gammon with a fresh runny egg.
All four of us had the sticky toffee for afters , which was so light and soft. I want the recipe.
We were told upon paying that the chef that had cooked for us was Bertie. We cannot wait to return and sample more of his cooking. A weekend menu was mentioned so we will be booking in soon.

We chose to try the 3 course menu. Cheesy garlic mushrooms were very good, as was the sea bass, and the sundae dessert was also very nice with plenty of ice cream. All 6 dishes we had were well presented and cooked. We last visited last summer, and we thought the food was much better - so compliments to the new chef.
Everyone who was working there were very pleasant and helpful, and seemed professional, getting things done without rushing around.
Not a vast selection of cask beer, but pedigree well kept. Also had banks bitter.
Plenty of parking, and there is also an hourly bus service that stops at the door (2. Derby - Melbourne -Swad) and runs into evening.

amazing food especially the fried chicken burger. Served presentable and warm. Staff very polite and friendly. Tracey was always happy to help our family when she saw us stood at the bar waiting to be served.

I Haven’t been to Crewe and Harper in years and used to come here as a kid when it used to be a wacky warehouse (I believe it was anyway). Came here for a family Sunday meal as they have a family area with some play activities to keep the kids distracted. We were welcomed by a friendly host who showed us to our table, which was a nice welcome. The table was a ‘scan at table’ to purchase your food and drinks; however, the website wouldn’t work (as seen in the photos) after multiple attempts, so we had to go to the bar to order. We had the signature beef burger with a side of onion rings, and our two children had the chicken dippers, chips, and beans. For drinks, I was really looking forward to having the Hawkstone larger on tap; however, the bar staff advised that they no longer provide this, even though (his words) it was a huge success, but Marstons have decided to not continue with it anymore, which doesn’t surprise me as I used to work a long side Marstons who don’t really listen to customer feedback (my opinion), so we went for a San Miguel instead.
Our meals were really nice, and the children’s meals went down nicely too. We finished the evening off with a vanilla cheesecake, chocolate brownie, and a fruit salad for dessert, which hit the spot.
Will look into returning in the summer as they have a great beer garden!

We had a booking. Quickly shown to our table and drinks order taken immediately. Ordered a valentine's set meal and steak/pie meal. Pate starter was lovely. I ordered rare steak but came out medium. Had brownie pudding which we enjoyed. Nice atmosphere and decor. Will definitely return but not for steak.

We booked a table for six for a modest wedding celebration and the staff dressed our table beautifully without being asked, including a complimentary bottle of prosecco!
Service was excellent, good food at a reasonable price too. Very enjoyable experience had by all.
We will visit again.

This eating establishment has gone down hill so much over the last 4 yrs.
We went for a meal and although there was plenty of tables available although it was in the evening and they told us the only table we could have was nr the drinking part where they allow dogs. I was not impressed at all. Eventually two people just walked in and sat down at their chosen table, then they did let us have a table.
The food was only average. Will not return.
