Welcome to the Vale Royal Abbey Arms

Award-winning ales on the bar and fantastic food options to choose from, you’ll be spoilt for choice on your visit.

The Vale Royal Abbey Arms has everything that you could want from a cosy country pub. From the warm welcome as you walk through the door, to that spot by the fireplace that’s perfect for relaxing with a pint.

Looking to the bar, we have a range of excellent cask ales, such as the iconic JW Lees Bitter, to the light, fruity Manchester Pale Ale and more. We also have an extensive collection of wines, cocktails and spirits available.

NEW DISHES

Book your table

There’s something new on the menu this autumn, and it’s worth popping in for. Five brand new signature dishes, each one a proper plateful.

Fancy something a bit special? Try our Roast monkfish, wrapped in air dried ham with sautéed gnocchi, chorizo and wilted spinach. Or go cosy with Braised minted lamb Henry, all bubble & squeak and honey glazed root veg. Looking for something lighter? Our Nourish bowl has you covered, packed with griddled chicken, rice, houmous and a honey & soy dressing.

And of course, great value never goes out of fashion. Our Prix Fixe menu is back too, two courses for £17.45 or three for £19.95, available Monday to Friday from 12 noon.

Good food, good company, good prices. Grab a table and come and try it for yourself.

Had the baked salmon dish with garlic prawns and it was delicious. Salmon was perfectly cooked and the dish was beautifully presented. Would highly recommend ‘The Abbey Arms’
