English Fine Dining in Acton Trussell. This beautiful 4 AA star 14th century hotel offers silver service in a beautiful orangery, or for a more relaxed experience try the bar menu and relax outside by the lake in summer or if it’s a little colder snuggle up by the log fire. We went here on our first date so can highly recommend the food if you’re looking for something special.

On the A5 by Wheaton Aston, this is our favourite Indian restaurant with friendly staff and the best Indian food you will ever eat. We can highly recommend the chicken tikka (there isn’t another like it) and the cheesy garlic nan and pilau rice are amazing. They also do takeaways that are 10% off menu price and big enough portions to serve two.
