Aston near Nantwich, Cheshire

The Bhurtpore Inn (The Bhurty)

Just outside Nantwich, The Bhurty brings together the pleasures of a rural village pub and a food-led dining room: freshly prepared dishes, Sunday lunches, a spacious garden and the glow of a wood burner, all in a welcoming Aston setting.

A bright country pub for generous food, open fires and Aston village warmth.

Set in the countryside at Aston near Nantwich, The Bhurtpore Inn is an independent village pub with a lighter, modern feel. A wooden floor, light walls, skylight, opened-up bar and retained historical photographs give the interior character, while its dining-oriented layout makes it a natural spot for an unhurried meal. The operator describes a friendly rural welcome, and the pub’s current identity as The Bhurty adds a relaxed, local personality.

Food is at the heart of the offer. Published menus cover main courses, children’s meals, Sunday roasts, desserts, wine and seasonal occasions, with the kitchen serving lunch and evening meals from Wednesday to Saturday and on Sundays. Evidence also points to freshly prepared food, sandwiches through to full meals, and popular Sunday lunches. A separate coffee-shop offer brings breakfast, cake and coffee into the daytime mix.

Outside, a large rear garden extends the pub’s countryside appeal, with a heated tipi available to hire. Inside, the wood burner adds a welcome focal point when the weather turns cooler. The Goodwins describe themselves as long-time locals and the pub as a hub for Aston village, locals and regulars—an operator-reported community identity that gives The Bhurty an inviting sense of place. Dogs are listed as welcome throughout the premises.
