Historic character, warm fires and country-pub ease in Farndon
The Raven is a 16th-century village pub with contemporary design softened by traditional charm. Its recently refurbished interior is described as cosy, warm and welcoming, while the bright, airy open-plan ground floor offers three distinct areas to enjoy. When the fire is lit, the room gains an especially inviting sense of comfort: a natural setting for an unhurried lunch, a relaxed evening or a quiet drink in good company.
Food is at the heart of the offer, with the official menu covering lunch, main courses, Sunday roast, vegan and gluten-free choices, desserts and drinks. The pub says it uses locally sourced dishes and regional produce, creating a menu with a clear connection to the area. The kitchen also offers takeout, and the menu includes children’s options, making the food offer broad without losing its village-pub character.
Outside, the courtyard and seating area extend the pub into the open air, with space to enjoy Farndon’s rural village atmosphere when the weather allows. Seating is first come, first served, while the open log fire brings a contrasting indoor welcome through the cooler months. With its historic setting, country feel and easy mix of food, fire and outdoor space, The Raven offers an appealing Cheshire border stop.
