1. Angus Steak Burgers
The ultimate BBQ food! Don't skimp on the star of the grill - always handmade with Aberdeen Angus beef our burgers are meaty & flavour packed. We love our classic Steak Burgers, but try something different this weekend - perhaps an Italian inspired Tuscano burger topped with fresh tomato & crisp red onion.
2. Sweet Strawberries
A light summer pud, sweet British strawberries are at their best at the end of May & start of June, serve simply with indulgent Clotton Hall clotted cream; produced just a few miles away from Cheerbrook.

Refreshing, zesty, all the flavours of summer... shake up our gin lovers cocktail, a sure way to impress your guests:
50ml Two Birds Gin
50ml Ollie's Orchard Apple Juice
50ml Peckforton Hills Sparkling Water
25ml Alison's Lime Cordial
Fresh mint to garnish
4. Tangy Sauces
An amazing sauce or relish can send your taste buds into overdrive - Cottage Delight's range of sauces offers something to suit everyone's palate. We love their fresh garlic & chilli sauce smothered over sweet corn on the cob, fresh off the grill.
Perhaps a dollop of hickory smoked BBQ on your burger or marinade our pork ribs with their sticky rib & wing sauce.
5. Spatchcock Chicken
Tired of the same old BBQ staples? Choose from lemon & pepper, lemon & chilli or salt & pepper spatch cock chicken. There are so many ways to serve: wrapped in a tortilla or pitta with creamy yogurt dressing, with a crisp bed of salad & our garlic & herb potatoes or maybe a side of spicy rice & peas.

With locally made fudge, hand pressed cider & freshly baked bread; fill your basket with delicious local food & drink, here at Cheerbrook. Bidlea Dairy of Holmes Chapel, supply fresh milk to our farm shop & café. The Brown family have been raising the Bidlea girls for three generations on their farm in Holmes Chapel; the herd’s bloodline can be traced back 100 years! With over 900 Holstein-Friesian cows, current farmers Adam & Becky have created the Bidlea brand, taking milk & cream into local farm shops, delis & cafés. Most recently Bidlea have ventured into ice cream production, in their farm based dairy. Grazing on luscious Cheshire grass, the herd spend the majority of the year outside, producing milk rich in protein & butter fat. Happy cows make the best milk! Taking pride in their husbandry, the Brown family's happy herd produce full flavoured, nutritious milk. A relatively new addition to Cheerbrook, Bidlea now supply all of our farm shop & café milk, as well as their rich double cream, used by our bakers in our fresh cream cakes, egg custard tarts & quiches. We’re proud to support local farmers, just like Bidlea, in their diversification!
