The 30 Best Bar pub in Cheshire

“The first time I came in, Brad took the time to look at how my hair grows and how it sits with my head shape. He gave great advice and was absolutely spot on. Over a few visits, he managed to correct a bad cut I’d had before, and now I’m genuinely happy with how it looks. Highly recommend, Brad is the best barber I've been to in my 35 years.”

“We’ve just had an incredible meal. I tried the wagu ribeye which is a great recent(ish) addition to the menu - highly recommended. Our waitress was the lovely Abbie who was as very attentive and made us giggle. Thanks Abbie and team for a great post-shopping dinner!”

“Love this pub. I come in on my own and always feel welcome. Garden is lovely”

“Gorgeous food! Very friendly and accommodating staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Lovely atmosphere and good value for money. Definitely recommend and will be returning. Katie was a fab server and the chef Alan made our choice of food easier with his recommendations.”

“Even though I have been for a few nights out in Parkgate during the last few years, I've only just gone in to The Red Lion! I wasn't sure what to expect but oh wow...I was pleasantly surprised and had a wonderful evening. It is warm, welcoming and friendly from the start. There is a cosy open log fire, a vast array of drinks to choose from, good wines, great non-alcoholic beer selection and comfy seats. We were a few seats short for our group but the manager went out of his way to re-arrange a few things and make it work for us...and he did so with a smile and a great attitude. He made sure to talk to the locals and overall this place just has that really honest, decent feeling you want from a local pub. It's recently been redecorated I believe and it looks really great in there, there is also plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the stunning Parkgate view. This pub is a must on your visit to Parkgate.”

“We needed somewhere close to the waterways museum and this was the perfect spot. The staff in the hotel and the restaurant were great, happy, smiling nothing too much trouble and the meal we had was excellent. Our room on the 3rd floor gave us great views over the canals and museum. I would highly recommend. The only potential problem is what appears to be limited parking, although there was a wedding on when we were there which may have been the cause of the problem.”

“Great service and good prices highly recommend”

“Wow where do we start. We can certainly tick off all of the boxes above. We dined at the chesire branch for fathers day 2025. After looking at the menu I knew it would be the best place for myself, my husband and our 2 children aged 1 & 4. We had travelled 2 hours for a weekend in chester therefore I couldn't bring with me any decor for fathers day, the amazing manager Laura instantly gave us a balloon to take away and the most amazing and welcoming service, infact every member of staff we interacted with were so pleasant. The restaurant clearly went above and beyond to ensure everyone there enjoyed fathers day and any other occasion they may have. The food was really good and left us wanting more even though we were full. The staff were amazing with the kids, which actually led mummy and daddy enjoy their meal. This does not happen often, so a very special thank you!! Thank you las iguanas cheshire for really making our evening, and giving us an amazing fathers day evening. When visiting chesire again, you will be the first on our list!”

“We've just had a lovely breakfast at the Cheshire Yeoman. Quality ingredients cooked to perfection and well presented. The background music was good and just the right level. Our waitresses, Lucinda was friendly, helpful and very efficient. We'll be back.”

“Dave and Ffion gave an amazing welcome. Adam in the kitchen delivered this masterpiece! I couldn’t fault anything. Lovely visit.”

“Been coming here for many years before it was a Green King pub. First visit under the Green King ownership and it didn't disappoint, quite the opposite. I need to mention the chap with the beard behind the bar on the evening of Thursday 20th November, what a pleasure he was. Fantastic friendly service a breath of fresh air. Food and drink were fab too. Been to Green Kings all over the country and this was one of the best. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Great little pub with lovely beer garden”

“I love this place, it's one of my favourite restaurants. I usually come here with my son who's 16, as he loves eating here. We've been on a Monday a few times during half term when it's half price. Great value, friendly staff. Can't fault it. I hope it reopens when restaurants are allowed to open again, as we'd love to have another meal here.”

“Kayleigh and Alex smashed it good was amazing service brilliant - The Mussels and fries with sour dough bread are a winner, the price of the food soo reasonable! Love the place , highly recommend it - hope you can get in - went on a Monday it was rammed!!!”

“Had a great experience at TGI Fridays today! I ordered the beef tortillas, pasta and fries everything was delicious. Our server Sophie was amazing, so friendly and attentive. It was my birthday and the team made it really special with a free cake, a cute balloon hat and a fun birthday song! Great atmosphere and great service. Highly recommend!”

“Great value pub grub, they do non alcoholic pitchers for £5.99 and 2 for £12.99 mains. Trifle baked Alaska was nice and tangy. Don't forget blue light card for 15% off food if you have it. Ordering from the app was easy. Food came out hot and quick. Cheap and cheerful.”

“Great venue in the Beer Garden for live music, I thoroughly enjoyed myself”

“Came to the sports club for a kickboxing event as my daughter was competing.... well cared for by the staff as I also had my other children with me,one who is autisitc and blind..... a fantastic day and she came out with 1st place and 3x 2nd places”

“Visited it for the first time because of a buy one get one free coupon. Food were nice at great value and staff were friendly. Would definitely be going again and recommend to anyone. Love the full rack of ribs .”

“Son had a laser quest party here yesterday and it was great. Kids loved it and we thought it was great value for money. Would highly recommend, didn't have to worry about anything as everything was sorted for us. The staff hosting the party were all helpful and friendly!”

“Good menu choices, meal was of good quality and plentiful. The desserts were delicious, with my adult granddaughter saying it was the best chocolate fudge cake she had ever tasted. My raspberry bakewell tart and custard was the best I've ever tasted. At least four cask beers on offer and good lager choice as well. Service was exceptional being both friendly and attentive.”

“Very nice and lively place. We went there for dinner and the pasta dishes, made by their sister place Pronto Pasta, were absolutely amazing. Also the Selekt Spiritz made by the bartender of the Venetian was great, true Venice style. Highly recommended.”

“Great range of beers and a great friendly atmosphere the staff are really friendly”

“Had Sunday lunch. We had the roast beef. Came with 4 veg, + roast and mash potatoes. Food was hot when arrived ***** stars. Staff friendly and efficient. Well done, will return”

“Book to make sure you have a seat,very popular food brilliant.”

“Good food staff are welcoming a good old fashioned pub”

“It is probably the best eating pub that I know. Easily accesable. Not hard to park. Entrance for all people. Service very good, but most days, reserve a table, especially Sunday. Great atmosphere inside and outside. Food is brilliant and there is plenty. Prices are very competitive.”

“Stayed overnight whilst in the area for a friend’s birthday party. Lovely, clean room with spacious bathroom - shower looked like it had been installed days ago. The best breakfast I’ve had for a long time - freshly cooked eggs royal. Really extensive breakfast menu and very reasonably priced. All cooked to order. Beautiful presentation. Delightful staff.”
