Bar pub in Chester

“Had this amazing curry box from Amantola last Friday. It came with a chicken in a delicious curry sauce, Donna meat, vegetables and curried chips. It came with a side of flatbreads and was great for sharing with the family. We always have a Friday night curry from here and it’s always excellent! Maroosh makes sure everything is delivered fresh.”

“We had a wonderful stay at the Village Hotel Chester St. David’s! Holly at reception was incredibly kind and understanding — she helped us change the dates of our stay due to illness, which we really appreciated. Everyone we met was super friendly and helpful, making us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. The food deals were fantastic, especially with the app discounts — excellent value for money and great quality. Breakfast was brilliant too — plenty of choice, fresh, and tasty with something for everyone. Overall, a really lovely experience with great service and great people. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Great hotel on the outskirts of Chester. Approx 15 min drive to the zoo, Cheshire oaks and Chester city centre. Was slightly worried after booking as read some reviews that didn't rate this hotel but we found it great. Staff very friendly and always happy to help. Bar area nice, breakfast and bar food we had very tasty. Room clean and tidy. Had a problem with the room door not working properly but the handy man arrived promptly and sorted very quickly. Pool and gym facilities looked lovely but didn't use on this occasion. Would stay again.”

“Went as a large group of 18 seniors at beginning of summer holidays for lunch.. We all had a set two course menu of a roast and apple crumble. Couldn’t fault food and service. Food was tasty, hot, and plentiful. A shout out for Lottie our waitress who was brilliant and understood that some people had special requests. We will be back again.”

“Afternoon tea was amazing last week, we booked a table for 12 people and were amazed how good it looked when we all arrived. Table was dressed up It had lots of xmas ribbons and lace thanks to staff member Amy. Food was just brilliant lots of fresh sandwiches, cakes and some lovely warm scones. Fresh coffee and tea offered a few times so we all had lots of fresh drinks. It made our xmas so special. Many thanks to all the staff.”

“Visited on a quiet Wednesday evening and was thoroughly impressed by the service. I was served by an energetic and just generally wonderful gentleman named Alex. He has an innate talent for informal - but not unfriendly - welcomes and ensures that every individual be speaks to its made to feel like the most important person in the room. Attentive, but not overbearing. A chap of such outstanding quality reflects a gold standard that every premises should aspire to. The fare, of course, was magnificent, but the true star of the show was not what was on the plate. But rather, the people responsible for it. 10/10 top-to-bottom. No notes.”

“Had a lovely time here during our short stay in Chester. There is a great selection of craft ales on tap and in bottles/cans. Plenty of seating on two levels and there is a live beer board. The Lady behind the bar was very friendly and knowledgeable about the types of drinks available. Highly recommend this venue and would visit again !”

“Great beers, great atmosphere and even better staff, lovely little place.”

“We had the Sunday roast and it was honestly amazing — perfectly cooked meats, crisp roast potatoes, rich gravy, and beautifully prepared veg. Everything was full of flavour and clearly made with care. The setting is cosy and stylish without feeling formal, and the staff were so friendly and attentive throughout. It’s the kind of place where you can really relax and enjoy your meal. A proper treat for a Sunday — we’ll definitely be back soon!”

“The best meal I’ve had all year! Genuinely stunning food, amazing atmosphere and fabulous staff/service. 10/10 from me and we will 100% be back! Thankyou”

“Amazing place - found via Michelin Guide. Food quality was beyond expectations - particularly the foccaccia was super tasty. Variety was perfect and everything was very fresh. Location and the atmosphere of the restaurant are perfect too! Highly recommended to visit - worth to make a reservation.”

“Would highly recommend going for a meal here. The staff were really helpful. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was was lovely. We will definitely be going again next year.”

“Popped in here on Easter Sunday as in the area on the off-chance they would be able to fit us in without a booking. The guy at the door was super friendly and helpful and managed to get us a table. Not a huge amount of vegetarian/vegan options on the menu but what we did have was really good.”

“Especially unique bar with a very exclusive atmosphere, amazing choice of drinks and great entertainment from the mixologist. Very attentive staff, Tom was an exceptional and humorous host. A must visit if you are ever in Chester. Great music with unusual eclectic decor and interesting selection of drinks!”

“We had our wedding at The Inn at Huxley on 30.11.2024 and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The venue is absolutely beautiful – rustic with wooden beams that create such a warm, charming atmosphere, and the ceremony space with its glass doors made for the most stunning backdrop. The outdoor areas are equally gorgeous and added so much to the day. The food was incredible – our guests kept telling us it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding, and we couldn’t agree more. Every course was exceptional. We had to change our date last minute and nothing was ever too much trouble. Clive was amazing throughout the entire process – supportive, responsive, and always available whenever we needed help or reassurance. The Inn at Huxley is a truly special venue, and we feel so lucky to have celebrated our day there. We cannot recommend it highly enough!”

“A gnome from home Belgium type bar with a cracking selection on keg and cask. And the cheese board are very good for the price”

“Food served here. Plenty of bar snacks though. Great atmosphere. Really good band playing (Love Tattoo) when we were there.”

“What a FANTASTIC wee café! We had a great coffee and tea and the pie!! Yum! The history of this place is VERY interesting with the portholes and the story of how the really lovely current owners saved this building and turned it into something EVERYONE can enjoy, including sitting outside. THANK YOU so much, guys!”

“I live in Farndon and I have been to the Raven loads of times, and it never disapoints. I now have a favourite meal there, the salt and pepper chicken wings with potato tots, Mac n cheese and chips. Since it is alot I usually share with my cousin since it is her fav too. I have to say..... No. 1 CHICKEN WINGS IN THE WORLD! #wingwednesdayisthebestday”

“Excellent beer and friendly staff. The regulars are welcoming and talkative. Usually right excellent draft beers and extensive bottle and can selection. Food provider by a series of guest caterers: always compliment the beers and outstanding value Dog friendly too and if you’re coming by train they’ve created a live departure board to ensure that you don’t miss your train”

“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”

“Been here many times now and always have a good time. Staff are friendly, vibe and music is great - and a lot of love and effort goes into the menu. Big recommend. Plus occasionally get to see a cool dog.”

“This place is consistently spectacular. Amazingly authentic Turkish food, family run by the most beautiful friendly people and an incredibly fun and vibrant atmosphere. We come from Manchester every year for our wedding anniversary and this place never disappoints. We had the mixed meat platter for 2 and wowzers, come hungry because the portions are huge but so so delicious. We finished the evening talking with the owner into the early hours. She is a lovely lady and we will be back next year”
