“Great Chinese take away. We ordered food from here twice while visiting the area. Thai red curry was my favorite. Good friendly service. Order online and it’s ready for pick up within 20 minutes.”

“Really great traditional pub with pool table and outside beer garden. Not too expensive either. The locals are all friendly. And the owners are the nicest people I have met. Look out for events like 80s night and karaoke.”

“Lovely clean hotel, very comfy beds. Staff really friendly especially Dominic on reception who was friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond in making our break very special. Great location for exploring Chester.”

“Great atmosphere been popping in and out of the bull for years always friendly place to go and great prices.”

“Lovely place, last minute decision from us after a long day. Lovely candle lit dinner and amazing food! The young lady was very attentive and handled everything brilliantly so hats off to you. My only snag was I asked the younger guy for another drink and It never arrived so had to ask the lady for one instead but that’s very minor. All in all I would recommend 10/10”

“Called in for a coffee whilst out shopping. Staff were lovely, friendly and excellent customer service. Cafe is small and cosy and drinks are good quality, as always from Cafe Nero. Cakes looked delicious, but too full from lunch to try one. Will leave room next time”

“Great atmosphere. Nice choice of beers”

“Stopped for a glass of wine. Lovely old building. Proper pub”

“Warm, friendly pub. Great pub atmosphere.”

“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!!!”

“A Hidden Gem in Cheshire Nestled in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, you'll discover a tranquil pub that's a true hidden gem. Their pizzas are on par with the best Italian restaurants, and the menu offers a diverse range of amazing food. The staff are consistently attentive and very pleasant, making for a delightful dining experience.”

“Totally love this place for takeaway's, the food is always excellent quality and deliciously hot even when being delivered, we have never had a meal turn up luke warm or cold. When collecting the staff are always super friendly and the owner always goes above and beyond for his customers. We were devastated to hear of the fire that occurred there and really missed our takeaways from there while the refurb was taking place. So glad to be able to return to our regular place as nowhere else comes close in comparison.”

“We booked the Private Dining Room on Sunday to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary. There were 18 of us in total. We had a great relaxing time, as we were not rushed in anyway. The food was to an excellent standard. delicious and served hot to everyone at the same time. The staff especially Ellie were very friendly, efficient and couldn't do enough to make everyone welcome and looked after. We had lots of compliments about the meals, the venue and the staff. The room was lovely with lovely views over the garden. We could not find a fault with anything and would encourage anyone looking for a venue for their event not to hesitate booking Rake Hall.”

“Went in for dinner after wet day at the zoo. Pub was nice and warm when walked in and straight away the smell of the food in carvery smelt fantastic. Bar staff were welcoming young lady that served me I think was called Lindsey. We all ordered a soft drink and carvery each( 3 adults 2 children) chefs working on carvery one was Kenny didn't catch the other lads name but both were very pleasant. Young lady called Ellie brought are deserts who was also very attentive and smilie.”

“We rented their apartment unit with my parents to visit family in the Chester area. We stayed for 5 days. It was the best decision we ever made. The staff was courteous, the location is more than ideal. There are many shops in the area to get snacks or take-out. We never cooked, except for breakfast, but there is a fully loaded kitchen. It was clean and stylish, and close to everything. About a 5 min cab ride to the train station, and a five minute walk to major shopping and historical sites. They made cots available to us, and helped us with directions, or trouble shooting with the washing machine (included in the laundry room). Very reasonably priced, we found, as well. Would recommend to anyone, our relatives will be doing the same, hope to be back to visit another time!”

“Absolutely brilliant place. Staff are extremely helpful and very friendly. Food is amazing with a great menu....all cooked fresh by Janet! Also the locals that use it make you very welcome. Would highly recommend. Nothing is too much trouble so thank you.”

“Had an amazing time at the Oaklands this evening catching up with family members. The food was excellent and the staff were very helpful and polite. Olivia especially went above and beyond to make sure our array of dietary requirements were appropriately catered for! We had a great experience, thank you Oaklands!”

“A great pub in the heart of Chester with some nice outdoor seating on a large patio overlooking the canal. Staff were friendly. A great place to people watch.”

“I met a friend for an early evening meal at The Rake Hall, in Rake Lane, opposite Cheshire Oaks. As always at a Brunning & Price pub, standards were high. The staff were brilliant, very attentive, & the food was excellent. The Powder Room is excellent too. It's upstairs, so u may need directions. There are tables outdoors too, if u prefer fresh air. We were there, inside, on a Friday evening & the place was packed. At a long table next to ours, a family birthday party was in full swing. And, it was clear that many others were there celebrating the beginning of the weekend. The menu is broad in selection & prices. I ordered pork steak + veg & my friend had a steak. The food was excellent. We were both delighted with the meal & the service. I can recommend Rake Hall for an evening of good food, a very pleasant ambience & excellent staff. Go & enjoy.”

“Was passing through and saw this was open. I asked for haddock and chips as I wanted to try the fish and chips, the fish was really good, the batter soft and not too oily, the haddock was chunky and one of the best fish I have tasted. The chips were soft, and even after getting home, the fish and chips tasted really nice. The serving couple was very polite and served the food really quickly. It is definitely highly recommended. The price for a large fish and small chips was less than £9.”

“Wonderful food and a wonderful experience, staff are friendly and ready to serve. Food was amazing and well worth the money which is reasonable priced and suited to any budget. A must visit for any occasion. Service with a smile. Atmosphere top notch. My only criticism is they have to many tables upstairs probably to maximise space. This is not a really issues if you like a more cozy environment.”

“Really good beer and good friendly service. Bit further than my local but worth the travel”

“First class delivery, decent sized portions, hot and tasty. All seven orders correct with each drivers name on the wrapping, delivers within 30 minutes, and some freebees chucked in too. Thank you for feeding us all, we'd of gone hungry as non of us expected to be here overnight”

“Food is lovely the Vietnam combo box was gorgeous!! We ordered sides and we couldn't even finish the combo box off I was that full the portions are so generous. I would highly recommend food from here I am yet to hear a bad review. Everyone raves about it. Lovely food”

“owner is very polite and very welcoming into his shop just had the 2 14 inch pizzas and wow way better then back at home”

“The co-op is one of the best places In the estate it is easily accessible to anyone and has pretty much everything the haters are always going to do what they do best but idc what they say this is a great place with useful staff”

“Very impressed! First order from here (on Christmas Eve of all days!), we got the cheeseburger, kids burger, chicken nuggets, fries and margarita pizza and it was all really good. Nuggets and fries had a slight seasoning to them, very mildly spicy which was very tasty (and I can't handle spice so must be good!) Clearly good quality ingredients and freshly made. The prices are really good, especially for what you get. Will definitely be ordering again soon!”

“I'm a DJ and classically trained chef. Onion bhajis were perfect not too much cumin and a mild heat. Chicken passanda had a rich velvety thick sauce, mild and sweet with coconut milk. The pilau rice perfectly fluffy light with the citrus taste of cardamon running through it. Perfect from start to finish.”

“Lovely cafe, red hot food and great service”
