Lunch in Chester

“So, first we went to another local restaurant, which didn't have a Christmas dinner ready at lunch time the first day of offering. Anyway, we thought we'd try and get in Nelson's, even though we knew it would be quite busy. The car park was quite full, but even though we had come in two cars, we found parking and went in. Christmas lunches were in full effect and the dine area was full and we couldn't get a party of three until 90 mins later. However, we could sit and be served in the lounge straight away, so we did that. We had the turkey dinner pictured and it was delicious, lots of food and everything was cooked to perfection. The gravy was lovely too. We then had a chocolate and toffee cheesecake for dessert and that was also delicious and a decent portion with a little scoop of ice cream. The staff were great and our waiter had an attention to detail I wasn't expecting. Overall I would recommend highly. My preconceived thoughts were it's going to be pretentious, but it really wasn't.”

“Good value for money good portion size Food tastes really good Been here for generations . We have never had a poor meal”

“Amazing lunch yesterday! Greeted by a very friendly and lovely lady. Overall the place had a nice chilled atmosphere. Excellent service from friendly staff. Food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Nice vegetarian choice for my daughter who normally struggles to find options she likes. Mochas and hot chocolate were out of this world. If we didn't live far away we'd be here all the time!”

“We were waiting for train back to Liverpool and taking our pups to the park for a run. Walked past Costa and thought we would get a cuppa. With us having the pups we sat outside. We finished and then went the bathroom. We were informed then that Hoole Costa had become dog friendly and we could have gone inside. Always good to know when you have a dog.”

“Great find off the beaten track alongside a canal. This spot offers a great relaxing atmosphere with comfortable indoor or outdoor seating and friendly staff. Great selection of Gin's and beers on offer, we didnt have food here so cant comment there. Well worth the visit. While in Chester, this a must visit.”

“To be fair, it was a sunny day so we sat outside. However er, the service was great and the chef very accommodating. Thank you.”

“This cafe makes the best cheese cake I have ever tasted. A lovely cafe with great, homemade produce”

“Had a table for 2 on Sunday 24/08 at 3.30pm. Arrived slightly ahead of time. Table ready. Food delivered in a timely fashion. Wow! Good home cooked Sunday roast. We couldn’t finish it! Staff excellent and friendly! Pub is great and would recommend!”

“Great food and great customer service best kebab house in Chester by far. 100% recommend”

“What a gem. Hadn't booked but they kindly fitted us in, and I'm glad we went. The food was spectacular with a great choice from the menu. Only down side was that I was a little disappointed with the amount of vegetables/ potatoes that came with it. Easily resolved by ordering some more, but it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Staff were polite and helpful, and although the restaurant was fully booked, we weren't at time made to feel that we had to go. Would easily recommend to anyone who comes to Chester and fancies an Italian.”

“We ordered in the takeaway on Thursday and was served by a sweet lady (who we assumed was Ruby). Service with a smile, and so so cute! The food was so tasty and such a great value for money. We aren't from the Chester area and were staying at a nearby hotel and we are glad we came across this place on google. The foo young was absolutely delicious. Thank you Ruby and all !! X”

“Absolutely delicious food Fairly priced Quirky decor Great hospitality friendly helpful staff Tasty cocktails Best food I have had in a while and will definitely be recommending.”

“Fast, friendly service in a bright, airy and modern takeaway. Food tastes fantastic, and is reasonably priced. On one wall has a grid of dishes and sauces with what allegens they each have - useful if you are gluten intolerant to find food you can have :) Highly recommend.”

“I recently shot a party in the function room. The staff were amazing and so friendly. And the food was on another level! The couple who hired me said that the food was one of the most important things to them, and that The Cornerhouse was renowned for their sharing boards. They were NOT wrong!!”

“First time using this Chinese today since moving onto the new estate and it will be our new favourite! Food was delicious and full of flavour and good portion sizes”

“Lovely place, just simple good food. Be sure to order an espresso as they make superb coffee. Very friendly staff.”

“Service was great! As soon as we walked in we were approached by a nice young gentleman with menus ready in hand. The food was excellent we ordered the tuna sandwich and a fish and chips. The tuna sandwich had enough filling on to feed a family it was great! The chips were chip shop style and they were the best chippy chips I’ve ever had. The fish was just to die for. Definitely recommend!!”

“After watching a review online we decided to give the Wednesday banquette a go and wasn’t disappointed! The food was amazing , maybe the best curry I’ve had in a while (luhari karahi) it was fresh , the naan bread must be made to order as it was piping hot and crispy , not heavy at all ! You can bring your own alcohol but the red wine was less than £10 a bottle! Great value for money Will definitely be coming back !”

“Best chippy on the wirral, food is lovely. Friendly staff and quick service, wouldn't go anywhere else.”

“Had a great morning here. Enjoyed a delicious breakfast with my lovely friends. We were well looked after by Jamie, who was so pleasant and attentive. I can highly recommend visiting the Ring o Bells, Daresbury.”

“Lovely quaint pub, would recommend calling in for a drink and a warm welcome.”

“The only top tier Chinese takeaway I've found since moving to Chester earlier this year. Never eaten in at the restaurant itself, as I tend to just ordered online. They have a really good app with great deals. Really nice food and fresh, delivery is quick. Thank you!”

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

“I enjoy the food every time I visit. I typically stick to the same few items, and have never been let down. The staff are super friendly and pretty efficient in getting orders out. However, the atmosphere can be a little dull, as most will get takeaway/it won’t be as busy as the McDonald’s next door!”

“Really good vegan options. This is our parent's local take away which we previously couldn't go to for lack of options for us, but they have expanded the menu. Lots to choose from. The veg Singapore vermicelli and tofu curry were delicious. Will definitely order from there regularly from now on :)”

“Nice cafe in a good location. Some seating outside if the weather is good. Food and drinks are good quality and affordable. Nice selection of breakfast options and cakes.”

“Amazing service. I forgot to get his name but he was so friendly and chatty. Nothing was too much for him. Food was quick although it was quiet so can't speak for busier times. Food was absolutely gorgeous. I am not a spicy food person but it was so tasty. Portions are huge so was able to take it home in a takeaway box. Coffee was lovely and really enjoyed the ice tea. Boyfriend had the steak which he said was great and he is fussy with food so must be good! 25% student discount also! Will definitely be returning soon thanks!”

“What a place to have food and drink! Amazing! This must have been where the monks used to eat. We had the winter vegetable soup. Nice not salty. Atmosphere is really fine.”
