Pub in Chester

“Great drinks selection available, and a good atmosphere. Nice place for a couple drinks before continuing your night. It gets very busy on weekends and race days , but we always enjoy coming here”

“Went in on probably one of the busiest days. The first pint of Boltmaker was a bit cloudy,but the barman quickly poured another for me and the rest were delicious. Considering the crowds, the food service was quick and the food nice. No problem getting serviced either at the bar.”

“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.”

“Lovely afternoon tea with the family on a beautiful spring day. The afternoon tea selection was excellent - everything very fresh and beautifully presented. We then spent time in the wonderful grounds with so much space for the grandkids to run around and lots of different activity installations to keep them entertained”

“Lovely friendly lass behind the bar. Great meals at low prices, and a lively sunny spot to sit!”

“It's a lovely pub, just benefited from a full refurbishment staff are friendly and they have karaoke every Friday, Saturday, night brilliant atmosphere”

“Nice local bar, friendly pub on outskirts of town”

“This was a superb pub for drinking, with a bright and well styled interior! The pillars and boxed seating in some areas are really nice, counter is well-presented too. Christmas decorations are pretty and toilets were fine, cleanliness as a whole is consistent. I had a tasty Chicken Tikka Masala with rice and seating is comfortable, table was well kept too!”

“Always good for a very good pint, good social location vibrant. This pub also has an enclosed private beer garden with TV's so you can watch your footie or Rugby game in the sun. Good clean venue”

“Lovely place, especially for the price. I used it onky as a hotel, and while the music does travel through the windows a bit making it a little loud if you're hoping to get an early night, everything else was great”

“As a harry myself I say it's v good”

“Restaurant was busy but the service was still top notch . We had chicken melt , mixed grill and a children’s spaghetti bolognese . Food came out quite quick and was really nice . Emma served us and as always was very attentive and chatty. Atmosphere always friendly and upbeat . This is why we always come back.”

“Loved the food. Good menu and excellent hosts”

“Recently been renovated but still keeps it's charm as a good community pub. Excellent job. Nice friendly staff and good beer.”

“Excellent evening at Bottomless brunch, food and drink really good and very attentive service from Luke! Thanks”

“Excellent pub food at a reasonable price. Food was cooked just right. Portion size was suitable for the type of meal. Excellent service and attention to making sure everything was OK.”

“Attached to the Premier Inn, and the place to eat food when you stay here. Staff are great and friendly but many people are in this part of the world. Good food hot and serves quickly. Ideal for what we needed after a long drive to the Wirral. Good links to Heswall and other areas of the Wirral and through the tunnels to Liverpool.”

“The best Indian in Chester by a long way. The food is consistently excellent. The service friendly and unfussy. The chef is awesome. We eat curry regularly all around the country and there are few that can match City Spice and its extremely rare a meal exceeds them. Forget Rusholme and Brick lane, this is the best.”

“8 of us visited today for Christmas Dinner, the food was outstanding along with the friendly staff and the service was amazing too. Kids and adult meals where faultless, usually have Christmas dinner at another restaurant which was £30 more per meal and this was better by far! Highly recommend the burleydam brewers fayre”

“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.”

“Great place for a slap up breakfast to start your day, staff very happy to see you, great welcome by the lady on the morning reception. Fantastic selection of different breakfast options available. Cant wait to pass again.”

“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.”

“Booked a VIP booth for a hen party in the Manhattan room - staff on the door were lovely, our drinks were great with plenty of ice/glasses. Party sparklers in the champagne bucket on arrival, a nice touch. Staff regularly checked everything was OK for us and were really helpful. Great night of dancing till 3am on a race day we definitely made the most of it!”

“Have been in hospitality since the age of 18. Never done anything else, with the hope of one day having my own pub. Which I have had for over a year now with admiral Taverns. It hasn't all been smooth sailing but dealing with admirals has been good. But the praise has to go towards the area manager I have Greg Bedfordshire. He listens. And anything that is within his power to help with he will!! Honestly the guy has gone above and beyond with the levels of support provided. And you really do get a sense that he has your back. A year and a half in to our tenancy. And loving it. And appreciate the backing we have from the pub co. Jane and Claire at credit control as well, willing to help. Tough at times when they have to be but 100% fair!!”

“My husband and I were passing through Chester and decided to have a light lunch and afew drinks in the Garden Room. We just loved the walled garden, full of atmosphere. I had a gluten free club sandwich - did the job....needed some gherkins and onions, and relish to elevate the taste....considering we were in a 4 star hotel I thought it would be more crafted. However the the drinks from the bar were fantastic and the young waiter Max who served us was so professional.....someone give him a payrise!!”
