There are a couple more pumps unused on this particular Friday lunchtime so maybe they serve some more beer sometimes? We shared a tasty soup for starter, the richness of which meant I could already feel that I was filling up even before my big chilli cheese burger arrived. I somehow still managed it though. It was pretty darn good and the chips that came with it were as like fish and chip shop chips as any I have encountered in a pub before. Service was excellent. The girl who served us was helpful, friendly and attentive.

The pub regularly show live football matches on a large screen at the rear of the pub as well as a number of smaller tvs situated throughout. The pub open welcomes all visitors, including supporters of rival football clubs that may be in town for a Chester match.

The bar staff are very friendly and the prices are generally a lot cheaper than other Chester establishments. Real ale on tap. Highly recommended.

It was nice to see local Chester City supporters calling in for a pint, before going to the afternoon game too. A friendly place.

Tonight I was able to have a meal with the tour group at this restaurant. The actual food and…read moreatmosphere was great! The whole ambience was very elevated and you would expect a bit more fine dining here. The meals themselves were presented beautifully and the server made sure all of our drinks came out fast and easy. The only issue tonight was how slow our appetizers, mains, and desserts were to come out of the kitchen. We sat down at 6:30 to leave at 9pm... after finally receiving dessert. For a bunch of tired travelers that's an awful long time to wait for our meal. The food itself was good, the best part was definitely the eggplant dish but they answered a call from my boyfriend from the US and took his request to write happy birthday on my dessert so that was a lovely surprise.

Avoid! Incompetency, Wrong Orders and No Resolve…read more Both of our orders were wrong, the staff did nothing to make this right. We ordered Two medium rare, when delivered to the table they said we have Two rare, begrudged as we had waited a while we had the wrong order, but then since found it wasn't rare, it was blue, and cold. The staff didn't do a thing to rectify. Would not be returning.

He…read moresaid his was terrible and that I should give it a 3 but my food was great and so was everyone else's. The waiter offered to make him a new one and then told us that he couldn't cook a burger anything other than well done! So if you like your burgers juicy- don't order one here. Other than that- the food was very good and so were the drinks. Fun atmosphere and I'm sure the building was probably 1,000 years old. So it's pretty special. Try this one out.

We wanted to sit in the couches, however the smell from the toilets from downstairs was too strong…read more We ended up sitting near the window instead. Considering that we were the only other group in the restaurant, you'd think we would have the attention of the staff. Unfortunately, they were too intent on singing and talking to each other than they were about paying attention to their customers. Do not go here if you are hungry. Not so much on the food menu.

The high street entrance has comfortable sofas ready for cocktails and catching up with friends, live music sometimes available. The market side is the restaurant. They have a pretty good selection of sharing plates, small plates, main meals, and desserts as well as a special brunch and Sunday lunch menu. The cocktail menu is impressive and not your usual fare. Our server was great and very efficient. They add a 10% service charge to the bill automatically but they do ask if you're comfortable with that before you pay.

About last night…read more.. We REALLY enjoyed this meal. We started with mushroom arancini, focaccia, oxtail stew, and seriously, all three were amazing!! I've never had ox anything, and I'm a believer now... I had beef burg for my main, hubby had the venison and dad had the halibut and all three were simply fantastic! All were perfectly tender, lean, and full of flavor with sides that complimented them perfectly. And the desserts.. chocolate lava cake with salted caramel ice cream and dad had the sticky ginger cake and dad and hubby truly enjoyed these final courses. The chocolate cake surprised us when Mark cut into it and a lovely ganache poured out.. dad said the sticky ginger cake was light, not too sweet, but nice flavor. We were beyond stuffed, but even dad said "you found a gem with this place!" We would definitely return here regularly if we lived in England!! Service was really good! Our servers were friendly and attentive. They always asked how everything was with each course and everything was correct. Even though it was packed, and there were two of them, they did a great job staying on top of everything! The ambiance... it's too packed for such an amazing experience. They will be moving and good thing because they are going to need the extra room!! It was a bit hard to hear each other when it was a full house, but when half the room cleared, it was really pleasant. Overall, best food and service experience we've had in the two weeks we've been in England, hands down. And if we lived here, this is where we would take friends and family to "wow" them!

The food here was very undercooked. The 4 times we were lucky enough to get service, we had 4 different servers who were aloof at best.
