The plates were huge and the meal was very hot and well cooked, again home made quality food. There was no offers on like 2 meals for £10 but the meals ranged from £8 - £14. There was a good variety to select including vegetarian meals and childrens meals. The pub is large and lots of oak tables and oak beams very country feel to it. The stamford Inn has a large carpark outside and is just situated of the A56 from chester near to helsby/tarvin. The staff were friendly and polite. Quick service. I cant fault it one bit all meals arrived quickly & all together considering we as individual couples all ordered separately. There is a large pub garden out the back and drinks aren;t pricey either. Very highly recommended.

There was more mash than I would've wanted or expected and thus one star loss and the warm ale lost another star but overall it was pretty damn good. I would go back again and again if I lived in the area just to try the different menu dishes. I hope they do well, I heard it's been a tough location for business with a change of ownership of about 3-4 times. Good luck on them, their food is worth the visit.

The pub is really spacious inside and the decor is nice - a little continental perhaps, antique touches here and there. But for us the open-plan layout gave it a complete lack of atmosphere, which was most disappointing. we also sat there and decided it felt like a railway bar (albeit a plush continental one). We found the menu to be a little limited. I suppose this is because everything is cooked from fresh and certainly the quality of the food was great, far better than many pubs where you feel your meal has just been warmed through by an inexperienced cook. We opted for Angus burgers, which were good quality and well cooked. Sadly we were not inspired when it came to desserts and left after the main course. Perhaps it is because we went with such high hopes after the Blue Strawberry that we came away feeling a little disappointed. Certainly there is nothing wrong with the foxcote Inn, the service and food were all good, and we felt it would make a good venue for family lunches as it feels like an adult surrounding yet children are catered for with their own menu, and the space means you are not in too close proximity with other diners. We will certainly go and give it another try at some point, but are not rushing back as we thought we would.

When I told the member of staff no apology was given, she did take the food away and brought me a fresh plate.

The Faulkner Arms has recently been updated to be much more of a 'city bar' - even though it's…read morelocated in Hoole just outside the city centre. The drinks are reasonable and the atosphere is nice - particularly on cold winter evenings. But the real draw here is the food - in particular the pizzas and burgers. They have quite a few deals including buy one get one free on certain nights for pizza - and this makes them not only delicious but also great value. This is probably my favourite pub/bar outside the city centre and I've been back many times for the food. They also do 'staff discount' deals with a lot of local employers which makes it even more of a destination.

Without doubt, the main plus point of this pub is the value for money it offers. The prices are incredibly cheap, the portion size is good, and the quality doesn't suffer too badly. The service isn't the best though, as while the young waiters and waitresses are polite and personable, they have been extremely understaffed everytime I have gone there, one of which was an extremely busy bank holiday. So, providing you go there with reasonable expectations and are prepared to wait for your food then I'm sure you'll enjoy a decent meal out that wont break the bank.

It has very Wetherspoonsy vibes to it without the dirt cheap price tag with a decent sized beer garden at the back. My last visit here was back in March where I chose to wait here for a friend. We decided to get a cocktail each and a couple of small plates to share as we were going swimming shortly. The bar lady made us the worst Long Island ice tea that has ever touched my lips and said they were out of straws. When the concoction arrived at the table I asked for a spoon and a bowl to fish out the ice so I could drink it without getting knocked out by the icecubes. When I ordered the small plates (x5 for £10 I think? She asked me if I was aware that the jalapeño mozzarella sticks contained jalapeños..I said I would be disappointed if they didn't. Other nibbles included chicken wings, squid, chicken goujons and nachos. To be fair it was all okay. Overall a ideal place to come while you wait for the train but the service can make you feel part of a pantomime sometimes!
