The pub is cosy and friendly, and in a great location for walkers and cyclists on the Tissington trail.

AMAZING!!! As far as I remember this place has won pub food…read moreof the year ever year since Ive lived in the area. Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.

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.

What a cracking find. The place had real character and even for a Monday lunchtime was very well patronised. No wonder. The service was excellent; the young chap behind the bar was extremely welcoming and was great with our 2 year-old granddaughter (note: child friendly, although a few high chairs would have been a bonus). The food was well prepared and far more than we could eat. The menus were extensive and provided good value for money. A nice little touch was having the menus pasted into the insides of different books, guides, reference books and even story books for the kids. Overall, a pleasant experience. If we are in the Chester area in the future, we will certainly be back, and I suggest if you, the reader of this review are near there, you give it a try, too; you won't regret it.
