I cannot praise the Chimneys enough it is amazing and I love it, evening meal or lunch. Free coffee refils and believe me the coffee is gorgeous (unusual for a pub). Great range of meals and they change their menu with the seasons. You have to try their chicken and bacon sandwich may not sound exciting but WOW it's fantastic. Also their homemade beef burgers are delicious. Open fire really adds to the cozy atmosphere and along with the delightful staff and I mean all of them they are a joy and whenever I'm thinking of going out to eat this is always one of my top choices. read more

I love this pub. My friend and I ate here a couple months back, and I absolutely adored the experience. It's almost like being a really big, warm friendly house. They Web site doesn't tell, but I think that it actually used to be a large house. There are a couple of fireplaces, and in the winter they have real log fires burning. The food was delicious--real home cooked British meals, including a variety of vegetarian choices on the menu. The wait staff and bar tender were very friendly, and it was really enjoyable chatting with some of them. This is a great place to take guests visiting from other countries as it's a very traditional, English experience. I would definitely eat here again, and highly recommend it. read more

Great pub, it was my introduction to the Sunday British pub roast and it was very good. More food than I could eat and great ales on kask.

I used to eat here a lot as the food was always good value. I have not eaten here as much lately, as I feel the quality has declined slightly but not enough to put me off ever going back. The ambience is so nice especially if you sit near the open fire. There is a good selection of food on the menu and they have daily specials. The prices are not bad as you do get a lot of food for your money. The staff are friendly and it's so easy to find just of the M53, there is also lots of parking and an outdoor area for a refreshing drink in the summer. read more

The chimney's is a fantastic place. It is now run by a manager who is passionate about the standard and service at the Chimney's; it has also benefited from an up to date refurbishment. The food is just top class. The prices are good too with a wide range of prices to cover all tastes and pockets. It is the only restuarant/pub in the area that we eat at and I never get bored of the menu because there are frequent updates on daily specials on both main course and puddings. Highly recommended! read more

Ate here at the weekend with my family and I have been coming here for years. Love the place and I see it as a pub of two halfs...The main 'pub' bit where the fire is and comfy sofas and the conservatory bit which is just given over to pure dining. Feel they could do a wee bit more to make the conservatory more pub-like so you don't feel pressurised to have food in there when you only fancy a pint but even so, I love this place. read more

A fantastic place for a meal, but not until this year. I would recommend the stakes particularly here. Good atmosphere with open fires in winter. The drinks here are particularly well priced to entice people in. The variety of places to sit here is great along with the decor, there is a large 'conservatory' area when it's sunny and snug areas in the back when it's cold. Easy access on foot from hooton rail station if needed after one too many beers. Good car traffic links as it's right on the road running up the wirral. read more

Excellent food, friendly, cosy atmosphere and reasonable prices as well.

Only eaten here once but thought that it was worth a mention as there were about 15 of us and it was short notice. The food was of an excellent standard and the service was quick without being pushy and hurried. We would definately go back and probably will do in the near future. read more

RE: The Chimneys in Hooton Green, Wirral Well, let's put it this way: When I ordered a couple of choux buns, I was not thinking in terms of footwear, but after no less than a twenty minute (2 cigarette) wait after the main, they must have been thinking along those lines. I figure it was about as close to leather as a dessert can get, even the knife I had to use had problems getting through it, so if you're in need of any quality footwear at any time, just pop along to The Chimneys and see if they've got a couple of old boots tucked away in the back of the freezer, cos that's what I got. The main course was expensive for the quality of the food - especially liked the crinkled stale peas - when I can get twice as good elsewhere for half the price - and I enjoyed playing spot the "scampi" (if it's possible to call it "scampi") inside the breadcrumb cases - and I guess the flies buzzing round the table constantly must've found something of interest on the plate, so at least one or two of us were happy. The interesting thing about the flies was: They generally seemed to appear when someone came out of the kitchen, so I figure they must have a nice little home in there. And if you think the cutlery looks clean, you'd be right. Only it's best to mention how the flies like to land on it and buff it up a little, so perhaps that's why it has a nice sheen on it. The menu, under this new management, is a lot more restricted than previously. It has the look of one of those stylish wipe-clean menus that you find in department store cafes, and uniquely provides you with the option of upgrading your dinner. For example, you can upgrade your chips from lean and undercooked to fatter and presumably just as undercooked. You may even be able to upgrade the rest of your dinner, from greasy spoon to transport caf for instance. And perhaps even your waiting staff, from lazy-sour-and-useless to competent-and-on-the-ball. A few years back, under different management, with nice waiting staff who were not too busy networking on Facebook to bother whacking plates on tables, and with a different chef who had the uncanny ability to cook something which could be classed as edible, it was good and deserved a 4 out of 5 rating. As of 2012 and 2013, you may be inclined to feel that you've been fleeced out of £30 at the very least. I'd give it 0 out of 5 but that isn't an option I'm afraid. Incidentally, I've seen a review raving about the good access on road and rail links, and I agree totally, because you'll be wanting them to get the hell out of there as quickly as possible. So on the whole, if you're looking for a little entertainment value and don't mind paying through the nose for the amusement of laughing at what you're eating and the incompetent, misery-faced sloths you're being served by, this could be the one for you. I'm surprised they don't serve up that 3-year old fermented fish that you can get in Japan (as featured on An Idiot Abroad 2). Takes about that length of time for the dinner to get transported from the pan to the table. Also, it's a real bonus if you're the type who is inclined to go rooting through skips at the back of supermarkets looking for the odd tossed-away nibble. This food will be manna from heaven for you. Don't forget your doggy bag. I can guarantee your dog will love it! Clearly the chef has no idea of his own worth. Who said he was only good for spuds? I challenge them to take that back. He can do fried pineapple too. Jamie Oliver beware! read more
