This is a nice pub to pop into on a day out in Chester. There is lots of outdoor seating (with…read moreheaters) and a children's play area. Inside is also quite nice with a sports 'area' with LCD TV and 2 other main areas. The food is basic but nice, ok for a quick bite or a cheap meal out. Drinks are reasonably priced too. Seems clean enough. Lots of free parking outside so it's handy to nip in for lunch on the way past. They do a weekly curry night here, where you can order a curry and a pint (or wine) for around £6 which is quite popular.

We were told by the manager if we didn't like it to drink up and go, for free mind you but then ripped a bottle from the grasp of a 73 year old lady in our party. Extremely aggressive manager. Will not be going again. Oh, by the way, one of our party was is wheelchair bound.....such a wonderful person this manager was huh!!!!!

Lovely views of Chester racecourse and offer vouchers given on paying for future use (sadly we'll not be back in time...) but great marketing. The clean toilets were a credit to the cleaner/s and I complimented the Manager. coming from a hospitality background, I know many places fall down on scuzzy toilets that either smell of wee or too much bleach or a combination of them both! The Architects deserve serious paise. Clean toilets mean a clean kitchen. This place certainly exceeded my high expectations which is rare these days. We'll certainly be back next year!

You expect to see buccaneers clustered round the tables muttering darkly or a Navy official to be dropping the King's shilling into flagons.
