Reviews in Cheshire

The food is excellent at Chopstix - freshly cooked, and you don't get that horrible morning after MSG taste in your mouth! However, expect to pay more than average (which is fair given the quality of the food) and beware - the waiters will ply you with alcohol!!

Minshull's offer a range of traditional home-cooked food in a nice cosy environment at a very reasonable price. Different from the usual Garden Centre cafe as it is waitress service and the girls were very polite & friendly. Try their Welsh Rarebit on Doorstep toast it's delicious followed by one of the yummy homemade scones and a cappuccino.

Lovely lovely lovely! Went here in August and it was gorgeous! Really nice atmosphere, relaxed and not formal (tho it was bank holiday Monday at around 5pm but it was busy). Friendly staff all of which were italian (sounds odd but i have been to some "italians" where the staff including the chefs are English, so hence they cant cook "real" italian food)! Couldn't fault anything, there was 7 of us and everything was delicious! Have returned since and have recommended to friends who were all equally impressed!

this is just the best in Chester have been many times since it opened the staff are wonderful the food fantastic but the booking system does not work if you want to queue its worth the wait

I had not been for a while, but last Friday had the best Chinese in ages. Excellent service, food was so tasty but couldn't eat it all so took a doggy bag home which microwaved beautifully Would thoroughly recommend, although a little price. Good for once in a while or a treat. House red wine also excellent.

How nice to see this lovely pub sympathetically refurbished after years in the doldrums. The new tenants have created a warm and friendly atmosphere, with the promise of open fires in the winter. The Robinson's beer is well kept and there's a decent, although short, wine list. But I suspect it will be the food that makes the Dun Cow's reputation. It is simply exquisite - none better in the whole of Cheshire! I would recommend you visit and see for yourselves.

Perfection is possible! Visited last Saturday evening and it was just lovely. The food was delicious, the ambience fantastic and the decor - I want to copy for home! The food melts in your mouth, the waitresses were there when you needed them and not when you didn't! We went on a Saturday , £29.95 for three courses - worth the money. They have a special on Sunday lunch as well which looks extremely good value. I imagine you would have to book well in advance for that though. Well worth a trip - you won't be disappointed.

We booked a table for about 8.30 on a Friday night, the place has a lively atmosphere but the piped music was rather too loud, it was necessary to shout in order to converse. The staff are friendly and efficient and the food was of good quality. I went for the crispy duck legs and my wife had some scallops. The portion sizes for the small mains were far too small. The dish said 'scallops', there were two! Call me picky if you like but that is a mean serving. I had a Peroni beer to drink and was charged nearly £6, thats a mark up of more than 3 which is greedy on the part of the owners. The restaurant has a chain feel even though it is independent. In summary it is quite nice but significantly overpriced. I would not hurry back

Fabulous little restaurant offering a good selection of vegetarian and non vegetarian food. The service was first class, the decor welcoming, the atmosphere very relaxed and the food absolutely superb. Of all the restaurants we had tried this beats them all for freshly cooked, beautifully presented and fantastic blend of delicate flavours. A little gem right on our doorstep. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Would like to Join you in your comment with regards to the excellent food and Cask beers also the kids had a great time in the gardens overlooking Jodrell Bank A good day out

Visited the Hinds Head today with a friend for lunch as the pub always looks great from the outside. You had to search for a menu & got the feeling that by ordering food you would be putting them to too much trouble. Not the warmest of welcomes I've experienced unfortunately & only one bar staff although it was a Mon lunchtime. Food bland & not that cheap either, will drive by next time.

My partner and I travelled by train from Manchester to have lunch on 11/09/2009. The pub was clean, cosy and nicely set out. The staff were friendly and attentive without being over the top. We ordered from the 2 course Market fresh menu. My partner ordered the Aberdeen Angus steak burger which he said "was really nice and meaty" the accompanying salsa was lovely as I couldn't resist a taste. I ordered the fish cakes, with Cheshire potatoes and salad. Very fresh and tasty and a nice change from the usual "chips with everything" For dessert I tucked into the apple and plum lattice ordered with lovely ice-cream whilst my partner satisfied his sweet tooth with the strawberries, meringue and cream. He washed this down with a pint of Dizzy Blonde and Tit for Tat (Robinson's), which he says were equally good. Satisfied we headed for the train home. Definitely worth a try!

brilliant service, excellent food at amazingly competitive prices. Fun atmosphere. I've been going for many years, and its always been consistently up to high standards. very recommended!

DONT BOTHER GOING !!! Food Uncooked - To the Point of Raw. Staff Extreamly Rude and Aggresive when making a valid complaint. Wont be eating here again and will make sure that everyone we know doesnt either ! Will be reporting to Trading Standards.

My wife and I visited today for the first time. We really enjoyed a meal in the tea rooms. The attention from the staff was first class as was the freshly prepared food for which we did not have to wait too long. The farm store itself is stocked with a great variety of good local produce some of which we purchased. We also got a tour of the B&B facilities with prices that are affordable to our relatives visiting from Australia in the near future. We would highly recommend a visit to Hopley House and will definitely be going back for more.

Went last Saturday night, very busy I think booking is essential on weekends and they rang me up in the morning to check I was coming! Good atmosphere if a bit pretentious. Service ok but waitress quite curt. The food is good but fairly pricey for what it is - the mains are cooked beautifully but you have to choose from a fairly boring range of sides, whereas I would rather be served what the chef thinks goes best. We all ended up having chips! More thought should also be given to the 'dessert selection plate' - although good value for sharing we didn't think the four puddings went particularly well together. Nice place, but I wouldn't rush back.

I live close to the jahan and this time last year would probably have said it was my favourite restaurant in the area. What on earth has gone wrong?? We liked it so much last last year that we booked up for New Year's eve which was a complete shambles and we got our money back, along with many others - it was apparent there was no one in charge. Went back last night for the first time. There was one other couple in there at 10.15 on a saturday night. The waiters were so rude I could hardly beleive it! I asked for the candles on the table to be lit, only to be told it was too late to be lighting candles by a very surly waiter who clearly wanted to go home. I will not be going back and judging by the attendance last night many others have made the same decision. Its a real shame because the food is excellent, and the restaurant itself is very nice inside. But there's more to a night in a restaurant that just the food, and I have eaten my last meal in the jahan.

the best pub in the town with the friendliest host and excellent cooking fabulous portions and great selection of beers for the boys and a great wine cellar, nothing bad to say about the pub, even caterers for children and a great touch of cosmetics etc in the ladies too
