Reviews in Cheshire

First visit after some friends recommended to try. Newly refurbished and very tastfully decorated. Couldn't give a great rating for atmosphere because we booked for 6pm on a Wednesday, so not many people there at that time. Really enjoyed the meal and very reasonably priced. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely meal, lovely environment and great service from Jack, we will be back

delicious food and a very clean and well-kept place and the service was very nice. We were very pleased and we will definitely come back there more than once.

Went for a mix week visit as a table of 5. The food and the service was very good. The staff where very friendly and most on the night came to the table. The menu was good value and we will definitely be back.

The food was excellent. Service was really good, considering how busy they were. (Not surprising due to how good the food was.) I very much recommend this place. Once you've been, you'll keep coming back.

One of our favourite places in Chester! A must if you’re looking for a lovely date night spot

We visited The Royal Oak on Sunday 3rd July and were very pleased that it was a Sunday Roast on the menu as we didn't see this on the website. They were a little slow in taking the orders (only to be expected as new staff finding their way around) but it was definitely worth the wait. We booked our table for 2pm and everything on the menu was available. We had the prawn cocktail and short rib bon bons for starters and roast beef to follow. Everything was cooked to perfection! Roast beef was delicious and tender and the veggies cooked perfectly and not swimming in butter! We will definitely be visiting again in the very near future. Well done to all the team, you made our first visit a welcoming one!

Sunday lunch 3rd July Attended the pub on the above date and found the experience quite mixed. When we arrived we were told that half of the starter menu was no longer available (however an alternative was offered). Service was quite slow and had to wait over half an hour for the main course after the starter. However, the biggest issue was the fact that the regular menu (found on your website) was not available on a Sunday. This would’ve been ok had this been advertised on your website and to make it clear that there is a set menu on a Sunday. Also, if you are willing to offer the vegan burger option as an alternative to the Sunday roast, then please can you cater for people who are not vegans and wish to be offered the choice of a regular burger please? I also noticed on your website menu that you offer a vegan lasagne and vegan cottage pie, but no traditional lasagne or cottage pie? It is obviously a very good move to cater for vegan customers to which no sensible person would have an issue with, including myself, but not everyone in today’s world is vegan, or wants to eat vegan food, so surely it isn’t too much to ask to offer the traditional non-vegan alternatives to what are very popular pub meal options. Your pub is beautiful, wonderful setting in an incredible building and grounds, just please offer more choice and cater for all customers.

visited on Saturday. me and my partner . I had seafood stew squid overcooked very chewy. My partner had lamb chops two out of four very tough when asked did complaint. three time no response. ordered a dessert very disappointed over priced small portion. sorry three times told about meal no response to any nor good customer service .We will not be returning

I echo the sentiments of the reviews. The main problem as I see it is that their needs to be more staff for a busy night like Saturday. Lovely place.

Once again , another lovely meal at Elmas who provide fine food with friendliness and ambience. The decor is beautiful and makes for a very relaxing experience.

The meal was lovely, staff very friendly the only thing was the service was slow

sat by teh serving desk both had the Kleftiko and it was delicious and so so tender and then had the sundaes for afters . Really nice place nice and clean andthe girls seving us were really nice and helful, thanks we will definately be back

Have eaten here a few times now, you have to wait a little while for your food but it’s because it is all freshly cooked to order, it’s hot and of very good quality. Always have a very good meal

We came for lunch, all the food was amazing and couldn’t fault it at all!! The lunch menu was Well worth the money and the staff were so friendly and nice, overall a great experience thank you.

So glad this restaurant is now open, a great addition to the area. Overall a lovely meal. It felt like staff were still getting used to things, they got tables and our order a little confused and couldn't really advise on food choices but they were so friendly and willing to help. The pub and dining area is beautiful. We can't wait to visit again to make use of the outdoor area.

WOW!!! Food was superb. Great menu and the staff could not have been more attentive. An intimate meal for 2 or a party can be catered for. Took the girlfriend and we both loved it and vowed we’d happily come back. Just us 2 or with friends

We came for a meal for my husband's birthday yesterday for lunch and the food was amazing. Amazing service too. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Babba didn't disappoint, we will be back again soon!
