Reviews in Chester

Sunday lunch at the Greyhound was a real treat - not the cheapest, but nor was it outrageously expensive and the food was perfection with roasties to die for! Nice people, really attentive and a lovely relaxed atmosphere - best of all a good pint of Timothy Taylors!

Have eaten here on 3 occasions since it opened in June and tried something different on each occasion, the chefs special board takes some beating and the sea bass is certainly my favourite.Going back 3 times says how much we have enjoyed the whole experience. The atmosphere and general layout of the restaurant is excellent along with the politeness and service of the staff. We have recommended to friends and family who have all visited and not been disappointed

Go and try for yourself great fresh local food at a reasonable price. Well worth a visit.

In the area on holiday and reputation drove us to try this venue and we were not let down, the food was superb, the staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble for them our small child was looked after ever so well. The wine was excellent, overall a very pleasing experience we would recommend it to anyone, enjoy the experience. Jono- Walsall

Once again have just got back from Chester and on Saturday night we had a meal and yet again was fantastic will definitely be going again next year

Have been using the Greyhound for years and its closure in 2010 was a bitter body blow. However, it has now re-opened and is a wonderful venue for food or drinks. Both myself, my wife and friends have eaten there on quite a few occasions and we have all commented on how good the food is, faultless. The staff are very attentive and polite and nothing seems too much trouble for them. A Tuesday night 'specials' night has been introduced recently, we went to the inaugural 'curry' themed night a couple of weeks ago and it was delicious and different from what we were expecting. We have booked for the 'Italian' themed night soon. All at £12.95 for a three-course dinner - Not bad. The Greyhound is highly recommended - Give it a go.

My wife and I were on holiday in the area and were recommended to come here and I'm so glad we did. We enjoyed some of the most excellent food we've ever eaten in a pub restaurant - a risotto with artichokes to die for and a tender chicken with delicious fresh vegetables. It was so good that we came back a second time. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and nice atmosphere. It's worth going out of your way to this place - it's that good. You really can't go wrong and hopefully will enjoy it as much as we did.

Loved it, loved it, loved it...... Had the XXXL monster burger (with pulled pork) and superb. Came with three members of my family and they all agreed with me. Great atmosphere and the food was stunning. Can really recommend this place to eat as the best in Chester that I have visited. Best wishes John

Went for the express lunch which was amazing and very good value! The tagliatelle with duck was fab! We returned in the evening this month and were disappointed. We were put on an awful table right by the stairs but asked to move and we were so that was ok. The food was average, the starters were poor and rather tasteless. We ordered cheese garlic bread & it came minus the cheese! The main was cold and the veg were so over roasted so the point of being mushy! It was an expensive night at £30 pp plus wine and not worth it. Really disappointed as we loved it the time before. We would possibly return but just for lunch again.

Visited after a day at Chester Zoo thanks to recommendations from this website. What can I say - great beers, & really excellent flood. Wished we lived locally. I had a steak & ale pie, with lovely fresh veg- chantel carrots, leeks, sweet red cabbage & lovely creamy mash, my wife a chicken & ham pie - both were large with a fine pastry top. Our 3 kids were impressed by the mussels & chips - a real creamy wine sauce & big thick chips, obviously double fried - golden on the outside & fluffy inside - these were the best chips I have tried in a long long time. This pub is a real find, i don't normally write a review but this pub is exceptional - real quality food, & well kept beer you won't be disappointed and well worth a diversion.

We’ve been 3 times now in the short time that it re-opened - what an improvement now that it’s under new management. There is a nice, friendly atmosphere, lovely staff (nothing is too much trouble for them) and to top it all off, the food is amazing. We’ve eaten at the weekend, mid week and yesterday went for Sunday lunch. Would recommend to anyone thinking of trying it – you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful scenery and wonderful food reasonably priced too, highly recommended

" Me and a friend popped in for a quick bite to eat and drink, the staff were most welcoming and the service was excellent "

Lovely location and great American food. Will defiantly go again.

l recently had the pleasure of taking some friends to lunch at Alfresco restaurant. We choose that one because it is so close to the cathedral.. When we arrived they were very busy but our wait was well worth it. We enjoyed Lasagna with a glass of wine and followed that with the most delicious desert. We found the price very competitive considering the quality and quantity of our meal. We were disappointed to hear they do not open for evening dinner because we would have just loved to have visited them again. We will know where to go the next time we visit your lovely city. Best Wishes Mrs Bradbury.

Stopped off here to pick up a takeaway on a Wednesday night after the pub. Restaurant looked pretty busy, but the service was good and quick, offered a drink as we waited, I like these touches. Food was ready before I could finish my beer. Got it home and weren't disappointed. Nice large portions, looked great, tasted great and nice to see in wasn't covered in grease. We will definitely visit again, probably book a table in the restaurant.

I have visited the restaurant on a number of occasions. The atmosphere is excellent. I don't feel that the food is good value for money, it is overpriced and over-rated.

Our monthly dinner club visited last night, so glad we did. Lovely setting, nice staff. Ordered our food and starter arrived within 10 mins. Pigeon was little over cooked but lovely, pate was fab also the snails yum. Main courses arrived 15 mins after starters finished all piping hot and filling the plates. Portion size can certainly not be griped at unless you order the apple pie. After such homely starters and mains expected the same from pudding but not to be with the apple pie very small and thin portion lovely custard though and sticky toffee pudding oh yes. Would certainly revisit and recommend.Excellent value for money and smashing atmosphere. Lewis Reed Dinner Club
