Reviews in Chester

My husband booked a meal at your restaurant in Chester for my 50 th birthday. The service was appalling.1. We ordered 1 bottle of red wine and 1 bottle of white When the wine came i tasted the wine which in my opion was on the warm side, only to be told by the waiter "I don't think so as it has been in the fridge for 2 days" its the glass thats warm!!!!2. Starter was fab, althought i was so looking forward to my dinner i did not have one3. As my dinner was complementary my hushaband orered the Wagu beef with a side order of field mushrooms and root veg 4. The Chips did not turn up with my hushands dinner, and when he asked they did come instantly (Hot)5. When we tasted the other food it was decidedly cold, when we questioned this we were told it had been "sitting on the pass for to long"We paid for the wine and left but my point is I was so disappointed with the service.

Stayed at caravan club site for a week and came for our last meal, having walked past the beautiful pub earlier in the week . My husband were spoilt for choice but settled for Thai fishcakes , steak and ale pie and crispy belly pork with black pudding . Then I finished with blueberry cheesecake and cream . The entire meal was delicious and well presented - home cooked food at its very best . The young staff were all very attentive and polite and friendly . We will definitely return and heartily recommend this pretty pub and restaurant . Many thanks

Great lunch today after a hard days shopping in the sun! Good food and venue.

First visit today at the Stamford Bridge inn Tarvinvery impressed with the service and quality of the food. Great atmosphere and very welcoming. Will be back.

Mum and I have just returned after having a delightful lunch at the bunbury. We had sandwiches, with an excellent glass of white wine, followed by a chocolate fudge cake with pouring cream!!. The atmosphere was homely with a lovely roaring fire. will certainly return, everything was just lovely.

First visit to the Mockingbird Taproom in Chester and had a great night. The menu has lots of interesting choices as well as the sort of Tex-Mex stuff (nachos, burgers) you might expect. I had a spicy gumbo from the main menu and my wife a prawn and chorizo jamabalaya from the specials board. Presentation is quirky and the venue is lively (with some great tunes from the DJ when we visited on Saturday evening). If there’s a group of you the central bench tables look a good bet but if you’re a 4 I would ask for one of the round tables as the oblong ones are a bit of a tight squeeze. Good selection of bottled craft beers and New World wines to complement the food.

Fab food, great service, will be going again soon. Thanks.

Just booked a table for 10 for Christmas dinner. The food is great I have been going for years and would recommend it to anybody.

My husband and I went to Bunbury Arms yesterday evening (have been going to Bunbury Arms on and off for a few years) and we both had 8oz rump steak with chips, onion rings, tomato, 2 small mushrooms and garnish and Peppercorn and Diane sauce where we paid over £32 for just 2 meals. We were both disappointed with meal in respect of garnish not being fresh and sauces were tasteless and watery and also meal seemed a bit lost on plate. We were asked if our meals were ok when we FIRST got meal (as waiting for tomato sauce) so couldn’t really comment and then asked when we finished our meal to which we informed that we were disappointed and it was the worst meal we had ever had in there. The Waitress seemed to be shocked, and we were disappointed nobody came over to discuss our disappointment.

Called for meal at 16.40 on 24/03/2015. Service was quick, food excellent as it always is when we eat there.

Attended a murder mystery night here (my first ever – I didn’t do it!) which was held on the top floor in a private dining area. It’s a lovely old warehouse-type building hidden away down a lane in the centre of Chester and the restoration appears tip-top, seamlessly blending the old with the new. The ground-floor bar area, which we only glimpsed, appeared to have a great ambience and was beautifully lit. The food was excellent too – I had a spicy prawn starter, chicken with dauphinoise and cheesecake -- although the service was a bit sporadic which I guess reflects the size of the party. Overall though, very impressive and would definitely recommend if you are visiting Chester.

Beautiful restaurant lovely food, good atmosphere what more can one say.

Enjoyed the food the staff where friendly.

Food always excellent.

Had lunch at the Bunbury this week. Food was superb and extremely good value. Excellent range of well kept beer, good range of wine by the glass. Staff were pleasant and courteous. We ARE going back to enjoy a proper English pub with home made food.

This restaurant exploits Thai workers here by work permit. They are made to work 60 hours and paid less than the minimum wage. Dont eat here it stinks of corruption and is currently under investigation for fraud by the Home Office.

Visited with my family, each of the five of us had a different dish, all of which was of a very high standard.The service was prompt and friendly, this was on a wednesday early evening, as time went on, the inn began to fill with more customers, so I think that speaks volumes. I would recommend this eatery to anyone.

Been a regular at the Lord Bining so really chuffed the New Moon Pub Company has takover Linenhall in Chester, as I now live here. looking forward to seeing what they have up their sleeve. I wonder if they will do a Beef and Pudding that they have in Manchester? That would be great!
