Reviews in Chester

I visited La Fattoria in Chester on the 29th July 2013 to celebrate my birthday. My family and I were made to feel very welcome by the chatty friendly staff. We all had a three course meal and the portions especially the pasta dishes were very generous and the whole meal was exceptionally good value for money. I will definitely revisit this lovely restaurant.

visited last month for family occasion!! decided to try sunday lunch today 05/08/12 it was nice on a family occasion but sunday lunch today was inedible! very disappointed! as a caterer myself i was appalled

A group of 11 of us went to the Bunbury for a colleague's leaving party. We were all very impressed with the quality and quantity of the meals served. The options picked ranged from a greek salad to paella, seared salmon, fish and chips and liver and onions. Everybody enjoyed their choices - freshly cooked and served piping hot. The waitress service was first class. A very good time was had by all and we shall all be returning with our own families. Well done the Bunbury!

We could not fault the service or quality of food we ate.My steak was done to perfection and my wifes lamb was beautiful her words not mine, I would recommend without hesitation 10 out of 10

One star is being generous as I would happily give this place no stars. My wife and I ordered food (I had a jacket potato and my wife had a wrap). We waited for nearly an hour until one of the barstaff came to us and apologised, stating that our order had not been put through and that she will get the chefs to put the order through extra quickly.When our food eventually arrived my jacket potato was raw throughout, hard when prodded with a fork. I notified one of the staff, who apologised, asked if I wanted anything else. I ordered a wrap and stated that I was not prepared to pay for my order. The member of staff stated that I would not have to pay for the jacket potato.My wrap arrived after a further 20 minutes. We ate it quickly and then went to pay. My wife and I were shocked that we were asked to pay for my extra wrap, as there had been nothing wrong with it. I stated that the wrap should have been complimentary for our wait and the raw potato. The staff looked at me as though I had insulted them. After a moment of awkwardness, the lady in charge stated that she could only take 10 off the bill.If you want a decent pub meal with an acceptable level of service, I recommend that you avoid this place.

i would be very interested in receiving any special offers. Many thanks

Eaten here twice within a few weeks and ended up with food poisoning on both occasions. Had chicken wings to start on first occasion and the chicken was off. I sent it back and was told that the chef said it wasn't off! I think I can tell when chicken is off or not. I went to tell the barman in case they sold more to others. A few hours later I was violently ill. The second time was last night, I had scampi and thought the first piece tasted a bit odd but didn't complain, again I was violently ill when I got home. Its a nice place for a drink but please do not eat here.

Went to their supper club night - 5 courses for £13.95, everything was delicious, you weren't rushed through the meal, or having to leave the table at the end of the meal, service was great, highly recommended

Good food but far too often over charging for food. Approx. 15 visits and at least 5 times the bill has had items that should not have been there (normally £10 to £20's worth of items - so well worth the mention). Real shame.

April 1st Just had a meal at the Bunbury Arms. On entering thought nice pub, and it is, barman pleasant said food was still being serves but only had roast chicken Sunday roast left. Sat down looked at interesting menu,saw a Sunday chicken dinner go past, looked nice so ordered two of those. After about 20 minuets our food arrived, chicken was fine, but rest of it was very poor, veg was over microwaved, not salted and tasteless and hard, roasts and Yorkshire pudding all that was edible. So we left most of meal. Shame as place was busy and as only a few minutes from home would have become our local

Found Bistro Blu by chance after having lunch by the river at Blue Moon. Food was something of a revelation, how can this rather out of the way place get it so very right. The place was packed, no recession on here, but with the food on offer who could resist such offerings. My partner started with a Soft shell crab, never eaten this before but now a convert, I had mussels in cider again yummy. For mains I had Kleftico and as I am a Greek lover at heart it was superb cooked as it should be in a foils bag at the table, Partner had burger, but it was a rather large and very well cooked wild boar burger sitting on a shelf of smoked bacon and grilled cheese, served with huge chips.

We have just discovered The Naggs Head and we had a lovely meal served by a very professional staff all of whom have been well trained.>I had a wonderful soup of tomatoes and red peppers with a hint of I think chilli, It was the best I have had for a while, Then I tried the local red Polli beef this also was cooked to my liking nice and pink,huge yorky pud and veg and pots well cooked. we will be coming again with friends, It a great venue,

Had lunch here today lovely welcome. The food was excellent had a berry mess for sweet that was to die for.The pubs decor and furnishings are very easy on the eye. good luck to you all on your refurbishment

My boyfriend and I visited Chester recently and stumbled across the gem of all steak restaurants. The New Blossoms Hotel hosts a steak and grill restaurant with a modern, contemporary feel. We were shown to a booth and ordered a very nice glass of shiraz. The menu included most pub classics such as fish and chips but we opted for steak as after all this is their speciality. I choose an 8oz sirlion, which was the special offer of the day, whilst my boyfriend the ribeye (his favourite!). Both were accompanied by home cooked chips, tomato, mushroom and watercress. We ordered a bearnaise sauce on the side and a mixed salad. The food was absolutely outstanding the steak was the best we have tasted by far. The restaurant was deserted, which was a treat as it was my boyfriend's birthday! The atmosphere was very relaxed and the staff were very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be visiting Chester again even if just to visit the grille restaurant I would highly recommend this to anyone.

This is truly the best Chinese food I've ever tasted! Friendly staff and super fresh produce combine to give an experience worth a million dollars. it's not cheap but you get what you pay for in an easy-going setting. I won't go anywhere else when I'm celebrating anything.

Well this was the first time I've visited since it reopened having been recommended by neighbour. I ordered Chicken tikka I must say I've never had one like that in my life, the chicken was not cubed the veg chunky loads of tomatoes and peppers no curry type flavour at all, when I asked had I been give the wrong meal the lovely young lady said she'd take it back and check? was then told by a very rude man that's how they made it there from tika paste? the desserts were the saving grace of my celebration meal,

I have been twice recently to the Nags Head for a meal. Excellent food quality and service. Red Poll beef is excellent. If you just want a drink there is a lovely lounge area with comfy sofas and warm fire and TV if you want it.
