Fantastic stay in this old hotel. Very warm and cosy room without needing any heating on. Comfortable bed and large room. Staff very friendly and helpful. Added advantage being right in city centre next to the Christmas markets. Handy being able to leave luggage during the stay whilst wandering round this ancient city. Would highly recommend
Fantastic service , staff are amazing and attentive. The food was stunning and tasty. We had the 2 courses for 2 people for £40 and worth every penny. So good weve already booked to go back for the christmas menu.
Amazing breakfast experience here. Ordered the full English which was lovely. Waitress couldn’t do enough for us, checked to make sure we had drinks cutlery and sauces. Very very good service
Would recommend this lovely venue. Service was very good and the food was excellent. We came for our friend's linda and Claire birthdays. Our party organiser was Tanya Hickman.
We didn't stay over but the food was top class. I had chicken stuffed with haggis on top of mash and carrot and turnip, it was so good. The wife had a brisket sandwich which came with salad and chips, she was very impressed. That and a pint cost less than fifty quid.
I had a double room, which was worth the extra cost. It was spacious, simply decorated with wooden furniture. It was on the second floor, so very quiet for its ideal location, near to the Cathedral. It's best if you book directly with the hotel, then the breakfast is free. The staff are polite, friendly and helpful.
Went in for light Lunch on Saturday service, staff and food were so fantastic went back for Sunday roast. Rob, Ronnie, Abby & Vanessa were so hospitable.The food for both meals was lovely particularly the Sunday Roasts & puddings delicious. Rob & Ronnie made us feel so welcome & looked after us so well. Highly recommend this pub and restaurant
The third time visiting here for food and it doesn't disappoint at all . Great offer on three nibble plates for £18 we added some fries to ours it's delicious and plenty for 2 people.
This quaint, 19th-century inn next to Chester Cathedral is an 8-minute walk from Chester Racecourse.
