Reviews in Chester

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!

Visited this pub this week and ordered a pint of orange squash, ust under 2 quid-daylight robbery !

Went to Wolfies un Chester in Mothering Sunday. The food was great, didn't skimp on the portions, staff were attentive and very welcoming. The only thing I would say is it would be nice if tea came in a pot, and that sweetners were an option, as my mother is diabetic and the only option was white sugar. Other than that it was very nice

Great food and bar man Sean was very attentive and helpful. I don't normally leave tips but he definitely deserved his as I didn't have to get up once!

Had a meal at this restaurant about three weeks ago. Although it was busy the service was good and the food was very good. The bill was reasonable. No complaints whatsoever

Tried this newly opened restaurant today food bland - myself and parter only ones dining - looked Like the off duty manager behind the bar in scruffy clothes talking loud enough so we could here his conversation - bought in garlic bread as a side £4.95 - don't think so put me off going again they will need all the luck in the world after my experience today not for me !!
