The best restaurants serving British food in Cheshire West and Chester North West

I live in Great Sutton, Ellesmere Port and usually eat out on Friday nights at local pub/restaurants. I usually only visit here on my way back from shopping in Chester, but just fancied fish and chips today, so made the 40min bus journey to them-yes they are that good! Had haddock, chips, mushy peas and scraps and ate in. The venue is a proper fish and chip shop not a greasy takeaway and lots of time and care clearly goes into the business. Whenever I eat in, one of the 'friers' always comes over when he has a quite moment to ask if everythings ok with food, impressive when the shop was fairly non stop with people coming in. As someone born in Yorkshire who came to live in Cheshire when I was five ,I really miss good quality fish and chips and this venue transports me back there. They're also way better than the Harry Ramsdens chain which have gone really downhill in the last few years.

Given a Groupon voucher as a gift for this meal. We got the budget Groupon service. Small table tucked away. Tonight a long story short the rump top steak cut we were only able to have with this package was so chewey and poor it had to be re cooked just to be edible The monkfish cheeks I had as a starter was tiny and smothered in a curried sauce the triple cooked chips were processed thin croquettes. And the Dirty mash did t seem to have the bacon lardons. Just some gravy and a sprig of cooked onions. All in all a poor showing for what looks like a lovely place to dine. To top it off the first bill presented was for the full meal no Groupon voucher taken into account. And the waitresses rolled her eyes when I explained their error. Chester has a lot of dining experiences and we go to a few when we can. I don’t think we will revisit this one.

Great venue Room was perfect Staff fantastic Food great Packed lunch as we had to leave before breakfast was a nice touch and delicious However, me and my male friends trip was tarnished by a group of local idiots First of all Shouting poofs followed by body checking my friend and Calling him out for being a thick geordie Completely unprovoked-I’m a lover not a fighter !! The bar maid handled the crowd of locals and told them to be quiet and they did pipe down eventualities-however I will Not stay here again as we are both left feeling like it was a local pub for local people Hosting a bunch a farmer boys looking for a fight And if the business owner continues to allow disruptive and abusive locals to drink there they are going to lose business -well certainly from me anyway ! Such a shame - as the girls who looked after us were great -and why should they have to put up with them either ?!

Disappointing. We had been here earlier in the year and it was superb. This time, despite booking well in advance and giving the food order days before, we had a 45 minute wait to be served. Starter was very good, but some parts of the main course were probably just right 45 minutes earlier, sadly not when my plate turned up. Wine prices are outrageous! I understand there's going to be a mark-up, but this is taking the p

Delicious food and excellent service. Would highly recommend! I had the vegan roast and we also ordered 2 beef roasts, a fish and chips and a kids macaroni cheese. My only observation was that the kids meal came out after the others whilst I always prefer it to be served first. All in all a lovely experience with excellent views of the garden areas.

This was our third visit to Okells, and again, we were not disappointed. Even though it was quite busy, we found a table pretty quickly and then placed our order. The coffees came quite quickly, but the food order was a tad slow. However, the staff were busy rushing around and about, so I suppose that's just the way it goes sometimes. When the food arrived, we weren't disappointed, and we enjoyed 2 decent portions of quiche with salad and coleslaw. Only one small niggle..... the coleslaw was a bit salty for our taste. And if we have to be really picky, we would preferred our coffees after our meals. Maybe I should have told the staff of our preference?? Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meals and we'll be back again in a few months. Oh, and one more thing to mention....... most of the staff were very friendly, and helped us when we had questions to ask.

Brilliant food and menu, great service and wonderful setting in a beautiful village. Friends recommended it and we were really pleased as we were only in Chester for a couple of nights and wanted some good food!

Excellent food & friendly staff. Would definitely recommend Cody atmosphere Will definitely return before the end of the year

First visit since 2017, can say the ice cream I had (conder toffee) was a lot lot nicer than my last visit in 2017. Sadly the service was lacking. Was quite a wait to be served which I get however there was only one last on at that time. Another lady came out and could of smiled a little more and be less unhappy looking

A great place for lunch. The service is professional and friendly. I chose from the fixed price menu and was not disappointed with my turkey meal. The vegetables were cooked to perfection and the turkey moist and served with a tasty gravy. I was sorry I couldn’t manage a sweet from an interesting choice on the menu. The star performer was the pheasant terrine.The best I have ever tasted. Looking forward to our next visit Welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.

The hotel is currently being refurbished and the restaurant is now closed until further notice. When we looked on the website this was not mentioned so we had a wasted trip

We went for Sunday lunch a few weeks ago and weren't disappointed. All of the five star reviews are definitely spot on. The food was lovely. Best Sunday roast I've had for a very long time. Advisable to book as it does get busy and you really won't want to walk in and smell the food only to miss out!

Really lovely food, great service, friendly food and a good price. Really good cuppa. We had veggie breakfast baps…really nice and made to order so hot and fresh

Great experience. Started with Heather and ended talking jam and cream to the chef. Apart from the jam maybe having room for improvement everything else was delicious. You know you’ve had a good cappuccino when you try and drink the froth. Food was piping hot. Beans not served in a ramekin so you get a decent portion. Butchers sausages and tasted heavily of pork. Yum. Toast was soaked in butter. Double yum.

First time here Very pleasant staff. Order at counter and delivered to table. As we had a large breakfast at the Grosvenor we opted for a cappucino and tea. No complaints whatsoever. Nice background music They do cakes as well Definitely come back next time in Chester
