Antrobus Arms in Cheshire West and Chester

Food & service poor. We went as a family on a Saturday afternoon and sadly wouldn’t recommend. The food average and not as described (pie filling chewy, not cooked for 12 hours and gravy certainly not homemade, tasted like instant gravy) When asked to change for something else we were ignored. On top of that the beer wasn’t great.

A lovely welcome from the staff as we entered, polite and efficient to take our order. The food was delicious, hot and plentiful. Reasonably priced too.

Arrived at pub about 30 min early. We were told to get a drink at the bar and they would tell us when the table was ready. They didn’t and said they didn’t know we were there. We finally got a table and ordered starters. I ordered prawn cocktail my wife ordered garlic mushrooms. The prawns (4) were in a watery sauce on top of lettuce leaves on a small plate. There was a piece of white bread heavily buttered. It was very poor. The garlic mushrooms came with a thick bun which was supposed to be a ciabatta. We both had roast beef which was excellent. The starters spoilt the meal a bit and service was very slow although the staff were very polite.

Regular visitor; enjoyed superb Sunday lunch for two 15/9/24, excellent value & very good service. Kathryn & her team at the Antrobus Arms (AA) are rightly nominated for an upcoming local award, which they deserve to win. Great menu, plenty of choice & use of local produce There's plenty of local "gastro-pub" or restaurant choice.....the AA should definitely be on your list. No commercial interest....just a very "happy local", supporting a superb operation.

We were a party of four who visited your lovely pub today. A lovely guy took our order and was efficient,personable and a credit to your restaurant . We chose the lunch menu and had 2 courses for £15.00 we could have had a dessert for an extra £3.00! It was a fab food experience. Food was tasty,good portions and nicely presented. Beautiful and we have already recommended the Antrobus Arms to our friends.

Had dinner here twice during our stay in the area for the Tatton Park Flower Show (sadly the last one for a few years!). The first time it was their Friday Fish and Chips for £10 offer, which we all had and thought was excellent value. They were the best fish and chips we'd had for ages and large portion sizes too. We returned the following evening and chose from the main menu. Again the food was delicious. Both times the staff were great, very friendly and welcoming and provided efficient and attentive service. Highly recommended!

We finally visited Antrobus Arms having read really positive reviews. We were not disappointed! All dishes were beautiful - steak pie, linguini and fish of the day. The pie was definitely the best I’ve ever eaten and enormous. The Chilean Sauvignon ticked every box. To make the evening perfect, the service was exceptional too. Thank you for a lovely evening.

We chose the Antrobus Arms for our Ruby Wedding Celebration Lunch for its location and ease of parking. We were seated in a private dining area which was spacious and relaxing. The staff were outstanding in every way and were organised, efficient and attentive at all times. Everyone in our party commented on their impeccable manners and attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble! The food was delicious! Portion sizes were generous and the menu choices were varied and imaginative and the cost represented really good value for money! We would unreservedly recommend the Antrobus Arms to anyone looking for a similar ‘special’ event.

Visited because I have an odd plant based/gf diet and we know the Antrobus copes well with that. My husband had a steak which was nice although he felt over faced by a pile of chips. I was so looking forward to the cauliflower steak dish but it’s been changed on the menu and is now served with a pile of chips.If someone wants to eat healthily and have a cauliflower steak would they want a pile of chips? The old recipe was lovely and it’s a shame it’s gone- I went to have that favourite and it’s gone. The service is superb and the staff are lovely. Definitely worth a visit but going a bit ‘chippy’ meal rather than restaurant.

This was our 1st time visiting after going to the anderton boat lift for our friends birthday upon arrival we were shown to a table and given menus by a lovely member of the team Alice she was very bubbly and made us feel so welcome the menu and price was really reasonable and the portion sizes were very adequate I had fish and chips and wow the size of the fish well I will post a pic so you can see if you order I hope your hungry 😀 anyway needles to say we will be going back so thankyou Alice hope to see you soon.

We arrived at the Antrobus without booking on a busy Sunday afternoon but were swiftly found a table. The pub appears to have been tastefully modernised and the room we were in was light and airy. The staff were friendly and efficient without being intrusive and we didn't have to wait long for our meals. Suffice to say that we weren't disappointed, the Antrobus lives up to its billing as a gastropub, the quality of the food being the best I can remember having in a long time. All in all, thoroughly recommended for a meal out.

Lovely food and very friendly service. We were celebrating a 60th Wedding Anniversary with 3 generations in attendance and friends. Most of the menu was ordered and very much enjoyed. We will certainly be back

Our visit to Antrobus Arms was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. I took my Mum here on Sunday 10th March for Mothers day and we were booked in for 12:15. We were seated very quickly and it was a great time to go as it was very quiet. We were handed the set mothers day menu which included all allergens noted on the side of each dish. This was especially important for my mum who is gluten free. We had the soup to start and then both chose the roast dinners (beef and lamb). I was asked the cooking preference on the beef which I loved as I dislike it being red/bloody. The meals and service were super quick and our servers were lovely!! We finished with deserts and then as we went to pay my mum was handed some flowers for Mothers day! This was an incredibly thoughtful and lovely idea and made our trip extra special. I have told everyone about our visit and we will definitely come again! Very professional and smooth service!!

We have just enjoyed a really beautifully cooked Mother’s day roast dinner. Lovely staff, attentive and very friendly. Highly recommend, we will most certainly be visiting again soon. Thank you so much everyone.

Picked this venue due to the 4.5 rating on Trip Adviser. However very expensive for what we got and quality was poor. When the bill came they tried to charge us £10 for three scopes of ice cream. The menu was a set menu which had I known beforehand I would not have booked. I think ours was £27.50 for 2 courses which basically consisted of 3 Roast dinners which were not great soup luke warm, duck pate which was OK but the sourdough toast you needed a chain saw to cut into and finally a bowl of ice cream. We had 3 cokes. Overall did not feel like good value as the food was not of a good standard. Won't be returning

Went here with the family for lunch and the food was delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive, we will definitely be returning!

We attended the Breakfast with Santa this morning and I cannot express how much we all enjoyed this wonderful experience . We discovered that this was the first time they had put on this event and HATS OFF to the whole team and the Big Man himself for planning and hosting a totally memorable morning . Your level of customer service, the warmest welcome, the fantastic food, buffet style and piping hot , Santa's very personal interaction with each family, the very special well thought out gift for each child and then a story time session. It was such a friendly , relaxed morning which we all loved . WELL DONE to the whole team for a brilliant Antrobus welcome . Here's to this being an annual event. We will be quick off the mark to book as word will get out now that this a "must do" !!!

It was our first time at The Antrobus Arms today and we certainly will be back. Breakfast with Santa was an amazing experience for the children as well as adults. Breakfast was delicious, very good choice of fresh and high quality products, poached eggs cooked to order and sausages were my favourite while my girls loved their pancakes with syrup. Santa was superb, very friendly and patient with my younger daughter and it certainly needs adding that he was the most realistic I’ve ever met with his real white beard! Well done to him for delivering such a memorable & very enjoyable experience! The team were very attentive& friendly. We felt well looked after. It is definitely 10 out of 10 from us! Lovely settings, excellent service and such a relaxed and personal atmosphere! Attention to detail and arrangements of the morning were spot on! Breakfast with Santa at The Antrobus Arms certainly will take a top place on our Christmas traditions list.

We had a fabulous meal for a birthday celebration. Service and food were spot on. The whole family commented that they had enjoyed our visit.

Wow! We were offered the dessert menu after eating a pie. Who would have space for anything after an amazing pie? Food was delicious, service was excellent and unobtrusive. AND no loud music! Wonderful

Really good experience. Lovely pub, friendly staff, great food, good service. What more could you want. Highly recommended.

I’ve been coming here quite frequently over the last couple of months and have always received amazing service (super dog friendly) and delicious food. I came yesterday to realise it was Sunday roasts but I’m a veggie who isn’t the biggest fan of nut roasts. The waitress was lovely and asked the chefs if they’d make me something from their weekday menu which they did. Outstanding service as always!

Sunday Roast for the 4 of us and it was lovely. Salmon tartar starter was delicious and then 2 of us had pork and 2 had roast beef. Lovely meat, crispy Yorkshire pudding, fresh veg. Only thing I’d do next time would be ask for gravy separate. We’ll go back, must try normal menu. Staff were lovely,

Came here for dinner and had a lovely meal. Great options on the menu, very tasty. Staff were great, manager and server were prompt and very polite. Strongly recommend the shell on king prawn starter- lovely!

Visited the newly refurbished pub such a difference food and service was excellent, staff were so lovely and courteous will definitely recommend and return

The food was really good. Far better food than a standard Gastropub. Great staff who were friendly and accommodating. We also had the bonus if unexpected live music

Excellent lunch, friendly caring staff. Good varied menu with several good vegetarian options. Plenty of parking. Will definitely visit again

We visited in the evening last week and the pub itself is lovely and staff pleasant but my husband’s meal, hand raised steak and Weetwood ale pie, was very disappointing. The steak was very gristly and most chunks were inedible because of this and left...

Dropped by for lunch on way back from a few days break and received a warm welcome from the owner and good service from the staff. Really clean and smart inside with pleasant beer garden. Recommended

Beautiful pub and fabulous beer garden. Benedict and Kat made us feel so welcome, and our four legged gang member was treated like a king with biscuits and a water bowl provided! Food is top notch, good price and served quickly. Well done guys!

This is my local pub but haven’t eaten there for a while. There have been a few changes recently including a new head chef. Tonight 4 of us all had an excellent meal in a convivial atmosphere. Will certainly return soon

We received an enthusiastic and warm welcome from our server Benedict and the service was impeccable throughout. It’s a lovely setting with excellent staff, service and food.

Called in on way past as it was recommended to us, was not disappointed by the pub. We only had drinks in the beer garden but found the place itself to be very pleasant inside and the stall on that day were very pleasant too!...

We booked for Easter Sunday lunch here today. The staff were really friendly and welcoming on arrival I had the roast chicken dinner and my husband had roast beef. Both were nicely presented and delicious. We chose simnel pudding cake with custard for dessert ....

Such a disappointment. We ordered and paid three weeks in advance for a group of about 15 of us for 7pm. On the night the Service was appalling. They served us 70 minutes late. The food was not of a good standard. The beef was...

Came in just for a quick meal and was pleasantly surprised when I was greeted by one of the management as soon as I walked through the door. So welcoming it really set the course for our couple of courses. Starters and main were delicious...

Amazing service from the moment we sat down by Benedict. He was friendly, professional and had a great sense of humour. The most incredible Sunday roast I think we've ever had. Recommended puddings also that I am glad I listening to and ordered. We left...

Absolute 5 star without a doubt. Benedict served us and was such a cheerful guy, really kind to our little boy and very entertaining. Food was great and so was the beer. Will be back again very soon. We love Benedict!

My wife, son and myself had a brilliant and very tasty Sunday roast! Benedict our server made it magical for our son keeping him entertained which is a massive help when going out for food with a little one.

Lovely pub, friendly staff and very dog friendly. The food is lovely and very comfortable considering we have a big dog. Benedict and all the staff couldn’t be nicer. We’ve been quite a few times and lovely every time. Definitely recommend a visit!

Last year we went to the Antrobus Arms for the Valentines dining as my wife and I used to go their when we were dating and before it was renovated. The food was excellent. So this year we booked again. Big mistake. The starter was...

To be fair we expected slightly more having visited many of the local pubs based around hear, whitgate, tarpoley, little budsworth, and various other little villages within a 15/20 minute radius, as certainly not spoilt for choice We was greeted with a bit of an...

Great place to eat, food was delicious and the service was great. Very dog friendly, so much so that a blanket, water bowl and treats were ready for our dog when we got there!

10/10 if I could give but 5/5 is the only option. Used to go to the Antrobus arms back in the day. To see the goats ect! And loved it then. Since the refurb I’ve dined here a good few times. And what a place....

We have always enjoyed a wide variety of food that we have eaten here over the last 12 months. It is always freshly cooked and different to other establishments. I cannot single out any particular meal but there' something for everyone on the wide menu....

Literally dropped by unplanned because of delays on M56. Fantastic welcome from staff with the attentive service continuing throughout our visit. Good menu choice. Drinks also good although, as always, I'm amazed with the price of a glass wine which I felt was pricey. Beer,...

I booked The Antrobus Arms for a family lunch of 12 to celebrate a 60th wedding Anniversary. The communication, service and food were all excellent. The staff went above and beyond what was asked of them and made the occasion extra special for us.
