Cheshire Grill in Cheshire West and Chester

We recently visited this restaurant and had a mixed experience. My partner ordered the sweet and spicy burger, which was yummy – full of flavour and cooked very well. The service from the waitresses was friendly and attentive at the beginning. I ordered the crispy beef salad, which unfortunately was quite disappointing. It seemed to be mostly batter with very little actual beef, and it was dry and lacking in flavour. After our mains were served, no one came to check in on us, which was a bit surprising given the initial attentiveness. At the end of the meal, I raised my concerns with one of the waitresses. A person who appeared to be the manager came over and responded with, “You do know that it isn’t batter?” – which felt unnecessarily dismissive. She then asked if we wanted the dish removed from the bill. We told her it was entirely at her discretion. Interestingly, after our conversation, she chose not to remove it. While the burger and the service at the start were positives, the quality of the salad and how the feedback was handled left us with a less-than-satisfying impression overall.

Went for a meal after not being for a while and wish I hadn’t. Food is poor!! I got a sharing block, asked for no mushroom but still got them and medium steak it was chewy and not medium, for a “steak house”they really are put to shame. Service slow and not exactly enthusiastic. Never again.

Really nice pub in the country. Lovely decor. Polite and knowledgeable staff. Great food... we've visited twice now and had a good experience both times. The brisket is delicious! Large onsite carpark.

Fantastic family meal, the food was amazing and the service was exceptional. Highly recommended.

Sent steak back twice asked for medium rare first steak was done more than bonnie blue and the second was as raw as squidword off sponge bob. Used to eat here years ago 2 or 3 times a month a shame to say I will not be returning.

Good feel to the place as soon as you walk in. The food was very good and the staff friendly and efficient no hesitation recommending a visit.

Absolutely love this place, consistently good, great staff - Olly & Jo tonight, fab service. Wish my local was this!! . Food is excellent , definitely head & shoulders above anywhere else around the area. You won’t be disappointed.

Oscar was attentive and very polite! Food was lovely! Thank you

Called today for the first time and we tried the new £10 lunchtime deal. We both had the burgers and ordered a side of chips. It was honestly the best burger we've had. It was so tasty and filled with gorgeous extras. The chips are amazing - proper home cooked, crispy and dry. And thanks especially to lovely Mathew who is an absolute star of a host . We'll definitely be returning.

We visited for my birthday The food was great, the staff were amazing going the extra mile. Really nice touch with a hand signed birthday card from them all with a personalised picture. Highly recommend 👌

The food was absolutely delicious, and the service provided by Matthew made our experience even more memorable. He was attentive, friendly, and really went the extra mile to ensure we had a great time. Because of him, we'll definitely be returning soon!

Very poor food for the price. Roast beef was two thin slices of meat and half a raw cabbage with mash and 3 small roasties. Other dishes were missing components described on the menu! Disappointing.

Worst Sunday roast I’ve ever eaten. Waited an hour for the food to arrive and when it did arrive it was stone cold, I sent it back to be told I was getting a fresh Sunday roast to it being stone cold the second time. What a great Mother’s Day.

100% Excellent! Food, Service, Atmosphere, Cleanliness are All fantastic with lovely staff. It’s always a lovely place to visit and perfect to celebrate Mothers Day. They are also Dog Friendly and would happily return with our pooch. Highly recommend a visit!

brilliant food. slightly pricey but worth it

Excellent all round. Mike and Josh were fantastic.

Mike and the team delivered great service and good as usual. Lovely atmosphere always clean, tidy and typical service with a smile. I’m slowly making my way though the gin selection 🍸I’m always changing items on the menu- cater amazing to my needs. See you soon and thank you 🙏🏼

Four of us came today and for a treat we had the sharing platter for Sunday lunch it was very very good indeed the staff were excellent highly recommend 👍

We’re in town from North Carolina and we enjoyed this restaurant thoroughly. Mike is extremely hospitable and was able to give each of us a laugh. Every entrée each of us ordered was cooked to perfection. The music was great. The scenery was beautiful, and we even had some pretty drinks on the side. Can’t leave out the dessert!! The Biscoff cheesecake is amazing. Mike wears many hats!! Definitely marking Cheshire Grill as a local favorite !! Cheers

Visited yesterday, service was very slow, Waitress was rude, fillet steak was undercooked, starter was good, some of the mains were forgotten, when it did come out it was the wrong meal. Drinks service was slow. 3 options on the menu had sold out. The pub looks run down and the staff look overworked and uninterested, needs an injection of life into the pub.

Booked a family meal here for 30, for my daughters 18th birthday last minute and it was absolutely perfect, very accommodating, kind and helpful. The staff were friendly and nothing was to big for them. Food was spot on. All of us will definitely be returning at some point x

Nice country pub and grill. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Food is good and portions are large. Will definitely be back

Very friendly staff, very quick service and lovely food. We went for my partners birthday, they brought out a card, glass of Prosecco and a plate with some ice cream with “happy birthday”. Sara was very friendly and helpful, and the manager (I can’t remember his name) was very funny! Looking forward to eating here again

This place is fabulous & been going many years ! Carpeted dog friendly area , food amazing & went today for our 29th wedding anniversary & had complimentary Prosecco, we had the amazing salt & pepper calamari & a sirloin & ribeye steak for mains , they have a great app that you collect points every time you dine & we had accumulated enough to get all this for free & 2 large glasses of Shiraz ! Mike is a great manager & Chris the chef also gave us a complimentary fruit & icecream , highly recommend this place !

Fabulous staff, I’ve been here twice now for my mum’s birthday and then for my brother’s birthday. Always get a free glass of champagne and birthday surprise, and my mum even got a birthday card. Great atmosphere and great food, but also brilliant service all round. Tell your mates because we need to keep places like this going!

The chicken satay skewers were warm at best, when we complained the waitress explained the pink meat had been in a water bath for 3 hours? So to mot worry about food poisoning. Burger cremated and looked like it had been reheated. Girlfriends fillet steak looked the same and the dauphinoise had no sauce and were also burnt and dry. Left without paying for the food. Didn't even touch the mains... Valentines day meal ruined!

Really lovely Valentine's meal. Our waitress was Molly and service was amazing!

Matt was incredibly friendly and smiley, he couldn’t do enough for us! Would come back just for the service 😊 Food was quick and delicious too!

Great food, lovely atmosphere, definitely recommend

Omg what a difference half a year can make... had an amazing Sunday dinner and apple crumble less than a year ago but it has seriously gone down hill.. The Sunday roast was very random with half a cabbage on the plate and questionable beef, also who puts garnish on a Sunday roast 😳🤣... the apple crumble was warm at best and swimming in water like it was just warmed up directly from frozen in the microwave... I am very disappointed I have never had such a poor experience anywhere... hungry horse do a better job... shocking.

Overall ok but not good enough that I would return.

Visited today as we'd come not long ago and really enjoyed it. It had such a delicious Sunday roast and apple crumble. However coming today has been really disappointing as the Sunday roast was okay at best with half a cabbage slabbed on my plate. 😂 We didn't touch our beef which is a bizzare experience as we love beef. 😱 I had to pour out the water from my crumble which is a first. 😂 Not worth the money like it used to be which is a shame. Things that are perfect don't need changing. Probably won't visit again now. Staff are lovely & pleasant though. 👏

Staff made my husbands birthday meal amazing, the food was cooked perfectly, our waitress was lovely and the personal touch to my husbands birthday was very thoughtful and made the evening special - will definitely be coming again!

Lovely location, atmosphere with good food and drink.

Looks tired. Used to be fantastic. Feels like any other chain. Service slow. Continually have to ask for service. Cold and lacking any quality. Gone from fantastic to lacking!

Had a fabulous meal there, I had Filler Steak and it was perfect, cut like butter. Everyone was very friendly, we're elderly and I have trouble walking and they got our table immediately. I also had some vouchers from last year Christmas advent and I didn't know how to use it and the manager took time out to help us. An excellent place .

Visited a couple of times now, service was excellent, food was delicious. Beef brisket was amazing ! Highly recommend

Never been before stayed for one drink only. Very clean nice staff.

Great service and friendly staff. Lovely food will be going back.

Received a warm, polite welcome when we arrived, which continued throughout our visit. Food was tasty and delicious and served in a timely manner. The food is also at a reasonable price. Plus they also allow good behaved dogs in a designated eating area. Recommended 👍👌.

I do wonder if I should share excellent venues for fear of them getting booked up! The Cheshire Grill is excellent, the staff (this time Sara and Mike) were attentive but not intrusive, we were tucked around a corner which made for a rather romantic ambience and as it’s our monthly date night, that worked a treat. With one of us gluten intolerant choice is always tricky but not here, plenty to choose from and a super helpful chef who, if they can adapt a recipe they will. Personally I’d recommend the burger, lots going on so bring an appetite, add onion rings to really stretch your belt

Dropped in in a dreary storm Bert wet and windy afternoon. They found us a table and the food and service was spot on. Beef brisket and pumpkin tortellini and some onion rings hit the mark! Served by Ross and service was on point as well! Will certainly drop back in, if in the area!

Lovely cosy venue, great food and drink, friendly helpful staff

Gorgeous place. Amazing food and drinks. Lovely staff including Mollie who looked after us today. Definitely be back!

We love to visit the Cheshire Grill for any special occasion and we are always well cared for. Tonight we came for our 3rd Wedding Anniversary and despite it being a Tuesday night we were still made to feel very welcome and special. Mike and Ross definitely went the extra mile with small touches to make our evening special. Always a fantastic visit and a must recommendation if you’re in the area.

Although busy on Friday lunchtime, not packed and table for walk-ins available. Good food, pleasant staff, good atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Lovely food large portions the chicken skewers were fab. Nice location and great service. Non alcohol cocktails were great!

Booked for lunch for our wedding anniversary. Never been before but will definately return. Place itself is really nicely laid out , food was excellent and some really nice touches that Ross and Sophie and Chefs Chris and Olivia added that made the whole experience one to remember. Kudos to all of them and thank you.

Visited the Cheshire Grill for Sunday Lunch today, food was delicious and although it was very busy the service from Hope was excellent

Excellent visit, friendly staff, food was fresh, hot and tasted excellent. The cuts of meat in the cupboard on display looked really good, had the ribeye.

Been here 4 times since june and honeslty it is absolutely amazing, everytime i’ve been i’ve tried something new and it just keeps getting better, my boyfriend who adores his steak has always gotten the t-bone steak and says it’s the best steak he’s ever had, i have tried the sirloin, katsu curry, grill burger and tonight i tried the beef brisket and omg it’s was beautiful, im quite a fussy eater and they made some small tweaks to it (swapping the sauce for gravy) ( and chips instead of mash) and it was the nicest thing ive ever had, i do find it hard sometimes going out due to myself not liking certain things but i have never struggled ever here. The staff are always lovely and welcoming. Tonight we also had the mac and cheese side (which i don’t normally like mac and cheese) but this was absolutely gorgeous, my boyfriend absolutely loves the truffle fries and the port and stilton sauce (i belive that’s what it’s called) and he always finishes with a clean place. Would recommend this place to anyone it’s absolutely amazing if i could id give it more stars, i can’t wait to return!

Fabulous food and atmoshere,Go maybe twice a week and never been let down,the staff work so well as a team,and are always welcoming.

Hope, Olly and Caley provided top class service (as usual) drinks and food were served quickly and with a smile. Would definitely recommend

At the suggestion of a friend, we went there for a drink and lunch on a week day. We were essentially the only two customers for lunch. Clearly, no one's fault that there was no atmosphere. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was very small, lots of wet batter around it and the fish seemed grey, and not whitish as one would expect from a fresh fish. I asked for a cappuccino which when it arrived was a latte really or milky coffee! The waitress suggested changing it, but visibly looking upset, and what came back was a latte with a bit of light foam on top. I am always surprised that staff are not trained the basic art of making a cappuccino or ... I will not return again as there are so many better pub/restaurants in Cheshire West. I hope the management read this with a view to putting things right. I understand that all this might be the fault of a quiet lunchtime.

Sara and Ollie were very attentive and very welcoming. A credit to the business! The food was legit to die for, the chicken skewers was the best chicken I've ever had! Great work everyone, we will be back!

Great meal and service by Kaley

First time visiting here, booked a table for 7 people, we were celebrating my husband's 65th birthday, ordered a variety of meals, steaks, gammon brisket , burgers, all food served together all hot looked amazing, tasted gteat, drinks service a little slow but not a problem as we just ordered at the bar and it was promptly brought to our table. Husband has a complimentary champagne and his dessert was served on a happy birthday plate which was a very nice gesture. All in all a great first experience and will definitely go back to try the brisket. Highly recommend.

We came across this pub only because we were diverted off a closed M6. Very kind staff helped us to celebrate my mums 80th with an unexpected card and glass of bubbly. It was much appreciated.

Went to celebrate my son’s birthday and we received a warm reception and shown to our table. The menu is varied with a small vegetarian / vegan option available, they also have a children’s menu available separately. We had starter and mains and it arrived at a good time and served hot, the food was a good proportion and delicious. During the meal my son as the birthday boy was given a complementary glass of bubbly and a cheesecake pudding, very nice touch by the establishment. All in all a very nice place to eat drink and relax. Recommend!

Stopped here a couple of times for a drink & break on our way home from motorcycling all day. Both times Staff were very welcoming, friendly & polite. Next time we're over that way, we'll call in for some food too. Plenty of parking and outdoor seating, nice pub.

Went for a birthday lunch - steaks & burgers fantastic, delicous starters (calamari to die for) and nice surprise at the end. Surprisingly quiet so service very good. Highly recommended

Great service. For my mum's birthday the staff gave a card, glass of champagne and a dessert all for free.

Staff very friendly fantastic customer service, said a hello to fin the dog 🐶 food was lovely

If you're looking for a hearty Sunday lunch then look no further. The food was delicious. It's worth visiting for the mashed potato alone! It was very quiet when we visited but the staff didn't rush or crowd us. The food portions are very generous and well-presented.

Food is fantastic. Perfectly presented, tasty but still hearty enough to fill me up. Check out the Lamb Sherperd's Pie + the Beef Brisket. Friendly service and Great atmosphere. Highly recommended. Negative- Waitress's boyfriend (both fully able) parked in the disabled bay to pick her up - i think this is highly inconsiderate - do you not realise?

Superb food & good selection of ales. Large place but plenty of parking space & outdoor seating

Delicious and Tastiest food I’ve had in the UK so far!!!

Only gave a 4 for the fact it was dead and the Moretti had a funny taste to it

Ordered our steaks different this time ,mine steak with sunday trimmings, beautiful. Wife s steak on the beetroot salad, best meal she said and 4 t-bone steaks for the dogs .Best meals for a long time

Very welcoming Country Pub, the staff were friendly, polite and efficient. Nicely furnished and comfortable with great food. I'd happily return here again. I stayed overnight here in the camper and it felt very safe, quiet through the night but was woken by traffic around 6:30.

Pleasant atmosphere very well received impeccable service The food is very good and well presented.

Took my wife on a date night. Lovely place.ordered food. My starter was raw and uncooked. They removed it from the bill. We both ordered steaks. Serloin for me. ribeye for my wife. Both steaks were fatty and full of gristle. For a steak house this was very disappointing. Having just spent £90 waste of money springs to mind. Have have better steaks and paid much less. Will not be returning. Can see why on a saturday night the place was empty.

We decided to book an evening meal here to celebrate our 1st Wedding Anniversary and we were not disappointed! Hope and Sophie are delightful front of house staff, service with a smile is an understatement. Kudos to Hiro and Wiljon (sorry can't read the name on the card we got) the food was amazing, every bite was delicious. One thing for sure is that we'll be returning customers and we'll have to bring along some of the family too. Thank you for making our day that little more special!

Dinner was great! And Jersey helped us to have a good time in there. It was my birthday and she got us a dessert too😊.

Food was ok but not much of it and it was very expensive

Very good food I had the skewers and chicken Diane and it was lovely!

Expensive for average food nothing to dance about.

We went for my son's 21st birthday. A lovely meal from start to finish with friendly staff. A lovely surprise of a free drink and also a card, along with a birthday message on his dessert plate. In all the times we've visited, I don't think I've ever had a bad meal

Staff were great, service was good. Food was lovely well presented and atmosphere was cosy and comfortable.

Lovely place to have a family meal. The food was delicious, the staff very helpful and, we had a lovely time with our families. We were impressed by the staff as nothing was too much trouble for them. They're a child friendly place and had lots of parking. We will definitely be back. Thank you

Abalotely top notch...food/ service & ambience. Thank you Staff😋🙂

We do horse drawn funeral services. Management are amazing. They always let us use there carpark to set up our funeral services. So welcoming

The food is second to none, great service and fantastic atmosphere. Would I recommend this place? Damn right I would.

Had a fab birthday meal last night. Special mention to Josh and Sara who did a great job tending to our needs, thanks guys! Well recommended. Steaks were fab and sides lovely as usual.

Lovely meal out for a friends birthday, food and table service was amazing, Josh was a very friendly , polite young man and made us all feel very welcome, I would highly recommend the Cheshire grill.

A great evening out with friends to celebrate a birthday. Lovely food and drinks and the service from Josh & Sara was great.

Had a lovely steak dinner at Cheshire grill waiter josh was spot on couldnt have been any more helpful and polite would 100% recommend

Josh and Hayley was great, a very special touch to the cake 😊 Very gReooad service thanks, food was good, Restaurant was empty so got full attention

Fabulous birthday meal as always & free glass of fizz for husband , the chunky chips by chef Hiro are far the best I’ve ever had & staks were cooked perfectly, highly recommend

We had a delicious meal, extensive menu with plenty of choice and excellent service. It was the first time we’d been and will definitely be back. Thank you to Jake for recommending 😀

I had a wonderful experience. Despite being midweek and a little quiet the manager was a perfect hostess. Really lovely. As was the young barman. The food was delicious. Really really good. Murphys on tap. Lovely stuff. Nice venue too. All in all very reasonably priced. I would recommend to any steaklover

We had a lovely evening last night, a group of 10. We were extremely well looked after and the food was beautiful. Special mention to Josh, Sara, Jonathan and Chris.

Our group of 9 ladies were celebrating a 60th birthday for one and another birthday too. Mike. Josh & Sara were front of house and the service was spot on. Compliments to the chefs. Jonah & Chris, we all enjoyed our menu choices. The evening was made special as the birthday girls received a glass of complimentary fizz and then we had two dessert platters. Very attentive. Would recommend

We went for our friends birthday the service we received from Josh and Sarah was excellent the food cooked by Jonna and Chris amazing. We had an absolutely fantastic time you cannot fault anything. Thank you for making the evening so special Mike . All of the staff went the extra mile I would recommend the Cheshire Grill for any occasion.

I don't usually have time to write reviews but for the Cheshire Grill at Lach Dennis, Northwich, I will make an exception. I've just been there for a business lunch and the service and the food were exceptional. The best belly pork I have tasted in many years (thanks to Chris and Hiro the chefs!) Hope, our waitress was also warm and welcoming and appropriately attentive. It's also such a lovely venue, tastefully decorated and really comfortable. I will certainly be visiting again soon!

Fantastic birthday meal. Excellent food and service. Complimentary birthday Prosecco and Happy Birthday designed dessert plate. Staff wonderful… nothing too much trouble. Wonderful evening . Highly recommended.,

We visited Cheshire Grill for dinner and was not disappointed. Food was fantastic and the customer service from our waiter Josh was faultless

Went for late lunch, had the dog with us after a nice walk. Super dog friendly (water and treats offered too) - dog area was lovely, calm, warm and we felt part of the pub atmosphere, not shoved aside in a dog tap room like some pubs. Menu was great, had the crispy pork which was delicious and beautifully done. Hope, our waitress, was fab - friendly and knowledge about the dishes when we asked questions whilst choosing. Lovely time - thanks guys

Ultra slow service from start to finish . Staff clearly haven't had any training, they are polite with a lack of confidence. Waiting 90 minutes for my first taste of food.(I asked for mixed vegetables and got salad, couldn't bring myself to send it back as it took so long to arrive!) Waited over half an hour for dessert brownies had gone cold and hard ,custard had turned into a thick blob. Would not recommend or go back. Really disappointed.

First time eating in this beautiful restaurant, there was a wonderful team looking after us. The food was delicious I had the squid and it was so tender. the pork belly, was a delight. Hope was awesome, she couldn’t have been any better. Ross and Molly were great waiters, always smiling. Thank you for a great experience.
