Hungry Horse in Cheshire West and Chester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Queued ages to order food as there was only one person serving. Food was terrible: scrambled eggs were cold and overdone, eggs on the Eggs Benedict were rubbery, and the sausages tasted cheap and nasty. One of our party has a dairy intolerance and was told semi skimmed milk was the only milk they they served, so she couldn't have a cup of tea with her breakfast. To not offer a dairy free alternative in this day and age is appalling. There are so many other places to eat in the area. Try them and avoid this place. I wish we had.

Originally just went in for a drink but decided to eat as well. One person serving behind the bar, order given but no indication given ax to how long wait would be. Had to ask for the table I was sat at to be cleaned. I had a forty minute wait, I was on the verge of asking for a refund and leaving when I noticed that food was starting to be brought out for other tables. One young man seemed to be doing all the serving, he was rushed off his feet,perhaps the middle aged woman who spent time putting sauces out could have been better employed bringing food out. My food finally arrived, chips hot, chicken warm and peas cooling, it was acceptable is the best I can say but at least there was an apology for the wait. It might be advisable to have two staff behind the bar and also advising people if there is going to be a long wait for food. I won’t be eating there again and would suggest that people eat elsewhere unless you’re prepared for a long wait.

Service was really bad! Glasses piled at the bar and only 1 person serving. Food was half hour wait and arrived just around 40mins. Had to go ask for the tea and the manageress looked disgusted when I did and Said she would chase it. 2 bites in to my burger to discover that it was red and undercooked. When the manageress brought the tea, I told her I wouldn't be eating the burger and requested my money back, she sent over another member of staff with the refund. Our plates lay on the table until we left around an hour and half after eating. Another table had ordered food and waited 30 mins for it to arrive, Only to be told that one of the meals had sold out. They then had to order something else. Very poor service and wouldn't think twice about returning

I had lovely time with my friends there with beautiful food and drinks but also we have served by Cristina who was very nice and kind.

Watched one member of staff dressed in own clothes picking all the food from a table she was cleaning with her fingers and put them into dirty plate then without washing hands put clean cutlery into cutlery dispensers whilst still holding dirty plates came back and emptied left overs from babies high chair onto floor and also wiped table contents she couldn’t pick up onto floor !! (Peas etc) and another member of staff ended up having to clean the floor !! Same lady whilst serving meals came out of kitchen each time eating something! Meals took ages to arrive even though not very busy and were only warm so ended up leaving them! Waited for over 15mins to be served with only one person infront ! Definitely will not be coming back again. We have used the hungry horse numerous times and felt it’s really gone down hill !

I would not eat from here ever again.. the food was shocking.. I took the children out for a birthday meal and wish I hadn’t bothered… I ordered the lasagne x2 and both were the same and as you can see from my picture it was awful and inedible , clearly left in the microwave for far to long, it was burned around the edges and all dried up the side salad however was ok. I wouldn’t have fed this to a starving dog..my young children could have done a better job at cooking this. There was no table check to see if everything was ok with our food. The staff behind the bar were very polite.

Food was ok but service very slow. Unfortunately the cleanliness of the establishment leaves a lot to be desired. Tables with dirty dishes left on them for an hour plus. Some were left for upwards of 2 hours.Dirty glasses piled up on the bar. Toilets are not very clean either. Staff very polite.

Breakfast and Evening meal 5***** - staff were awesome huge kudos for service with plenty of banter and smiles. Food was great on both servings.

I used to be a regular of this pub around 2012 and have sporadically still visited since then, we thought we'd pop in for some lunch and quickly spotted the "crown of burgers" on the menu. With 6 slider burgers and fries for £12-something we thought it would make a great lunch. I think my photos of this speak for themselves and honestly after this experience I won't be visiting this hungry horse ever again for food. I literally couldn't finish a single burger and my partner only managed 1. Fries were also really under done and soggy 🤮

Worst meal in a long time! Me and my son ordered via the App on arrival. Our main meals arrived after 15 mins or so, luke warm and tasteless. Looked like the food was thrown on the plates! Popa was stale. Asked where cutlery was, was told over there. Serviettes were in the draw - help yourself. I had to wipe the cutlery as none in the tub looked wiped/cleaned. My sons pint of guinness was good he said! Desserts were lovely too. But the whole experience against another Hungry Horse ive been too - not great and wouldnt visit again! Cheshire Oaks needs serious attention from the Management to get sorted quickly before you loose good custom. Standards very very low! Waste of £40 worth of Tesco Vouchers!

Food hit the spot, service was great, Christina is a credit to herself and the company, would visit again

We have visited hungry horse in cheshire oaks previously and had some great meals and it’s been great value for money. Today was not the case. The difference in standard from 6 months ago was shocking. Staff service was next to nonexistent, the food was luke warm, it did not represent value for money and was a horrible experience. Will not be coming back.

We arrived early for lunch before going to cinema next door. There was a 5 minute queue to order (I would have preferred to use the app, but you don’t get access to blue light discount on the app). No problem. Staff were great and our waitress spotted that the kids didn’t have a pen and gave them hers. After 40 minutes she also said she’d check on our order with kitchen without being asked by us. I was advised 10 more minutes which would have meant missing our film so went for a refund which was given with no quibbles (even for our drinks which we had drunk). We are at the cinema instead and despite not getting our food, I have given 4 stars because of the way the staff dealt with us despite being so busy. Will try again at a quieter time!

This is the last time I ever visit this pub. Yes it was very busy and that was explained when we ordered our food there would be a 40 minute wait no worries as that's what was explained. We ordered off the 2 pub classic menu fish and chips then the tikka masala with Basmati rice hence the word Basmati as that is what is stated on the menu. When our food arrived there was hardly any chips on my husband's plate looked more like a kids meal Then guss what it was pilla rice on mine I explained that no I wanted white rice as stated She returned from the kitchen to say there is only pilia Now if this was explained at the beginning when I ordered I wouldn't have ordered it. Then we had to wait for forks Then am sorry to say but I wouldn't even feed my dog the curry that I was given so I left it. Due to obviously not having enough staff as I could only see one staff member behind the bar and one taking the food out this is not good enough. I fully understand it's only basic food but I still expect something I can eat and enjoy . I would have asked for a refund at the time But due to the long queue at the bar I couldn't be bothered

Very busy but good food at a good price, could have been more staff on as queues for ordering were very long and slow moving, it's worth downloading the app which we resorted to. Table and chairs could have been cleaner, crumbs and salt needed wiping down, but having said all that I would return.

No cutlery brought to the table like at other Hungry Horse I visit in Rhyl. When I asked waitress was just pointed in the general direction of where they were. Only forks in the tray. Waitress said well you get the forks and I’ll get the knives. No toilet rolls in either toilets

Absolutely brilliant service. Christina the waitress was an absolute pleasure. So polite and helpful. The manager was really helpful and also really pleasant . Food was lovely. Will definitely be returning. 😊

It’s was very lovely the staff were very friendly and one of them even complimented my outfit would come here again

We always travel from the Wirral to this particular restaurant as every time we come the service and food are of a high standard. Today we came as a group of 6 with wife and kids and mother and father inlaw. There was a lady on the bar serving who was so patient and friendly her name was sue..she is so professional and multi tasks like a pro. We then met Christina ...a new member of staff who made the 6 of us feel so welcome I felt like I was on holiday. Well done team 👏 a great team there in Cheshire oaks.....keep the staff and they all deserve a pay rise. Food was beautiful and we even tried the garlic mushroom starters which was amazing...10/10 for food service and 😃 smiles

Amazing service and help, even though it's very busy had the delicious crown of burgers and 2 Mediterranean sea bass, the employees were delightful and friendly. Highly highly recommended.

Great friendly welcome from Christina who found a table for us 😀....Tables was cleared away when people finished considering how busy it was . Thank you for a great service

Nice relaxed atmosphere for a lateish bite to eat (8.45pm) Slight problem with one of the drinks and changed over for us no problem at all. Sue was super helpful and a credit to the company

1 hour 15 minute wait for food line of 12 to get to order with 1 staff on the bar Looked to be 3 front staff for a full restaurant Paid extra for salt an pepper chip which was just that poor t tbh Long...

Food not great . Ordered chicken and bacon wrap . Barely any bacon and four strips of chicken with a cheese slice on top . Massive tortilla. It all looked lost . No flavour. Needed tons of mayo .

Popped in here for food before heading back to Telford after a long shopping trip. Everywhere else was full but we managed to get a table here. Food and staff were lovely but the whole pub needs a revamp. The cutlery was still dirty and...

Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Food was substantial and tasty for the prices. I had the mixed combo special on my first night and it was filling and chicken juicy. Second night I tried the Korean katsu burger with salt and pepper fries ,...

Desperately poor slow service, small range of drinks, no atmosphere and disappointing quality of food. They enjoy an unopposed location and choose to not be good at what they could do. A Greene King hostelry with no cask ale in sight and no ale if...

Horrendous experience avoid at all cost!!! We nipped in for a quick drink and still hadn’t received them 30 minutes later. Under the advice of the staff we ordered on the app as it would be “quicker” in their words. This is only the case...

Not our first visit here but it’s getting worse, didn’t leave a review last time as I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt but todays visit was shocking, not 1 clean table, guests walking round trying to find somewhere to sit...

Love this place, staff very friendly, especially sue. The food is really good. We often stop here for food and never had a bad meal

Lovely food, friendly service, accommodating to our family member who is in a wheelchair. Considering it all happened while a BMW was on fire outside, the experience was enjoyable and calm.

Stunning food for the price. Buy one get one free on the burgers which were really tasty. Staff were running around looking after everyone even though they short staffed

Came here last week to watch the woman's football and the girl behind the bar was very accomatimg and gave us a area to ourselves. THANKYOU!!!!

I was in yesterday afternoon with my husband and two children aged 4 and 10 years. I was so impressed , we were sat at a table immediately by Steph and though super busy we were warned there was a wait on food before we...

Absolutely shocking food. I ordered the steak sizzler and all of it was a tough as John Wayne's saddle. Complained and offer another steak, errrr no thanks, the first attempt was painful enough and I fancy keeping my teeth!!!

Should have listened to my heart on this one, my went as a group, my family and I were oringally going to go somewhere else but got talked to go here with others. Started off in the restuarant bizarely with them asking if we had...

Walk in and stand there for 10 minutes without being greeted, having walked up to the bar we were told just sit anywhere. Which would be fine is there was a free table that wasn’t stacked up with dirty plates and half drank glasses. Finally...

I attend the Cheshire Oaks venue most weeks with a young adult male who I support and we have a meal. Staff are so welcoming and make a big fuss of the person I am with. They are always pleasant, polite and will go the...

Turned up and had to wait 10 minutes to be told where to sit. Eventually someone came, repented to a table and said sit there. No apology for making us wait like idiots. Other customers queueing behind us were equally surprised at the attitude, it...

Great service and food, highly recommend. Sue the server was friendly, professional and very helpful :)

Visited here as recent visit to Grace Arms was not good, even after the manager asked me on here for a feedback they didn’t even respond to my feedback, rude and not professional at all. My visit here was a complete contrast, the staff were...

absolutely loved it here, staff were amazing and very helpful. sat us at a lovely table and food came out quickly. checked to make sure everything was okay and everyone was very polite. will definitely be returning

Horrendous is the only word I can use. Toilets not been cleaned in along time. Greeted by the person I assumed was the manager, no hello or good morning, told to sit at a table, no please. Wittnessed her being equally rude to other customers....

Toilets stuck of urine, dust on top of loo roll dispenser. Whilst eating staff shouting across the the tables to each other. Food ok for price.

Amazing staff lovely food always visit here with family, even when it’s busy staff are always smiling and friendly x

Amazing service will definitely return food was perfect and staff were lovely and polite couldn’t fault my experience

Staff was really friendly and a great environment to enjoy a meal with the family on a special occasion.

Great spot for a quick and cheap meal. Food, staff and atmosphere was great. Definitely coming back here again

Came for Mothers Day had a lovely experience. Service was fast, food was amazing, people were lovely, especially Bob who couldn’t ask enough if we needed anything else and do enough to accommodate us!

Pleasant surroundings and friendly staff. The food was served quickly and waiting staff were attentive but not in an annoying way. The barman Bob was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely visit again.

Visited for breakfast and will never return.Walked in to a rather hostile welcome to be told to sit at a double table over there,no welcome greeting whatsoever! Ordered and requested lightly done eggs and toast,when it arrived the toast was partly black,upon questioning this the...

Visited today for a family meal after a nice day out at the aquarium. We were shown to a table, we were not given any kids menus so I had to go find a member of staff to ask for some. Once seated a member...

We visit here as a family frequently, food is always amazing even when it’s busy staff are always smiling friendly and helpful x

We were taken to a dirty table that had glasses from the previous people. We had to ask staff to clean it when our food arrived. The food was cold, overcooked, rubbery and un edible. We left the majority of the food.

Extremely helpful despite being very busy. And even though there was a tech issue with the booking system we were accommodated

We had breakfast and also tea twice here which was excellent great service lovely staff food was great plenty to choose from and a good amount of food for excellent price would definitely visit again next time we are in Cheshire oaks

Bust and bustling and handled our table for 4 very well. Starter was the ultimate combo which was nice. Mains was hit and miss. The chicken and ribs was disappointing, chicken was under cooked and rather off putting. Table service was somewhat moody, only wanted...

Had the 15 ounce gammon meal and it was Best gammon steaks ever. Will be back. The staff were very friendly and service excellent.

The food was really good, steak cooked to perfection. Honestly can not fault our order. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming.
