Kingfisher in Cheshire West and Chester

We live on Kingsmead and have been regular visitors to the Kingfisher for over 20 years. We went in tonight and left after one drink. It’s tired and the seating in areas is ripped. Really sad . It needs a refurb and we won’t be back before this!

Gave feedbck about undercooked chicken. Without looking at it message came back from "chef" saying it's bn probed it's fine. There was an area visily undercooked as in blood stll evident.

Awesome place. Staff are amazing, especially Jay, who served us all night. We stayed longer because of him.

We are visiting from Australia and enjoyed this pub and its food a couple of times during a previous visit. Not to be repeated this trip! We walked in on a Tuesday evening just after 7pm. We settled into one of the booths and checked out the menu. When I got up to go to the bar to order food and drinks, the barman called out to us and said the kitchen was closed! Wow! We walked out at 7.15pm - No food, No drinks. Ten minutes later, we were welcomed at The Hayhurst Arms in Bostock by friendly staff and amazing food. Do yourselves a favour😊

Been here several times with my daughter,granddaughters and friends. The food and service is always really good. This time was no exception. Luke is a credit to your team,very polite and attentive.

Last minute drop in on a busy Friday. The landlady seated us at a nice quiet table and staff were very friendly and helpful. No waiting for drinks or food. Went for Philly Cheese Steak (highly recommend) will be back again in the near future 5/5!!!!!

What a fantastic place, all staff are so friendly and very accommodating Had my daughters baby shower there today and it was just perfect 🤩 Buffet was amazing would highly recommend and will definitely be going back and most definitely book for further party’s

Fantastic place to eat and drink. Staff always friendly and welcoming .would recommend to anyone. Also dog friendly which is a bonus

Excellent meal, lovely food, service was great, very friendly. Thanks so much, we will come back again.

A very nice restaurant, the service could have been better but was still good, a good children’s menu and a great adults menu. Delicious food!

Our favourite place to go whatever the time. Amazing morning coffee, pub lunches and evening meals. Sunday dinners and fish + chips are the best we’ve tasted. The staff at the kingfisher are excellent, warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home.

We went on a Wednesday night and took advantage of the pie and pint offer. The cheese pie and the steak and ale were both delicious. And exceptional value with the drink included. It was also quiz night which is great fun with prizes to...

We had Sunday roast (again), and as usual, it was fantastic. Great ambience, excellent value for money and the jewel in the crown, the staff. Friendly, professional and attentive. Highly recommend the Kingfisher as a place to eat, or just a quick drink.

Had a meal with the family here, great service and the food was delicious! Will definitely be going back 👍🏻

Me and my partner had an absolutely fantastic Sunday roast! Highly recommend! Fantastic service from all the staff too.

We called in the kingfisher by chance as we were staying nearby first impressions were favourable it was quite busy with people enjoying drinks al fresco and a good atmosphere inside the customers were mainly locals after getting drinks from a very busy bar area...

Family visit for Mothers Day, absolutely awful. Live on Kingsmead and our family were regular visitors when the previous landlady was there. Since her departure the place has taken a dive. The food is OK but the service and atmosphere is rubbish. Today we arrived...

Food was great, good atmosphere and friendly staff, all round enjoyable evening. Would recommend to anyone

We haven’t visited the kingfisher for some time but decided to check it out before valentines. We won’t be back again any time soon. Uninspiring menu, customers allowed to vape inside, zero atmosphere. There is nothing welcoming about this place.

It was a five star trip and the staff should be very proud of themselves. Food was of a good quality but the chips were a bit flat.

Good night out on New Year Eve Best Dj Mike he played good music Place nice clean and lots space around the pub

7 o'clock and quite on a new year's eve and won't let a regular in for one pint while waiting for their takeaway as its "TICKET ONLY" . Shocking service and shows how they value their regulars. Will be going anywhere but there in the...

Well worth a visit, great entertainment for the kids Breakfast well worth the money, staff friendly and helpful

Family decided to take a walk to the Kingfisher on a snowy Saturday in December for a quick lunchtime drink. We watched the snow start up again and decided to have lunch there, too. We chose meals from the lunchtime menu and went to order...

Very warm welcome. The bar staff gave the dogs a bowl of water and some doggie snacks upon arrival which was a lovely gesture. Excellent service.

The steak pie was probably the best filled steak pie ever. So much meat. It was brilliant. Had a conversation with the bar staff about Sweeney Todd

Amazing recommend to all my friends and family lovely and charming bar and amazing foods good choice of gin

Whilst on holiday in the area I googled places to go for a Sunday roast ~ so lucky we choose The Kingfisher! The staff were friendly and welcoming and the place was spotlessly clean. This pub is obviously very well run by the manageress &...

Horrid days work-we left this pub happy and full due to service we received from Jenna!! True star! Thank you. Will definitely return

We have been here now on a number of occasions and the Sunday dinner is consistently amazing! One thing that stands out on every visit is the staff, so friendly and pleasant, we have enjoyed yet another afternoon, thank you so much, see you again...

We've lived in the area for more than 20 years (certainly been here longer than the pub itself) and throughout that time have been routinely disappointed at the quality of the meals, so much so that we've largely avoided what should be our local. However...

Great food, great ambience and fabulous staff. Would highly recommend the cheese and onion pie. Will be back

Absolutely fantastic night food amazing staff amazing cannot fault we were let down where we usually go but this was truly amazing they were packed out but still got amazing service from friendly attentive staff nothing was too much trouble I can highly recommend the...

My mum recently celebrated her 70th birthday and we were struggling for a venue for 19 guests due to heavy winds causing power cuts. We were accommodated at the kingfisher and the service and food was exceptional. The hosts were so attentive and nothing was...

Served by Tracie, loverly service with a personal touch. Lovely food and atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Great food , great atmosphere and really nice drinks . Our server Nathan was really nice and attentive, especially with our 4 year old who really liked him . Will definitely be back!

We had dinner at Kingfisher. The food was excellent _ i had the Prawn and Chorizo starter which was tasty and good but not too filling, followed by a Steak with Peppercorn Sauce which was tender and tasty, with excellent chips. My wife had the...

The staff were lovely and accommodating. We had to change our booking twice due to traffic and this was no trouble at all. In fact all the staff were smiley and polite. We had two mains and two children’s meals. Portion sizes were good and...

We couldn’t of asked for a better experience!! The gentleman there James is one of the nicest guys we’ve ever met... Professional, friendly, warm, welcoming & he couldn’t of been more attentive to us!! An all round lovely guy 👌🏼 The food was amazing (fresh,...

Went with a few friends passing through for lunch one day, James was absolutely brilliant with the service and the whole bar had a lovely feel to it. Food was delicious and we all left very happy.

I have never been to The Kingfisher in the 12 years that I’ve lived in Northwich so when I was invited to my friends engagement party which was taking place there I was excited to go. I was really surprised at how nice it was!...

Great service from waitress Mia - massive smile on her face! Couldn’t have been more attentive. Great pub, well worth a visit!

We visited the kingfisher on a sunday, the food was better than your average pub grub, and also this is a great place for families as we felt very welcomed by the staff. We had a really good family meal,decent prices and a great selection...

Had a family meal to celebrate my daughter heading to university, and decided a Sunday roast was a good choice. We were not disappointed. There was a choice of meats, beef, turkey and ham and you could have 2 of those. The plates came out...

The cod goujons snack were perfect, fresh lovely crispy batter and a good amount of fish. Snoopy enjoyed the very tasty burger (hold the cheese,bun and fries of course!)I ate the salad instead.😊 Dogs made very wecome inside, away from main restaurant, the outside seating...

Great pub ,good location,friendly helpfull staff and the food is off a good quality tastes fresh and homemade (Not ding n ping)like what u get in some other places nearby..Wonderful I shall be returning to sample more tasty treats!

I had lunch here today with my nephew and sister, we were greeted by a smile from Luke and shown to a table straight away. The service was personal and fast, and the food was very good too!

Really nice afternoon helped by a great waitress called Freya. she was a pleasure to have serving us. Must say the service was a little slow but i believe they were short staffed. Food was good and enjoyed by all. We were a party of...

Really fantastic breakfast, best one in Northwich. Really fresh and cooked perfectly. The only place for me that has a vegetarian option that tastes nice! Great service and great value for money.

Myself and my partner were visiting our friend in Northwich who recommended Kingfisher and we popped in for a bite to eat, our waitress Freya greeted us, pointed us towards a private booth and sorted us out with drinks and gave her personal recommendations, we...

My son and I visited today after just moving to the area. The pub is large bright clean and the staff were friendly and attentive. Today we were served by Abbie and freya.i had a turkey roast which came with a huge Yorkshire pud which...

Went on a Friday night for a quick bite to eat and a g&t. Couldn’t hear anything because of the piles of kids running around unsupervised by parents. Whilst not the pubs fault, they do not seem to discourage it and therefore are alienating people...

The Kingfisher has been my local pub for a number of years and it has been a place of many good times and memories. The staff are great, very friendly and you are able to have a laugh with them. The food is good and...

This is my local pub and it’s absolutely brilliant. Perfect for any occasion with it being a family do or a boozy evening with friends. it never fails. Great food and drink, lovely friendly staff and not too expensive.

Cannot recommend highly enough, staff are all friendly and helpful. Lovely outdoor seating area to while away sunny afternoons and great events running throughout the year

We popped in here on a Monday evening for a couple of drinks and had a really nice time - beautiful building and really nice, well-kept interiors.

I have been here a few times now and always have a great time. The staff are really friendly and there’s always a great atmosphere even if it’s the day time. James in particular is so welcoming. He remembers us every time we have been and always has a spare moment to have a chat or ask if we are having a good night. Love it here and enjoy spending my time with friends and family especially as it’s really family friendly the kids love it.

Fancied a roast dinner so called in here on a whim. Lovely pub, staff were very friendly and helpful. We were recommended the gammon and it was gorgeous! Great food, quick service and reasonable price for the quality and quantity. Will definitely be back again.

Friendly staff, good portions, nice outside space. Very dog friendly. Parking in mini shopping arcade adjacent. Highly recommend.

my girlfriend and i were visiting friends in the area and we were recommended the kingfisher to go and eat at. when we arrived we were greeted with a warm hello and a smile, made us feel very welcome. great service from James and Luke who couldn’t do enough to make our visit a great one. food was all we could of wished for. keep up the good work all

This place is great for going out with friends and socialising. The staff are all vey warm and welcoming and has a very friendly vibe. The food is also great with a great selection.

The kingfisher provided us with great service from a waiter named Luke. He was attentive and made sure we were well looked after. The food was amazing, chicken was cooked perfectly!

Recently visited with my friends. Such a lovely outside area to enjoy the gorgeous weather. The food was delicious and a great choice of drinks. Thank you James for being so welcoming, we had a fantastic time and will definitely be back!

I have just had my baby shower here and had a wonderful time. Everything about the day was perfect from start to finish. The staff are so welcoming, and made a lovely fuss of my partner and I.

The pub itself is homely with a great beer garden that kids can enjoy, the food and drinks choice is lovely but what makes it great is the warming staff. Would definitely recommend.

Visited this beautiful airy pub In August.. bit reluctantly as I’m not keen on pub food ..but was pleasantly surprised as the food was excellent.. hot and beautifully presented.. what was even more pleasant was the staff .. friendly , nothing to much trouble ... young manager I think tall dark lad with a southern accent was funny .. polite and couldn’t do enough for us .. will be back ..

I came here for a meal for my partners birthday, we had an amazing meal and the experience was so special, James who served us went the extra mile in everything he did to make our meal stand out from any where else. Would recommend this place to anyone, for meal or just drinks!

For those 1 star reviews back in 2016 i think you should really reconsider and re visit the food was amazing the service was amazing very friendly and welcoming staff, food portions where generous and just enough both for mains and dessert and reasonably priced. My wife, family and I had a fantastic time and we will be 100% revisiting at some point in the future thank you to the staff for giving my wife a great birthday evening.

I recently had a meal with some friends, and James who served us was extremely helpful, cheery and chatty, making the evening even more fantastic. Thanks so much! Will definitely be back soon :)

The service is efficient, with very friendly staff. The food is to a high quality. Highly recommend for any type of occasion

I recently spent a day in The Kingfisher pub with friends. The weather was lovely so we sat outside in the beer garden. It’s really spacious and has a climbing area for the kids. We had some lunch which was lovely and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere in the pub was great with everyone having an amazing day. The staff were brilliant and served us with a smile. Our waitress Jenna, was really helpful and attentive. I will definitely be back to The Kingfisher!

We love visiting this place, and are so pleased it is local to us. The staff are very friendly and efficient at the bar, which is what you need!

Friendly staff who make you feel welcome! Always have events on, with a great atmosphere and excellent to have as our local.

I visit this pub regularly and love it. Very friendly and attentive staff and great food and atmosphere. Well worth a visit if your in the area.

Always a great time at the Kingfisher whether I’m there with friends, kids or the other half! The whole team are great but James is a particularly great host!

Great food,Good service especially James who always looks after us.Amazing Puddings. Good Value for money!!

Great Pub with great friendly staff nothing too much trouble great for families too... Has a great outside area for this lovely weather... Food is good with specials and good childs menu Worth a visit

I am a regular visitor of The Kingfisher as it is our local pub. The service is always top notch and it is very family friendly!! To be acknowledged every time we go in adds a lovely personal touch, even though we don't always have something to eat the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff is outstanding!! Highly recommended by us a deffo full 5 stars!!! Thanks to James Steven Fisher and all the team! Top marks for top service from us xxx

My family ate at The Kingfisher tonight and we couldn't fault it. Of particular note was the excellent homemade cheese and onion pie, all washed down with the best pint of San Miguel around. We got great service from the team especially James, Ross and Mia. Thanks for a great night.

The Kingfisher has been my local for a couple of years now. I spend at least two days a week here either for alcohol drinks, a delicious meal (particularly the cheese and onion pie), or to participate in the weekly Thursday quiz.

This was our second visit and yet again I was very impressed. We returned because I wanted to try their roasts and I wasn't disappointed, it was the best I have had in a long time (and I'm a fussy eater!) It was so tasty, veg cooked just how i like it and a decent portion The service was great from start to finish, and they were very attentive, nothing was too much trouble. The place was very clean and I would definitely recommend. Five stars all round. Well done, will come back again.

Lovely evening, very good food. James made us feel very welcoming.

Enjoyed our visit on a Friday night . Great service and food. Good selection of food and drinks on the menu

Went in with a few friends and the food was amazing. The staff really friendly and the pub was lovely. Couldn't recommend highly enough

Poor food presentation and bland food! Chicken pasta dish had a watery sauce, overcooked pasta and little flavour! Very dis-appointing especially as listed on the 'specials' board! There was nothing special about this not even the response to the feedback. We were asked whether everything was ok with the food. This was right at the end just to clear the table not during the food. I fed back that I wasn't impressed; the dish was bland, tasteless and I left most of it. The only reply was, "sorry about that"! Then followed immediately with "does anyone want desserts"? That reaction plus poor food is not a quality customer experience. Recommend you save your money; plenty of other places will provide better quality food & customer focus!!

We've tried this pub in the past and were disappointed with the food. But yesterday we were so impressed! A new menu offers something for everyone and every dish was cooked to perfection. Really tasty dishes and the best chips in the area! What made the evening so special however was the efficiency and politeness of the staff. They simply couldn't do enough for us. Absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back. Keep up the great work.

We're lucky enough to have this lovely pub as a local and we regularly visit for food, drinks or sometimes just a coffee in the sun so that our two year old can play in the park.

Went for a couple of drinks and bite to eat. Drinks expensive, food below average - both had burger & chips served on wooden board not very tasty. Not great service, would save my money next time - much better places within the area.

Not from around the area, popped in early afternoon with my partner before an appointment. Being the first food order of the day we ended up waiting 40 minutes for food, staff were apologetic and advised due to an error the order was not submitted to the kitchen, we were offered a free drink however due to the delay didn’t have much time to eat which did ruin the lunch.

Went for a quick lunch but honestly should of gone somewhere else??long wait for poor quality food,see pics..small portions for price I thought ..bit disappointing hope it's sorted soon..

We ordered the large Messy Chips to share between two of us. What arrived would count as a side order anywhere else and would be a third of the price. £6 for a handful of chips with a few blobs of meat and cheese on top. See photo. It was nice but far too small a portion for the price.

Just had lunch and i’d have to say that the food was amazing.

Excellent Setting, fab Christmas Fayre Meal, good customer service, family friendly. Would recommend.

Called in for a dinner one afternoon. Pleasant surroundings and a good variety of food on the menu. Prompt service with very polite friendly staff. Food was good quality, hot and very tasty. Average pub prices.

Staff and atmosphere great beer and wine s little pricey dog friendly pub gets quite busy at the weekend

This is a chain pub with a straightforward menu that represents a good range of value for money options. There is a selection of well-kept real ales, served by knowledgeable staff. The pub is spacious and the atmosphere is relaxed. Aside from the food it's a nice place for just a drink. It's family-friendly and there is also seating outside.

We came here to eat as it had been recommended it didn’t disappoint, the food was good honest pub food very filling and good value for money. Staff very engaging. Will return.

Called in, not for first visit but first with a dog. We sat out side. Fresh water was brought to the table for the dog. He had complementary dog biscuits from the bar.

Met friends, ordered meal which was in fairness, very good. However, the evening was spoilt when a customer arrived with a dog, was not only allowed to bring the dog into a place where we were eating, but then proceeded to sit the dog on the bar stool....! Bar staff allowed this & neither the owner nor the staff showed any regard for the other customers when the dog continued to bark & whimper !!! Sadly this is NOT a place I would recommend if you just want to meet friends & have a meal and chat in peace....!!! Will not be visiting again.

Can't fault the food or service, the steak and ale pie had lots of meat and was delicious. The desert was unusual but good. Also some decent beer available, the service was very good
