Kingfisher in Cheshire West and Chester

First time in didn't eat but really good pint of Guinness although a bit pricey

We have eaten here a few times however our recent visit on Wednesday was the worst. One of the staff was quite rude when she brought the food out she may as well as threw it on the table it was as if everything was an effort. Food service was very slow and mine didn't arrive at the table for at least 5 mins after my husband's and his chips were cold. We often eat at another j w lees pub in Manchester and I'd rather travel there next time as I know the food and service there are excellent. It will be a while before we return again.

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😊

Food brilliant, service superb, what more could you want

Friendly family atmosphere. The staff are helpful, and they have a good range of beers.

Good pub food. Service very good. Great location.

Customer over from Minnesota. Good food choices. Philly Steak should be cut up pieces of meat, not one piece of steak. Thin chips=American fries. Service was good. Slightly noisy atmosphere, but only because I don't have kids myself. 4/5 🌟

There were seven of us the service was good we all enjoyed the food a good meal out

Brilliant pub. The staff were very hospitable and friendly. On hand to help us. Food was well good. Jay was exceptionally hospitable and helpful. Would recommend to anyone to come down

We regularly visit & have never been disappointed. Always delicious food & a great experience. However this time we would also like to do a huge shout out the our waiter, Luke. He was just lovely & went above & beyond while serving us. Such a polite, kind young man - thank you Luke!

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.

Good pub friendly staff and nice beer.

Cracking pub, great food, great service. Well cared for establishment.

Scored this 5/5 last visit (sea bass). Sadly our latest visit not as good. Service exceptional as was cleanliness, however we ordered fish goujons in a bap with skinny fries, coleslaw and tartar sauce. The goujons and tartar sauce were sublime, but the bap was two pieces of sliced bread and the chips and coleslaw, felt like budget supermarket buys. I don't like to leave less than 100% feedback, this is a first for me, but left feeling disappointed.

Stumbled across this beautiful pub on the way home. Instantly greeted by friendly staff. The food was delicious. Had the sage roasted chicken breast from the specials menu. 100% recommend. Unsure if it was the manager. Blonde lady was lovely.

I ordered a plate of fish and chips, at first it didn't cook properly, they changed it. Then it became crispy. After eating most of it, I realized that the menu should actually have tartar sauce on the plate, when I asked the waiter if you wanted any sauce after taking the orders, he said. I also said that we didn't want another sauce because there was sauce on the menu. And then he replied nonsensely. Isn't it weird to be asked about a sauce that should already be on the plate?

my old drinking hole! great atmosphere

Love this place friendly and welcoming...very unpretentious and relaxed great atmosphere for families

Very tasty traditional Roast beef Sunday dinner. My husband and myself had eaten here a couple of times and never disappointed so we decided to try Sunday roast beef and it was amazing! Will definitely be back soon. Amazing food and worth the price

10/10!! Amazing staff and lovely food. My daughter left here tamagotchi when we were travelling, Russel the assistant manager was very nice when we contacted him, he kept it to one side after trying to chase us into the car park but missed us. He even posted it to us for free. He truly made a little girl happy. Really nice guy the rest of the staff were great aswell, place was clean and tidy with great food

Visit regularly for drink and perhaps food once a week. The food is generally of an Ok standard but nothing special. I have been to far better Lees houses

We been there many times after tasting the fish and chips we have not been anywhere else

Quiet when we arrived strangely as work had finished, nice decor , friendly staff, good selection of food and wine, imagine it has a good atmosphere when busy

Staff went out of their way to cater for fussy eaters excellent service

Had the chicken salad. Very nice and a good portion. Not very busy at the time. Waitress very attentive, prices reasonable. Pub was clean and tidy.Will return at some point

Lovely staff and atmosphere, gammon very small and hidden under the egg 😄 haha

Only visited to see if they had a meeting room for upto 20 people. Unforunatley all open plan so could not help, perhaps they are missing out on an business oportunity

My mate had the Sunday lunch and he said it was very good.The ales are not the best kept and are often on the turn which is a real shame as that would put me off going in.The pub itself is nice and roomy with plenty of space outside.

There were 9 of us there this afternoon for Mother's Day and as usual we had a lovely time and a lovely meal. The staff are just lovely without exception. Special thanks to the lovely young lady with the blonde hair (sorry, I didn't get your name) who had a quick word with the chef and tailored my meal to help me stick to my Slimming World journey. I was extremely grateful and touched that you did that for me. I can't recommend this place highly enough. We live over in Bury but so enjoy coming here when we're over visiting family.

Really nice pub, visiting family after moving away from northwich 3 years ago and service has improved a lot, might have just caught staff on bad nights when I used to live here but the staff tonight were really friendly and personable. Drinks are reasonably priced and the pub has always been clean

I have had one of the best espresso martinis there. The food is amazing 😍.

Sunday Lunch spent here! Food was very good, well presented and plentiful. Very good service from staff.

Visitjng from ireland, Had a family gathering here, great spot, staff very friendly

Awful tasteless food! Service with a smile, but food absolutely terrible, how much work does a Cook need to do with frozen food !!! These places are getting worse, a chain so they have the cheapest ingredients possible and make the most amount of profit - and against all rules to allow vaping!!!

Went to The Kingfisher for lunch and we had a roast meat bap and a fish finger bap. The beef was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection, and there was plenty of it. The accompanying salad which I chose instead of chips was plentiful and fresh. My wife's fish fingers looked more like whole fish and this too was delicious. Add to that the fact that there was a discount if you ordered two main courses and you have superb value for money. The service was very attentive and efficient and we were made to feel welcome. There was a brown ale special beer on which was beautiful and that's coming from someone who normally drinks lager. It was a Thursday afternoon and was quiet but the pub looked well kept and clean with the sunlight flooding through the windows. It was freezing outside but lovely and cosy inside. I definitely recommend The Kingfisher as a great place to chill and get a nice lunch, especially in the middle of the week.

Very good service and was very good dealing with group I was with.

Had a fantastic 70th birthday gathering at the kingfisher pub, jay russell and Olivia were my contacts .Jays service was outstanding thank you so much Cathy and Sara Would highly recommend

This place is amazing!! The staff the atmosphere the welcome was all wonderful and the kids had the most amazing time meeting santa!!!!

Excellent meal enjoyed by the 6 of us. Pub was busy which set a perfect atmosphere. My son wanted something not on the menu and Jay (Member of staff) went the extra mile to accommodate my lads meal choice. Great evening. Thanks.

Stopped in for a quick drink whilst in the area. The pub was busy and had a really nice feel. The Xmas decorations were very pretty. Seems a lovely family friendly pub, hopefully will be returning for some food soon.

Lovely meal 😋 Would definitely recommend, good service , nice atmosphere 👍

Friendly staff, really tasty food.

Great to meet friends for Xmas work get together, service and foods great.

Came here for our Friday night ladies Christmas meal. It certainly didn't disappoint. The whole evening was brilliant. The food the service the amazing staff and wonderful atmosphere perfect. Would definitely recommend and will be back in the new year

Nice looking pub with mediocre food and semi decent service. Strange parking arrangements. Won't be going again

Great pub. Only came for a drink but they had a great selection and the staff are wonderful!

I know it is a monday evening but restaurant was empty. Steak was too fatty to chew and couldnt get a knife through it. Mince in the lasagne was mushy and tasteless. Only good thing were the chips which were nice and hot.

Note - gave the food 3 stars because I haven't eaten there in a while. Only went for drinks. Everything I saw looked good though. Great pub. Good selections for drinks (provided you're okay with Lees ) and good service. Great beer garden with plenty of seating including heated. Accommodates kids, dogs, the works.

Good food, great service and last night's bingo was great fun. Will do that again

Very friendly staff who cared and made sure we we happy with everything. Will certainly return.

Nice place. Could do with a refurb but enjoyed a beer in there.

Without doubt the best steak and ale pie I have ever had! A very big thick slice of pie full of succulent meat served with proper chips and mushy peas. Really great value too and close to an EV charge point.

Great night celebrating a birthday. Excellent service from staff. Will and jay went above and beyond to help out.

Pricey and some staff come across like they really can't be bothered. Other staff lovely.

Second time me coming here and once again Will served us, he was great bringing a calm atmosphere in a busy environment. Suggest me these messy fries instead of normal and they were the best fries ever, Thanks Will!

Twelve of us ate here and had great service and great food .

Great service and food, fair prices. Interior lovely.

Your server will was incredibly attentive, he was incredibly welcoming and we were always served with a smile, we will definitely come again!

I am really impressed from the service of Will, such a lovely young man made a great brownie that was perfectly presented and served me lots of ice water

Stopped on way to Liverpool boat ... will definitely be our goto place from now on when we use the ferry

Great atmosphere and decent choice of menu at affordable prices. Staff is very friendly, overall very good experience

Absolutely loved it!! Went with my best friend and the food was amazing in a generous portion too and the staff were so nice!!

Staff very polite and helpful and service was very good. Facilities and beer garden were ok. £16 for 2 drinks is ridiculous, food prices are not much better.

Amazing atmosphere and dog friendly. Russell is superb with the dogs.

We had a family 50th birthday party for a family member. The staff were very kind and helpful. There was a lot of inappropriate language coming from downstairs and lots of people shouting. We were upstairs, with elderly family, so that wasn’t appropriate. But overall a ok experience.

The staff were really attentive and helpful but the food was really bad. Poor quality and tasteless and just not good. Shame as nice inside but would never eat there again.

Food was hot and lovely to eat,thank you very much. Passed on how good it was for the chef to know good it was. Would definitely recommend the kingfisher again to anyone.

Great pub with lovely staff. Good choice of food but expensive compared to others locally. Great atmosphere for quiz night

Pleasant atmosphere , reasonably drinks and meals, one of the better locations in Northwich

Just an update to our 2022 review. Food, service and staff still very good. We now stop by at least once a week, Tracy, Russell & team always make us feel welcome.

Thanks to Charly and Ben for the excellent service and food, had a superb Sunday lunch. My brother and his partner thoroughly enjoyed their lemon chicken burgers! We will be back! Thanks again guys!

Дуже сподобалось гарний персонал

Lovely friendly staff. 2 out of 3 meals good.

Nice cheap food, very friendly staff... Please note the parking has changed you now have to pay at meter and can claim back if eating here

I recently visited the Kingfisher pub and I must say, it was a great experience overall. The food was consistently good and I appreciate the fact that I knew exactly what to expect. The staff were professional, friendly and very helpful, making the experience even better. One thing I particularly liked was how the food came out hot, which is always a plus in my book. I also found the meals to be very reasonably priced, which is always a bonus. Overall, the Kingfisher pub is a great place to grab a bite to eat or a drink with friends. The staff are attentive and the food is always good. If you're looking for a place where you know what you're getting and you know it will be good, then the Kingfisher is definitely worth checking out. I would highly recommend this place and would give it a solid four-star review.

Surprisingly good pub. Good crowd in creating decent atmosphere with some good J W Lees beers. No car park despite having the space. You have to park in shopping centre next door which is a bit weird.

Tracey and the team always make you feel welcome, great food and great service

Nice pub but the 2bigish guys where very disrespectful and rude disappointing to see. Rest of staff was good.

Good service, good food and very welcoming for dogs.

You don't expect packet smash to be on your Sunday roast in a restaurant..especially paying their prices. The beef roast wasn't worth the money at all.

The staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. The food was good and the surroundings were nice amd pleasant. Would recommend.

Lovely dog friendly pub good food great staff and a terrific selection of ales

The staff here are always so friendly. The food is lovely and great value for money.

Great service, faultless food at a reasonable price. Would definitely go again.

Lovely service, nice pub, but food is average for the price.

Friendly staff and good service, the food was nice and they had real mayonaisse (Helmans), the ovens had broken down but they made allowances.

No Atmosphere, Staff Clinical, Beer, Flavourless, More like a Cold City Pub, not what You'd expect on a Upmarket Estate in the Heart of Cheshire. I lived on the Estate since 1997 and it's always been the same, which is why I usually go to the Bulls Head, a far nicer Cheshire Pub with Good Food & Good Ale...........

Disgusted. As a regular customer refused entry for a quick pint around 7 pm while waiting for a takeaway as It was ticket only from 7.30. Had takeaway and walked to the bowling green where we were made to feel very welcome. Won't be going back as that's no way to treat people who use the pub all year round versus those that go out to the pub one night a year.

Christmas with santa excellent value for money kids loved it, had an entertainer music and games.staff helpful and friendly, will definitely book next year kids and adults really enjoyed it. Thanks

Great dinner, we went mid week. The service and ordering was a bit slow but probably due to it being mid week.

Food was good and plenty of it. Reasonable prices as well. Friendly staff.

Great local pub - lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Good selection of beer and other drinks. Nice food menu, with various offers throughout the week.

JWLees establishment...probably more comfortable in the summer..Beer very good and Not as pricey as their sister in Plumley.

Good food and service with a nice atmosphere. Menu is a traditional pub menu which I found little light on choice, underwhelming and basic. Priced about right for the area.

Lively place. Good beer and friendly staff

Always lovely. Great prices, great service and gluten free options (including roast dinner :))

We returned this evening after a family meal last month knowing we would have great food again and we weren’t disappointed. The staff were great too. Will definitely return soon 😊

My local! Great just to drop in for a pint light snacks or a full meal. Can get crowded at times but there's plenty of outside space.

Friendly atmosphere for all the family. Good food and a nice selection of drinks. Recommended

Cozy vibes and friendly staff. The three cheese pie was amazing. Will defo come again!
