Old Hall Farm in Cheshire West and Chester

I recently indulged in the best roast dinner I've had in ages at a delightful carvery where the star of the show was none other than Frankie, the charming and attentive young man known as the "Carvery Prince." From the moment I walked in, Frankie greeted me with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm that made me feel right at home. The roast was cooked to perfection—succulent meat, crispy Yorkshire puddings, and an array of fresh, flavorful vegetables that were complemented by a stunning gravy. The whole experience was elevated by Frankie's impeccable service, as he made recommendations with a personal touch and ensured every detail met my satisfaction.

The only thing that was good was the nachos. The drinks are small and some of the food is still missing.

Following a busy day at Cheshire Oaks we called in here for a couple of drinks and a well deserved break. This is a very well presented pub with some good outside areas. The carvery is very popular and the food portion sizes for the other choices are big!

This used to be one of our favourite places to eat. I will very much consider ever going here again. We came in between Christmas and new year and numerous times prior. The new manager needs to get a grip on things! This used to be such a warm a friendly environment to come and dine in. Now you can tell that the team are visibly unhappy. I would love to say this to the new manager but haven’t had the chance of seeing them yet.

Ww arrived ro a friendly welcome we had pre booked so was shown to our table. We ordered at the bar which was very easy. The food arrived and was amazing. This was our second visit travelling 45mins to get to you as the first meal we had was so good and this was nothing short of outle first experience. Food was prepared and cooked lovely kids enjoyed and desserts went down a treat.

Greatly appreciated the staff service and the food was fantastically. Good portions band gold valued.

Came for a team lunch on a weekday and obviously others were doing the same so was quite busy particularly for the carvery. In spite of this all our food arrived as was ordered, was hit and fresh. Service at the bar was also fast. Would recommend and will return again soon

Terrible no staff lots of items unavailable food poor to say the least

Good friendly staff, lovely meal, sorted a booking mix-up (my error) with no problem

Nice pub always welcoming neva had a problem the staff are very helpful and a great team very clean and tidy I would recommend this pub to anyone with families

It was boxing day 3.00 p.m. We had a table booked for 13 people and had previously provided the pub with a detailed list of what everyone wanted for their starter, main meal and dessert. The food overall as ok, although 4 of us had breaded mushrooms with garlic dip and only one of us got their dip! We waited 20 mins for the other 3 to be served. The service was terrible, the staff tried their best but the place has a new manager, who has cut staffing levels back. Only 4 servers operating at such a busy time . We were there nearly an hour before our starters came and then it was just one new lad who was only capable of carrying to meals at a time, so it took several longish trips back and forth from the kitchen for him to finally serve all the starters. Absolute shambles. Despite us giving them a clear list of our requirements beforehand some people were missed off and others were served the wrong meals. Worst Boxing Day meal we have had there, and we have been going there many years This new manager is hopeless, most of the staff (who we know very well) are fed up with her way of treating them. She never comes out front of house to talk to customers, to ask if everything is ok with our meals, etc. This place is going to loose lots of loyal customers, not to mention many loyal and lovely staff members. Such a crying shame

Great food. Great price. Great service

We went there for my partner's 70th birthday .NEVER AGAIN ,he ordered fish and chips ,fish was mostly batter which was quite hard ,apple crumble ( his favourite ) was BLAND not taste or flavour to it ,NOT A VERY NICE BIRTHDAY MEAL . NO coke ,NO lemonade , not good if your are driving so had to make do with nothing as dont drink hot drinks . Even the mixed grill was not available .NOT GOOD ENOUGH ,We will not be back in a hurry ,or even recommend to family or friends . Things need to change QUICKLY

Easy to book the table and time no issue at all upon our visit was greeted at the door nice touch. Shown to our table and asked if we had any food intolerance. Ordered food and drinks was informed when to go get the carvery due to other mains coming to the table so we all could eat together. Start to finish no problem and no issue lovely meal

TERRIBLE, waited over 5 minutes to be welcomed as there was only 12 people in the restaurant not a good start ,went up to the bar again waited over 5 minutes as there was no-one serving then told no coke lemonade soft drinks ect as no deliveries ordered food , had to choice again as not available ,ordered fish and chips inedible batter hard ,fish poor tried,desert apple crumble and ice cream again very poor it would be better not to open if they cannot serve food that,s on the menu really need to up their game willnot be going back and definitely will not recomend to family and friends

Great food, Great friendly staff, thank you 👌👍❤️

Service slow because we were forgotten about

Don't rush to sample this poor offering, no one else did!

As always Really good service and food Staff lovely Shout out to Kieran, Kirsty and Ant, all very helpful and friendly Thank you

Food was not so great. Chicken wings were dry/vercooked, festive burger was not so great and not very tasty at all. Best thing was the kids fish fingers!

Carvery is always superb. Nice that they announce when non-carvery dishes are about to be served, so we can all eat together if someone doesn't opt for the carvery.

A great place to go for a superb meal and atmosphere. A special heads up for KIRSTY, whose service and pleasant attitude made it a special evening for us.

We went to Old Hall Farm for our Works Christmas Party on 17th Dec for the 3 Course Festive Menu. We were looked after by Kirsty who did a fantastic job of looking after us all making sure that everything was served as was requested and on time. We had a lovely meal, Starters were lovely, The Carvery was great - 3 choices of Meat plus plenty of Vegetables, Potatoes and Various Condiments. After managing to finish such a large amount of food - we moved onto Dessert and Banoffee Tart, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Lemon Tart all served with a good helping of Vanilla Ice Cream. It was one of the Best Xmas works lunches we have been on and i couldnt fault the food or the service. Thank you for the all staff but especially Kirsty for looking after us. A Happy Xmas Team x

Had the Sunday Carvery , it was lovely can't wait to go back

Service was great served by Tom!

Very friendly and helpful staff staff with a good food and choice. Will go again.

Carvery was freezing cold, roast potatoes were rock hard, even the gravy was cold. No excuse as the place was full and a queue for the carvery, so turnover in the food should have meant it was hot. Will not be visiting again in a hurry.

Excellent service, great tasting food, quick service and very helpful. Will definitely be back. Warm welcome from all staff.

Always go here on our annual trip to Cheshire Oakes

We were a party of 4 and we each chose the carvery. We were very pleased we did ad Aaron who served the carvery was very welcoming and is a credit to the company. Nothing was too much trouble and he made us feel very welcome and very relaxed. Thank you, we will be back as the carvery was lovely and good value for money.

All of the staff ensured that the gluten free person in our party was safely served. All the food was served quickly and hot. The drinks were also served in a timely manner. The carvery was lovely too.

A little pricey but food was great and service was fantastic

A most enjoyable experience. It was my first time at this place and i definitely will be going back. There is plenty of parking spaces, the service was quick and my meal was lovely. The staff are very helpful and polite. A very warm welcome feeling.

Excellent night with family. Very friendly staff, good service. Menu offered plenty of choice for all. Thank you we will be back again soon!

Good food, great service. Comfortable and nice atmosphere, but coffee machine not working so only had instant coffee (no thanks). Good value for money.

Not a good experience. I was emailed a discount voucher but was not allowed to use it. Apparently you cannot use a voucher when eating with big groups, despite the fact that I was only ordering for 2 people and was placing the order at the bar myself!!

Cold chips hot chocolate was like hot water

It was a great experience, everyone was soo friendly especially the Carvery server, thanks very much.

Generally good , but had a few occasions now where we were waiting for some meats for the roast and then had to wait ages for the gravy to come out.This is for the carvery on a Sunday

Really great carvery, good value for money, would recommend

Easy booking system, great food and service

Brilliant place to visit . Tina was so happy to see you as always. Food is always great and team seen to happy at what they do.

My daughter disappointed with her sirlion steak. Quality is awful. The garnishing make you lost your appetite.

Food was lukewarm meat was dried out and very tough especially the beef roast potatoes were awful the only thing that was hot was the gravy my grandson was still hungry so had to order extra chips for him I did inform management he replied he would pass that information onto the head chef ?? Wasn’t the solution I wanted but lesson learned won’t be going again.

Excellent service and great value/ choice of good

Greatvcarvery. Excellent staff. Thanks to Tina.

If you like eating food at different times to the rest of the people on your table it's the plane for you the food itself is good

Food very poor, chips hard, overcooked and cold, pie very overcooked and dry and pastry hard ! Very disappointed!

Went on a Wednesday early doors 12oclock , four of us me and my brother both had a cowboy burger is wife had a veggie sandwich and my partner had a jacket potato.no problems with burgers but should not ask you if you want extras with them onion rings £3pound for three the lady's went the bar no table orders one said yes one no if you are putting them on the menu put them on ,not as extras. Over all fine I live in Liverpool the price of the drinks I thought is rather expensive for a run of the mill pub That is only my opinion.

Nice place, nice staff, nice food, at a good price.

Not often I search out a place to write a bad review but felt the need this time. Went to the bar to order some food after looking at what was a fairly decent menu and ordered 2 sausage & mash with some drinks. One of the staff then cake to us about 5 minutes later. They had run out of Cumberland sausage but offered us the sausage from the child menu. Opted for the gammon egg & chips only for the same staff member to appear and say they had no gammon either. He then told us they had no fish or pie either. Some both ended up with scampi. Just find it ridiculous that a place of this size had 4 of the staples out of stock on a Tuesday evening at 7pm.

Always nice food Lovely and quiet Staff are always nice and friendly No complaints at all

Very friendly welcome,very friendly efficient bar staff & the young man serving on the carvery was very friendly & helpful-we thoroughly enjoyed everything.

This Pub/Restaurant looks really welcoming from the outside. We stopped here for our evening meal on our way home from shopping. We found a table and ordered our meals but one option was unavailable so we ordered another meal. We waited about half an hour and our meals arrived. My Husbands meal was warm, my meal was cold, the gravy had a skin on it, the only meal that was hot was the Lasagne. The young woman serving the meals apologised, she changed the chips and gravy only, the peas were stone cold and the pie was barely warm! If all of the meals had have been served hot, our experience here would have been positive and most enjoyable! How hard is it to serve a hot meal and how does the kitchen staff think that it is acceptable to serve cold food, would they be happy to be served a cold meal; I think not! Going out for a meal is a luxury these days; this was a waste of good money, so disappointing! The restaurant itself has a lovely, relaxing, friendly atmosphere.

Old hall farm is a great place to eat out and relax with friends and family after a hard day! The price of the food is affordable and can’t be beaten anywhere else. Me and my friends came here for a birthday meal and had an amazing time. Shout out to chef Aaron for his enthusiasm and dedication when serving at the carvery. Would definitely recommend this place and come back myself

My friends and I went to have a birthday meal, the food was great and the service was even better! Especially Aaron who was working the Carvery section, good conversation and laughs! Would definitely come back again

Excellent service, good food, and a pleasant atmosphere 👌

Friendly staff Very helpful and polite Sunday Carvery is very nice Good variety of meats and vegetables

Cracking pub, delicious food, friendly staff ,

What happened yesterday waited 30mins had to go elsewhere

This was our first visit to the old hall farm, it won't be our last. The premises is well presented, clean and well lit, the staff are welcoming and friendly, the choice of food and drink is plentiful with well known top brands available. The food (carvery) was freshly prepared and hot, the chef who served us was friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and well cooked. To summarise, I highly recommend the old hall farm, it is a perfect location for a quiet meal which also caters for larger parties.

Lovely place staff great and so friendly. Especially Aaron on the carvery

India our waitress was very polite and helpful

Lovely & clean seating areas. Great selection of food & carvery. Friendly staff, good value & reasonable waiting times. Aaron was lovely to chat too.

The minute you walk in the feeling is relaxed and Dan’s & Lauren’s Team take care of you. The food is delicious and great value for money. The pub is also clean, bright and good range of beers!

Great experience from start to finish; great food, friendly staff and very reasonably priced for a family of 3 (or more)

We love this pub. Great for Sunday lunch. With options other than carvery if wished. Really family friendly with kids play area/activity area inside and out and good range of options for little ones. Staff are always super helpful and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble no matter how busy they are. Fantastic value for money.

The staff are always friendly and attentive in particular Lauren who always goes the extra mile to ensure that we are well looked after! A brilliant place for the whole family!

Friendly, happy atmosphere as always. Clean and well presented. Lovely staff. Delicious food. Carvery was on top form!

Always brilliant food and service.

Old hall farm ellesmere port around 4th August. Me an 2 friends called in after outlet village shopping. I got starter garlic mushrooms, the sauce was so bitter I couldn't eat them, it tasted like strong vinegar or mustard, couldn't taste the mushrooms or garlic flavour. Seriously Garlic mushrooms, how can you get it so wrong. My friend got vegetarian option, the slab of cheese was very very cold, like it had been in the chiller. She couldn't eat it. We got steak pie, omg the chips where disgusting, like the oil was off, then I noticed other tables, were everyone else had left their chips untouched. I have never complained bout chips before, but disgusting. Both steak pies wer burnt, the steak like charcoal and the crust so try it crumbled.our friend was treating us to the meal for our birthdays, so we was embarrassed to complain, plus she is shy. When I got home she phoned me to apologise as the food was awful. The 1 star was for the employees who where very nice, and the place did have a warm atmosphere when we arrived. I'm sorry for leaving a negative review, but the food was appalling. We will not return, time and money was waisted. I could never recommend this place to eat. But there is lots of positive reviews.

Nice restaurant in a good location. Good food and atmosphere with excellent staff.

Meal was nice and good price. Great customer service

Good price-performance ratio. Food good. Nice service.

Lovely place to go with friends or just for 2 staff were lovely and food hot and tasty

Lovely food and excellent service by Reece!! Reece was extremely friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble for him! Outstanding customer service from him!! 👏👏👏

Alyssa was an amazing server. Extremely bubbly and a really lovely girl! Will be returning :) Food is absolutely stunning

Lovely Sunday lunch out! Gorgeous service from Alyssa!!!!

Went for lunch on a Saturday at 12pm and had a carvery each and a dessert. Alyssa, our waitress was friendly and polite and the guy serving the carvery was awesome. Food was great, as usual and we got 30% off our mains which was a lovely added bonus. Highly recommended as one of the best carvers in the area.

Fantastic and friendly service from Reece food was tasty

Food was great, best steak i have had from a pub. Reece was a great help with anything we needed

Our server was Reece who was absolutely lovely and food came out quickly.

All the staff were very welcoming and helpful. Reece was very pleasant and nothing was to much trouble.

Fantastic place plenty of parking, meal was great and our Waitress, Alyssa was very attentive.

Lovely food & great friendly service from Reece!

Visited old hall farm at Cheshire Oaks today 03/09/24 the food was excellent as was the service , we had a lovely lunch - thankyou

Great place, the carvery is the best I've ever had

Reece made the visit enjoyable. Attentive and professional

Not a great experience massive queue because service was slow food was underwhelming meat was very fatty and screaming kids ruined the experience wont be coming back

The carvery was really good, and bearing in mind it was only £12, I was very impressed. The staff were really nice and couldn't do enough for us. A gem 👌🏼
