Pesto at the Cabbage Hall in Cheshire West and Chester

Another superb meal (family of 8) Never disappointed here, the food was fantastic again. Lovely service from Paulo. Will be back soon.

Had a great lunch date with my friends, Paulo was our waiter and he was very helpful and friendly, he made sure we had drinks and checked on us regularly. My nut allergy friend felt very seen and they took great care of him even bringing out his food separately. The food was really great and we had a lovely time.

Had a lovely experience here with my family. Food was lovely and our server Pavlov was so polite and very helpful. Definitely would recommend!

I came for lunch with my daughter and granddaughter, and our server Pavlo was great. Pavlov was attentive and ensured our order was correct, tasty, all while keeping my granddaughter entertained and amused. Nothibg was too much trouble for Pavlo, which was great appreciated. The food was delicious (as always), with something for everyone. Great place for any occasion 😀

We were 3 ladies out to lunch, each of us ordering 3 individual meals from the small dishes menu. Two dishes (CANNELLONI RICOTTA E SPINACI and LASAGNA AL RAGÚ ) had plastic shards in the food. The manager identified the foreign objects as part of the individual packaging that the meals are delivered in "pre-prepared & packaged so only needing sauces or garnishing" (his words!) We completed a complaint form. He reduced the food bill by 50% & replaced the dishes affected. HOWEVER... following todays experience, I am disillusioned with Pesto. How fresh is fresh??? I have eaten many times at different Pesto restaurants, enjoying the food believing it to be freshly prepared and cooked to order. But it appears this isnt technically true! Is Pesto deceiving their customers? I think they are... It transpires food is not actually being made fresh within resturants. I discovered that the vast array of dishes are decanted to order, onto the individual serving plates, heated up, garnished... served to customers. So food is delivered to resturants not as individual ingredients but as complete meals in individual packaging .. just like ready meals! The garnish and sauces added before service are freshly made. Customers believe food us cooked fresh to give an authentic italian experience - as indicated on the website. This isnt technically correct and is a blatant advertising deceit (contravening an advertising law??) On our visit for example, we found it strange there were no potato dishes available. As there is a farm shop next door (with potatoes!) why would the restaurant not have potatoes? We were told the "chefs" dont prepare food in the restaurant and the pre packaged potato dishes had been left off the restaurant delivery, therefore Pesto were not able to cook any potato dishes from scratch. I have loved visiting pesto restaurants however, today, I am disappointed with the reality of the deception... they serve tasty ready meals. Perhaps the whole food order should have been refunded by management because although the affected dishes were replaced, our christmas meal out was ruined!

Amazing food and friendly service can't complain even left with a goody bag chose from the pesto menu for 3 plates each chicken wings (spicy) and another 2 delicious options would recommend to anyone

we decided to go here for our son’s 10th birthday dinner meal. It’s a lovely setting, the food is excellent and Paulo our waiter was very hospitable.

Brilliant place for large parties, really great food and Paulo gave great service and was super helpful. Would highly recommend.

Came with a big group for my sisters birthday and the service we got was amazing! The staff were really attentive and made sure we had the best experience especially Paulo!

We came for birthday celebrations and they accommodated us perfectly as we were a large group! Made the booking over the phone and she advised a slightly different time to ensure we weren't rushed for time. Paulo was our waiter and was amazing with everything! Took out order and managed a rowdy group incredibly, definitely come back! Thank you!

We came as a party of 13 for a birthday meal and had a lovely time! Our server was wonderful and really looked after us as did all the staff. The food was great and we never waited long for the food or the drinks. We had a lovely time and will be back again.

We were a party of 12 celebrating two birthdays. Katie our waitress was superb. Fantastic and quick service. Especially kind and patient with our 5 year old birthday girl who wanted to keep repeating her birthday candles being lit. Food was great as always. It’s so good having small plates, everyone has something they like or would want to try. Great atmosphere. It is our family go to place and I think value for money. Can’t wait to return

Lovely bliming service by Jade!!! Quick food, good food, quick drinks, clean, helpful, good pud, deserves prosseco!!!

A very nice setting and building. Excellent idea of small samples. Meatballs fantastic and bolognese too. Pizza and garlic bread very nice indeed. Overall we spent over £90. Which is a sign of the times I suppose. Drinks prices are far too expensive everywhere and here is no exception. Junior meals were decent value and good quality, unfortunately they had ran out of potatoes, which meant a reduced menu at the time. But good service, excellent food, something different, well worth a visit .

She was lovely and exrem welcoming. The service was immaculate and she was incredibly polite and made use of her minimum time, since it was busy we got fabulous service

Weekday visit, no booking but big place with plenty of staff so no issues. Friendly service, nice atmosphere. Great menus, plenty of choice. Three differently priced menus of Italian small plates. Two of us had six dishes between us and I couldn't criticise any of them. Very efficient with the delivery of the food and drink but left to our own devices until we were ready to settle up. Andrea is a real asset to the restaurant. Will head here when next in the area.

Pesto @ Cabbage Hall Cotebrook A49 is a popular restaurant.. No complaints about the quality of the food.. But.. There is a "But" Having booked the early evening birthday treat we were seated on a table for two slightly lower level than this large group of overzealous individuals who had little or no control over their vocal volume controller. Hardly an ideal environment to enjoy the offerings laid before us & served by pleasant enough staff. For the record having drove past Cabbage Hall Cotebrook may may time on the way home from work in Nantwich. Thought maybe it's time to give this place a visit, sorry won't be rushing back any time soon. Likes! Food Quality.. Dislikes!! Restaurant Environment.. Seating Area's.. Recommendation.. One of many to mention without being negative 🤔 sort out the sky slope floor covering in the Gents toilet.. Finally folks! If tapas is your delight.. it's okay

Went out for Sunday lunch, and found the atmosphere very calm and inviting. Staff were very friendly and food was served promptly. Food itself was amazing and a huge menu to choose from. A great experience and will go again.

I was served by the ever so lovely Charlotte and she made the whole meal so welcoming for my family and friends that hadn't been there before. Although I have no photos to show the amazing food we all had, it was all very hot and very delicious! I can't fault the place one bit, very hospitable and warm. Food was outstanding and service to match. Would go again in a heartbeat! Thank you very very much for the incredible meal, Matt.

Went here for my Uncles birthday and It was great, I had a spicy prawn dish with pasta. It's great for a nice formal meet up and especially if you like Italian food. For dessert I had the triple cake( three cakes with three different flavors each). Definitely coming again. -Harry:age 11

We frequent the Cabbage now and again and have done for a number of years ( we are not local) as its use to be one of our favourite places to eat. Our visit recently was met with ‘coldness’ from one of the female serves Ami … hence our 3 star ⭐️ rating! good points: delious food, relaxing back ground music, clean restaurant and friendly welcoming manager Nat.

Once again we really enjoyed our delicious meal after many years visiting here for a relaxing afternoon. Andrea our server was brilliant, polite and pleasant. Staff always work hard. Dropped a star as toilets are in dire need of complete renovation. Surely Pesto can afford this! Both male and female toilets need renovating!

Pesto has been my staple for many years, any occasion or a quick lunch out it has been my go to. Unfortunately the past few times I have visited I’ve found it’s massively gone downhill. Food was cold and had to request to be reheated, pasta dishes were tasteless and the sauce watery, meats were fatty and pizzas were hard. I know that at the prices this establishment offer and the speed of service that food is frozen / reheated which I’ve no issue with but when you go out to eat you expect it to be better quality and experience than you get at home, this has certainly not been the case the past few times I’ve visited. Super disappointed that I’ll now need to find somewhere new to love.

We have visited many times both alone and with friends. The food has always been delicious and the service friendly and informative. Last night was no exception. All superb, so tasty and our waitress was a delight. As usual, we ordered one dish too many, but they kindly provided a doggy bag (too good to waste)! Great atmosphere and very busy for a Wednesday night. That speaks volumes. Keep up the good work.

Best gluten free pizzas ever., and I'm an expert! Really tasty and good value food. Friendly service.

Food delicious, great relaxing atmosphere, clean restaurant, friendly service Natalie ‘n’ William. Our favourite restaurant .

Excellent food and great service from friendly and welcoming staff. I do not understand some of the negative reviews, as we have been here several times and never had bad service or a bad meal.

Service is really lacking in this place and its the second time this has happened. Only one waitress bringing food out for 16 people. Obviously some were waiting a very long time, whilst others had almost finished. The waitress was very good considering she had no support from her colleagues. This is probably the slowest service ive ever experienced. On the plus side was the food. This went above expectations and really was delicious. Thank you to the chef.

Really interesting concept with the three small plates however throughly enjoyed it. As a vegetarian, I can struggle to find places that cater well (with a decent sized vegetarian menu) This place was perfect! It kept me happy with a variety of vegetarian dishes and my boyfriend happy also, who is a big fish and meat eater. We will definitely be returning again. Amazing selection of dishes and so well priced. The staff are also so friendly! What a lovely business.

Raw king prawns in our meal, which was very poorly handled by the team. No water arrived despite asking, and having eaten some of the food before realising, we left the restaurant concerned about food poisoning. That dish was knocked off the bill, and a rather weak apology. A friend had already warned of their own food poisoning previously, but thought we’d try again. Will not be going back. Very poor indeed.

We were out as a family of 14 for my daughters 18th birthday, when we ordered our drinks we were told that under 18 could not be served alcohol with a meal, even though by law it is allowed, as it is company policy, not...

If I could leave a zero star review I would. Incredibly rude staff who made our large party feel very uncomfortable. After the manager shouting at us making false accusations, staff then threw our food at us. What should have been a relaxed birthday celebration was ruined by staff continual ‘watching’ us and blatantly discussing us amongst themselves. We have regularly visited but will not be returning.

I took my aunt for her 99th Birthday because we had been there recently and she chose to go to Cabbage Hall again to celebrate the day. She didn’t go for the 3 courses because 2 were sufficient with a pudding for her. - the...

Enjoyed another great afternoon at Pesto. William who greeted us was so polite and helped us to be seated where we chose. Thank you William! Food great as always and Sean a brilliant host friendly and chatty. Always a favourite with our family!

This is our go-to restaurant for larger family gatherings in particular. Very easy on-line booking, friendly welcome, freshly prepared (and piping hot) food. We've never been disappointed here. On this occasion, Jade took responsibility for service to table, and was friendly, helpful and efficient (a...

Excellent afternoon with friends. The food was delicious and plenty The afternoon was made special by the 1st class customer service. Will definitely be returning soon.

This is always a good choice with friends as there is lots of choice for all tastes at excellent value.The staff are extremely welcoming and attentive.Today we were served by Charlotte who continued the same standard of cheerfulness,efficiency and professionalism that we have come to...

Really good food, excellent value and our waitress, Charlotte, couldn't have been more helpful :-). We've only given a score of 4 out of 5 as the coffee wasn't very nice and the car park is difficult to get in and out of with a...

First time to Pesto's so had high expectations. The food was very reasonably priced and the mushrooms were absolutely divine. Booking again next week as I enjoyed it so much. We didn't even have room for a pudding.

Served by Lauren, she was amazing. Always made sure we were okay and very welcoming and friendly. The food was amazing and will definitely be back as usual

Never fails to impress. The food was absolutely fantastic! Love trying lots of different small plates. The service was excellent and the ambience was lovely, despite being very busy we were served exceptionally well. Thank you 😊

I don't normally bother with reviews but, as I was lying awake last evening with stomach ache, decided that I would share my bad experience with others. We were entertaining friends to luncheon and Pesto at Cabbage Hall was decided upon. This was to be...

We have been coming here for years but this time deducted a star for the Signorinas Toilets. Staff and food fantastic. Last time, the tap was hanging off in toilets and I reported to staff and was fixed. This time, hand dryer not working properly...

Six of us visited on Sunday. Lots of choice and tasty dishes. Excellent value and great service. Lovely ambience. Never fails to disappoint. Can’t wait to return.

Yet again another delightful Friday visit to the cabbage! Food delicious, relaxed atmosphere with excellent back ground music, Jade and Daisy their usual pleasant selves :-), clean restaurant etc. we will definitely be back! ⭐️

We were a party of 13, fantastic service and excellent food! We all had a wonderful evening. Thank you!

Called at this venue for the first time on our way back from our daughter's house in shrewsbury.it was our first visit and we were surprised at how big it was inside and how busy it was. The first red flag was when the lovely...

Sis and I sat outside in the June sunshine and warm sun. We couldn't fault the food or the price for the set meals. The chef(s) had put care into the presentation and flavours. I don't usually 'reckon' italian themed food but Cabbage Hall switched...

Four of us went on a Saturday evening. It's an Italian tapas-style menu; small dishes of food. You'll probably want to order 3. It's great as you can try out various items. Everything I ate was excellent; full of flavour, tasty and well-cooked. There was...

This is a wonderful place for good quality Italian food, atmosphere, quick & pleasant service. Welcomed by Amy, served by Amy, Jade & Daisy. All very friendly & professional. We'll definitely return

Totally disappointed with our visit last night, Sat 3rd June. Had booked table for two, didn't need to, & I can see why. Decided to dine outside & chose smallest table, to be polite, only two of us, but most had seating for six. Kept...

We ate here at lunchtime on a Wednesday, nothing remarkable about the day. It was super quiet when we went in and we chose to eat outdoors as the weather was lovely. We were alone on the patio and when we were leaving the restaurant...

food was amazing as usual. unfortunately let down by rude staff who were unprofessional and not friendly at all. our waiter was a blonde girl with glasses and she wasn’t the best either. shame because me and my husband really enjoy the food!!!

Really nice food. Staff really friendly but we had to waft off about 3 flies around the table. Really put us off, which is a shame because the food was lovely. But it was so annoying having a fly next to you every 2 seconds

Took the Grandchildren for their first time today,they loved it as we do Charlotte was so pleasant and helpful as usual Back soon

We didn't manage to get a table earlier on in the week so we tried again on the Wednesday. Very nice food. Great service. Will be back again.

Jaz waz outstanding with her friendly and professionalism enjoyed the food and they were very good sizes.cocktails were great too.thank you pesto

Dan was an attentive waiter and made sure we were looked after. Service was great, food was amazing, we will be back :)

Service from Dan was brilliant, ordered drinks straight away, checked on us the right amount of times, friendly and chatty. Food was excellent. I would definitely recommend an evening out at pesto

First of all I would like to say how lovely, and accommodating the waitress was! Also the interior was lovely and had a really nice atmosphere. I had never been to a pesto restaurant before, and had only heard great things about the food. However...

We were a party of 17 people. I particularly was drawn to this restaurant because of being gluten intolerant as reading good reviews. The waitress was very helpful with helping me, and I couldn’t fault the service or food.

A big Thank You to the staff at Cabbage Hall who were so caring and attentive yesterday when one of our group had a medical emergency. The food was delicious and it was good to see the 'offers' still applied for Sunday Lunch. Nice generous...

Atmosphere and the food is always fabulous. Cocktails were lovely and staff are always very helpful.

Lovely place for taps style Italian food. We had a set menu and felt it was good value, and very good food. Lots of choice on the menu too.

Went this evening with 4 friends, for a girls night. Initially arrived early for our meal so we got drinks and a table before our table was ready, which was fine. Service at the bar was extremely slow, then we werent seated until 15 mins...

After a long morning walk my wife and decided on lunch, we were really pleased by the attentiveness if staff and the quality of food. We would happily recommend Pesto. Definitely going to make our lunchtime post hike if lunch at Pesto a more regular...

My friend and I had a catch up, hadn't been in a long time. We had a table by the fire which was lovely as it was very cold outside. Andrea our waitress was lovely and the food was excellent, especially the trio of mini...

This was the first time visiting and we will certainly come again. Jessica was great, very informative and just the the right amount of checking on us. The food was wonderful and nice sizes for a tapas. You should try the cabbage hall restaurant and...

Our favourite haunt! Had a few meals this month, family and friends, been excellent. Staff as usuall amazing. Thanks for making Charlie's birthday special.

Third visit and once again, friendly staff, great atmosphere and perfect food. Every dish we have tried so far has been fresh and well cooked. Vast choice on the menu Service always professional.

As soon as we entered the restaurant (noon) we were made to feel very welcome by Shaun. The restaurant was warm and clean and we were hit by a lovely atmosphere! Ben the bar tender was his cheerful self and our food was delicious 😋....

We both enjoyed a lovely lunch today. The food was first class, presented in a nice way and served by a lovely waitress. We can highly recommend this restaurant and will be back soon.

5* Thank you, terrific environment, staff and food. Very welcoming, reasonable price. Would definitely visit again

The service was great with our host explaining the procedure upon sitting us at our table and our serving lady, Katie, was exemplary and very attentive with the right balance. Our food was wonderful and great value also. In addition, when we booked online there...

Good atmosphere good service good food so a very good time was had by all. Only small issue was that the new "pancake " crepe needs to be improved as it was a little unappetising. All the other dishes we had 12 in all plus...

Fantastic friendly service for a birthday party of 12. The food was great and the atmosphere too. Will definitely return

Really lovely food staff really helpful made to feel welcome. The choices of food and drinks was really good. Will definitely be going back.

Table service was fab! Maddie looked after us very well. Attentive and friendly. Even went as far as providing a candle for a slice of cake to celebrate my friends birthday! Thankyou Maddie!

Visited Pesto’s on many occasions and always had a very tasty meal. If you like Italian food this is the ideal restaurant. Staff always friendly and very helpful and efficient.

A clean restaurant with plenty of food options to choose from. The food cane out exceptionally fast for the amount that was order. I always find this a concern i.e. poor quality but i was surprised to find that everything taste great. Definitely get the...

Just amazing tapas. So much choice and great value. We visited twice in August; once as a party of 10 for a birthday and another as a family meal of 5. Service and food was excellent on both occasions.

We arrived at Pesto's and were greeted straight away, the staff were very friendly and helpful, we were seated and our drinks orders were taken. We ordered the food which came out all together and was absolutely delicious and hot. I would 110% recommend pesto's...

Met a friend for lunch and Tarporley is about halfway. Unfortunately, we've only now become aware of this place, and it could well become a regular haunt. It's a big place and was pretty full when we arrived at 1pm, so glad we'd booked. Manager...

Went for dinner tonight (16th Sept) with my husband. They always double check any dietary requirements or allergies with the table. The service was perfect as always! Dan was amazing, our food came quickly as well as the drinks we ordered even though it was,...

Best service ever ! She’s wonderful sang happy birthday 2 times for us all GIVE HER A RAISE!! She is the best !!

We come to pesto all the time, at least once every 6 months. Food and service is always amazing and reasonably priced. There was a large group of us with children in our party and that’s enough normally to put a waitress off. We were...

Attentive staff, fantastic food, beautiful location, toilets spotless. On Friday after a long day of meetings my colleagues and I were sipping drinks outside moments after arriving and felt immediate relaxation. I would say the indoor furnishings upholstery is starting to look a little shabby....

Seated sat for awhile before someone took drinks order, then another wait for food ordering , then sat with our empty plates at the end of table wondering if to skip dessert as no one coming soon Food very nice though hot fresh very tasty

We wanted a nice meal on a Monday evening and this was one of the few places open. The food was really good and quite good value. Italian tapas would best describe it. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would go again.

Third visit and wont be last. Three course lunchtime taps menu to die for. Very resonably priced, large portions, quality food and great service.

Excellent evening out. Everything was great. Service, courteous and polite staff,meals and drinks. Always impressed everytime we visit. Looking forward to our next visit asap.

Visited countless times but only just thought to review. This time out visit was a family occasion with 9 of us. Food brilliant as always, special mention to Lauren who was so chatty and friendly, hats off to her and her service.

Food was excellent service was very good. Lauren our waitress was very polite and and gave us good service. Would highly recommend.

The food is good. It’s a shame that TA only have average or very good as a rating . I feel mean giving 3 stars but didn’t feel the food/service merits very good which is 4. We ate as lunch had finished but before evening...

Food and wine were excellent. Service was fantastic. Maitre D was witty and amusing and Lauren, our waitress, was superb.

Booked for 7:15, advice booking after 7:30 if not going off the early bird menu. Great party atmosphere though if celebrating. We asked Nell if we could move to a quiter area nearer the entrance for 🍨 & ☕️ even though we were the last...

You need to visit a few times to sample the menu it is so extensive. We have visited twice and both times chosen a tapas selection, the food is cooked to perfection and always hot on arrival. The staff are very helpful and friendly. It...

We had yet another lovely experience at Pesto but this time in Tarporley, excellent service, lovely welcome when we arrived , seated in a lovely area. Food was delicious Thank you for another lovely evening. Well worth a visit Gaynor

Lovely meal and great service from Lauren. We visited in the evening for a family visit with 3 generations enjoying the food and ambience
