Didn't have food, Every time I go to Chester, I visit this pub. Very friendly place.

Lovely friendly staff and an amazing outside, inside space for smokers and none smokers alike. Best smoking area I have ever visited

Lovely local, felt welcome even though it was our first visit

Great place staff pleasant well worth a visit 😁👍

Cracking local pub, large range of draught and also special offer on drinks too. It is well worth a visit and surprisingly big beer garden at the rear. Live sports on show too.

No vibe old man's pub no warm welcome..with first time visit ...

I can describe it only as The most unpleasant unfriendly and dirty place I have ever been. I would not recommend anyone to go there. I’ve seen a big rat walking into the pub’s kitchen. The place should be checked by a health and safety department. Edited: it’s correct pub. To have rats in a pub no need to serve food.

Love this pub and the staff are excellent. Great atmosphere and we'll definitely be spending more time in here!

Love this pub, love all the little sections. Great team

Down to earth pub close to the bed and breakfasts in Hoole

Really love going to this place. Great little pub.

Friendly local. Enjoyable, unforced atmosphere.

Convenient location , lovely friendly staff

Great place to watch the racing and other sport. The bar staff were absolutely brilliant. Great range of well looked after cask ales. Amazing outside seating area, with shelter and heating. Well worth a visit

Stopped at the place for a drink, however it was very unpleasant and dirty. The place need to be upgraded, also need good clean though out, better atmosphere, better furniture and better staff.

I believe our drinks were water down as it did not test good, when we complained about it we were faced unpleasant arguments with Emma. So nothing good I can say about the place, also it looks a bit dated inside, some dirty glasses were put next to clean glass.

Great honest local pub, brilliant staff superb covered outside area too

Good landlord great bunch of people 👍

Nice selection of beers ,great staff, nice price and nice little watering hole A+

Great pub,l have known this pub for a long time.lt has separate snugs with plenty of character,also a big outside area with covered TV and pool table.

Lovely place Lovely bar staff and the scouse lady was lovely too 🤪 warm friendly people love Chester ❤🤗

Popped in here for a quick pint one day while on a 3 day break in Chester, from the off we were met by friendliness and great service , I asked if they would show a game that was on the next day( Scottish game not big on showing down here ) and they were the only pub in the town that gave a definite yes ,also the locals are friendly and we had a wee sing song , we did all the traditional Tudor pubs in Chester but this 1 was real and probably our favourite on the town would highly recommend .

Fab, friendly, fun meeting place. Great atmosphere and service xx

Just passing through nice little pub friendly staff and locals

One of the best old pubs of chester a lot of memories of my late grandad drinking there many moons ago

We had an amazing afternoon at the Royal Oak. The service from start to finish was excellent everyone was social distancing. We felt very safe as everywhere was sanitized regularly and plenty of sanitizer available .The staff are amazing x n the sun was out x great day x

Best pub going ...Very well managed and amazing staff....Brilliantly organised and safe with all the Covid Guidelines. We cannot wait for you to reopen xx

Walked in and the mans attitude stunk. Needs to learn some manners and some customer service skills. He also had hygiene issues with a pretty strong smell

Nice old style pub. Not many left these days.

Such a homely welcoming pub, and that is just what it is the royal oak is a small traditional pub with modern fetures, with 3 TV's in the bar all with different sporting events, sports fans wont be disappointed. There is a lovely decked beer garden with a tv. All decked with plenty of comfortable seating. Plus kids and dogs are welcome! Brilliant!!

This pub caters for local and visitors alike. It has a warm feel to it even though the clientele are mostly men watching the sport on the many TVs in the snugs and rooms . A proper pub that I like a lot.Good old fashioned style to it.

Visited a couple of times. Very friendly place to go. Every body is always happy to see you.

A warm friendly pub. We 3 southerners took all of 3 minutes before we were chatting with several of the regulars. We had a wonderful evening with some top class people.

We like the atmosphere, the prices and the other customers. It's great that they are dog Friendly and the beer garden is nice. We enjoy repeat visits to the Royal Oak - a proper pub!

Always a friendly reception from the staff. A good value local boozer which is kid and dog friendly

Old school pub, friendly staff, good range of quality drink. They let my dogs in so that how I started coming here and have not changed pubs since.

Where did all the beer go?! This place used to be a proper real ale pub, with 4 guest ales as standard. Not any more - a choice between Brakespear or Mild on offer tonight. Rubbish!
