slowboat ltd in Cheshire West and Chester

Really good sweet and sour chicken. Very prompt delivery

Excellent food and service as always! Great value for money!

Busy restaurant, we were convinced it was going to be good as you can never get a table when you try. Was so disappointed. The food was definitely not up to standard. The spring rolls were definitely out of a packet. In all fairness, the prawns were decent but on the whole, we wouldn’t return. Polite staff but poor service. Maybe being from a major city we’re just used to better? Shame… it looked so promising… Never again!

Delivered a bit earlier than we ordered but excellent food as always and plenty of it.

Had the buffet not great had better almost everywhere else.

Fantastic food, great value for money. Service was a bit slow, but it was very busy, I was part of a group of 25. Overall Fantastic

We've been going here for decades, it's such a wonderful place with amazing staff, lovely ambience and very tasty food.....love it and always recommend it to friends who haven't been

Best food, fresh and hot, great fast delivery, brilliant

food very tasty, fast delivery, great service

Gorgeous takeaway once again thank you. Delivery guy was so friendly too.

Lovely restaurant food brilliant the choices were amazing service excellent very efficient bill very reasonable for all we had to eat. Loved it that much going back next Thursday 27th February jum jum

Excellent food. Good delivery service...with food delivered right on time as advised.

Super all you can eat Chinese food. Cooked brilliantly and always served with a smile

Meal delivery by team. Excellent food and delivery. Very quick service.

Very nice take away , late delivery

Great food and service, great selection of starters on a platter and main course choices.

Amazing food The staff are lovely Not expesive Definitely suggest

Let the banquet begin. Always a must when I am in Chester, nothing and I do mean nothing, beats an all you can eat buffet at the Slowboat Taste, quality and quantity, a rare things these days eh

Just had a take out of starter meals didn't like at all food very dry and crispy not usual standard food a hundred pound in the bin .

The sushi was prepared with care and the fish was incredibly fresh—some of the best in town!

We were able to secure a last minute reservation on a Saturday night. Food was fresh, tasty and came very quickly. The service was good. Parking is free (comes with a voucher after you’ve finished your meal). Would definitely recommend.

Very poor meal. Duck was tough & chewy. Normally excellent but this was extremely disappointing for the cost

Usually use these for Chinese take away, usually very nice but latest one was bland, under seasoned and tasted watery. Very disappointing compared to usual food received. Every delivery lately always need a blast in the microwave as its going cold too.

Lovely food. Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Always look forward to returning.

Best Chinese in Chester by far. Their satay is incredible

Food was delivered 30 minutes late, no meat on ribs, food in general was disappointing, we wont be ordering again

Was told about the slow boat in the bar at the hotel booked it the all you can eat buffet was fantastic and reasonably priced

Really delicious food, fast takeaway for collection really enjoyed it! Thanks so much :)

Great food delivered on time and hot

I,m afraid it dipped well below expectation. I had duck in black bean with chips. 6 Duck pieces were more skin than meat, I had 1 green bean, 3 pieces of green pepper and a the rest was made up of chopped onion. The chips were dry shrivelled and looked as if reheated from lunch menu, quite inedible for the most. Although the sauce was tasty the meal for the price was well below the standard of old. Disappointed.

Had a delivery therefore unable to rate Atmosphere

Great value for money. Yet again another absolutely delicious take out from slow boat.

Quick delivery but chicken and vegetable noodles were very average and satay chicken deep fried in batter. Not what i expected having sampled many chicken satay portions. Big let down.

Excellent food and service. Special mention to the manageress ( I think Shilo was here name ) who went above and beyond for my disabled wife. Beware there are 3 flights of stairs up to the restaurant and very narrow to the ladies toilet ( and 3 more steps )

Great value for money, fresh and hot. Definitely recommend. My dogs are not very happy that I didn't share ☺️

Really lovely restaurant ( nicer than expected from the outside), we were a bit confused by reviews but basically it is ‘all you can eat Buffett ’ however they serve the food at table on food warmers , you order 6 starters ( they are small but lovely) then comeback and ask if you want to order more, then you order main courses and rice / noodles etc and again not huge but really tasty and you can order more if you want , finally you order deserts again not huge but more available if required . Very nice interior , clean and relaxed atmosphere and staff are very nice. Excellent value £20pp Would definitely recommend and would visit again when in area

Excellent service. Food was lovely. Nice atmosphere.

Really great takeaway food, prices were decent, portion sizes were very generous but above all the quality was very good.

Always very good food. The best ribs ever!

We ordered a takeout to be delivered. Very easy to use the app. Good choice of food and very prompt delivery.

Delivery arrived on time, food hot and every starter or main dish was delicious.

It was really nice, only thing I’d change is that I wouldn’t put pineapple in fried rice

Great value on the meal deal for 2 and not cutting corner on quality

Looks a bit dated and run down but food was really nice. Good value for money. Probably better for a sharing group rather than a couple.

We had the Buffett but it wasn’t help yourself it’s order from menu and we was not disappointed the beef dishes melted in ur mouth I would highly recommend

We always have a great time when we visit this restaurant. Food is consistently very good.

Could not fault anything! Everything was perfect! Food was great service was great and atmosphere was great too, can't wait to go again

It was a delivered take away so the atmosphere was at home

Quite disappointed, having read the majority of good reviews thought we would give it a try, had the buffet,felt it was overpriced for the quality of the food, we did go on a Saturday night , two of our party barely ate but still had to pay full price for them, the starters were nice but the main courses weren't great!we ended up leaving most of it untouched, very watery Thai green curry, an Indonesia curry which in reality was just chip shop curry so that was left barely touched,noodles very salty, so disappointed sadly

It's not as good as a few years ago, but it's still one of the better ones locally.

We ordered a meal to be delivered for mothers day, and it was probably the best take away Chinese meal that we have ever had....delicious!

Had a delivery the food was lovely

It was such lovely food, the atmosphere and wait staff are excellent! The buffet is delicious and the food is cooked fresh meaning it's more hygienic! I found their vegetarian option to be as delicious as what I'm told the standard menu was! My only complaint is that ordering can be confusing if not everyone is having the buffet. They have excellent accommodation for allergies and parking was really easy! Highly recommend!

Had my daughter’s 11th Birthday on 11/06/24, she had a brilliant time, absolutely loved it. Staff were amazing and brilliant with the children, made their day, made such a fuss of the kids. Food was fantastic, great value for money, wish we could have eaten more, the mains were especially tasty. Thanks so much for making a Tuesday night so much fun ❤️

Very disappointed been going to The Slowboat Chester for years many special occasions celebrated there however after visiting on Sunday I can honestly say I would never go there again its gone from a nice restaurant to what only can be described as a mediocre canteen, food was extremely poor starters served when we're half way through the soup so sitting going cold, pancakes for the duck hadn't even been cooked and generally a huge disappointment such a shame

Great food always is if we ever have a takeout we always have this

Excellent food and great menu choice. Superb value for money. Food doesn't stop coming ..... *****

Kieth loved the red hot food Sue loved everything P loved good variety of vegetarian options Jack loved the incredible service Pete loved the chimken Jess loved the sweet n sour 10/5 best buffet

The food was excellent and the delivery was efficiently executed punctually and politely

Great food, plenty of choice and lovely friendly and helpful staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Visited here for a family members birthday, we arrived slightly early but immediately we were seated and given a few minutes to browse the menu. Excellent food and great value, 2 of us opted in for the buffet and the other 3 stuck to the usual menu. Food cooked and prepared fresh which really showed in its quality. Very happy with efficient service and felt respected by all staff. Absolutely recommend a visit!

Takeaway was lovely and fast delivery

The App needs to be looked at. I selected a meal and the app said I'd earn 950 points. I then selected more items but when I got to checkout it said I'd only earned 152 points. Food was amazing though and the service was great

Awful experience rude delivery man took all food out on the pavement to dine bbq sauce to take out waited 15 mins to give me my food I pre paid for, food was freezing cold.

Fantastic banquet with friends. Food and service excellent. Plenty of choice and efficient friendly staff. Definitely value for money.

Very busy as usual, but staff were very quick at getting our orders. Food is lovely as always and great atmosphere.

Our first takeaway from from here and won't be our last - really good food

One of the best noodles I've had. Had the spicy Asian chilli sauce noodles, and the sauce is very tasty. And the portions are very decent. Their toppings are very generous. Definitely recommend.

Everything was amazing loved it all but as a preference I would have preferred a bit more sauce on the lemon and honey chicken, but still very tasty

The food is great, great value for money and the staff and atmosphere are wonderful...

Awful meal ordered two portions of salt and pepper ribs that were inedible due to tasting of pure salt. Cantonese beef was watery sauce and rice was all sticky not correct for fried rice. £30 plus for an awful takeaway

My favourite go to place awesome food

Went with 20 work colleagues not one of us could say a bad thing about the place. Staff were brilliant all night Food arrived hot and fast well worth going

Great takeaway, tweaks made to our menu when asked as well. Great evening

First time I had a takeaway, very good food

The slow boat has been in Chester for a long time now and is always popular with a nice atmosphere in the resturaunt. We ordered a takeaway this week for a change, ready on time, lovely friendly staff and delicious, you couldn't ask for more. Thank you.

Starters great, loads of choice, main meal not that exciting

A great all you can eat menu, we had 2 lots of starters for 9 and we were very happy. Main meal was spot on. This was our first visit but we will be back again.

First time ordering from the slow boat takeaway and won't be going back. The starters prawn roast and spring rolls were over cooked and hard and sa.e for the half duck, it was cremated beyond crispy. The mains were decent and rice was fluffy. Overall disappointing and wad expe sive, even after 20% off

Really good food, and good value.

We had takeout, so it was a great atmosphere at home 🙂. Ribs and wings were served in the same box, which was weird, as the had different sauces. Ribs were not tender - they need cooking a long time. You’d have thought the slow boat would know that by now 🙄. It was all delivered on time, but food was just ok.

Excellent great staff and excellent food nothing has changed the food is excellent and the staff are great and friendly 👍👍👍

Attended last night, all starters were extremely overdone an chewy. They was In a rush to get each course away an get us out of there an also 4 out of 5 had belly ache an a really bad belly the next day.

Great banquet and service first class

Love this place we go everytime we go to Chester which is quite often.

Always great at the Slow Boat. Been coming here over 35years. Wife ill in bed so 1st time for takeaway meal. Great as always. Thank you.

Busy Sunday night full of families but the food was as delicious as ever - we usually order takeaway. Great efficient service. Get the ribs 😋

Food ok , but some of the dishes were just too sweet 😞

Food was ordered and delivered to our home. As always the food was delicious and the portions extremely generous.

Lovely takeaway with excellent offers. Hot & Sour soup is delicious

Food was lovely, staff attentive and plenty on to serve. Recommend whilst in Chester. Everything was hot and fresh.

Great food and prompt delivery. Superb every time and we've ordered from them many times.

Absolutely amazing food we wouldn’t go anywhere else. The standard of the food is amazing and the flavours and taste is out of this world!! Thank you slow boat you are chesters number one! Xxx

A Chester legend. £18.50 per adult for all you can eat!! A bargain with stunning views of our great city.

Have been here numerous times, Christmas do, last night, the place was packed and still the service was amazing with beautiful food A* service 😀

Lovely place to eat with mega portions that fill you up quickly! Will definitely be back!

Lovely food as always. Very busy & quite loud but to be expected with Xmas party's etc. Highly recommend. Look forward to returning soon.

Food is always tasty, but lately I've had to microwave it upon delivery as it's barely warm.

Food was great as always but delivery was more than 30 mins late

Buffet very good value for money. Friendly staff. Excellent service.
