Stamford Bridge Inn in Cheshire West and Chester

Yesterday was our 20th wedding anniversary, we went there for dinner. Excellent food, helpful staff and cosy atmosphere. We would like to have some red wine and ask the staff for any recommendations. After knowing our preference, he brought us 4 glasses of red wine for tasting. This was out of my expectations. I’ll come back again for sure. For main course, which were lamb shank and short ribs, they were wonderful. I loved their coffee, americano; together with hot milk which is very rare nowadays in most restaurants indeed.

A first time visit for an early Sunday Lunch and I was very impressed from arrival and the wonderful staff greeting us and showing us our table, to the service by a lovely and friendly lady and the absolutely delicious roast dinner. I could not find fault with anything on my or my family's plates. Thank you for a wonderful relaxing Sunday lunch only marginally spoiled by someone's constant mobile phone ringing, which was out of your control. Will definitely be returning Andrew

Went for Sunday lunch. 3 out of 6 meals were cold and sent back. They weren't re-heated. They were totally replaced. Been here several times, this has never happened before and was dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Love food well worth the money 💰 staff where very friendly and helpful. The service was quick. And food came out popping hot as well

What a great atmosphere, great food and drinks, the only strange thing is that you are asked if. You want a small, medium or large wine.

Went for a Sunday roast and got the Sunday Roast Platter for 2, everything was amazing except the overcooked, dry and chewy beef! (All 6 of us had this problem), It didn’t ruin my experience overall as EVERYTHING else was brilliant!

Food was superb service was very good will go again

Our campervan broke down in the car park, i was offered jump cables and the manager was helpful and happy to let me recharge my battery off the mains. Also good food and drink while we waited for it to charge :)

Another Sunday lunch ,great service and food ,place was busy ,food only took 30 mins to arrive . Another great visit,food excellent as was the service,only slight problem was no Christmas deal menu on Sunday so you have to order the dinner separately which costs more .Busy place , carpark was full at 17.30 ,there is an overflow carpark at the end of the normal one.Seated straight away,service was excellent,food was excellent, average price for a restaurant , we all had the Sunday roast and could not fault it

Bitterly disappointed! called in here on a saturday for late lunch, one of us vegan and one veggie, we went to order and was told the two main vegan options were not available so we had to have a few of the appetisers, the only vegan option was hummus with focaccia, so i had fries with it, when the hummus arrived there was literally a tablespoon of humus (for £6.50) i complained and they didn't bring more but when i tried to eat it with the bread, the bead just tasted of charcoal and was inedible and the hummus was totally bland, i mixed it with chilli sauce but still was so disappointing, the chips were nice but not really the food id choose for a lunch out, my veggie daughter had nachos and halloumi and said they were nice,for drinks we had a diet coke which was nice and an orange and lemonade which was also nice but not worthy of the £4.65 price tag - won't be returning to this bland place anytime soon

we have driven past you countless times. and this time we stopped and had coffee. atmosphere, service, delicious food. thank you very much I will definitely recommend you to everyone. we will definitely return. thank you.

Very nice pub restaurant. Excellent staff and food at a reasonable price. Will deffo go again.

Lovely high quality meal. Staff were attentive throughout. Food was of excellent value for both the mains and the desserts.

We came in as a walk in as we were passing. It was busy but there was a warm atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. The menu is varied and serves seasonal dishes which is nice to see. Our server was Ffion, she was polite, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious! We will definitely be coming back.

Very friendly staff and the food we ordered was delicious - 6 appetisers for £30 and each of them was top quality. Will be back again.

Often visit with family. Great menu choices, also GF menu. They do a lovely Sunday roast. Excellent service and value for money. The staff are friendly, polite, professional and attentive. Love the monthly quiz nights too.

Really nice, friendly place to eat. Staff are great, food is lovely and overall atmosphere makes for a nice environment. Been several times with and without children and never been treated differently. Love the quiz nights that they run and regularly attend these with family & friends. Kids love the park in the garden while we watched from the beer garden. Can't recommend enough to anyone looking for a new regular haunt or anyone just passing.

Delightful meal, very friendly, nice atmosphere good beer

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Would recommend

Great meal and lovely atmosphere. I came with friends and we all ended up having 3 courses and sharing a bottle of wine. There was nothing left on any of our plates. Menu had lots of choice so would definitely visit again and recommended to others. The restaurant was clean, cosy and had a relaxed atmosphere. Easy to get to and big car park at the front. The staff were polite and attentive, despite clearly being busy. A lovely evening out with friends.

Excellent attentive service of great food.... wouldn't hesitate to go here again....

This is difficult to write but on Tuesday I had booked a table with my family to have lunch at 12 noon. I have always enjoyed the food at other visits. Never had a problem but this time it was dreadful. Only my food. I did not complain because I did not want to cause my elderly uncle any embarrassment. I ordered chicken with skin on . I was told you didn't have any but had a skinless chicken breast. I opted for that. I think it was cooked from frozen because it was like rubber and absolutely tasteless. The only thing worth eating was the potatoes. The broccoli was raw. Couldn't even cut into it . Well that's it really not a happy visit. My dog enjoyed the chicken which I took home and cut up with scissors.

Great food lovely place and staff

Food was nice but expensive. The chips were cheap frozen chips & all of the food is bought in not homemade. My husband had the special which was £19.99 & there wasn't much of it.

Best food and drinks in Chester.. Recommendation to everyone to give it a try.. Excellent quality food served by friendly and helpful staff..

Pricey for what it is. Waited a long time for a sandwich.

Went last night ten out ten for service and food george

A great place for a family dinner. We dined in the conservatory and the kids took advantage of the play area in the garden. Food was good and the service was great. We also had our two labradors with us.

Sat outside to eat. Meal was excellent, the grandchildren ate all of their food which was a change. Very nice man served behind the counter taking orders and was helpful with picky eaters. Big play area for children but could do with big children swings. Overall would go there again.

From entering the premises and getting shown to our seat the service was great ,the food being a Sunday we got the platter for 2 and so much meat had to ask for a doggy bag to take home for the dog . 5 star service would visit again soon

Went out for lunch was ok nothing special

Lovely place, nice people, ok beer, bad food. Just ordered the steak and ale pie with mash, kids had fish and chips and wife had a chicken burger. Standard pub fare just done badly. Pie was poor quality meat and the mash was dry as could be. A bucket of gravy couldn’t moisten it. Terrible. Served with undercooked broccoli a really disappointment. Kids ate their fish and chips but little bit sick after. Wife’s chicken burger was as dry as the mash. Just a shame, lovely place but needs to sack the chef and start again. To be honest tried a few pubs in Chester and had the same experience. Only the fish pool has been of any quality but that was booked up.

Casual call in on way home, called in by chance 4 a meal, looked very busy when looking at car park spaces, went in didn't look like many tables for 2 people, but fair play they said if we didn't mind sitting on a six seated table we were welcome. Meal was great 👍🏻 found out after enquiring my old schoolmate from the early 70's son was running it. will be back 😉

GREAT FAMILY GET TOGETHER. SERVICE FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT. WOULD RECOMMEND. 👍

Great food although we got cod instead of the ordered scampi, but it tasted good. Service was a tad slow even though it wasn't busy and the ladies toilet had an issue, so there was a que to use.

Enjoyed an excellent meal with two friends on Friday 26th July. I liked the light. airy atmosphere in the restaurant. Tables nicely spaced feeling very comfortable. Waitress very attentive and looked after us well

Lovely place food was decent we had the Sunday roast platter it was abit shy on the pigs in blankets ans parsnips litterly got 2 and foe some strange reason we couldn't sit on the tables outside on the grass for food we had to sit on the patio which wasent very big and the tables also were smaller so that was abit silly really the menu is quite pricey but overall I would say go try it out

Decent food at reasonable prices. Very good service although it wasn’t very busy as it was Monday.

Food is fantastic, good range of drinks, but the service is really slow. I don’t want fast food, but we were here 3 hours for one course. I don’t want you to think this is a bad place and I wouldn’t return, I just wish the service was a little quicker. It’s well worth a visit as like I said the food is fantastic, just make sure you allow enough time

Lovely place friendly homely feel ,great food ! Great service great place.

I'm not usually one to complain but in this instance it's completely justifiable. Possibly the worst food in a long time. I ordered the Three cheese and onion pie which was luke warm and tasteless at best along with appalling chips and what there was of them. My partner's order of "Roast ciabatta of the day" came on brown bed which was as equally as poor........ since when did ciabatta become a choice of white or brown bread ?? Isn't it strange when you put an order in and you just know it's going to come back wrong !! We'll certainly be giving that place a wide berth in the future.

Great food and the staff were lovely if not very very busy. Waited over 45 minutes to order; we were given a discount as an apology. It was Sunday lunch tho, so I guess you have to accept that there could be a long wait. Nevertheless I would recommend and will go again.

Good food, interesting menu, lovely pub and ambience, quite busy which is always a good sign, friendly and efficient service. Recommended.

Lively place to visit, you are made very welcome

Lovely setting, great menu choices and the food is amazing. Definitely recommend

Warm day so sat outside at the rear of the premises. The food was very good and reasonable prices. Would definitely go back if I was in the area

Had the Sunday Roast Share platter holy moly what a meal!! Served quick, piping hot and delicious. Mountains of food to share and each mouthful a delight, stuffed ourselves to bursting and even though we couldnt possibly fit another bite, still wanted to finish as it tasted so good!

I felt insulted my the Management because they refused to sell a beer to accompany our meal to my 17 year old sons. It is is both legal and totally normal to allow the sale of alcohol for consumption by over 16s, to accompany a meal. The manager acknowledged this but said that she was using her own discretion to refuse service. The restaurant was not busy. We had driven up from Sussex for the previous 5 hours. We had not consumed any alcohol prior to visiting the Stamford Bridge. I have been going to the Stamford Bridge for 30+ years. There was no good reason to use their discretion to refuse service. They handled this poorly and made me feel insulted.

Pleasantly surprised by the Stamford Bridge Inn. Service was excellent and food fair value.

Lovely food, amazing staff, all very pleasant and helpful. Lovely little pub. 10/10. Great for families 😊

Lovely country pub, food excellent, service too. Good selection of real ales, wine & other drinks. Well worth the journey.

Just attended for work purposes, didn't dine or drink

11 of us ate here last week the meals were pre-ordered, all came out together and very high quality

Really nice pub and food I had was excellent in every way. Starter and main dish both delicious

Fantastic service all round, gorgeous outsoor area for the little one and food was perfect 👌

Very nice food very friendly staff reasonable prices

We had the Chicken wrapped in Serrano Ham. It was ok but the potatoes should have been sautéed and they were just new potatoes cut in half with a bit of wilted spinach on the top. Not presented very well and overall the food was not hot enough.

Food was nice, but would of been much better if It was hot.

First time coming here, as a date night before our baby arrives! Had such a lovely meal, staff were fantastic, food was beautiful, fully enjoyed it, the whole way home we both kept saying what beautiful homemade food we had, and how nice it was to be able to sit in a calm environment after a meal, 100% will be back when we've had our baby!

Loved going here today. Amazing food. Bar staff was amazing only been there a couple of weeks.

Friendly service however very slow, waited 45 minutes for main meals to arrive. Lunch time menu portions very small. Gluton free allegens not taken very seriously. 2h 50 minute visit from entering to leaving.

Went for a meal 8/4/2024. Second time we've been. Can't fault it. Pleasant staff. Excellent food and pudding. Will def be back. Thanks so much

The staff were so accommodating and the team seemed to work really well together so our drinks and food orders were taken promptly, our food was all served together at the same time, and our plates cleared, at the right moments. No one seemed frazzled or stressed, they were all polite and those who served us had impeccable manners when interacting with my guests. The food was excellent and fresh. We all enjoyed selecting off the menu and felt there was good selection. The setting is lovely and there was plenty of space between tables which added to the experience making it feel relaxed and welcoming, and our dining comfort enhanced. My previous experience of Sunday lunchtimes beforehand in many other venues were: cramped, over busy, hectic, stressy staff, food delays, slow drinks service, not very good value for money... but this visit was the exact opposite. I will be returning for sure! My one criticism is that if you're Vegan there's not a huge selection, and soy milk was the only plant milk, but what I was served was delicious!

Nice place, great attention to service. Nice and light not overly full with tables. Good pub atmosphere. Food reasonablly priced.

Very good service but the food didn't impress us for the price.

Great food. Really good service and atmosphere.

Love everything about it. Highly recommend it for food,service,and the staff who are both professional and friendly Going again Easter Sunday

Super roast dinner. Great for families and lots of space between tables. Bonus flower pot for Mother’s Day’

Really lovely food and atmosphere. As a relative 'local' I've been going to the pub on and off for 25 years... Never disappoints

Enjoyed lunch here once again today. Consistently excellent food and service. Took family for their first visit...very impressed. Thanks to the team here for delivering such a quality experience.

Good food and great service. For a lovely evening with friends.

Excellent place to eat, friendly staff and home cooked food. We had chicken & leek pie and beef & onion pie.

Lovely hot food served on warm plates - a basic which many others seem to forget! Tasty and well presented - this will become my go to place for eating out! .

Couldn't fault it ,excellent service ,excellent food ,reasonable prices

One of the nicest Sunday lunches we’ve ever had. Even my very fussy kids had clean plates.

Lovely meal,starters and mains all great,service quick and pleasant staff.

Lunchtime for a haddock ciabata sandwich. Very nice, lovely hot fish well drained crunchy batter. The beer excellent. Would recommend and use again if in the area. Staff friendly and very helpful.

Totally recommend this place. Planning next visit already. Exceptionally nice serviettes! Whilst other places are handing out tissue thin 6square inch excuses for a serviette, The Stamford Bridge delights with an almost linenesq quality number! Much appreciated! 😊

Best Sunday Roast (a huge plate for two) I've had in a long time!

Nice food but Can be a little pricey

Gorgeous food!! Lovely staff and very clean establishment

Staff were friendly but management a bit mean. Didn't think it right to mix the dregs of from a nearly empty liquor bottle with a newly opened one. Food was okay but don't think we'll be returning.

Never fails just one or is my favourite places to eat and my daughters and partners

It was a lovely atmosphere and the family loved it. Will call again.xxx

Excellent food Excellent service for very reasonable price. Will definitely return.

Loved it! Food was wonderful. Didn't have a starter. Mains were very tasty, well presented, plentiful and good value. Desserts were just as good but we had the coffee and dessert which were large and more than I expected. Will definitely go back soon! Loved it

Visited for the first time at the beginning of December. Good menu selection. Friendly staff. I opted for the black pudding bon bon to start, they where a bit dry and bland. For my main I had the 3 cheese pie which was very nice. So basically typical pub food with a posher twist which I think made the prices higher?

Went for Xmas eve. Had the Xmas dinner. Got to say, it was a lot better than a lot of the more expensive pubs we go to for a sunday roast. Top marks guys.

All round fantastic.when putting the star rating on my phone when off!!! did not know until you have reviewed it, silly me.

fantastic all round thank you xx

We booked a convenient table by the fire, really nice.

Food was ok but service was excellent

Great menu really enjoyed the game casserole. Great selection of drinks. Friendly staff and not rushed to order our meals. Highly recommended and we will certainly return. We were pleasantly surprised with our bill which included our drinks tab.

One of our favourite places to eat as a family! A great choice of menu for adults and children, lovely staff and pub, the outside play area is fantastic too. Recently visited at my son's request for his 6th birthday and the staff were brilliant with him and brought his special dessert out and sang happy birthday.

Called in for something to eat while out Xmas shopping 🛍️ lovely place to eat it’s very popular and dog friendly which is why we went! My dog is part of my family and is important (she is like an assistance dog.)

Firstly, the service was excellent. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and friendly. We were a party of 12 with mixed age groups for lunch on 02.12.23. Most meals were lovely and soup of the day was spot on. Two dishes were a little below par. The belly pork sharing platter option was not great. My chicken, leek.and cheddar cheese pie was tasty but unfortunately lacked chicken with 3 average pieces identifiable, which was a shame. We would return on the balance that most dishes were of good quality. I am not sure how the lack of chicken can be addressed per pie but the chef must see what goes into each dish and be satisfied with the portion quantity re ingredients if made fresh on the premises? Thank you. Edit after comment from.pub. Appreciate the feedback but would be interesting to know if the pies were made on the premises as this point was not addressed within Holly's response. That would certainly assist with the chicken quota.

Called in without a reservation on a Friday afternoon,place was very busy but we were found a table ,we did eventually get a member of staffs attention and placed our order. The meals were served in good time and the three of us all agreed that the food was excellent..the atmosphere was vibrant and friendly. We can definitely recommend the Stamford Bridge.

Spam fritters baby! Worth going just for those!

Excellent food but not cheap. Friendly, efficient servers. Although there were a couple of fires lit it felt pretty chilly inside. Go there when you're feeling hungry, good portions. Thank you

I had the vegan sausage and barlotti bean casserole..... The best vegetarian meal I've had out in years... Which is a huge compliment to the chef 👏😋tasty, delicious, presentation 👌and filling, wouldnt change anything with it. Definitely be back to have it again. My friend had the pork and leek sausage and mash, presentation was 👌he said it was delicious and tasty. My husband and wife of my friend had the steak and ale pie, unfortunately they were very disappointed with it, my husband had 3 small pieces of meat and my friend had 2, the rest of the pie was filled out with veg and the gravy in the pie was runny. They said it was tasty enough. More meat and no chopped veg with a thicker gravy is needed for it to be classed as beef and ale pie. Service was excellent, wine delicious.
