The Bunbury Arms in Cheshire West and Chester

I recently dined here with my family and the food was excellent. Myself and my wife had the beef burgers which, were cooked to perfection and the chunky home made chips were amazing. The kids had full English breakfast which were a decent size and they ate the lot. Great food and great atmosphere.

A nice pint of bitter in nice surroundings

Great venue and food. Updated under new ownership. Hard to find a proper independent in area. This hits the mark.

Food was excellent as we're staff nothing was to much trouble can't recommend this place enough

The staff are friendly, the food was excellent, they had lovely real ale 🍺, and a wide range of soft drinks. Overall a brilliant place to go.👍

Just come back from a lovely meal at the Bunbury. Perfect meal and perfect service. Looking forward to going back. Well done to the new owners 👍

Lovely meal, great staff! Would come again & highly recommend.

Had a great breakfast/brunch while passing through this area. All good quality and tasty.

Would highly recommend the owners are really nice and accomadating, home made food to die for

Gorgeous food on a Saturday afternoon. Fish pie was amazing 🤩 Service first class by Mike 🤩 We will be back 😀

Lovely friendly staff - good food - no need to say anything else other than pay them a visit you wont be disappointed😀

We had a Great visit to the Bunbury Arms tonight lots of Choice Beer wise ! and as it was Curry night we decided on a Chicken Balti and a Chicken Korma both were very tasty would highly recommend

Lovely food and friendly, helpful staff. Nothing is too much trouble; couldn’t ask for more.

Can't fault the quality of the real ales. The new landlady seems very keen on keeping good ales on by being meticulous about keeping the lines clean, etc. All Greene King today but local microbreweries on the way

Visited at the weekend for a meal and a pint. Staff were very nice and Mike made a big fuss of the dog and brought water and treats to the table for her. Food was very good indeed, we had the sausages and mash(I highly recommend, sausages are huge) and also the gammon and egg. Price was reasonable and the place is nicely done out inside too We will be back again.

Excellent staff and the food was amazing. Highly recommend

A fantastic pub with amazing food, we have been a couple of times now and would definitely recommend this place. Great outside space to sit in the sun too. The chorizo bites are the best !

Visited Sunday afternoon. Service was second to none. The food was fantastic. I would highly recommend a visit.

Mike was great, food was good, pizza’s were amazing.

Fantastic meal as always! The team here are fantastic, super helpful and really nice! The beer is great and the beer is fantastic! Brilliant prices too!

Lovely setting, pub looks great inside and out . Great friendly service and lovely food . We will go again and recommend xx

If uou want an argumentative manager and substandard food then look no further- food was awful and undercooked! An apology would of been fine only to be told nobody else has complained- so what are food was under cooked- take it on the chin instead of creating more problems- the staff were great by the way

Went today for the first time since reopening. Really impressed with the atmosphere. Food was delicious, will definitely be going back

Bright and clean. Friendly staff. Manager and chef were so helpful. We will return soon.

Friendly pub with a very attentive landlord Mike. The chicken jalfrezi was outstanding and great value with the beer included in the special. I have no hesitation in recommending the Bunbury Arms

Wonderful food, excellent sausages! Great friendly service and a lovely place to eat. A little less bright would be good, maybe slightly dimmer bulbs but the ambience is very good. Very impressed and will be going again. The wine was also excellent.

Had lunch at Bunbury and a pint. We had a ploughman's bloomer and a bacon, brie and cranberry bloomer. Both were excellent. We took our 2 dogs who were welcomed with doggie treats and fresh water. Great food and hosts.

Lovely place, under new management and you can tell. The pizzas were the best I've tasted, very accommodating staff who even opened up the kitchen for us. We will be back

Nice pub. Rupert who served us, Was really friendly. Lunch time menu is limited, but we were told more will be added. Nice atmosphere. Feels like you're in the middle of the countryside.

Lovely meal, prompt service and friendly staff

Visited on opening night. What a change! Bright, clean and welcoming.Cooked from fresh food at a reasonable price and live music. Mike was a great host. The chef is the landlady and her food is amazing. Dog friendly throughout

Went yesterday and the food , Sausage trio was really good , some really nice ales 😋, and the new landlord was very friendly and welcoming, defo be going again very soon 👏👏👏

Amazing food, great atmosphere and lovely owners, definitely worth a visit!

This place has recently opened and is amazing! Live music every Friday and great choice for food. Busy as always.

Elizabeth Bragger Went on wednesday for a family meal the meal was absolutely amazing the new landlords are rocking it xxx Curries were delicious

Under new management so we thought we would call in and give it a try. We'll we wasn't disappointed, we stayed for lunch which I have to say was really good. We were served by Katie who was friendly and very welcoming as was the landlord. We took took our two dogs and they too were looked after. We recommend you try it as we will definitely be returning

New management and what a transformation, light and inviting inside. Friendly new staff food was very good beer was great. Will definitely be back to try the evening menu. Pizzas looked great. What a transformation.

Stopped for a quick pint with my two boys. Gorgeous house lager and fantastic setting. We can’t wait to sample the food next time! Congrats on your new endeavour and we’ll definitely be seeing you soon!

Under new management, visited for the first Sunday roast with my family and dog. Place has been transformed- very bright and family atmosphere. They have a bar area with a dartboard and their own Bunbury Bitter and Lager! Definitely be back for live music nights and curry and a cobra

We are away for a break in the Chester area, used this place years ago and was so good I came back!- Had to google where it was so we arrived quite hungry after a long journey south only to be told there’s no food available!…. Why not pop that fact on your website to save people the effort and diesel…. Had I been able to leave a zero review then I would…..

Lovely little dog friendly pub. Had the BLT which was really tasty and filling - good portions. Friendly service and only 2 minutes away from Cheshire Oaks.

One of the most tasty roast dinners around. Friendly staff, tasty food 😋 and great service

Great little country pub just near Cheshire oaks ,food was really good and service was great

Really nice food, friendly staff, and a good all-around afternoon spent eating one of the best roast dinners I've had on ages

Very friendly even though there going to stop serving as we walked in, they where happy to accommodate, lovely food and great customer service

We had the Sunday dinner. Beef or Gammon or both . We had both, obviously. Very tasty. Yum.

I'm not sure who has previously rated this establishment so highly, but based on our very brief visit, they must be fake profiles or very well known to the Owners/Landlord. From walking in the place looked dreary and had x3 members of staff gossiping behind the bar. We were eventually shown to a 'very sticky' table and curled up Menu dumped by us, only to be ignored for about 15-20 mins. By which time, we just thought we'd be polite and at least grab a coffee, only to be told the coffee machine was broken, so not hot drinks at all. At which point we made our excuses and left to try another place for lunch. Advice, don't believe all 5 star ratings are real, as this rating was certainly way off the mark.

Great food. Great beer. Great staff.

Flies everywhere!! Would not go back! We used to love coming here but we went for lunch and the place was swarming in flies! There are clearly maggots somewhere for there to be that many!! Glasses and cutlery were dirty, tables and floor were all sticky.

Came here yesterday with the wife. We had a couple of drinks at first then thought we would try the food. And glad we did had the steak and ale pie was excepting a frozen pie or a puff pastry lid, but was pleasantly surprised to have a homemade pie it looked very rustic. My wife had the fish and chips. Would recommend was very tasty and value for money. Will be returning

Good food, pleasant atmosphere 👌

Lovely experience quiet not crowded staff very accommodating. Really great lunch and long may we find other gems like this.

Lovely pub and great beer garden, but the steak and ale pie was a let down, mostly thick pastry and only 3 small pieces of meat.

Excellent food, nice beer garden. Friendly staff.

Table was sticky, waiter explained it was the varnish but still…. Not pleasant. Olives were expensive and clearly from a jar. There were bits of hard plastic in my lasagne. No one came to check if the food was ok. Kids dinners were fine. Wouldn’t go back

Nice burgers and roast dinners!

Food was excellent an service staff very good

Nice to get 0ut with the dog and have a beer

Nice food well worth a visit if your in the area

Amazing food and a gem of a place. Glad it was recommended for a pit stop on our bike ride

Great food, great service & excellent vibe!

Had fish and chips Food was very poor ,chips were over cooked . Not hard to cook fish and chips . Peas very dry. My wife had chilli. Both not value for money spent

Me and my mate go there every other Thursday evening for a pint and a bite to eat. There is nowhere else within miles that comes close to The Bunbury Arms. The food is excellent and the staff are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure the experience is second to none. Would highly recommend 👌

Great little country pub. Very welcoming, friendly staff. Good beer and very tasty food 😊

The food at the Bunbury Arms used to be so good. Sadly, this is no longer the case.

Been visiting this gorgeous pub for many years. Today, I had one of the best roasts I’ve ever had and I’m a tough critic when it comes to roast lunches! Very warm welcome, the staff all helped me feel comfortable with my son and my dog. Five star service. Pretty sure my sons chicken nuggets were a chef special and my roast and gravy! I’m a gravy freak were to die for x Thank you, keep being amazing. Family run, local business it’s right up my street x Jules x

Mothers day lunch with my daughter. Lovely old pub

Only stopped for a coffee and a beer but both were nice.

Havn't been for a few years. We went for lunch. It is a lovely place to dine. Food acceptable. Wasn't a lot of fish in the batter. Overall good

Good food. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere.

Fantastic meal again great value Thanks Sonja

Lovely friendly pub good atmosphere although we didn't eat food smells delicious

I visited after mooring up on the canal. There was only one real ale on offer when I visited, but it was a very good pint of landlord. I didn't eat, but they have various two for one offers during the week or something similar. Welcoming friendly people.

Can't comment on food as we only went for a drink. However it smelt good. Lovely location and the owners have certainly made positive improvements.

The food is superb 10 out of 10, we went here for our 41st wedding anniversary, will definitely go back

Lovely local pub, very friendly staff. Very homely food. And dog friendly!

Lovely little pub, friendly, decent food

Excellent a bit pricy but you get what you pay for. 😉 nice

Excellent food, good beer choice and service

We pre-booked for a table of 15 and had an excellent experience. We were well looked after without the service ever being intrusive, and the food and drink were both excellent. I would strongly recommend this delightful pub.

Lovely lunch today, super friendly staff and gorgeous food 👌

Had a wonderful afternoon here we sat outside to have food was lovely & warm.

No dart board closes early monday

Great food good value, a stone's throw from blue planet and retail park, much better than the food on offer from the chain type restaurants. It took a while to arrive,(15mins) but well worth the wait. Portions generous also.

A nice pub, friendly staff and good food. We had a pleasant evening. Will use again.

It was our first visit to the Bunbury Arms after COVID and felt that it was not as good as it has been in the past. The first thing we were told was that meals were only available if ordered before 19.45 , since our table was booked for 19.30 it was not a relaxed start. The main meals were good except for the curry which was said to be tasteless. The deserts were limited, 3 were sold out, which meant two out four of us did not have any. This is not a place to visit for a special experience as the menu was limited, one of the specials was also not available. I cannot recommend it and we will not be returning.

Turned up without booking. Found an available table to sit 8 people, asked staff member if they were still serving food.. she said yes... went to the bar all ordered drinks and sat at the table then to be told we couldn't sit there by another member of staff as we hadn't booked and we had a dog which wasn't allowed in that side of the pub. So went to the bar to ask if they were serving food outside, she said yes... something that should of been offered to us as an alternative to leaving after being seated already. Food came cold had to he reheated in the Microwave. Soup of the day was uneadable so asked to swap for a bowl of chips to be told ,NO that nobody else had complained about the soup that day bare in mind the soup starter was double the price of chips. Asked 2 members of staff for extra gravy was blatantly ignored and just walked past us. Awful service terrible customer service by the manager and staff . Staff looked fed up and unfriendly and more bothered about tucking into their roast than serving a table of 8 paying customers. The roast dinner itself was actually really nice just a shame about the staff.

No food chef had had a serious accident but it was a Tuesday better look next time!

Had to sit in smoking area with our dog shouldn't be advertised as dog friendly Sent one meal back as it was cold and didn't get it replaced until everyone else had finished so didn't bother. One of us had fish n chips very poor Sunday lunch was nice but not hot.

BRILLIANT!!..Didn't know the area and came across this great looking pub with a great looking seating area outside..Went in to eat (bearing in mind we'd already phoned a few other place, but nobody was interested, as there was 7 of us!!).Got a table straight away and we all ordered.The food & drink we had was great, and not overpriced.The guys who took are order for food & drinks were fantastic.!!.very helpful, polite & efficient. We all had a great time and we will definitely be back...

Great pub with sizable outdoor area. Enjoyed our pie and steak sandwich.

Good food, loats of space outside

Just had the best Sunday pub roast, it was cooked superbly, the service was excellent friendly attentive staff I would highly recommend the bunbury arms if I was allowed to give 6 stars I would, easily accessible disability toilets.

We love it here. The staff are just fabulous and make you feel so welcome everytime we go, even Frank the pooch came to say hello in the garden and sat with us the whole time ❤️

First time visitor and it won't be the last! Had a lovely meal. Lots of outdoor seating perfect for a sunny day. Friendly staff and clean estatablishment

Fantastic Dog friendly pub serving great food. Side room for muddy paws and boots is very useful. Service was excellent and everything was good value.

Really great, made to feel welcome Good service and a great Sunday lunch

Stumbled on this place and what a lovely pub! Inside and outside places to eat/drink. The food was really tasty and reasonably priced. Staff were really friendly, polite and efficient. Will definitely visit again.

Wow.. had been ages since we've been here.. food was absolutely gorgeous, service was great. Very friendly, beautiful outdoor area. Will be back!
