The Bunbury Arms in Cheshire West and Chester

Just got back home after a Thursday lunchtime visit and it was simply superb! My wife had the steak and ale pie with mash, I had the Bunbury burger with chip and my daughter and grandson shared a pepperoni pizza and chips. It was honestly stunning food and all for £54. Highly recommended, we’ll be back. Excellent!

Really nice place to eat had x as dinners here over year and top service

Excellent food, lovely staff. Book early, especially on Sundays, as it gets busy. Dog friendly. Made to feel very welcome.

Lovely food, great service. Thank you

Was here last night celebrating a 40th. Over 20 people to be served and the food and service was fantastic even with such a large group. Couldn't fault it. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Lovely night celebrating nephews 40th birthday! Staff were friendly and helpful and food was delicious 😊 We will be returning soon!

Came here last night for my sons 40th birthday, amazing service by Mike and his lovely staff, food was lovely, will definitely be returning x

Came here last night for a family member’s birthday. The food was amazing, a really friendly atmosphere and very friendly staff. Will 💯 come again. And would highly recommend to anyone!

Had a lovely Sunday roast with family , nice service from Mike very good food.

Fabulous place to visit. The food was amazing in both presentation and taste. There was plenty of choice on the menu and catered for everyone. Mike looked after us really well and nothing was too much trouble. A real great find. Will certainly go again and can't recommend it enough.

Excellent, tasty food, freshly prepared by Electra, together with excellent customer service provided by Donna. Good value for the quality of the meal. Would highly recommend 👍👍

A lovely lunch, well looked after my Donna and Ben. Very enjoyable thank you.

Fantastic food at reasonable prices. Very dog friendly throughout. Great range of ales and lagers. Staff are helpful and friendly.

Very enjoyable lunch with friend

Lovely fresh food at a reasonable price, nice relaxed atmosphere and great service will definitely be back..

Friendly and helpful, good service and excellent food, very good value, recommended

This place just gets better with each visit! Have never had a dish that hasn't been amazing. Top quality food and great portion sizes. The challenge here would be to eat 3 courses! Staff are so attentive and helpful. We have a gluten free newbie in town, but this isn't a problem here as there's plenty of choice for us all. One of those places you want to keep to yourself, but tell everyone about at the same time. Our new favourite for sure!

Well worth going out of your way - great staff, brilliant menu including plenty of gluten free options (both foods and drinks). Never been let down on any of the tasty dishes we've all had, they're very dog friendly and the locals are nice. Love going here summer, winter, rain or shine and recommend it for all ages.

The “new” Bunbury Arms has all the charm that we remember but with extra class. Food was great and the service was perfect, Mike smashed it out of the park tonight!

Served by a very friendly guy and had the best garlic bread ever tasted. Highly recommend for a nice family lunch

Lovely place. Only went in for a coffee (very nice espresso) but really slow service - only one chap trying very hard.

Nice job refurbished clean tidy nice decorations beer was good food was tasty varied menus nice treat good to see it back

Four of us called in for the first time since the change of owners and so pleased that we did. Great pub with a lovely atmosphere,, clean and pleasant decor. We were made very welcome and the service was great. Good choice of food, great quality, generous portions and good value. And the Banbury bitter was excellent. Looking forward to returning. Visited for lunch for the first time since lockdown. The pub has changed hands and improved considerably. We were made very welcome and the pub has a good, friendly atmosphere. Our meals were very good and the beer spot on, as was the service. We'll definitely be back.

Thank you to Electra and Dave for the amazing meal we had for our Christmas party on Sunday . Fantastic friendly pub and the service was spot on nothing was too much trouble . Portions were very generous and such lovely fresh home cooked food and such a quaint little pub .We are going back Christmas day

I ate here with my dad, we both smashed down a couple of drinks and two perfect meals. All I can realy say is the service was impeccable as was the food. I would recommend everything on the menu because I just know it would be amazing. The atmosphere is great with a cozy, warm and happy feeling. Would 100% come back and I will.

Visited with family for Sunday lunch, the food was great and service was really friendly. Would definitely recommend and will visit for food and drinks again 😊

My friend and I dined here for our evening meal. We were served by Jack and Mike. The service was excellent as was the food. The pub has a really nice welcoming atmosphere, food is freshly cooked and locally sourced where possible and they really care and cater for those with food allergies or intolerances. The singer added a really nice finish to the evening. We will definitely be back.

The bacon cheeseburger is fantastic the wife had roast dinner, food was pipping hot served with a smile

We did some shopping at cheshire oaks with our pooch, but searched a dog friendly pub nearby, Bunbury arms came up and what a find, we from now on will come here after every shopping trip to the designer outlet, Mike was very friendly and delivered an amazing service, we had beef skewers and pate to start followed by one steak and ale pie and gammon with eggs, home cooking at it's best, highly recommend this country pub, loved the homemade gingerbread with a coffee too...well done guys

Great pub, great beer choice. Good food menu including a pizza menu. Had Sunday dinner and it was really nice. Highly recommended.

A great night last week at the Bunbury Arms in Stoak - a murder mystery evening. Everyone got dressed up. It was so much fun. The actors were good and the atmosphere really good. Highly recommend trying it out. Elektra and Mike were exceptional hosts!

The first time we have visited, asked if we could park overnight in motorhome. Made to feel very welcome by all staff. Food was very good, fresh and hot. Everywhere lovely and clean. We will definitely return. Thank you.

A nice pint of bitter in nice surroundings

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.

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

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

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 !

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

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

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

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 meal, prompt service and friendly staff

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Nice food well worth a visit if your in the area

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.
