The Cross Foxes in Cheshire West and Chester

I have been in this pub a few times staff normally lovely and polite , apart from one bar person they have now been behind the bar twice . Never asks me what I would like just looks at me then puts the card machine down in front of me .not a please or thank you or even a word said. Probably the most rudest bar person I have ever come across.

The staff really made you feel welcome and friendly. We had a great night and the karaoke, full of laughter and fun. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

Great service in all the pubs i've been in

Stopped in for a quick drink with my wife on our way back to the hotel, the place went quiet as we walked in like a scene from American werewolf, 5 or 6 men were stood at the bar just staring at us,we ordered a drink each and sat at a table hoping the staring would stop but it didn't!! I've never drank a pint so quickly and my eyes were hurting from trying to avoid eye contact and potentially getting a beating. If you're not a local avoid this place !!!!!!

Great atmosphere and a relaxing pub and very friendly aswell . I use to go ere years ago and it was the same then

Lovely place, nice staff and cheap beer!

Decent place outside of the town centre for a quiet drink.

Went in to play pool and watch a football game. Ample seating areas and pool tables. The bar staff were nice and helpful.

Traditional pub clean and tidy Nice beer

Been in on a number of occasions now. Clientele seem really good and can get a conversation going, football on and there are pool tables too. Disappointingly the girl/guy behind the bar really needs to get some customer manners!

Rock music, pool and good beer at good prices

Visited a couple of times, really welcoming and beer and the beer at a reasonable price. Clean and friendly.

Typical friendly, edge of City. Great prices, quality, well kept pub

Katie and Hilary (sorry if I got your names wrong) we're absolute angels. I missed my train to Chester and went in asking for help after 40 mins and 20 failed phone calls. When I did ask at the bar whether anyone could help me out so I didn't miss my connection, I was not expecting anything positive. Buttttttttttt, they both went well above and beyond to ask Ben (friend of the pub by the looks of it) if he was up to helping me out and he generously obliged immediately. No questions asked. What an absolute legend! An experience I won't soon be forgetting. This is what hospitality is about. It's not at all something you see often. They obviously love their work, and are a massive part of the community and above all else, are obviously good people. If you are anywhere near Gobowen, do yourself a favour and go see these lovely human beings. Thank you so much for ensuring I wasn't stranded! ❤️

Watched a band tonight, great fun 👍

Great place to have a beer and make friends!

Nice choice of beers, sun trap outside the front. What's not to like 👍🍺

Great pint, reasonable prices & a pool table !! Sorted 👌

A really friendly pub with 4 or 5 pool tables and great staff. The beer is always nice and it is reasonably priced.

Staff very friendly beer great price

Love this place, always helpful bar workers. My mate visited and we came here to play pool. Nice pub atmosphere, with pleasant locals too. Pool tables in excellent condition. Will definitely return.

Proper old school boozer, good for a laugh and a game of pool or watching footie etc

Top pub, cheap beer, good pool tables

Found this place looking gor somewhere to watch the football great sporty atmosphere lads playing pool in an adjoining room next to the main bar lots of people popping in and out nice locals pub.

Its like a relic from 30yrs ago. Reasonable prices, plenty of pool tables and friendly regulars. Bar staff are good. Little tired inside but your not there for the decor. Worth visiting for a game of pool.

We arrived in Chester after a long drive from South Wales and went into the Cross Foxes for a relaxing drink with our baby son. The staff saw us enter with the baby and happily took our money for drinks and then we were told to leave the pub literally after buying our drinks. We were sitting in a quiet corner not bothering anybody and was told to leave as they are not licensed for children. My husband had to stand outside in the rain and cold whilst I finished my drink. Needles to say, we won't be returning.

Good boozer, couple of pool tables in a side room

Proper pub. Great live music last week.

Absolutely brilliant place. Staff are extremely helpful and very friendly. Food is amazing with a great menu....all cooked fresh by Janet! Also the locals that use it make you very welcome. Would highly recommend. Nothing is too much trouble so thank you.

I love the Crossey. Pool, music and friendly service.

Great chester pub,, lots of pool tables excellent

I went to see a band, a good band as it turns out... I like the fact this pub are going down the live act route more should... The building isn't really set up for band but hay Keep the faith and thx for a good night

My mate Sam was on about the Boughton mile. This was the fifth on the route. Great beer. Very loud playing pool though. Unfortunately didn’t do lasagne.

Excellent pub live music fantastic

Weekend in Chester. Found this Oldy pub . Tv and juke box. Good prices . Friendly staff

Great atmosphere for the guest singer night

Great little boozer with a lovely beer garden out the back

Staff were very helpful and friendly

Proper pub. Pool rooms and bar. Decent pint good price

What an awesome pub X lovely staff

Great traditional pub with pool tables ,friendly staff.Prices not inflated like most chester pubs

Nice local pub, prices are fair, there's a lovely beer garden and karaoke once a week. There's also a pool table available which I'll have to give a go at some point. Staff are lovely and make you feel welcome!

It is what is Good for a game of pool

Best pub in Chester, great prices, atmosphere, pool, darts, karaoke, couldn't ask for more!

We enjoyed our experience there while visiting chester maybe not everyone's cup of tea but such a mixed bunch of characters . I told the gaffer there i would only give him half a star but see you next time mate. I hope the fellow playing pool found his girlfriend lol. See you all again sometime

The bar staff are fine and it's a proper old boozer but the old beer bellied grizzled fella who asked if I was a woman for ordering Strongbow Dark Fruit brings the atmosphere down somewhat. Still, if you're after a timewarp ...

Lacks atmosphere and needs a good clean Shame it seems to have had a good refurbishment recently but lacks a good couple to run it

Huge beer garden with lots of seating and some under cover.

Fab pub great staff, was made to feel welcome by everyone

Very friendly and the cheapest drinks we had in Chester.👍

Very friendly staff, drinks are cheap aswel and always clean I would highly recommend this pub

Did not know about this place. Popped in on a very hot day was met by great staff. Served superb Ringwoods beer & enjoyed great service & friendliness. but had good attention to safety and care

Good sports, great staff and fantastic outdoor area and dog friendly.

We Went on Tuesday for a quick beer with friends. All the staff were excellent and the Carling was a beautiful clean pint. The beer garden is much better loads of seating!!! Well done to you all I'll be back soon! 100 percent covid safe !!!

Very pleasant surroundings covid free would certainly visit again

Good local pub, friendly staff and nice selection of beer, great for a game of pool after work and a good selection of both indoor and outside seating, also has TV's in all the rooms for sports if that's something you'd want to go for.

Simple classic pub. Nice friendly staff. Great for finding the right channels for sport

Good bar friendly staff pool tables plus tvs and cheap

Nos quedamos cerca en la posada principal en un fin de semana para el cumpleaños de la esposa y llamamos a los zorros cruzados el viernes por la noche, nos sentimos muy bienvenidos y pasamos una buena noche, así que visitamos nuevamente el sábado por la noche y tuvimos una noche aún mejor. el propietario y el personal del bar fueron geniales y muy amables, los lugareños fueron todos muy amables, especialmente Lucy, que nos compró una bebida y Rosie, que nos presentó a la pequeña guinness. Definitivamente llamaremos la próxima vez que estemos en Chester.

Llamamos a varios pubs durante nuestro fin de semana en Chester, y este pub fue, con mucho, el más amigable, recibimos una gran bienvenida del propietario y el personal del bar que nos sirvió en nuestra mesa, hablamos con algunos de los lugareños y fueron super amables.

Called in on the wifes birthday, we had a great welcome from the landlord and bar staff, and the locals we met were very friendly. Super friendly pub.

My twin brother Stephen and I visited The Cross Foxes on a recent trip to Chester, its a pub we always tend to drop into as it's such a warm and welcoming pub. I love the look of this pub, a traditional authentic interior, great decor and furnishings including a cool looking serving bar and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub all housed in a wonderful looking building, a mock Tudor style building, very eye catching indeed. We were here on a Wednesday night, pub was busy with a great atmosphere, greeted warmly by a very pleasant member of staff who served us a real ale each,we opted to have a pale ale each from Marston's Brewery, these were served in excellent condition, we just kicked back,chilled out and took in the great pub we were in. My pale ale was outstanding, a rich,full bodied, well balanced pale ale with a big hit of hops,very easy to drink,a real ale style I really enjoy, my twin brother Stephen also gave me a thumbs up to his real ale. We really enjoyed our real ales in here and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to here we had a great time. The Cross Foxes Pub is easy to locate along Boughton. Opening hours are; Monday to Thursday, Midday till Midnight. Friday & Saturday, Midday till 1am. Sunday, Midday till Midnight. A great pub,one I highly recommend you visit if your in the area.

Cheap drinks, great atmosphere, brilliant staff.

Friendly staff - four pool tables!!!

Great little pub. Good selection of pool tables

Not very cosy,large open rooms,no real character

Very super, very smashing and totes very great x

Easy going friendly pub, 4 pool tables, drinks are priced to please, DJ on a Sunday afternoon perfect to chill

Decent local with nice friendly staff and a great internet jukebox

Yes good atmosphere, cheap beer and nice landlords

Nice pub, good pool tables, friendly staff and great jukebox. Definitely would recommend for a visit

Not much to say, it was quiet, clean, friendly and warm . Prices were also very good.

The very drunk manager came up to me and told me to stop leaning on the pool table. I of course did but he didn’t like that and kicked me out after shouting at regular all night in his drunken state. Trust me, don’t come here.

Love the karokee on Friday bar staff were ace

Great place great people great beer and great atmosphere

One of our locals if we can say so when we visit Chester as it’s on the way to town from our direction . It’s a standard run of the mill pub . It was around when my dad was young as he was born in Chester and in his 80’s. The old ones are the best they say . Although it may have been done up through the years and it seemed different since our last visit 4years or so ago , still welcoming and does what it says on the tin . I was going to have a beer but decided on the dark fruit cider and hubby had a Stella. Lovely and cold and went down very well. Reasonably priced for being so close to town. Again as a woman I wouldn’t think twice about popping in alone . There are many places I wouldn’t do this but the Cross Foxes is one I would go into alone or with family and friends . Thanks for a great start to our pub day.

Best place for some good Ale. The people out there is friendly

Sunday dinner was one of the worst I've had . Staff need people skills . Chatting instead of tending to customers

The prices have increased recently, but it's a nice place to go if you want privacy as upstairs is usually completely empty.

Cheapest pint in chester. Great staff. Great management. Kai the pub dog will greet you with love 😁

Cheap drinks and friendly atmosphere

Great place for a pint and game of pool

Friendly staff always a good pint not too dear

Very welcoming, great atmosphere

Best pub in /Chester if you like a game of pool and any time midweek they have an excellent reduction on their drinks

Friendly atmosphere, great staff

Good for the footie, beer is cheap, staff nice

Went in for a couple of drink and found the staff were very friendly, place was being refurbished in parts but was very clean. Would go again next time in Chester

My first regular watering hole, still good and friendly atmosphere, cheap prices and close location to town

Bar staff fine, would have been 4☆ but only 1 real ale (but good). Pub definitely caters for the younger/boisterous element!!! Feel you may need to be street wise if you came here at the wrong time?

Great pub, great prices, great atmosphere. Makes a great local

Lots of pool tables and friendly staff, good drink prices and friendly atmosphere. Good place can't go wrong

Friendly, reasonable prices, close to home, partner says always a good pint

Great pricing, friendly staff and patrons!

Very noise customers especially after hours. Toilets need attention as does the decoration. Mid range prices but can get cheaper further into town.

Good Friendly atmosphere. Great prices & close to city centre.
