Visiting Chester for the weekend and The Faulkner was one of the first pubs we noticed. The menu sounded great so we decided to give it a try. Staff were all very friendly on arrrival and service was very good. We shared some starter dishes and were all very impressed. Would definitely recommend

Paid around £16 for 6 pieces of gnocchi spread out on a plate. My partner also paid lots for a steak which came out tiny. We both had to go and get food elsewhere afterwards as it was not filling at all. We both found it ridiculously overpriced for what you get!

I wanted to right a review just about the menu .we are a regular visitor to the faulkner ever year .so this I was checking out the Christmas menu. On first look it looks very nice .however the price have increased a lot .yes I know prices have gone up .but it's a pub .and the extra are priced at £5 for extra potatoes etc. Seems well over priced. And I have just read below that they have still got on that silly server charge. Why or why have they put this on .yes staff need a tip but I personally like to give direct .and when we was there last year .I know the girl was not happy when we asked to take it off . So unfortunately we won't be going back. For the future. The hotels round Hoole allway recommend this pub .but save your self from this place don't waste your money.

After a very busy day taking in the sights of Chester, we decided to drop in for a quiet drink and something to eat. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. There were quite a few customers who seemed worse for wear and were very loud, and there was a lot of shouting between several males. So much so we thought there was going to be a fight. On another table were several females who looked like they were drinking the wine like water. These, too, were also getting louder and louder by the glassful. We finished our drinks and left without ordering any food. What were the bar staff about all the noise and commotion, nothing only keeping the rowdy punters topped up with alcohol. Perhaps we caught it just at the wrong moment, and hopefully, it was a one-off.

We were staying down the road at the Doubletree by Hilton, a short 15 min walk away. What a fantastic find! The prawns we had for starters were exceptional and our roast was beautiful. Great advice for allergy sufferers. Wonderful, friendly service from people who seemed really engaged and interested in their jobs. Highly recommended. And very reasonably priced.

Speaking as two hospitality mangers, we couldn't have had a better experience. Two for one pizzas on Tuesday's with genuinely excellent pizzas. Our server Alex was a credit to the site, friendly respectful and seemed to generally care about the guest experience. The site was clean, lighting, music and hearing were all perfect. Seriously impressed

The food here is pretty good, but menu not extensive. I was very disappointed to find dogs are permitted in what is otherwise a nice eating environment. My enjoyment was spoilt when a couple with 2 large dogs arrived at a nearby table - I won't be rushing back.

Food was lovely and fresh. Quite expensive but we'll worth the money The bartender was brilliant. He remembered us from last time we was there over 6 months ago on our little break. The only thing what made our visit turn slightly was the service charge which Wasn't explained. I only noticed at the very last minute. We asked for it to be removed. The waitress wasn't impressed. Like we said its up to us if we would like to tip .. spoilt it really

We hadn’t been to the Faulkner for a good year, as we weren’t too impressed with what the previous owners had done. However when we learnt that it had recently been taken over by new owners, we thought we would give it a go. We definitely were not disappointed at all and will be returning 😊. The pizzas are beautifully done and delicious, the staff are warm and friendly and finally it is now a dog friendly pub! The Faulkner has returned to its former glory and has a great atmosphere, cold drinks and incredible food. If you haven’t been for a while, give the Faulkner another go, you won’t be disappointed!

We booked a meal here the night we arrived for a weekend break in Chester because it was conveniently close to where we were staying and I noticed it had a few gluten free options. We weren't disappointed. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. The food was good too. It made a great start to our weekend.

Was a pit stop here on our way into Chester. The pub had a really nice ambience and well fitted out. We only had two cokes, but the bar was well stocked with quite a few real ales too. The specials board showed a lot of deals through the week. Service was prompt, whilst a lot of tables around to choose from.on this quick pit stop, I will definitely return to eat and do a more full review.

The rugby was on so it was busy but it was a lovely welcoming environment unlike a lot of pubs at that time!! Our order was taken very quickly with friendly helpful service.

Went Sunday afternoon and got a seat at the front....the seats at the back are a bit out of it where other couples tend to sit on the 2 seater tables. The roast was exceptional and loved you could order extra sides like cauliflower cheese or other things as you wanted. The beef and chicken was the best I’ve had out on a roast dinner especially the beef which was so soft. The waiter was so helpful even on our request of 3 different types of sauces! Highly recommend

Pre-Christmas lunch with colleagues (plus one ten year old!). The Faulkner was nicely busy to generate some atmosphere but not too crowded to prevent easy conversation between us.Our waitress very helpfully warned us that the kitchen was busy and managed our expectations very well as to the likely timing of our food arriving. This was fine and enabled us to sample the drinks on offer (I tried the local Gin - very flavoursome).The food was well presented and the only squeal was from the ten year old on realising that an adult portion was beyond her.All in all a very good meal and hope to make it there again when next in Chester.

6 of us booked some time ago for our Christmas meal. Booking, deposit & pre-order ran like a dream. On arrival there was a great atmosphere, Christmas music playing & staff straight away taking drinks orders. Our food came promptly and was out of this world. Plenty of it, all at the right temperature and presented well. We were offered a gap before dessert which we gratefully accepted! The service received was second to none. Friendly, cheerful, we wanted nor waited for anything. This resulted in a good tip and I hope that all the staff enjoy a lovely Christmas with their loved ones. We’ve all said we’ll be back in the new year for one of the ‘deal nights’ which look to be great value. Thanks everyone!

Went for lunch with an old friend for a catchup. Ideal place to have a good chat as the tables aren't too close together. Took a while before we started chatting as the menu needed plenty of thought as there was so much choice. Finally decided on the lunchtime deal, a choice from the lite bites plus a drink for £9.95 or sandwich or soup, salad and a choice of fries plus a drink for £7.95. Both were excellent value, my beef sandwich and sweet potato fries were delicious but as usual I wished I'd had my friends choice of morrocan chicken skewers with flatbread and yoghurt dip !!! Next time !!Service was excellent, the young man serving was very helpful and efficient.The menu is extensive and there is plenty to choose from if a more robust meal is the order of the day or evening.Hoole is an attractive village with some independent shops which makes it ideal to have a good mooch round, so different from your bigger towns with the same old, same old chains !!So a good lunch was had and we also managed to put the world to rights !! We wish !!

There’s not a lot more I can say really. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the service was excellent. Our main courses were a bit slow arriving but this wasn’t a problem for us and we didn’t actually notice until a member of staff came over to apologise. Kelly? explained the delay was because they’d had a run on the prosciutto chicken breast, not surprising given how nice it was. Delicious, and generous, plum and apple crumble with custard and lemon tart desserts, and enjoyable drinks. Highly recommended (and a bonus is how nicely Hoole is lit for the festive season).

Can't understand some of the negative reviews on here. We (two old wrinklies from Northern Ireland and younger son & girlfriend who live in Chester) were so impressed with the place, food & service we booked again for the following night! Excellent value special offers, proper chips properly cooked (I think 'fries' were also available) and a real buzz about the place. Half chicken was perfectly fine, son said the same about his burger and the pizzas were very nice indeed. I even asked for mine to be cooked a bit longer than normal as I prefer a bit of charring on the crust and it duly arrived about a minute after the other three, exactly as I'd asked for it. Well done to you all, keep up the good work! (especially Sarah H, who asked me to write something nice ;-) !

I ate here on my own on a Thursday night which was steak night. That means you can get a steak (with chips) and a half a glass of wine for £11.50. I also added an ale. The meat was really well made and succulent. It had an amazing taste. The staff is really friendly, they made my evening even more enjoyable. I came here because of the very good reviews and they were indeed true! As soon as you step into the bar you'll see lots of locals which is a good sign. I'd definitely recommend it but make sure you book a table (even for 1 person!) because the place is packed even on weekdays (understandably!).

I was catching up with a friend who lives in Hoole and we ate here on her recommendation (for Sunday lunch). From the moment we set foot in this stylish gastropub the service was impeccable. I had the mixed roast dinner (beef and chicken with all the trimmings) and my friend had the seafood linguine and a side order of sweet potato fries. We shared a dessert of Eton mess. Our food was well presented and excellent, and the portions were of a healthy size. The young waiting staff (Emily and a young man whose name I didn't get) couldn't have been more helpful. They responded well to my friend's special requests and an unfortunate incident when, during a coughing fit, she accidentally knocked over a full glass of water (thankfully, no real harm was done). I was impressed by how calmly they dealt with the situation. If I were being picky I would withhold half a star for the apparent absence of meringues in the Eton mess (we didn't notice these at all, although it was still a great dessert) but would definitely return and recommend to others!

Came here a year ago and can honestly say had one of the best roast dinners ever so was super excited to becoming back to Chester. This place is about a 20 minute walk from the centre but was happy to walk over with the anticipation of getting a fantastic roast dinner. This time we were really disappointed, the meat was very over cooked and it was distinctly average. We won't be seeking it out again unfortunately, might have just been a bad day but because I built it up so much in my head I was truly disappointed! Bring back the red beef!

Met a friend that I had not seen for a long time and had a lot to catch up on before we ordered!!! No pressure to order though. Staff we very pleasant and only came near if they needed to. Never felt rushed. We opted for the fish finger sandwiches which were lovely - on proper bread with proper tartare sauce.

Looks like a pub, but has a very good value restaurant menu. Friendly staff, quick service & the sticky toffee pudding was one of the best ever!

Visit the Faulkner every time I am visiting my brother in Chester, went tonight for the steak and wine night and wasn't dissappointed, I work in a hotel that specialises in steaks and I have got to say the steak was cooked to perfection, cooked as I liked and wine tasted good also! Was given well attentive service but not over bearing by Sarah H and Izzy! Can't wait to return!

Went for birthday lunch as it's my surname. Food was nice, good temperature, staff friendly. Tables were a little cramped. Very noisy unruly children in the restaurant, one of whom mum eventually sat on the bar (!) while she was paying. I know its not the restaurants fault but it did somewhat ruin the experience. Also it is quite a walk from Chester centre which we weren't prepared for!

Ordered the beef Sunday roast and could not even cut the beef with a knife. It was disgusting and for the price would have expected so much better

Great mid-week meal at The Faulkner! Took advantage of one of the many food offers and washed down with great beer. Really lucky to have such a casual and informal dining spot on our doorstep!

Como residentes de Hoole, mi compañero y yo somos muy afortunados de tener esta joya en nuestra puerta. He comido aquí varias veces antes y siempre hemos sido muy impresionado con la comida. Habíamos visto las indicaciones para una noche temática francesa en mi cumpleaños y como nos encanta nuestros menús de degustación y comida francesa en particular, este me pareció perfecto. Sin duda el Faulkner no nos decepcionó, de hecho, la comida y el servicio era el mejor que habíamos experimentados por un largo tiempo. Hemos reservado para la Noche Española en septiembre también! Gracias por una noche fabulosa!

We visit this lovely pub/restaurant most Mondays. This was another excellent evening at The Faulkner in Hoole, Chester. Gorgeous food, great service, pleasant atmosphere. Thank you to all the staff, especially Pete for looking after us. Kind regards ... Julie Lumby.

Mi único comentario negativo es también un poco de consejo. No reserve una mesa para 18. 00 un viernes. Dejar hasta 18. 30 cuando ya es mucho más tranquila.

This trendy, foodie pub is definitely worth the 15 minute walk from the city centre. Its in the lovely Hoole area where there are plenty of independent boutiques and coffee shops to occupy you after lunch.

On a very busy Saturday night the service from Sarah was extremely cheerful and efficient. The quality of the food was very good.

Nos alojamos en el mejor ser y estar a la vuelta de la esquina desde el pub y los propietarios nos recomendó el Faulkner para una comida. Después de un reconocimiento al bar para tomar una bebida, decidimos el menú era buena y el servicio también era así que reservamos para la cena. Compartimos un plato de mezze (gracias a dios, ya que era casi una comida en sí misma para dos), seguido por una ensalada César para Carol y una cadera de cordero para mí. Ambos eran tan importantes que no pude terminar. Nos volvimos la noche siguiente pidiendo un bistec y una 'bocados ligeros 'plato de pescado. Ambos eran raciones grandes pero pudimos compartir un pudin. La comida era excelente, si demasiado para nosotros. La comida nos regados con algunas selecciones del "vinos por copa" selección. Todas las cosas consideradas una buena opción por nuestro anfitrión.

Serví a un almuerzo de negocios para algunos de mis clientes aquí. El lugar está a un corto paseo del centro de la ciudad o de fácil acceso desde la A56. No tiene aparcamiento, pero hay un público uno a la vuelta de la esquina y un poco de aparcamiento en la calle. Una gran variedad de comida disponible y hay ofertas en diferentes horas del día. Altamente recomendado.

El Faulkner fue recomendado por el hotel nos alojamos en. Estábamos pasando por Chester así realmente no quiere ir a la ciudad y elegí este hotel como el lugar más conveniente para ir a pie. No puedo recomendar lo suficiente! Incluso mi madre, la persona más exigente del planeta, disfrutamos de su comida. Ambos tuvimos la harissa pollo brochetas que eran deliciosas, y la porción era muy abundante teniendo en cuenta que es catalogado como un "bocado ligero" del menú. Pescado y patatas fritas de mi papá era fantástico. Todo estaba perfectamente preparado. Luego compartimos el desastre eton berry para el postre y que también era increíble. El ambiente y la decoración son muy buenos. Sin duda venir aquí de nuevo si estoy en Chester!

I am staying at BW for work and booked dinner at Hilltops on my first night. I was initially nervous that there didn't appear to be anything suitable for vegans on the menu, but I double checked with the receptionist, who was very helpful and communicated my request to the restaurant. This was a short-notice request, so I was not expecting much, but the chefs went above and beyond. The tofu & veg curry was really tasty, and the choc fudge cake was delicious. I couldn't eat it all in one sitting, but the team prepared the leftovers for me to take to my room and eat later. Thank you to the talented kitchen team and wonderful front of house team at Hilltops!

Absolutely awesome meal very sensibly priced. Service was excellent. But they could do more for the disabled. Only one disabled parking space and this was already taken.
