£7 for a salad the size of a tennis ball…. Plus we had to go to the bar to order drinks as they were so slow!

Went with friends on the evening of Chester Races which may have been a tactical error. Starters were fine but one of our parties fish and chips wasn’t good at all. There was something wrong with the fish. However the problem was very well dealt with by the manager. Ultimately a disappointing meal but very good service.

Food was ok in general, but 7 pounds for a small salid.... never again. Loved being forgotten about by the staff and having to beg to pay the bill

I came here for the first time today having looked at reviews for Sunday lunches and it was a lovely experience, my salmon paté starter was lovely and I followed this with the beef roast the meat was pink and delicious with plenty of veg and potatoes. Everything tasted really good, the roast potatoes could have done with a little longer in the oven to give a more golden colour and crunch but this was one of the best roasts I've had locally. The staff were lovely providing a great service.

We had one of the best Sunday lunches we have had today! The black pudding starter was to die for and the beef dinner was honestly incredible. The staff who served us were brilliant also. This is a credit to Chester and I would recommend everyone who visits to seek it out. Lovely!

We booked the Henry Potts for Sunday roast with friends from California. They loved it all as did we (from Bury). Great atmosphere with pictures on the walls and old but well looked after interesting furniture. Roast beef was nicely pink and crunchy roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. The gravy was a little too thick for my liking but overall the meal was delicious especially with horseradish and mustard. Panacotta was ok but didn’t need desiccated coconut. I enjoyed the Malbec too. Others had draught beer.

Really good classic pub food and a good choice of ales in a friendly atmosphere. It's slightly off Chester center but worth the few minutes walk The photo is the haddock and chips...with salt and vinegar onion rings..... was exceptional. Busy at 19:00 on a wet and cold Thursday says it all. Back again photo added is steak and ale pie...another great classic the chef has done really well...even the red cabbage is amazing.

This pub / restaurant was close and handy to our hotel and despite it looking quite small and even dismal from the outside it is actually quite large and very nice inside. Very friendly and efficient service and served very quickly, we had the fish and chips and it was so beautiful with the fish literally melting in the mouth. Bit of a hidden gem this place and would definitely return.

I have been loads of times with different people for different occasions of all ages, and never once has the food or service not been amazing. It’s a lovely building and there’s nothing not to like about the menu. Small plates are exceptional and something different and the main meals have always been awesome. The pub is right near the racecourse and just across from town. Love it!

We chose this pub for a quiet meal as it was walking distance from where we were staying and had good reviews This pub did not disappoint it had a very friendly atmosphere, the staff were all polite and the food was amazing and good value for money It had a very cosy atmosphere with cute little private nooks for seating areas which I really liked as it added some privacy I would definitely recommend eating here

Came to Henry Potts for Sunday lunch with family after trying most of the other establishments around Chester over the last 10 years and it did not disappoint, the beef was cooked to perfection and the portion sizes were great, complete with pickled red cabbage, cheesey leeks, spot on roasties and a huge Yorkshire pudding, service from Sean and Dom was second to none, nothing was too much to sort and we left feeling very full and well looked after. I will be spreading word of mouth to friends and family for future occasions! Thank you Henry Potts

This has quickly become my favourite pub in Chester, I’d popped in once or twice in the past but since new management has taken over this is now my favourite pub in Chester. nothing better than having an amazing roast dinner and then a matter sat at the bar afterwards talking about their beers and unreal whisky selection, can’t wait to visit again on Sunday for another roast! Cheers team!

Was at a loose end one lunchtime and popped in for a sandwich. Ended up having the lunchtime offer (two courses, I chose buffalo wings followed by fish and chips) and a pint and the fish and chips in particular were excellent. Ended up chatting bourbon with the guy that’s the new GM and was made to feel very welcome, will definitely be going back.

The Henry Potts is a cracking little bar slightly off the beaten track of Chester city centre. 5 cask ales available, all very good quality. Friendly, welcoming service. Lovely quiet pub (I went in on a Friday afternoon and it was nice chilled atmosphere). I didn't try the food but there were a few people eating and they all seemed impressed. Would recommend you try.

Had a fantastic experience here. Really friendly, attentive staff and pleasant surroundings. The Sunday Roast was honestly one of the best I've ever eaten with deceptively large portions, expertly cooked and seasoned veg and a gravy to die for. Will be returning to sample the non Sunday fare soon but will not hesitate to recommend this place to family and friends. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Beautiful interior with low lighting and cosy private corners to nestle into. It was quiet for a Friday night but there was enough of a buzz to give a lovely atmosphere but still be quiet enough to have a conversation.

We went in on a Tuesday in the early evening. The pub is quite dark inside but has a traditional look and vibe in an old Georgian building. The bar staff were helpful. I had a pint of the bitter. It was a nice pint. The food was great. I had mussels on toast although it probably has a more exotic name. My wife had a pork rib eye and mash. Tasty fayre. The clientle seemed to be made up of tourists, locals having an after work drink and one or two dog owners. It wasn't 'rocking' as far as atmosphere goes. However, if you want a conversation and good food, this place ideal.

Hard to judge the atmosphere when we were the only two people in the place for most of our meal. The ownership is the same as The Hare (Farndon), The Swan (Marbury), and The Black Bear (Whitchurch).

Henry Potts was absolutely brilliant. We had dinner here on our first night in town and it did not disappoint. The scotch egg and honey mustard sausages were delicious. We ordered the ribeye, the pork ribeye, and the chicken ham hock pie for the mains. Each one was cooked properly and the flavours impressed. For dessert we tried the sticky toffee pudding and the rhubarb bakewell, which were perfectly lovely. Service spot on and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. It has eclectic touches wherever you look letting you settle in and enjoy your meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

I don't know who is writing good reviews about the food and hospitality at this place. Went for a weekend meal and drink after visiting the area. Food was poor. Microwaved, poor quality. Complained and got told there was nothing wrong with it. Landlord and landlady obviously had been drinking heavily. He was drinking spirits from a coffee cup !!!
