Fantastic Christmas Day Dinner for table of 15, all meals fabulous - turkey, beef, fish, lamb - each with fresh veg and potatoes. Perfect starters, desserts and cheese and biscuits. Fabulous service at the table and bar.

Disappointing Sunday Lunch. Table booked for 16.30, girl behind the bar pointed to a table and told us to sit there. The choice was beef or pork for Sunday Lunch. We had to ask to be shown the specials board when 2 of us wanted beef only to be told they had sold out. I had roast pork, came with mashed and roast potatoes, carrots and overcooked cabbage. The young girl asked if we wanted any sauces, I asked for apple sauce, eventually she came back and said they had run out. All in all the food wasn't upto standard and the service was poor.

Visited this establishment on 20th September for our anniversary meal only to be told the kitchen was closed, the time was 19.50, both on Facebook and their website stated that the kitchen closes at 21.00, decided to have a drink before leaving and listened to a member of staff tell a group of people that they're starter was on their table, we had contacted the establishment the day before and there was no mention of the kitchen closing early on a Monday, will never recommend this place to anyone, very very disappointed.

Having eaten here numerous times pre covid we booked a family meal to take my parents out. Service extremely disappointing. Walked in and waited... no staff on the bar or in the restaurant..had I have just walked in on spec I wud have walked straight out, however I had booked a table so staff should have been expecting us. Instead of being sat in the restaurant area we were sat in the bar area. No dress code for staff. Rather than the restaurant I thought I was taking my parents to it is a run of the mill pub serving good food. To sum up. Extremely poor service. Good food.

As a regular visitor pre-Covid we have noticed a significant difference in the offerings of food available. The choice at lunchtime is now limited as the lunchtime smaller/specials have been discontinued. This will deter the silver diners which would fill the place at lunch. Not just because the prices are significantly higher but the portion sizes are larger than desired. The Covid regulations are adhered to and the food is of excellent quality. It’s just a pity that the price and size of the lunch now makes it prohibitive for a regular visit.

Sick of reading about all the sacks stockpiling food we decided to go out for Sunday lunch to cheer ourselves up and we decided on this little gem. From the minute you walk in you get the sense of community.. We were sat down straight away and all of us had a starter main and dessert.. the food came really quickly and was piping hot. fresh quality well cooked delicious food and we agreed that we will definitely be back here very soon

Birthday treat for afternoon tea. Put us in a room on our own so I asked to be moved to sit with everyone else dining...which they did. Sandwiches brought out on saucer sized plate then another plate with cakes and scones. I asked why not served on 3 tier cake stand as she gave some poor excuse as to cakes might melt so they don't use them hower other diners had them! They forgot to bring the strawberries and cream and champagne we ordered. Waitress was moody and unhelpful and we had to go into bar for a cocktail as they were now shutting!! Huge amount of money for poor food and service. Never been back!

The Woodland is close to Ellemere Port Hospital and serves for much of the day. Usual "Stonehouse" fayre. Very pleasant member of staff who checked for allergies and carried our drinks to our table as I am dodgy on my feet. We took advantage of the offer of two meals for £11.75 from a reduced menu. Pleasant food, but nothing special, except the price.

We went here for food as the brewers fayre is closed for refurbishments at the premier inn we were staying at. The food was terrible, if it wasn't for us being starving after a full day at Chester zoo we wouldn't have eaten it. Wasn't expecting top of the notch food for the price but was definitely expecting much better than what was served. Everything looks to have come out the same deep fat fryer which seemed could do with a oil change, one of my children's starters was veg sticks which were so dry and looked like they'd been prepped the week before, the others a "garlic bread starter" was two slices off a cheap garlic baguette. The staff were lovely and the place was clean so probably a great place for a drink, just wouldn't return again food.
