Nice place for a drink. Has always had very mediocre service, but seems to be improving

Me and my boyfriend was involved in a car crash just outside. The manager (I'm assuming she is) was absolutely lovely, as was the bar staff. Gave us a free coke and said we can stay about till recovery arrives. 10/10

Helpful, friendly bar staff kept our drinks coming as we sat outside under a large cover. Heaters available if it got too cold. Good range of beers and wines - I was drinking Cheshire Cat or Oracle - and friendly atmosphere.

We have called into this bar for the last 3 days when we have been walking back to our hotel. The staff are great. The drinks are reasonably priced. We didnt sample the food but it seemed to be enjoyed by other people. If we ever return to chester we will certainly visit the lodge

Great bar in hoole always good atmosphere with friendly staff. Good beer and cider always clean glasses and fresh tasting, good selection of both draught and bottled. Good wine selection and also great selection of spirits. The food here is amazing! For the price it really is excellent quality. The burgers are really good here they're probably one of the best in Chester I go for the steak one with Mexican cheese and jalapenos. In the week is not to busy for lunch but weekends it may be better to book a table for food. I've not had a Sunday roast here but have heard it's one of the best in Chester.

Can’t compliment them enough. The food is excellent and the variety is eclectic, from mussels to Chilli. Great pub food at sensible prices and the beer is also priced sensibly. You can sit outside or in but the tables inside do seem to be reserved by regulars which might be a bit off putting when you walk in as you can see a sea of reserved signs! Staff are great and helpful too the sharing platter for starters was excellent. Haven’t tried the desserts but they looked good. Ant understand why people would chose anywhere else in Hoole for lunch

The food is very good, as are the people. However, the disabled loo is not large enough to manoeuvre a powered wheel chair properly, nor is the car park easy to manoeuvre once it becomes full. Five stars for the food and people, but the rest lets them down.

The Lodge is a very nice bar that serves food a very standard. Their main beer comes from the Salopain brewery but also have a number of other lagers and bitters. The bar is split into a number of smaller rooms with different types of furniture. On thing that is very popular at the lodge is the outside seating area that has large umbrellas and heaters

30/09/24: Popped in for breakfast with friends and the obligatory mooch around J&S. Full English breakfast and a mug of tea is value for money and can set you up for the day. The decor is nothing special, but as it's predominantly a bikers' café that's not what it's about. The tables are big enough and spaced out well enough to be comfortable with biker clobber on, but it can get a bit noisy when it's busy and, as it's popular, it does get busy, especially in biking season. There are some back issues of bike-related mags if you fancy a read during your visit, and there is some outside seating for when the sun puts in an appearance, but this is a bit tired and could use a refresh. Service is generally dependable, but can be variable and depends on who is on shift. We've always got what we ordered, but some of the staff have in the past been miserable or surly, which takes the edge off a generally good experience.

Used to be one of the best takeaways in Chester. What happened? These are the mushed up prawns I got in my meal and the chips 🤢. The meal smelt off before I'd even unwrapped it
