The Moorings in Cheshire West and Chester

This is an incredible gem. The portions are large and the puddings especially should not be missed! Everything was cooked with such care.

We live locally & have been a few times over the years. Always good menu & delicious food. (I like that’s it’s not the menu you get at so many pub restaurants. Delivered in bulk!) I’ve taken my daughter, husband, mother and friends and we’ve all had fabulous meals. Or we’ve been for light lunches or coffee & never disappointed. Beware the desserts are generous!

Great place to go for snacks or dinner, friendly service with a smile

Friendly and caring hosts, lovely food very welcoming.

Went for my Dad’s 80th birthday lunch. We all opted for main course items off the traditional menu. All very nice food and great service. We brought our own cake and candles to which they brought out after our food was finished. We were overlooking the marina which was a lovely view. Would definitely recommend.

The PRAWNS IN MARIE ROSE SAUCE was excellent. Packed full of prawns and the salad was very fresh too. Good value for money we both came away full and satisfied. Highly recommend 😁👌🏻

Lovely little place with a nice view of the canal, amazing homemade food and lovely service.

Very unassuming place with slightly dated decor. However the food was outstanding and the welcome was lovely. Super clean as well - would definitely recommend. Actually deserves more than 5 for the food.

The Moorings is my favourite local restaurant. The food is traditional, all homemade and of a very high quality. I had vegetable lasagne with chips and salad and a tiramisu afterwards. The service is so welcoming and it is very relaxing to sit outside and look at the canal and the swans. It is an ideal place to just drop in for lunch or to book a special evening meal. I have brought all my family members and they also loved it.

Very enjoyable Closed Meal there but, having been there, would recommend.

Just had Christmas dinner there WAS EXCELLENT

No tables vacant. Staff not over friendly. Coffee not very hot

Excellent food, huge portions given by polite staff. I have been for special family meals with groups of 10 people and also just with a friend for a lunch. Nothing is too much trouble. Puddings are great but I often don't get that far as too full! Lovely view of the marina and easy car parking. Soot Hill has reopened so start to go again :)

Fantastic food all freshly cooked, beef to die for

Looks unassuming from outside, when inside. Nicely set out and meals are well worth the money. Big meals and tasty. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Excellent food and friendly, prompt service.

Oh what a hidden gem! Food was incredible! I only wish we had went here the previous evening, rather than opting for the meh pub food that was not that far away. Won’t be fooled again 😊

Had a wonderful birthday meal at lunchtime with my sister. WOW what a find! Lovely view over the marina. Choice of food fabulous and have to say was the best meal i've had in a very long time. The food was so tasty and presentation perfect. Definitely be back.

Looks a bit unassuming from the outside, like it isn't a restaurant but don't be put off! The interior is very restaurant style (diamond cut glasses, tables set with linen table cloths) and the first thing you notice is the view! The staff were so welcoming and kind and the food was home cooked, fresh and delicious 😋. I had already started tucking into my stroganoff before remembering to take the picture so it did come out looking better that that 🤣. Only a few benches outside but we got one easily so who cares, we will definitely be back thank you 😊

Went with family for birthday lunch (16 of us) excellent service and the food was lovely definitely recommend.

Food was excellent Jackie and Jimmy work so so hard to make it a lovely experience

My fiance and I called in here for a snack.We had ham salad baguette and cheesecake, both wonderful. Highly recommend calling in here.

had a lovely meal and the views were lovely.

My husband and I had two roast dinners today and thoroughly enjoyed our first visit. Food and service exceptional, we were made to feel very welcome.

The main meal was not hot enough. The boiled potatoes were rock hard. The Christmas pudding was not great,a bit commercially cut from a rectangle slab, not the real deal. We paid a lot of money for a 3 course meal,so expected better than I could do at home,I can defiantly do better for much less money!! The Christmas decorations were nice. Apart from that we had a nice time. The ladies toilet was pleasant.

Super place Walking back in time with a super menu and good service One drawback during the colder weather when the outdoor space can't be used is only one table overlooks the marina

we came in today as part of a cycle event, Jacky and the staff were super friendly and the set up was really well organised

Friendly staff good food. Definitely worth a visit.

Frozen in time, like restaurants were 20 years ago, vinyl covered chairs and heavy cheap looking glassware. Sadly the chicken livers on brioche were braised livers in a brown sauce soaking a plain brioche. The chicken and mushroom pie was nice but looked bought in, apologies if it wasn't, the supplied 'gravy' tasted greasy and was inedible. Of the veg served the potatoes and green beans were under cooked, chips very nice.The wine was good and well priced. Unsurprisingly there were only two other diners on our visit which was admittedly early for some. Such a shame, it's a nice spot overlooking the marina but badly needs a root and branch makeover.

Really nice pie, lovely view of the marina, quiet.

The perfect place for a summer afternoon

A lovely restaurant with a lovely view of the marina, and the food was excellent.

Really nice locations with a beautiful view to the boats on the water. The owners are so nice too and the food is just as amazing. Really enjoyed it.

Food is always excellent. Highly recommended. 👍

Called in for coffee after a long, wet, muddy walk and received a warm welcome in spite of our bedraggled state. Good teas/ coffees served piping hot, the coffees in lovely big cups. Great spot overlooking the marina and very handy if you want to visit Anderton Boat Lift, or take any of the extensive walks around the country park and into Marbury or on to the Flashes. Lunch and Dinner menus looked very appetising.

We came late notice and they were quiet, but still treated us well. Owner was lovely and the food was very very fresh with good flavours. Best chips we've had in a long time! Well worth a visit.

First class food and nice atmosphere.

This place is fantastic! Great Sunday dinners and friendly, welcoming staff 🙌

What a wonderful find purely by chance! From the friendly lady on the phone booking a table to the charming gentleman taking our orders. The liver was so tasty, ham salad was one of the best we have ever had (variety of flavours and textures) and the cappuccino mousse was out of this world - both to look at and eat. The views over the canal was delightful. We are looking forward to visiting again.

Popped in here by chance for a Sunday meal without a reservation and received a warm welcome. The Sunday lunch was tasty and plentiful,with a good selection of vegetables. We then opted for a desert,wow they were delicious. Service, was warm, polite and courteous. Overall a great meal at a reasonable price.

Only put one star as couldn't write a review otherwise. What a rude, obnoxious , horrible, most unfriendly man who served me. Will never go again

Lovey ppl and delicious food loved every minute there xxxx

Jackie and her team work so hard they made 25th.July a memorable day for me

Beautiful setting, amazing food and lovely staff. Spent a perfect afternoon with family for a very special send off. Thank you

Found The Moorings by accident, and was made really welcome. Lovely coffee and cake

Lovely little spot only had afternoon tea but was lovely

Really nice home cooked food nice surroundings really nice helpful staff and service

The best cheesecake in the world!

Beautifully cooked tasty food. Well worth a visit. Staff wonderful.

Another excellent lunch. I absolutely love and would recommend the chicken curry not too hot just perfect. Very well organised felt completely COVID safe. Elizabeth Boulton, Holywood, Northern Ireland

Hired a boat for the day,very helpful and friendly from start to finish, everyone loved the day out

Fabulous food great service would definitely recommend a lovely day with family 👪

Great cup of tea and delicious scone but sadly toilets not open to customers

The Moorings is amazing! I have been going there since I was a baby and honestly best ever! Jacky and Jimmy are always so lovely, no change to that due to covid. Food still fantastic! Highly recommend!

Great place, they complete an excellent treatment

Our first visit to this place and we were both surprised to have such a generous portion of the food. I ordered the vegetable lasagne and my hubby had the top side beef. Absolutely delicious. We will definitely pass the word around, as we had a wonderful meal there.

Great place, beer garden and well run for social distancing. The barman was lovely and friendly too.

Friendly service for breakfast and lunch

Great food !!!lovely staff....😊

An excellent meal as always. Remember to book a table though. Very friendly staff and reasonably priced.

We visited this place afted reading reviews. We both ordered sirloin steaks. The quality wasn't good, when my friend commented the feedback was 'well your getting through it aren't you' ! The cost was no cheaper than many good restaurants in the area. Won't be going again. No offer to satisfy the customer.

Absolutely brilliant to quality food and service I cant speak highly enough definitely recommend to anyone who asks

First visit the other day for lunch. Lovely place, superbly presented food, good value and very welcoming. I’ll definitely be visiting again. The photo is of the vegetable lasagne I had.

A bit quirky and oldy worldy but excellent food very tasty

Went last night with the girls, food and service first class. We will be back

Nice stop for refreshments on bike ride.

I like to meet Jimmy and Jackie

Excellent service friendly team and food (Sunday Roast and veg and potatoes) first class

Been once a while ago was very good then must go again soon.sorry only went for fuel.

Excellent place to eat, food is delicious. And particularly welcoming to cyclists especially cycling families!

Food was lovely staff friendly

We had a fantastic meal last night , a great way to finish our holiday on the canal boat with great friends. The food was all home made .

We went last week for tea. We both had the egg mayonnaise starter with a side of chips as a main. The egg mayonnaise was delicious - a halved egg served on a bed of salad: lettuce, red pepper, radish, cucumber and tomatoes, with lashings of mayonnaise. The chips were done to perfection: crisp on the outside, light and fluffy inside. For dessert we had the vanilla and raspberry cheesecake... Oh my! Heaven on a plate! Worth every penny.

Excellent meal and excellent service. A little bit on the expensive side but at the end of the day you get what you pay for and my steak was to die for.

Great location, Really enjoyable food and very reasonably priced

Lovely views and decent tasty food, a little mean on the amount of meat.

Very good pub, great food and drinks

Really Nice Lunch Overlooking the Marina. Can go Inside or Out! 😁

Excellent location. Delicious food, at reasonable prices. Friendly, helpful, efficient service. Nice ambience indoors, and outside seating (when the weather's good).

We enjoyed a family lunch here the food was delicious and a lovely presentation and service i would recommend it here we will certainly go back

Great food, view and atmosphere. The hosts couldn't be nicer or do enough for you. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

A lovely little business local in an excellent spot with a beautiful view of all the canal boats. The owners are very friendly and the food was very nice

Nice experience, different opening times

Quality food at a reasonable price in a relaxed setting overlooking the canal marina. Highly recommended.

Extensive menu.. sandwiches/cakes and full meals with special board. We had a lovely piping hot meal.... too full to sample desserts but threre was a wonderful choice. Doesn't look much from the outside but GO IN you will be surprised.

Great little place to eat or coffee and cake at a lovely canal area near to Anderton Lift and Marbury Country Park

Excellent moorings. Very nice people.

Excellent restaurant overlooking the moored narrowboats

Lovely food, very nicely presented

It was closed on a Sunday evening

There was a party of give for Sunday Lunch. And my own lunch was delicious as always. I have never had a bad meal at the Moorings. I can recommend it 100% the ambience is Good, the service excellent xx
