The Morris Dancer in Cheshire West and Chester

Food was amazing the ragu tasted really nice and I enjoyed it

Superb food and atmosphere. Outstanding food quality 👌

Excellent for gluten free dishes. Well worth trying. Game suet pudding.

Unbelievable night at the Morris Dancer for Octoberfest! HELMUT IS MY NEW FAVOURITE HUMAN BEING AND I WOULD HAPPILY SACK OFF MY ENTIRE FAMILY FOR HIM! His bald had glistened in the glistened in the lighting and made me feel better about myself! Again I love him and want him to have my babies. The staff at the Dancer were also brilliant and I want to thank them for a brilliant evening! 10/10 would absolutely recommend

We often frequent the Morris Dancer for drinks and we are always given a warm welcome from all the Staff. We booked a table for my birthday and the service was excellent, from being seated to drinks being ordered and meals presented. Even though the pub was busy the food arrived in excellent time and was delicious. The pub and team are a credit to Steph. We're very lucky to have it on our doorstep and ideal for dogs too!

Slightly disappointed , was ok but not memorable. Booked table for 3 and was seated at a large table for 6 near to a rear door . Had booked but table wasn’t set . Place lacked atmosphere and we felt rushed through each course . Food was nice as was the service but nothing special , felt a bit disappointed when we left, not as memorable as the Pen-y-Bryn for service , atmosphere and food .

Steph and the team gave everyone such a fabulous welcome last night as we celebrated a very good friends 40th birthday, we left the village over 3 years ago and have not really been in , but it reminded us last night what a lovely welcoming place the Morris Dancer is , we will definitely be back

Gorgeous pub with spacious dining areas. Brunning and Price really know how to do pubs and we love em!. Went with friends for a long overdue catch up. We didn't skimp on anything starters, mains (sides) puddings, coffee and drinks. The bill was the most we have ever spent on one of our night outs at £50 per head so it isn't the cheapest. I can however tell you that the food was amazing - always perfectly cooked, tasty beyond words, service was pleasant and swift, attention to detail is superb. Highly recommend but be prepared for a hefty payout at the end of what was a perfect night!

Our family had the Sunday lunch, Beef, lamb and pork. It exceeded all our expectations, the meat was top grade, the veg was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The price was reasonable for the quality of food. We will certainly be returning in the future.

Excellent food at a fair price and superb service. As a lone diner I was offered a well positioned table. Food and drinks were efficiently served by very friendly but professional staff and cleared promptly. The food was a much better standard than I expected, well above 'pub fare' and at a very reasonable price. Exceptional creme brulé!

Cheese and onion pie delicious as always. Generous portions of green vegetables cooked to perfection. Prompt and polite service. Pleasant environment.

Food was ok, although got our order wrong but quickly rectified. Quite a noisy place not somewhere to go for a quiet meal out. But overall very good.

The Food was great , as was the service Friendly staff Great value I could not fault it , I will definitely be Going back again

We have gone to this pub many times over the last 9 years, it’s gone through some ownership changes in that time. It’s a great venue for a family meal out, on a sunny day the outside area is great with a kids play area too. Food is quite good too. A very sociable pub to visit

Amazing all round. Food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Highly recommend this gem ❤️

Excellent food with friends from out of the area who loved it.

Had a pot of tea and a toasted teacake for two. Excellent service. Food very good. Lovely interior and very clean. Highly recommended.

Love this restaurant. Always recommend. Eat with you every chance I get. Thank you!

I don’t normally write reviews, but everything about the Morris Dancer was wonderful. We had a warm welcome, food was delicious and Gabby our waitress went above and beyond. Thank you so much for a lovely evening.

If you go to the Morris Dancer make sure you have the crispy beef salad , it’s out of this world amazing, full of flavour and great value

Excellent service, good quality food at a fair price, good selection of Beers,ample parking, great spot for Lunch. Will definitely be back.

Booked for my friends birthday Very good choice of food, starters , main meals and desserts. We had wine with our food, very good selection. No complaints at all, and as this was my friends choice it was good choice

Most main meals were fine , but the very welcome mixture of green veg was so hard it was impossible to cut or chew. It's not even fashionable to do this now. What a waste. Staff and service lovely

Really impressed by the staff but we must have been dining during a shift change because our desserts were cold when expected to be hot. Unfortunately it was too late to amend once we realised. We did pass on our thoughts but felt underwhelmed by the response. The main course however was outstanding and ironically piping hot. Would definitely overall recommend this establishment.

Had a great visit today, great meal and excellent service from all the team here.

Usual great quality food, efficient and friendly service and great real ales. Recommend steak burger, morrocan lamb burger and crispy beef salad.

You need to keep in mind this IS NOT A PUB, it is a restaurant dressed up as pub. You MUST BOOK A TABLE. This is a local for me and on the past two occasions I have gone in for a drink, thinking it is a pub. On both occasions I picked an empty table, the card saying that is was reserved but the time being long passed. e.g 1245hrs and it was now 1400hrs. You would think you were safe to use this table but this is not so. At any point a booking can be taken and you will be given notice that you will need to vacate the table. The first time I had 30mins notice, this time 60 mins. So if you just want to drink then you can hang at the limited bar, the 4-5 table near the bar or go outside. The focus is on customers who are buying food. So this is a restaurant with a small bar NOT a pub which does food. So if you want to have a quiet drink unmolested you will need to book a table. If you opt for food be very clear that you have paid your bill and get a receipt. On a previous visit I was a chased across the car park by a staff member and had to prove I had paid. To which I got a very curt apology. This is not a customer centric business. The food is good if on the more pricey side. Service is efficient and the staff are friendly. So as a restaurant it is spot on. This is a place you go to eat not to drink.

Lovely pub with a great menu. This was my second visit and the food was gorgeous again. I will be back next time I’m in the area!

Had dinner here, a really warm welcome from the staff, great service and the food was really good too.

I recently dined here and had a disappointing experience due to an unfortunate incident. During our meal, someone was sick very close to our table. While I understand that such things can happen unexpectedly, the lack of response from the restaurant staff was concerning. We had to move ourselves to a table further away from the incident, as the waiter did not offer any assistance or show any concern for the disruption it caused us. This significantly impacted our dining experience. When we received the bill, I politely requested a discount due to the inconvenience. The waiter refused, stating that it wasn’t their fault and then got the manager. Unfortunately, even the manager was not understanding or accommodating. Instead of showing empathy or trying to resolve the situation, the manager was dismissive and spent more time debating with me about him being right rather than trying to resolve the situation. While I understand that the situation was beyond their control, it happened within the restaurant and during their service. A small gesture of goodwill, such as a discount or a complimentary item, would have shown that they value their customers and acknowledge the disturbance. Good customer service involves making efforts to ensure a positive experience even when things go wrong. Unfortunately, The Morris Dancer missed an opportunity to demonstrate this. Due to their poor handling of the situation and lack of customer care, I will not be dining here again. I hope they take this feedback seriously and improve their customer service in the future.

Lovely welcoming staff food amazing

Fantastic atmosphere in a lovely village with a great play area nearby

Excellent food well presented. Good range of real ales and drinks.

After paying over £16 for a main course, I decided to take half the meal home to eat later. The waitress obliged although only put a part of the meal I'd asked for in to a food container binning the rest. It was explained that "it was a mistake ". I complained to her superior who showed no sympathy whatsoever. I received no remuneration and am left feeling very angry as I paid full price for a meal half of which I was denied simply because the waitress failed to clarify with me the nature of my request. I now need to contact B & P customer service.

A lovely little place for a sunny day, everything was perfect... Was out for a meal with family, and I paid full bill, food and drinks. When leaving, a member of staff I think manager (chap in shorts and shirt) approached dtr in law and asked aggressively Have you paid... This really upset her, and no apology. Manners costs nothing, as a result we won't be back. Shame lovely place.

Went on May 10th for my birthday. It was fantastic.

Wow, what a great pub.....they go the extra mile, food fantastic, even the dog was fed..........Will definitely go back, and highly recommend.......so go on treat yourself you will not be disappointed

Great Sunday roasts. Well worth the money

Proper country pub well worth a visit.

A tasty treat for all ages, beautiful furniture, food from kids plates to to full sized plates. Easy to get to hard to not eat!

Fantastic and friendly staff. Food is absolutely fantastic 👌. Highly recommended

We were looking for a pub that was dog friendly to have lunch and The Morris Dancer fitted the bill. Friendly helpful staff greeted us and took us to our table. The interior is well furnished and the pub has a good atmosphere. There was a very good range of food on offer. My wife chose the beef braised in beer and I had the crispy beef salad both were well prepared, presented and delicious. The staff were attentive without being over the top. We will definitely be going back

I went with 3 friends, all our meals were superb and thoroughly enjoyed. I haven't ever had a meal that's disappointed and the service is spot on. We didn't feel rushed at all despite arriving early and them finding us a table.

I was with a group of friends who rented a cottage nearby to celebrate a "big birthday". We use other pubs in the same chain on a regular basis and it was fortunate that The Morris Dancer was close to our accommodation. There were seven of us in the group and we booked a table on a Saturday evening in February. The pub was packed but the service was fine given the challenges of a very full noisy establishment. The food was good especially as there were four vegetarians in the group of seven. There were no complaints. There was ample parking and the whole experience was satisfactory. I have never had a bad experience in a pub run by this chain. All good.

A warm welcome followed by a superb , high quality roast lunch which was of generous abundance!

Great first visit to The Morris Dancer, lovely food, great staff and fab location. 👌

Went to The Morris dancer tonight! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! The food was brilliant from the halloumi starter to the hot waffle dessert!😀 and don’t forget the size of the onion rings!! Staff were incredibly friendly and the landlady Steph was brilliant and incredible helpful! Overall amazing trip and will 100% be returning!! 😀😀

I don’t normally write reviews, but we had such a lovely time here. Not many places give you such a warm welcome when you walk in. Staff were so attentive and food was wonderful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and look forward to my next visit.

I regularly use Brunning &Price pubs….the quality of the food and ales is always good and it is reassuring to know this especially when you invite guests The Morris Dancer is a busy local as well as a gastro type eatery. It is a large building with many different areas offering different environments. Service is usually provided by youngsters who always seem to be well trained and supervised. Lots of smiles and patience. The food itself is excellent and I can recommend the lamb shank for mains. Also if you have a pudding draw (!!) then go for the Bread and Butter Pudding with apricot - to die for!!

We were welcomed and shown to our table whilst waiting for other family to arrive. We ordered a few starters to share amongst us but upon arrival we had to ask twice for some small plates and were left for quite a while before they arrived. Upon our mains arriving we had to ask for more cutlery, we had used ours during the starters, again having to wait and food going cold yet again. Had to ask for vinegar for our chips. One member of our party didn’t receive their main when all ours arrived meaning we had all finished before they had barely started. Pudding & coffee option great however my cup was barely full and had literally 2 cm deep of coffee and the rest was froth. Whilst I don’t mind dogs (we are a dog owning family) I do mind dogs that are acting unruly especially in an enclosed environment. A table had two labs which were completely chilled out but then a couple came in with a Rottweiler that was very vocal upon seeing the labs, which then made a child scream as it was scared. This went on for 10 minutes. I was glad to be finished and getting ready to exit at this point, however, the dog owner was more bothered about carrying her two pints of lager and trying to hold a boisterous, barking Rottweiler than the other people around her ie elderly person with poor mobility using a walking stick who is terrified of being knocked over. The food was OK, the pub is lovely and tables spread out but for the amount of staff, service was poor, very poor. Would think twice about returning which is a shame as other family member recommend it for my birthday meal. Upon exiting we were met by a large dog 💩 by the front door on the grass. Whilst it’s disgraceful of dog owners not to clean up, management should notice this and act accordingly, especially by the main entrance/exit to the establishment

After 2 excellent meals at this pub recently I recommended this to my family for a birthday meal for 6 people. We had a lovely table and no pressure to leave it. Lots of staff asking if we needed drinks etc. the food was tasty. However the actual service was quite poor; we had to ask for plates for starters , cutlery , the mains weren’t served together and one of thr mains was forgotten. Disappointed this time .

Gorgeous Sicilian Fish Stew with chunky chips to die for ❤️ Always lovely friendly Service and a warming log fire 🔥 Kirsty is the best waitress ever 👌

We hadn't been here for a while because last time they had only 1 vegan option but we decided to come back and try it again. The food was lovely but what made our day was the waitress Kirsti. She was polite, friendly and couldn't do enough for us. A real asset to the restaurant. Thanks Kirsti.

We had a fantastic experience at the Morris Dancer! The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and look forward to visiting again soon.

Food was good but slightly expensive for what it was. Staff were lovely but did get forgotten about twice. Service was fast and the atmosphere was very good. Wouldn't go out my way to go back but if I was in the area I'd pop in.

Excellent restaurant and pleasant dining rooms - And today excellent Fish and Chips

A nice welcome on entering the pub with a cosy fire burning. Four of us had lunch & all ate different meals. Have to say we were impressed with the menu & quality of the food & all commented on how plentiful a tasty it was. With efficient service & excellent food it won’t be long before we return.

Lite bite menu and small pudding and coffee for both of us. Lovely tasty food, good service and a lovely pub. Waitress was very good. Will return.

Fantastic food, drinks and service.

This is our local. It's a beautifuly fitted out modern bar and resteraunt with a oldy worldy feel. The friendly staff are chatty and helpful. The food is also a very high standard.

Very good quality food and staff very helpful and good service.

If you love a raoring fire in the winter, then this is the place for you. The food is excellent, and the service comes with a smile. Can't recommend highly enough for a casual meal, coffee, or a pint!

It a big place, food was excellent will definitely go again,

Great place & the food was excellent.

A massive thank you to all staff at Morris Dancer , they catered for 20 of us for my 60th Birthday, all different orders and all arrived at same time , no one waiting , what great service , everyone said their meal was spot on . Thankyou chefs Thankyou to the girl taking our orders, no errors that was a challenge. Thankyou again everyone, would highly recommend Alison & Chris stubbs

Thoroughly enjoyed our New Year’s Eve celebrations - nothing to fault at all. Staff were amazing- despite being very busy - the service and food were both excellent. Music and band were good too. All in all a great night and we’ll be back! Thank you and Happy New Year to all the team.

As always, the amazing team at The Morris Dancer did not disappoint! Friendly, courteous, professional … nothing too much trouble. All expertly watched over and monitored by Steph, the newly appointed general manager. This place really is the ‘heart of the village’ welcoming locals and people passing by in equal measure. The food is the high Brunning and Price standard we’ve all come to expect, and yet again they did not fail. Our evening was pleasurable from start to finish, at no stage did we feel rushed or under pressure to leave our table. The early doors/drinkers crowd is incredible too, at times they were literally two and three deep at the bar, being served very promptly by the excellent team. Well worth a visit. Many thanks for a job well done!

Always buzzing here, never quiet, but never mad busy. Staff are lovely and very attentive and generally very friendly, with excellent food service, a tasty menu and lots of good whiskey choice too. Indoors and outdoors are terrific, and at any time of year, this is worth a visit.

Highly rate the B&P chain, hence booking here whilst in the area. Lovely location & tastefully decorated. Arrived for a late lunch/early dinner booking, in a practically empty side room and placed on a table for 2, when we booked as a 3, so uncomfortably had to make do. Menus given upon seating but had to request a menu for my child, who felt forgotten about. Service was quick, but food was fairly average. Not our usual B&P experience and so we won’t be coming back here anytime soon.

Steph and team are brilliant here. Had a wonderful meal here with extended family ❤️

A lovely gastropub with great food, like most of the Brinning and Price chain. It's a characterful and cosy building and has some really good veggie and vegan options as well as the usual traditional roasts etc. Service was efficient and we left full, owing to the generous portion sizes.

Excellent pre-Christmas meal, with mates. Good service and tasty grub. Thanks.

Waited an hour for lunch , food poor overcooked - jackfruit curry. Their previous vegan dish butternut squash with oak Choi was always great. Perhaps the kitchen was overwhelmed ? Service friendly and did not get charged for lunch which was unexpected

Service pretty terrible. Food was ok. Very expensive for fairly standard pub food

Went for an evening meal in December, had the Christmas dinner and my wife had Crispy Beef salad. Food was excellent, well presented, lovely. Staff checked on us to see if everything was alright, lots of parking at the front of the pub. Would definitely...

Excellent food and excellent customer service from waiting on people. Lovely Christmas decorations. December 2023

We booked a table for Saturday 2nd December 2023, I had the crispy squid as a starter and followed with the beer battered cod, less than an hour after eating I was sick and had terrible stomach cramps, watery diarrhea and nausea, a clear case of food poisoning. Terrible expensive experience.

Just returned from a party lunch at The Morris Dancer,very busy,but food,service and atmosphere were brilliant,the staff cool and calm,but waited for nothing,everyones meal served without any problems,everyone delighted with the quality,quantity and appearance of every course,bar service good all in all a superb lunch,will...

The food was superb, we chose the Christmas Fayre menu and the service was excellent, super, friendly staff who made you feel welcome..Thank You x

Good value food (best nocci dish I've ever had) nicely presented dishes, very pleasant, attentive & efficient staff, but quite noisy environment. Wine ok-ish, beer good.

Has new staff starting In context we walked in, no booking, and offered a table for 6. Ordered drinks and food Drinks order went wrong- after the second error (gin no tonic) the barman resolved. Food order wrong ordered for 6 for food for 5. Resolved but a delay We either got a bad day or there are issues. It's clean, it's large it seems ok. Just not this time

Out again,this time with family. Pre-booked for 9 . Had excellent steak and ale pie and delicious bread and butter pud with stewed apricots. Staff very attentive,no issues at all . It's a lovely venue plenty of room round the table too for staff and...

Great place to eat and the fire in winter is so cosy. Love the food and classy but relaxed pub. The park next door is great for kids too. Lovely village park with stuff to play on. The zip wire is amazeballs.

Came here with an old friend who lives by this restaurant, lovely layout lots of pictures to see. Lots of different seating areas. We had a meal which was cooked to perfection. Are waitress Kirsti was excellent no requests were too much, lovely smiles on...

Beautiful place, friendly staff and the food is fantastic! Myself, my husband and our 3 teenage boys regularly visit, mainly for a Sunday roast, never disappoints.

Very busy and very lively. They are getting it right. Varied age groups, some eating, some drinking or both. Smiley staff. We go for coffee midweek and dinner from time to time. Like the log of miles for the Ales. Recommended

Thoroughly enjoyable Sunday lunch. Pub and restaurant are run perfectly. Warm, welcoming environment yet all staff super efficient. The Sunday lunch was delicious and the deserts excellent. We had drinks outside first and were severed quickly and very pleasantly. Inside all the servers were attentive,...

Had a party of 13 in the Private Dining room for lunch . The food was lovely and the service was excellent. A big Thank You to all who were involved.

Dreadful experience today. Normally think very highly of the B&P chain but this was extremely poor. Food and service attitude was worst I have had in a long time. Ordered the mixed roast. Meal was cold, the 2 roast potatoes were dry and the meat...

Dreadful experience today. Normally think very highly of the B&P chain but this was extremely poor. Food and service attitude was worst I have had in a long time. Ordered the mixed roast. Meal was cold, the 2 roast potatoes were dry and the meat was tasteless and fatty. Had to order a steak knife to tear the fat off it. Sent it back after a few mouthfuls and asked for the menu to order something different. No Apology. Waitress couldn’t have cared less. No even interested in what I had an issue with. Was then left for 10 mins by which time my partner had almost finished her meal. I eventually declined another meal from the same waitress and again received no apology, or any effort to find out what the problem might have been. Finally after ordering the bill a manager came and apologised. He was very nice but sadly the damage already done. 2 stars given as my partner enjoyed her meal and the manager was very nice at the end.

Plenty of parking at the front of the pub, inside very nice. Food is nicely presented and tasted fantastic. Would highly recommend a visit here.

Amazing restaurant lovely clean comfortable environment me and my partner go most weeks and the food is lovely and the staff are friendly especially Kirsty in the back room she goes above and beyond to help

We visit a few times a year, meeting friends as it is midway between Oswestry and Bollington. As always the food and the choices were excellent, and Kirsti who served us was delightful, friendly and efficient. I can't recommend them highly enough and we will...

Lovely Sunday evening meal. Great choice of food, including veggie and children’s options. Friendly staff, nice table, we pre booked. Quite noisy as very busy and at times the service was a little slow at times. Very enjoyable and would visit again.

Service was a tad slow but food was first class and such a great selection. Our first time but will visit again.

Great value for money, very tasty main course (beef feather) and desserts. Service was very good.

Fabulous food and atmosphere. Service wonderful. Kirsti is wonderful, cheerful, very courteous and very helpful with the menu. Kirsti made the experience a great experience along with the fab food quality. Very efficient operation from start to finish. Will be back!!

Popped in for lunch on way home and what a find. Excellent choice on menu, food was superb, Looked after by Kirsti who was very helpfull and knowledgeable of the menu. Nothing was too much trouble.

Those who have stated that the service at the bar is rather poor are dead right. Having been allocated a table and given a menu, no complaints, I went to the bar to buy a drink. I was the only person standing there, and I...

We had just completed a local walk and we had a great lunch and had excellent service
