The Oaklands Hungry Horse in Cheshire West and Chester

Ginge (THE GINGER ONE) was amazing, beautiful person inside and out

Brilliant customer service by ginge

We came in on Monday for an Abba tribute. We had a 3 course meal and the entertainment for £20. The tribute act was amazing my mum loved it as she’s a big fan. Talking to the manager this was the start of bringing entertainment to the place. Looking forward to coming back for future events.

We had a Christmas catch up with friends and picked here for convenience with car parking. Lovely pub and warm and inviting on a cold day. Staff are really friendly and make you feel welcomed and great prices and offers. We will be returning here again.

Came in today for Santa breakfast my little one loved it when we went to there grotto to meet santa. The food was tasty we had the waffle stack very tasty. Looking forward to further events

What an Unbelievable experience I had here on Thursday 12th December! The member of staff called Adam also called Ginge maybe? He was very attentive and such a genuine human! With a great sense of humour! Would come back just for his company again! Didn’t stay in the rooms so can’t comment on them but heard they were nice!

Had a lovely festive lunch with my mum and the ABBA tribute act was brilliant entertainment . Great location friendly staff and onsite parking

Booked the festive menu lunch that also had free entertainment- the ABBA tribute act was brilliant! Great location close to Chester, friendly staff and onsite parking.

Best place in Chester for food if you know you know

Great place. Great staff Wendy was really helpful and welcoming. Food was lovely and great value for money

Visited the Oakland’s tonight food was delicious and staff were very friendly and efficient especially ginge would recommend a visit I will certainly return

Lovely pub go here at least once a week with family or friends. Great food and the staff are great especially meg who helped us out this morning choicing breakfast Cant wait to go back hopefully next month

Ging is a fantastic colleague most of the staff at the Oaklands are fantastic and it is great having a greene king near where I live

I recently visited the Oaklands with a couple of friends on our way into chester. When we got to the bar we were greeted by ginge who let’s say is such a character. He has such amazing humour and banter and he is very very knowledgable about what he’s doing! We were only popping in for a drink before walking into the city but because ginge told us about all the offers they had on it was kinda hard not to take advantage of some of them! Me and my friend ordered a pint each and we ordered 2 baby Guinness and ginge told us about the 3 for £6 but there was only 2 of us! Somehow Ginge managed to persuade us to get 6 shots instead and instead of baby Guinness he persuaded us to mix and match so we had 3 baby Guinness and 3 chocolate liqueur shots and wow they were amazing!! We didn’t have food this time around but the pub was busy with people eating. Next time we are in the area we will definitely have some food. We just want to say a massive thanks to Ginge he held a great conversation with us and is such a credit to the team.

My wife and I recently stayed here for a One night stay, we've spent many weekends in Chester at different Hotels and b&b's but sadly this is the worst room we've had. As soon as we walked in the creaking in the floorboards was ridiculous, you couldn't quietly go to the toilet in the night without waking up your partner. The paint was peeling off the walls and the window.was broken and rattling, we had to pull the blinds down and barrier up the window (as in the photo) also it looked like someone had tried to break into the room at some point with the door frame coming apart. But the worst part was that the bed head board was next to a box section on the wall that had a soil pipe coming down so when the room above flushed the toilet you heard it clearly. On the plus side the food was lovely.

Just had amazing afternoon. Went here to see the Abba tribute and have a meal and several drinks. It was a fantastic time food music brought back loads of memories of going to see Abba voyage. It was a brilliant atmosphere . Trying to think how to get next Monday off work to come for the Michael Bublé tribute 😊

Adam was very attentive and very helpful and talked us through the menu

Always go in here on way to Chester and never disappointed was quite busy for a Monday afternoon but served quickly would definitely recommend

Came in for lunch yesterday and it was delicious and great value for money. I was served by Meg G and she was very helpful and informative. We will 100% be back!

Had a combo sharer, half of it was hot and rest was cold, galic bread was not cooked properly, no bbq sauce came with it, we had no check back, all in all my experience was terrible

Lovely warm room and comfy bed.

Exceptional value and great staff. Love it. The free parking is a welcomed bonus.

Went for breakfast with my Dad really good value for money. Wendy and Meg G great staff and give Greene king a good name. Thanks guys :)

Very good pub while working out of town. Elaine J was a great bar maid and made sure we were aware of any deals!

10 out of 10 for the lane and Megan

Went for lunch yesterday and the lady that served us, she said her name was Meg A, was super friendly and gave us some really good suggestions about what to get.

We Came in for a 10th birthday and wow! The staff were amazing. We were served with in minuets of walking in by ginge who certainly knew his stuff. Food was brilliant and it was all round a brilliant experience. We will definitely be back soon.

Louise is one of the politest people you will meet and will help you in anyway she can. it's cheap and cheerful food as u would want but served with a 100%friendly service

Absolutely lovely bar tenders very helpful to me as I’m over from Ireland and great craic 💯

Food was excellent and service was great by Elaine j maize and Louise

Sevice was amazing from Elain J x

Great food and cheerful staff especially Elain J

What a lovely place, inside and out. So clean and staff where super friendly. Made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere and the food were just amazing. Will definitely be visiting here again. Well done to all the team. Just a very warm and welcoming place to visit.

I recently visited The Oakland’s pub, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, striking the perfect balance between a modern vibe and traditional pub charm. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was excellent – freshly prepared, full of flavour, and served in generous portions. There’s a great variety on the menu, with something for everyone, including vegetarian options. The outdoor seating area was a highlight, spacious and well-kept, making it ideal for enjoying a drink on a sunny day. The pub is also family-friendly, which added to the overall experience. Whether you’re there for a quick drink or a meal with friends or family, The Oakland’s is a great spot. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be returning!

What an amazing place! Great food, great range of drinks at amazing prices. The atmosphere was great people of different ages and backgrounds all having a great time! Kristen was a wonderful host and provided a exceptional service!

Love this place, food was great and there was lovely relaxed atmosphere. I've been before with family and had a good time then too. I would definitely recommend it

Great pub with cosy atmosphere and friendly staff, especially Meg A who was lovely

Nice paint and good atmosphere 👍

Came in for a few drinks service from Louise, Mazie and Elaine D was spectacular. Will definitely visit again!

Good place to go for a quick bite or a drink . I didn't use all facilities. The menu seems good but I had some that although tasty was just look warm. I wasn't satisfied with it .

Fantastic hotel!great atmosphere and food Staff all friendly and helpful and a big shout out to Meg she’s a star

Meg is a great assistant manager

Rooms okay, could do with a bedside set of drawers. Cleaned everyday. Service good. 30 mins walk into town. Faulkner Street 5 mins down the road, excellent Italian Restaurant Made in Italy, located there.

Didn’t use the accommodation but called in for a meal during a day out in Chester. Reliable as ever, another good Greene King pub. Value for money & great food. Service was good & Meg G delivered it with a smile and a friendly attitude. Will definitely be back to test the accommodation!

we came in earlier and were delighted to receive excellent and friendly service from a lovely staff member, Meg G. Will definitely be back!

Fabulous environment, food, and service. Meg G was our server and she went above and beyond to ensure our visit was enjoyable. Would highly recommend

Had a fantastic visit to the oaklands as the food and staff are fantastic very helpful especially Meg who was more than happy to help me with any questions I had about my meal I ordered the beer is spot on very welcoming staff and customers a real traditional family atmosphere will definitely be back again keep up the great work

Went for a meal with the family it was be very good Susan was very helpful chatting to us. The food wasn’t up to my liking but the service was amazing.

Only visited the Oaklands for a family meal. Was very polite service, and the food was excellent and better than some other Hungry Horse venues I have eaten at. Prices are good, some new food on the menu which is always good and makes you doubt what you want ti eat as so many choices. Definitely be visiting the Hungry Horse venue again.

Average food served on very sticky tables

Great service excellent food and staff were excellent and Elaine krank was very helpful

Fantastic service off Elaine d Asset to the pub

Ideal for short stay over, rooms ok, clean but in need of upgrade, location great as we're staff.

Went for a Sunday roast with my family. The roast dinner was lovely but I recommend asking for an extra pot of gravy as the original serving is not enough. Great food and service from the staff.

It’s basic but it does the Job. I didn’t know Green King was a football pub chain, I should have done more home work, because there is not a inch of wall real estate that does not have a tv playing football. The room it’s self does the job, but no fridge, soap dispenser on wall for sink and shower like you would have in a public toilet. The chairs in the room are plastic covered cushions for easy cleaning. For £140 a night I would have expected a lot better. I thought it was a lot closer to Chester, but Chester is a big city, so to get to the Center it is a 40 min walk unless you power walk. I wouldn’t stay again and would not recommend for the price. However if you get it significantly cheaper, want to use the pub and you’re a football fanatic who does not mind the most basic room, then go for it. On a plus note the staff were very nice.

Great place and fab staff (especially Kirsten 🙂 ). Really good for the football and 10% off the beers!

Great pub loads of TVs with all the sport and even an outside TV. Food looks great but haven’t tried it yet. All the staff are friendly but Kirsten is on another level she is a ray of sunshine on this dull summer day. People say the birth of a child is the most amazing day of their lives, those people have never pleasure of being served by Kristen

Popped in after a visit to Chester Zoo, which is proudly advertised with a mural on the wall of this venue. Had a lovely meal with my family, just a pity the table felt sticky and the peas were overcooked.

Went to Oaklands for Breakfast with Mum and then some shopping in chester due to living in Wales. Wendy one of the staff was asking us about our day, we told about going shopping and told us where to go in chester. She was so kind to my mother.

Great hotel in Chester. The rooms are neat and clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. Everything is very affordable. The food was not entirely to our taste, but it was well prepared, you get value for your money and the choice is wide. There is ample parking space in front of and behind the hotel. There are also many people who come alone to eat or drink, which improves the atmosphere. A bus stops close to the hotel for visits to Chester city centre. This is also easy to walk.

Meet up with some of my girly friends, i just like to say we had a lovely time catching up, the food and the wine was lovely. I had fish and chips was warm, the staff who served us was Wendy she is so lovely and warming. We all will be back soon. Thank you

Took the family for breakfast. It was amazing will definitely be going back. Wendy who served us was fantastic with us..

A great venue for good food at fair prices , Sunday Roast is definitely the winner on the menu, cleanliness and lovely atmosphere tope notch . Staff friendly and polite , would especially like to say thank you to Sophie [ fair girl with glasses ] who managed some very young children left to run loose in a caring professional manor and therefor stopped any accidents that were close and relayed this to the parents. Well done !! certainly will return again soon with friends and colleagues thank you .

The pub has a very friendly atmosphere. Until it was spoilt by children climbing on tables, and running across them, in the outside area. Especially after 2100 hrs at night. We expected a more relaxed atmosphere at this time of our visit.

Stopped off for lunch after shopping with friends ended up having the burger deal after Wendy suggested it great value for money will be back

We visited on Tuesday just for a meal 4 adults 2 kids. I just want to say how nice it was to be served and waited on by genuine friendly staff. You dont see alot of customer service about now but they all tried to help with useful information and friendly approach. Very good with the kids too. Food was cooked to perfection

Probably the best hungry horse/ Greene king I have visited. Staff attentive, very clean, check backs on food were done. Absolutely lovely service from the moment we walked in. Well done to the team. I’ll definitely be back. The pub itself was so clean and you could tell things were kept on top of.

Well what can I say another fantastic visit to the oaklands, rooms were lovely and spacious we stayed in room 9 a family suite and it was fantastic, but what makes this place special is the staff from check in they can't do enough to accommodate you and make you feel welcome always happy to help, even kept my little ones milk in the fridge while we stayed there so it didn't spoil. Food is delicious and reasonably priced and the beer garden is beautiful. Sorry didn't catch your name the lady who booked us in you are an angel ✨️ we will definitely be coming back again we really loved it here, and to the cleaning crew you were a joy always lovely and happy to help and you do a fantastic job. See you all soon kaylie and family x

Adam knows how to pour an alright pint 👌🏽 would deffo come again!

Kristen and the team are friendly and welcoming We see marine a lot and she us always so happy and friendly and us always willing to help and make my visit a pleasure

I enjoyed a lovely meal there on the evening of the 29th July......there was such a full plate I couldn't finish. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly which added to the experience. I highly recommend a visit.

Really helpfull staff they always help me Ginge Meg h Meg a

Great pub, all staff friendly. Customer service was amazing thank you to Elaine C. Will be coming again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had an amazing time at The Oaklands Pub! 🍻 A huge shoutout to Elaine and Meg and for their exceptional customer service—they made our visit truly special. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the drinks were top-notch. Highly recommend this pub to everyone! Cheers! 🍺

I came for lunch, Excellent service and friendly staff especially Megan A

Review for Jack Harris - what an absolute belter this lad is. Not only is he amazing at his job, he always goes out of his way to help and make us feel welcome. Nothing is too much trouble & his banter is next level. Always a pleasure to see and deal with Jack. Thanks for everything x

What can I say, this place is the best pub/restaurant in the whole Cheshire area. I want to give a special mention to the FOH staff (Sophie, Olivia, Meg and the two Elaine’s) who made me feel very comfortable and were very welcoming and had the highest standard in hospitality

Excellent food, great customer service especially from Adam

Flys in lights shades and one of the tvs in the family wasn't working

Stayed in the hotel and was very impressed with the service and conversation … the one person who stood out the most, and was a fountain of information of the area and what to do was Elaine c

Excellent outstanding service Friendly staff Elaine d a credit to you

Elaine d and Elaine c very welcoming and friendly Lovely food Excellent service

A good, secluded place with good beer and accommodation, I highly recommend it

I visited here a few days ago and was welcomed by ginge. He was such a great lad with great banter and even told me about all the deals they had going on there. Ginge went above and beyond making sure we were comfortable and that everything was ok for us whilst we visited the oaklands. We will definitely return again to this great establishment.

Elaine c , excellent service , always made to feel welcome

2nd stay at Oaklands and once again had a fantastic stay, friendly staff and new girl Sophie is a bundle of joy, always smiling and has a great raport with the customers, will definitely be returning, thanks again to all at Oaklands for a wonderful stay, Mark and Chrissy

Sophie was so pleasant and really welcoming great service

Good service friendly staff and food is good

Well , well, well, I came here on my way back home from Llangollen for my evening meal with Greene king/ Hungry horse. Very busy as I expected due to the England match and they said to me it was an hour wait for my meal as the pub was absolutely rammed. I would normally go elsewhere when this happens, but the wait would be the same wherever I would go with the England match happening, so I decided to stay and take the order on. I sat at the table outside as the weather was good, as it was the only 1 of 2 free tables when I ordered. The meal came around 10 to 15 mins after I ordered, which really surprised me due to how busy it was. That's more like the normal time for a steak and chip order so they might not had been much of those meals being made at the time as many of the people were drinking or eating different things to what I could see. Just want to say a big thank you for your help with this. As a long-term Greene king customer, this was the best service I've had so far when the pub was very busy. Defo visit again whenever I need to stop for a meal when passing or visiting the area. I've honestly been overjoyed by the service I had.

Good deals on food and drink, plenty of TVs for sports. Maisey was a wonderful waitress.

Staff were warm and friendly service with a smile good food at good rates, Amelia was amazing

Staff were great and the food was very nice. Will be going back

Booked a double room at the last minute ! It was clean …but the bed was a large single NOT a double and is squashed into the corner; there was not enough room to swing a cat. Good job we have a sense of humour. The photos shown were NOT representative of this room no 10 and the booking promised that breakfast is included but on arrival we were told that was not the case !!!

I had a lovely time at the restaurant and food was delicious. Me and my family was served by Maisey a very friendly waitress.

Nice pub with good grub. Nice staff behind the bar.

Great lovely place friendly staff

Nice and cosy hotel. Free parking. Nice bar.

Had an enjoyable meal with the family service was really nice thank you to Mazie for making us feel welcome.

Came in yesterday for lunch was served by Mazie she was very helpful and welcoming. The food came out very quickly and was very nice. Will definitely be back.

Popped into the Oaklands on my way home from work and was greeted with a warm smile from Emilia and mazie, fantastic service and extremely helpful, they are a credit to the place, keep up the good work
