The Pied Bull in Cheshire West and Chester

Overpriced, appetiser portion small. Quality average.

Stay only, on business. The whole of the city of s in walking distance. Pleasant, helpful staff. Comfortable rooms. Shower a bit odd but hot and it worked. What more could you want?

Lovely place to stay, right in the heart of the city.

Great Sunday roast. Really good food. Nice service.

Superb location and very good service

Good location, decent drinks and pleasant staff. A music quiz on Thursday is good fun. But unfortunately we were woken at about 5am to the sound of smashing glass as the rubbish was collected, twice Then at 630 the building shook as what sounded like beer kegs being loaded and unloaded We stayed in room 15 which is at the top and front of the building. Maybe a room further back of the property would solve the noise issues

Spent 2 nights celebrating our honeymoon. A beautiful hotel , great service , beautiful food & room was amazing

Another first class meal at the Pied Bull. Great atmosphere, wonderful beer garden, friendly staff and service.

Fabulous meal, at a relatively quiet midweek afternoon. service was great, and Chester is a beautiful place to visit. Lost a star for parking, as not unsurprisingly expensive! Park in Tesco Superstore and 7min walk through the Cathedral Park. Buy £15 worth of Tesco goods on your return to the car, and your parking is free ( just plan your weekly shop accordingly)!

Situated right in the heart of Chester, it was great to come back to the city after spending so long there for University. It's just as I remembered it, got a good choice of craft beer, good menu, good quality of food and friendly staff to accompany a cosy traditional pub atmosphere. Question though: why not provide your customers with full bottles of sauce, rather than miniature bowls that last your tomato sauce enthusiast daughter 2mins 😂 Other than that, please visit, it embodies what an English pub is and should be, and embodies what the Chester specific aesthetic pub is.

Lovely stay all staff very friendly excellent breakfast very clean thanks for a great time 🙂

Loved this little place. Charming old authentic pub with comfortable modernized rooms overhead. Right by the old town and city walls, friendly staff, good food and drink. Perfect.

Enjoyed a lunch at the Pied Bull on a recent day trip. A former coaching inn (and the oldest in Chester), its bar and dining areas are just what you'd expect in a pub with such a long history: dark wood panelling, oak beams, an original sandstone fireplace, and lots of atmosphere. There's a nice outside terrace at the back. Toilets are downstairs, accessible and clean. I found a table in the cosy dining area close to the bar. The staff were courteous and efficient, and I was served quickly. Beer is brewed on site, and there was also a good choice of wine, gin and other drinks. Had a glass of Merlot with my meal, and it was very good. They serve not only classic British pub food, such as steaks, burgers, and fish and chips, but also dishes with a more modern twist, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, and lighter meals too. I opted for the traditional homemade steak and ale pie, served on a bed of kale, with hand-cut chips and beef dripping gravy. The pie was hot and well cooked, with big lean chunks of beef and no gristle. Lovely chips, not greasy at all! Treated myself to an Eton Mess with morello cherries and chocolate sauce for afters, and it was scrumptious! The latte came with a little biscuit. The lunch wasn't cheap, but it was what you would expect to pay given the high quality of the food and the location right in the centre of Chester, conveniently close to the cathedral, city walls, and shops. Would definitely recommend!

I can't see why anyone would want to pay £5.80 for a pint in this pub as myself and friends did today. The surroundings are not unpleasant but the lack of punters, especially locals, speaks volumes. Total profiteering. I defy the owners to give me a breakdown of their costs per pint v the profit per pint they makem Avoid. Borderline theft.

Awful food. The chips looked, felt and tasted like they were the previous days leftovers re-fried, possibly even from the day before that! M partner had Steak which was okay, my son and I had the Hunters chicken, the cheese & bacon were etremely salty, I've had cheese and bacon all over the wold in my 59 years, from the US to China, from Nigeria to Poland.. this was the worst. My hunters chicken was seared on the outside but tender enough in the middle..but it was bland. My son couldnt finish his Hunter's chicken it looked like it had been in the ovens at Auschwitz. I finished it off and regretted it half an hour later...made me feel sick. Furthermore the staff on the whole were not very friendly. Don't eat here

Ultimo pranzo qui, per provare anche l’ultimo pub della vacanza. E godere ancora una volta della calda atmosfera di questi locali che ho imparato ad apprezzare. Il menù è vario. La cucina quella che è. Quasi nessun piatto vegano e preparazioni tipiche all’insegna delle calorie. Ma tant’è. La cucina è buona, il servizio veloce, le birre ottime. E l’ambiente stupendo. Con anche un piccolo cortiletto interno che si raggiunge dal corridoio del bagno. Sopra al pub anche un albergo che non ho visto. Bella esperienza

Stayed the night at the Pied Bull 20/4 Great location...Wonderful building Always a clean and well managed establishment..Stayed in room 14 overlooking the side street. Enjoyed their cellar brewed beer..always delicious. Previously Stayed at the Pied, sometimes the street noise can be annoying on a weekend...Eaten at the hotel previously always satisfied.

We stayed here over the Easter break and it was a lovely stay! We had a big bright room which the staff made extra special with prosecco and petals on the bed following our engagement earlier in the day! We didnt eat here but the good did look and smell great. We stayed in for the pub quiz and drinks which was great fun 🙂 Earlier checkout time than usual but we slept well and enjoyed our stay! Great centeral location too.

We spent our first night in the UK here, and it was great. Our room was tiny, but quaint and comfortable. Local beer is what we wanted and that's what we got. Dinner was a steak pie for me and a sausage dish for my husband. Both were delicious. Breakfast the next morning was a full English, and we didn't need to eat again until dinner time. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A wonderful olde world pub with luxurious accommodation. We stayed here overnight and it was a stay that did not disappoint. The staff were exemplary and gave excellent customer service. Room 19 was luxuriously appointed and extremely comfortable and quiet. We ate out at a local tapas bar on the evening but did have 2 deserts at the Pied Bull when we returned, which were excellent. We also sampled a very generous full English breakfast on the following morning, which was delicious and ample. I have no hesitation in recommending this venue in central Chester, there are several places to park nearby too. We will definitely return.

First of all we'd like to say the staff and bar area were fab. We were totally let down by our room. We stayed in room 22 on ground floor. The room.was small, but we could have coped with that except for the fact that there was no storage for clothes, unless you call a cupboard with 4 hangers storage space Then there was the fact that the heating was on and we were unable to switch it off. That's fine we thought we'd open the window. Then the realisation that the room backed onto some yard that was used as a smoking area, so we either had to put up with the heat, or the stench of stale cigarettes, weed and rubbish from the bins. Made for a great 3 nights Even better was the early morning wake up Monday morning when someone was moving the bins to, we assumed, empty them. But it was 6.20 so we got up breathed in the stench of stale smoke and made ourselves a cuppa. At least we thought we'd get a lie in the following day if the bins had been collected on the Monday We went about our day and returned to the pub so we could get changed to go for a meal we had booked only to find nobody had bothered doing the room. The bins hadn't been emptied the tea and coffee tray hadn't been replenished and what made it worse was that as we were changing we could hear someone cleaning the next room which was under renovation and not occupied. Maybe it would be a good idea to have a "Please make up room" sign for door. And a Do Not Disturb one whilst you are at it Anyway we had a fantastic meal, came back to room and crashed out for a well earned lay in .. we'll until 4.45am when the security lights in yard came on and the banging and crashing of the bins being moved again started We couldn't even make ourselves a cuppa as nobody had bothered with our room that day Chester you was fantastic and myself and my wife will return. But will certainly stay elsewhere... somewhere where you haven't got to choose between cigarettes and weed over staying cool and comfortable

Right in the centre of town, great location Lovely rooms too Great beers on tap and good food too

Lovely evening meal and overnight stay at the Pied Bull. Great atmosphere, the staff were friendly and the food was delicious!

Had a wonderful lunch here yesterday with family for my birthday. Excellent menu and service. Lovely peaceful atmospheric interior. Great real ales too!

Excellent pub very old and atmosphere

If there's one pub I know I'm going to visit on any trip to Chester I take its The Pied Bull Pub,been here before on many occasions over the years, always had a good time and so it proved on our latest visit to here. A great looking pub, a former coaching house and reputedly the oldest pub in Chester, interior is superb, dark wood features abound throughout this pub, exposed brickwork, a solid wood serving bar dominates the main room, pubby decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside in their beer garden out back ,its also a microbrewery with a great range of real ale's on offer,its just a really good pub to unwind in. My twin brother and I were here on a bitterly cold February afternoon, pub was busy with a great atmosphere, we had a study of their real ale's which I must say I was impressed with, in the end we both opted to have a pale ale each, these were served in pristine condition, we chilled out, warmed up and planned out the day ahead while sipping our pale ale's. My pale ale was really good, a crisp, well balanced pale ale, hints of toffee, a delicious aroma and aftertaste with a smooth finish, a classic British pale ale served in a classic British pub, its hardly surprising that this pub is so popular with real ale's of this quality. We both really enjoyed our pale ale's in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to The Pied Bull Pub we had a great time. The Pied Bull Pub is easy to locate along Northgate Street, a street and area teeming with pubs, bars, cafe's and restaurants and some amazing architecture and a major tourist destination. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, open from midday. A wonderful pub,one I highly recommend you visit if you're in the area or planning a trip to Chester.

On Northgate street there's an historic pub and hotel that offer's an excellent range of food and drinks and its own beers and first class accommodation.Dating from 1155'this ancient coaching inn is housed in a unique building that was called Bull's Mansion. The interior of the Pied Bull is amazing with many interesting fixture's and feature's like its Jacobean panelling and beams.There's a staircase that dates from 1535 and many more interesting item's throughout the pub and hotel's interior'far to many to put on a review of this size. This brilliant pub was one of the highlight's of our trip to Chester as it has an excellent brewery with superb beers.We visited here early in the afternoon and it was very busy which is the norm in here but we didn't wait to long to get served.When we visited here we had a good selection of there cask ales which were perfectly served and were very well priced. It's a superb pub and a very historic pub in a superb area of Chester that offer superb beers and good food and accommodation and its also a pub thats reputably haunted which adds a bit of spice to the Pied Bull.If your ever in Chester give this pub a try you won't be disappointed. (This is my 2nd review of the Pied Bull). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-10.00-23.00. Friday-Saturday-10.00-00.00. Sunday-10.00-23.00.

We stayed in room 26 supposedly a superior double, it was very small. Bed squeaked, walls were so thin we could hear everything from next room including snoring all night. Very noisy from outside.so disappointed as rooms looked stunning on website

Another great Sunday lunch experience. Can't fault it

Nice pub with great atmosphere (Friday afternoon)

Called in for a quick pint whilst visiting Chester. Although quiet, due to it being late afternoon the atmosphere was great. The place exudes style and quality. The staff were so welcoming. They were knowledgeable about the beers and only too willing to provide tasters. I will be calling again.

Fabulous staff, great food, ideal location.

The rooms look huge on the photos ( used wide angle lens to take the photos) superior is not as it’s stated. Rooms are tiny, walls are incredibly thin. We could hear next doors tv and snoring all night. Room was also very cold. Food breakfast was ok maybe more variety if you didn’t want a full English then options were cereal or hot sandwich. I would not pay £16 for a bacon sandwich. Staff were very friendly and helpful and location is good

Only went for drinks but a good selection of ales & lagers. Good atmosphere, great pub.

Typical pub room. The location and overall services were great. Defintely recommend.

The hotel is in a really good position for all shops bars and the Christmas market. However the rooms that are advertised on booking.com are anything like the photographs, we booked a superior room and it was worse than what a normal double room looks like, we had room 26 which is at the front, it was also very noisy, it was like sleeping in a tent, the walls and windows did not keep out any noise at all. I think it is really unfair to be advertising something that you don’t get.

I expected more even for £212 with breakfast , we had a double room I think which was clean but it had a small iron bed which wasn't the most comfortable, the location of the room was over an alleyway which was incredibly noisy even up to 3.30 in the morning and some guest fell into the fire alarm which wasn't great , I was really looking forward to my stay but left disappointed I really wanted to love it

Visited the Pied Bull today with my Mum for a spot of lunch admist the bustle of Christmas and I'm so glad we came. We arrived early and chanced our arm we could get a table and Kerry was very accommodating. We enjoyed a lovely shandy and spritzer, the Social Bull Platter was wonderful. We also had the black pudding bon bons which were sooo good. We just had the loveliest time. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, Kerry chatted to us a little about the fact I'd said I have an allergy so she'd clearly taken the time to be careful around it for which I'm very grateful. The decorations and how cosy it was just topped it off. All in all a 10/10 visit. We'll be back!

Nice and spacious pub to have a meal. Staff was friendly and kind.

What a great little hotel. Claims to be oldest coaching house in chester and can easily belive it in the beamed bar. Room was modern clean and comfortable. Lovely breakfast and evening meal. Great beer brewed on site. Never heard a thing from the pub after we went to bed. Yes a bit of street noise, but its a town centre site so to be expected. Would deffinatly stay again.

On our way home we decided to stop for food and chose this awesome establishment. The building dates back to the 16th Century and has heaps of character, there is a hotel and brewery all on site. The food was amazing and the staff were friendly and really helpful. Don't miss the chance to visit if you're in Chester .

Went to the Pied Bull at about 16:30, the pub was very busy and took a while to be served. Me and my wife ordered the rump steak panini when it arrived, the coleslaw wasn’t good & looked like an ice cream scoop had been used to serve it. The steak wasn’t too bad a bit too much chutney which overpowered the steak. Very disappointed, didn’t complain as the bar was too busy.

Excellent little hotel …great location and lovely welcoming staff. Nice cosy bar area with a great selection of food and drinks. Our bedroom was lovely as well very cosy and the bathroom was nice too will definitely stay again thank you 😊

Lovely, traditional pub with its own micro brewery. We were celebrating my Graduation at Chester Cathedral and enjoyed a range of drinks, including hot beverages and alcoholic and non-alcoholic choices from the bar. Great service and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

A wonderful historic coaching inn and a great night accommodation and breakfast. Comfortable bed, clean room and excellent bathroom. In the city centre everything is near and a perfect choice. Lovely helpful and friendly staff.

Called in here for for a family lunch, 2 kids meals, 3 adults meals and one starter, at £88.00 I thought this was a bit on the expensive side for what we got, food was mediocre and warm, belly pork was disappointing as the crackling was a soggy sponge, surely the whole point of a piece of belly pork is the amazing crackling that can be had, and please drain the vegetables thoroughly before plating up, portion sizes were disappointingly small for 2 of us, oddly one of the kids meals was huge by comparison, all in all I would never eat here again, good onion rings though.

Fabulous for a quick break away

Beautiful old pub! Just like chester it's full of history, and the chester lager is stunning 😍

Called in early (before noon) for a drink and decided to stay for lunch. Enjoyed the steak burger with a salad instead of fries. Also the fish and chips looked very good, that someone else had. I have not stayed here overnight but it does have some rooms available.

Expensive for drinks compared to nearby establishments.

The Pied Bull in Chester, England was a great stay. Very charming and full of character. Slightly wonky floors and stairs (they have a sign to warn people but I didn’t notice right away) but the most incredible room above a pub that served such delicious food. Check in but a bit impersonal and quick but still very efficient. Great bar and wait staff, incredible location near to everything: the neighbourhood bakery, Starbucks, Pret A Manger, the cathedral, Boots, and the main shopping street. Would definitely stay again. No question. 9/10

Amazing traditional hotel and pub in the heart of Chester, great choice of drinks and food, the room is lovely, clean and well presented

Lovely cosy pub. On observation the food looks delicious, we popped in for a drink after walking the canal. A good selection of beer, brewed on site. I would recommend the porter. There is the usual branded beers, lagers and ciders too.

Good selection of real ales reasonable priced food

Not the first time I've been there & never changed, prices ridiculous about £5 a pint, everywhere else about £3

Unfortunately we didn’t actually get there but were charged £165 for the night anyway. We were due to stay for our anniversary but my husband’s mum was moved to end of life care so had to cancel. Sadly for us, we missed the 48 hour notice by 2 hours - we phoned as soon as we knew but our request to move the booking was flatly refused and we were told we would be charged regardless, which we were. My mother-in-law passed away shortly afterwards and I can honestly say, the lack of compassion, understanding and flexibility was astounding. We go to Chester every year for our anniversary but won’t ever book here again. I understand that business is business but under circumstances like this, there really is no excuse for such a heartless way to run it. One star because I had to to enable the review to be submitted.

Just had a drink. Old pub. Expensive. Music is too loud.

Only had food here. The food was ok but very basic .. I had Hunters chicken with jacket potato .. I can't understand why, as a business, they can't add a small side salad or some veg to pretty the dish up Husband and the steak and ale pie and the "buttered veg" was about 4 green beans, so it was a bit of a letdown for the food .. flavours were nice but wouldn't go back for food in there again .. we like the pub itself, service is always warm & welcoming and wouldn't hesitate to call in for a drink .. It's especially lovely Christmas time in there if you're ever there for the Christmas markets.

Beautiful little restaurant, a must stop if you are pub hopping.

Food was amazing and a really nice atmosphere .

We visited The Pied Bull last week after hearing good things about their menu and were not disappointed - staff were attentive, the food delicious and the venue full of character. We chose the Loaded Nachos, to share, as a starter. It was very reasonably priced and packed full of flavour with just the right amount of 'kick'. My wife chose the sweet potato and chickpea curry for her main whilst I had the Rump Steak. The curry had plenty of sweet potato chunks in (something other places seem to scrimp on) and my steak was cooked to perfection - I could have eaten it twice over! Would highly recommend a visit.

Just had drinks but very nice pub, nice beer garden

Wonderful traditional pub. Good selection of tasty beers. Some brewed on-site. Food is really good also. Nice beer garden outside. Dogs welcome.

Whilst the location was good this hotel was very poor. We upgraded to a premier room which was very below standard. The shower was ok but we were only given two small bath towels, no hand towels. The toiletries were minimal to say the least and the toilet tissue was so thin…….. the room itself was very sparse with nowhere to put your case and no drawer space. Now to the bed! This was a metal framed bed with a sheet of plywood as the base to put the mattress on. The mattress itself was lumpy and most uncomfortable. As for the bedding the duvet and pillows had seen better days and were certainly not hotel grade standards! After a very bad nights sleep we ventured to breakfast to find very little choice. Basically it was a full English with tea/coffee a very small selection of cereals and long life orange juice. Overall it was a shambles! Everything was cheap and tatty, certainly not worth the £159 we paid for a night there Won’t be going back!

It's my favourite place in Chester. Stayed several times, always in the old pub part. It's such a historic building with so much history. However the rooms are so modern, stylish and comfortable. Breakfast is always welcome after a night out in Chester and never disappoints.

Very good place to stay. Downstairs pub for breakfast and a crisp pint in the evening after a long day. Room was nice and clean with new furniture and bathroom. Bed was firm enough. Disadvantage was thin walls, if you have a couple arguing next door when you are trying to sleep, it is annoying to hear. Overall it was good and I would come back.

Great venue, excellent beers and food.

Went on the micro brewery tour. Very informative hour, during which the different ingredients and processes were explained by Richard the brewer. His passion and enthusiasm for his job really came through.Not being a beer drinker I was unsure if I would enjoy it but I did. We were given 3 different brews to try afterwards. Met a lovely couple who were on the tour with us. All in all, a very good experience.

Well located in the centre of Chester. Overnight car parking easy at Linenhall car park approx 5 min walk. Staff were very helpful, especially the breakfast staff (full English breakfast was superb!)

We didn't stay here, but had a lovely meal here on Sunday 😋 and would highly recommend this establishment.

nice pub in centre of Chester, decent selection of beers at a good price. minotaur dark ipa was lovely would go back again. food looked good, but didn't try it

Stayed in this lovely historic pub many times. Cannot fault the rooms. ( some rooms very noisy, but its slap bang in the middle of a city) stairs like north face of the Iger!! Pick a lower floor room, but you will have to put up with the noise. Beer good, although last time a pint had gone off. Good enough choice. Pub great inside. Food- had a three course meal here, food was good not anymore. Starter stone cold cheese croquettes zero taste. Main- fish & chips, small portions all frozen food straight out the deep freeze. No option of cod, just cheaper variant. Just about warm. Tasteless. Even the lemon slice was small. Desert- lemon tart, small little filling ,again tasteless. Service quick. Be honest, it’s a fancy pub menu designed to sucker in passers by!! With fancy prices for poor quality food. Bellow school dinner quality. A pricy mistake I won’t make again. Needs a radical change. Staff don’t have the confidence to ask if any of the meal was good or not. I see why! Very disappointed ☹️ Will be amazed if get any feedback on this platform, as they don’t seem to think the customer is important enough to respond to reviews.

Absolutely the WORST NIGHTS SLEEP I've ever ever had, felt like my ceiling was going to come in from the elephant who was staying above me, obviously weak floorboards in an ageing hotel, he decided to prance around at 6am, we were woke at 7am by someone on the restaurant who was only able to communicate via shouting his every word, I think this was a member of staff though I'm unsure, would've been a nice night in a lovely old building if not for those issues, we went home for a good sleep, left our key at reception as there was NO ONE AROUND AT ALL, shame on you, this review could have been slightly better !!!!!

Walking through Chester looking for somewhere where there was empty tables for 2 & a toddler whilst having the space for the pram we stumbled on here. Staff was very friendly, the manager offering to help carry the pram up the steps and the girl behind the bar equally happy and friendly. The food was served quickly and was tasty. Would recommend

Stayed here for one night. In one of their cottage rooms. Which isn't above the pub. But down the side on a pretty quiet road. Room was lovely with all you need.comfy bed. Tv. Tea making facilities. Hairdryer and a lovely big shower . Had a meal in the pub which was nice. Had breakfast next day and couldn't fault it. Good quality produce .

Excellent pub food, very large portions in a lovely old building. Not too busy and they have their own brewery. Thoroughly worth a visit when in Chester.

Bartenders were friendly and the atmosphere was cozy. Only concern was the price, two pints cost us almost £13 so I couldn't imagine spending much time there.

Very close to the centre of Chester, but my room is nice and quiet. Lovely atmosphere, staff very efficient and friendly, I'm having a lovely stay so far!

Just call for a drink lovely sitting outside staff very friendly

The home cooked food was lovely. Bar staff very good. Lovely old building

Typical city pub. Nice. Good menu, great food

Really beautiful hotel and pub. The atmosphere of the pub was nice, and the amaretto sours were yummy. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

Had a lovely short stay at The Pied Bull; rooms are above what you'd expect in an 800 y/o building, with excellent showers etc. Staff are wonderful and accomodating. The food is a little pricey, but beautifully prepared and presented. We would strongly recommend The Pied Bull, just don't expect to park nearby!

Our room was very dated and therefore did not feel particularly clean. The bathroom was fine but the bed itself was appalling - a flimsy metal frame topped with a most uncomfortable flimsy mattres. The food was clearly all reheated from frozen despite the fancy-sounding and limited menu albeit it was very well presented. Breakfast was very minimalist with a very poor selection of cereals, no fruit, no choice of milks, long life orange juice and reheated ingredients. We were told one morning that we couldn’t have a poached egg because there was “something wrong with the pan” and we would have to wait 20 minutes - presumably whilst the bought-in poached eggs defrosted. Towels were too small and only one hand-towel was provided for two people. Toiletries were not replenished daily despite them having been used and one day we were left without one of our towels. The home-brewed beer was excellent. Staff were all polite and helpful. This place is overpriced at almost £150 per night for a standard double including breakfast.

Great pub with really nice beer garden Good selection of beers, wines and spirits Great food too Never stayed here so can’t say about the rooms

Called in for Sunday lunch, not to busy, food very nice 😋

Not stayed but had food and drinks. Steak pie for myself. Had to send green beans back as microwaved to long and was not able to bite through them, second lot was good. Pie was nice but small, also hotter on one side than other, clearly microwaved. Chips very good. Partner had hunters chicken, again microwaved but chips good. Not full chicken breast. Chose this place as it was offering quality over others nearby but sadly hardly better than sizzler pub chain with a big mark up on price. Definitely avoid and find something else.

Great place to visit atmosphere was good.. beer even better .. made to feel welcome

Great historic pub in the town center of Chester. They do their own ales and even brew their own lager - the ones I tried were nice. Good selection. Some classic pub food options available - more of a well done classic Pub than a gastro pub. The food is nice, without having to stick bananas and wasabi in the tartar sauce. Good pub food done well, not pretending to be anything it isn't. Simple kids menu with good options - kids quite happy. Folks working there are really nice and friendly, and genuinely appear to enjoy being there. Overall a good dinner in a good atmosphere.

Booked at the last minute, got a great rate on a double room in the coach house at the back of the pub (booked direct). The room was lovely and clean, had everything we needed, good shower, ironing board and iron, hairdryer, tea and coffee. Nicely decorated. Great location right near the market and town hall. Staff were lovely and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

The food was good. Really enjoyed the fish and mushy pea butty with chunky chips and coleslaw.

Quality pub, massve character, great beer and food. A bit noisy at night, but worth it for central location.

Fantastic location, quite dispite being central. Had a nice fish and chips here too

Beer tasting experience. Head brewer Richard was very knowledgeable and clearly talented in his field as the beers were all excellent.

I had the worst steak ciabatta I have ever had 98%gristle2%fT. I was told that it was because I asked for the steak well done !

didn't eat or stay at the pied bull but enjoyed our visit for drinks at the newly refurbished pied bull last Saturday. would certainly consider staying overnight next time we are in chester

Nice place in the middle of town. Clean rom. And not to exspensive.

Manager was unhelpful rude not interested. We booked on Groupon voucher . We couldn't find it on line and no help. At all just said your name hear no payment so if you not got it you have to pay again . Understandable. My hubby could not get a signal from phone so had to go out side in the rain after about , 25mins we got the code it was our , Ist anniversary present for my hubby and told manager we got it no sorry or smile . The staff lovely and Richard the brew master was fab. After his chat and explained how he made the beer . We had , taste tasting . With other people .who said the manager was a grumpy won't be coming here again sorry for the staff

Great place for relaxing drink and meal friendly place

A really nice pub inside. The steak pie and the pork chop were delicious - finished off with a decent pint of local beer! 👌
