The Piper in Cheshire West and Chester

Came for a pint and a snack. The calamari waa cooked excellently and the chicken wings were well cooked and tasty. Great selection of drinks.

Terrible service asked if food was served at 7.55pm and said yes would you like a tab went to order at 8.05pm told that food isn’t available now as kitchen shuts at 8pm on a Saturday evening… absolutely shocking

Lovely pub on the outskirts of Chester. Good atmosphere, excellent staff and delicious food.

Lovely food and really friendly atmosphere, staff couldn’t be more helpful. Kids loved the food too

Amazing atmosphere and even better service, the manager Alan treated me and my family wonderfully! We’ll definitely be making weekly trips here from now on. Nice selection of beers too, something for everyone.

Went for dinner on the new menu, We both enjoyed our meals, Service was good and the young girls working were friendly , The new managers seem to be doing a good job , atmosphere was good, very friendly pub , Outside the pub had been cleaned up and was looking clean & tidy , Will return again to try the Sunday roast which I believe is the best around,

Just wanted to write to say a big thank you to the two gents working on Wednesday 28th Feb- our social group for disabled adults had a booking fall through at another pub so we called the Piper who got us in very last minute. The assistant manager and barman couldn't do enough for us despite being very busy and not expecting to accommodate such a large group on the night. Food was great, nice atmosphere and again, really helpful staff. Thanks so much, we will definitely head back here.

Came here for Sunday lunch with family. Absolutely amazing Sunday lunch. Very big portions and piping hot. Staff where so friendly and attentive,I think their names where talulah and yasim. The manageress was friendly and smiley and obviously had a great rapour with locals. Would definatley recommend. 5 stars guys

2nd time eating here , came to try the Sunday roast , meal was good came out hot , Husband had the beef roast dinner but we could not understand why he had crispy seaweed on the top of it , never had that with a Sunday roast before , and there was plenty of stalks in his meal , obviously from the rosemary , don’t get me wrong he cleared the plate as you can see by the photo , maybe they had no veg left , as the afternoon went by they ran out of Pinot then no gas for soda water so don’t know what was going on with stock , also we went to have a nice meal but didn’t realise football would be on every tv in the pub , even though they have a sports bar area for that , we sat by the window with two TVs above us , when the footie started it was too loud we ended up moving tables , no need for sound on every tv , it was coming from everywhere, maybe turn sound off in the dining area , if they are supporters there is the bar for that . , we would come again as staff were friendly enough and meals were very nice ,

This is the best place I've been in a long time,since I'm vegatarian I got the halloumi fish and chips it was lovely would go back again

We came in for Sunday lunch and although the food was nice we waited for atleast 10 minutes for our 3rd meal to come out after our first 2 had arrived at our table, staff didn’t seem very interested in being at work which made us feel very uncomfortable, female manager was very rude!!

In our view, the best Sunday roast around, ! Everything was excellent and plentiful. Staff were friendly & helpful. Our second time & we will be back.

Good friendly service and nice enough pub, for me the food was the worst pub food I've ever tasted unfortunately.

Pie and mash was excellent, just what I needed to help with my hangover. Staff where very welcoming. Prices are cheaper then chester prices

Gary and talula. Thanks for an amazing experience. Everything was 5 star 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟.

1st time visit. Meeting the kids and grandkids for a spot of lunch. Management and staff bent over backwards to make our visit an excellent time. Food was amazing and the whole ambiance was just perfect! We hope to come back soon for a couples evening meal and chill. Lovely place. Thank you to gary and tallula for am amazing afternoon. 👏 5+ star rated!

Popped in the piper on the way back from Chester , From the outside plenty of parking , also 2 electric car charges which is a bonus . For 1.30pm Friday afternoon was quiet , was told by the bar lad to take a seat & come up to the bar to order , no problem , The food came out hot which I would expect as nobody else was eating , looked abit bland on the plate , abit of side salad would have made the difference, but must say both myself and my husband enjoyed our lunch, would call in again next time we are passing maybe try the main menu next time .

Great deal £11.95 for 2 courses. Nice beer, quick service and lots of space. A refreshingly honest pub that gets the important things right. Superb crumble

Very friendly, clean and pleasant inside with a added bonus of a fast charger in the carpark

Had a meal here with parents on a Wedensday in the afternoon,very welcoming, great service, tasty food and hot drinks.

Good local pub with pleasant and friendly bar staff.Serves Heineken zero on tap amongst many other beers.A good place to watch sport and has a very extensive food menu.A very nice pub.

Yep not much to complain about here. Decent food at a fair price.

Great for charging the car at the charging station in the car park and popping in for a coffee and snack

5 person party for Christmas Dinner! Lovely staff nice atmosphere and dinner was fantastic ! Would highly recommend

Nice quiet homely pub. Does have bands on sometimes. Pool table. Wheelchair access.. decent staff.. drinks are reasonably priced. Food is nice.. parking for free

Service was shocking. Food was ok. Over half an hour for a kids brownie

Food was so lovely definitely be going again

Lovely meal with my niece and her partner. A long time since had visited. The pub has one through a lot of owners in recent years. Delighted to say the present landlord, who has been there 8 months, is doing a good job. Recommend for a midweek pub meal.

It's a great family pub, with pub food as expected. The atmosphere is really good and staff are extremely friendly. There are a small selection of kids games and lots of music. We feel comfortable bringing a 2 1/4 year old.

Great place lovely sausage and mash will be back for more just moved in nearby

Our Sunday lunch at The Piper was truly excellent, a rare find. For starters, our party of four had the mozzerella cheese sticks, breaded prawns, and the stilton & garlic mushrooms. The breading on the cheese sticks and prawns was crispy, well-seasoned, and deliciously craggly. All three were excellent. For mains, three of us had the Sunday roast, and one of us the halloumi 'fish' & and chips. As with the starters, the halloumi was deliciously breaded, the chips lovely and crispy, and all of it was generously portioned. But for me, the roasts were the absolute star of the dinner: the beef (pictured) was tender, being a slightly pink medium doneness (I would have preferred slightly rarer, but that is personal taste); the potatoes & parsnips were nicely seasoned and the cabbage & leek was excellent; and the chef even added some beautifully crispy deep-fried kale (it could have been seaweed?) as an inspired umami kick throughout the dish, which complimented the gravy, mash, & crispy yorkshires very nicely. Two of also bought three pigs in blankets each as extras, for £3.50. It was honestly one of the nicest roasts I've had the pleasure of enjoying. For desserts (pictured), we had a vegan cherry sundae (made from delicious coconut ice 'cream'), and the chocolate fudge cake with ice cream. Both were very nice and well portioned. Four of us spent just over £100 including soft drinks and the roasts' add-ons, which felt very reasonable considering the quality of the food. Can't wait to return to The Piper for more!

Nice meal at about 3:30 in the afternoon 👍

This place is absolutely terrible, staff are unhelpful and unfriendly. you walk in and the younger girl with blondish hair just stared are at us. the place is riddled with heath code violations such as uneven tables, and ants everywhere. We waited over 50 minutes for a jug of water before the older waitress with auben hair very rudely told us to leave after telling us were not 18 despite having valid identification and only wanting to get lunch. Its also horrifically overprices for the frozen food they serve do yourselves a favour and dont come here.

Our middle son and his family turned up unexpectedly this Sunday and so we decided to go out locally for Sunday lunch. Being such short notice all our usual haunts were fully booked and we didn’t want to go into Chester itself. The only place we could find locally for a traditional Sunday roast was the Piper. Our past experience of the Piper as a pub rather than a restaurant over the last 40 years we have lived in the area was not good. However we’ve noticed it’s been refurbished relatively recently so we decide to risk it. Glad we did. The roast was really excellent, well cooked, good quality tasty ingredients with an unbelievable amount of different vegetables. The prawn and wings starters were good as well. The staff were good efficient and friendly the refurb has also made for a comfortable environment. Value is good too. It’s a four not a five for two issues. One my wife who had the steak pie liked the pastry but thought it should have had more steak. Two the billing doesn’t allow you to put tips on the card, you can only give cash tips. The management needs to sort this fit the benefit of their excellent staff because most people don’t carry much cash with them these days. The Piper should have been full today like all the other local traditional restaurants around here. The fact it wasn’t was our luck. This restaurant certainly on the basis of its Sunday Lunch offering deserves support. In this day and age if you don’t use it you lose it and I think the Piper deserves a better fate.

I last visited The Piper Pub just before Covid. Declared "never again". I heard the management and chef had changed so thought I'd give it another chance. The outside area could do with a spruce up, hence the only 3 stars but the scampi, chips and mushy pears was delicious, the best I've had in a very long time. I give that 10/10

Great place to meet family and friends xxx

Went to this pub for lunch. Been before had lovely meals (Sunday lunches ) large portions cooked well really enjoyed. But Sunday the 1/10/23 we went very small portions one was very over cooked look like it had been microwaved red hot no gravy as it had dried up on plate. No veg but one did no roast but two did one was duel meat this was two small bits of chicken and a small piece of beef. No cutlery on table The floor had food on. And wet through this place as gone right down in my estimation and we will not be using it again

We booked a table in advance for 4 adults and brought 2 dogs with us, and on arrival Lisa and her team made us feel very welcome. After giving us a table, the dogs were given a bowl of water and a few little treats which was very thoughtful, and we then enjoyed a fabulous dinner. We had 2 bistro steaks (one of the best steaks we’ve ever had), the Indian curry served on a large naan bread (delicious), and the gammon (beautifully cooked and served). The puddings were sheer heaven. We were on a visit from mid-Wales and if we return to the area we will most definitely return the The Piper - a real find!

Real proper famiy friendly local pub Very nice and relaxing Except one thing: salty food Definiteloy will go baccj though as got nice staff

Absolutely incredible Sunday roast. My partner and I both had the roast beef. Large portions, well cooked, excellent service.

Piper was a good local pub for years then it just lost its way for a few years ,but now I really think it's one of the best in the area keep it up love it

A decent local pub with food, only went in for too play pool was pleasantly surprised at decor atmosphere and there was an open Mic night would recommend

Not been here for years. Called in for a quick pint while waiting for my lift. Large pub, with plenty of tables, inside and out, sport on the TV. They serve food but didn't have time to eat, but looked a good varied menu, will try when I come back and have more time.

Dropped in for lunch. This pub is so much better than previous with now new owners. lovely food and quick service.staff very friendly- a world away from the old place - well done to the new owners we will be back!

Headed here after a holiday in North Wales. Made a beeline because it had two rapid electric car chargers and I knew we'd be arriving at lunch time and kids would be hungry. Very glad we did! Not only were the chargers in fine working...

Headed here after a holiday in North Wales. Made a beeline because it had two rapid electric car chargers and I knew we'd be arriving at lunch time and kids would be hungry. Very glad we did! Not only were the chargers in fine working order but the server could not have been more helpful and more courteous to our kids and ourselves. Fantastic service. The food, also, was hearty and delicious. Sunday roasts and a couple of puds - all cooked to perfection. Just a real gem of a pub and if you want an hour long break on your journey up the M6 this is a great option, especially if you have an EV to top up.

We had my father in laws wake at the pub and Suzanne, Gary and the team took great care of us. The buffet was lovely and every dietary requirements were catered for and the choice of food was top notch. We would definitely recomend them.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with family and friends. The staff were excellent

I always like to frequent this establishment when I am in Chester visiting relatives. My niece who has additional access requirements and a particularly picky palette is always treated well. Good value, friendly and attentive staff with a decent food menu. Love the Sunday Dinner...

Arrived and no one had looked at our booking so table wasn’t ready so had to wait with elderly people. The one member of staff that seemed to be running the place seemed moody and wasn’t pleasant at all. Watched us assisted 5 elderly people up the large step to the main entrance but didn’t inform us of the disabled access which would of been easier. Just poor in general.

We had our wake for our beloved George here today. It was one of his favourite places, two unassuming 80 year old men drinking a quie pint in the corner. It was very emotional but the team at The Piper did us, and George, proud. A 5* spread from a team that obviously cares. Thankyou, it means so much xx regardless of the type of event I would recommend The Piper, they are professional, caring, attentive to details and well organised.

Absolutely lovely people and my food was lovely very friendly management make you so.welcome Suzanne and Gary are ace and chef is top notch also waiting on staff and lisa highly recommended

Couldn't fault this place. Great, friendly staff. Family friendly, great menu, well priced, really tasty food. Thanks.

Unwelcoming staff. Place almost empty. (Ok, it was early, but you would think that would think that would make you more welcome.) Asked for a wine list, but the bar guy didn't know whether they had one. The food was expensive and the menus were...

Went 25th June 2023. Noticed a board outside saying best roast in Chester so wanted to give it a try. The Chicken wasn't roasted and had been pan fried. All vegetables served had that taste like they were frozen. Really lacked favour. Yorkshire pudding was...

Took the two kids fathers day and had a great experience, staff were amazing with the kids (4 + 6), first time eating there since the new guys took over, food was great, kids menu had ran out of their popular dish but second choice still worked well, thanks for an enjoyable experience.

Nice friendly bar lady offering efficient service. Me and my work colleagues have been there a few times and the food was always good. Drank lots there and prices are reasonable with a nice outside seating area and pool table inside.

Stopped to charge the car and Sat outside, good service

We came here because of electric car charging, but due to good reviews, I gave it a try. Food is very nice with reasonable price, service is prompt and friendly. We tried 2 types of fish and chips. Although both are good, but I recommend Halloumi fish and chips. Cajun fried chicken burger is good too. Yes, the toilet is clean too. Overall good stop and excellent food.

After a bad experience with the last owners last year , we thought we would try again .. sadly the food wasn't up to scratch , I ordered steak pie , but when it came out it was just like a cheap frozen meal ,...

Had a roast chicken dinner my chicken still looked under cooked in places veg was hard the only thing I enjoyed was the roast potatoes

I found myself and partner in Cheshire for a family event. We arrived late evening and saw a pub with a car park, it also had a car electric charging area which I have not seen before in local pubs. The pub is in Hoole Chester , and from walking in the front door it was a great experience. I am used to gastro pubs and other public houses all over London and Surrey I found this pub beats any other establishment hands down The welcome from staff was great amd very friendly, it made you feel that your choosing to eat at The Piper was the fulfilment of the operators dreams. I was taken care of by bar staff from my first interaction with them. I ordered food for two, my partner chose Hunters Chicken , and I had a Bacon Burger, I have to say it was timely, hot and amazing food, the best Burger I have enjoyed since a very expensive trip to Culloden house, where an award winning Chef, handmade me a Burger. I was told the Piper was recently under new managment, and had been remodelled. They have clearly spared no expense when making the changes and upgrading the facilities. If your local, or even passing through the area, you will be pleasently surprised by the amazing establishment. Treat yourself amd family, there is also live music at weekends. Support this buisness if you wish to keep the local area alive, for good food beer and entertainment. Ken Muir Bsc hons

Good pub grub, reasonable price.

So much better since the new owners took over. We went previously (under the prior ownership) and it was terrible. So much so we decided we wouldn't ever go for food again. However, we found out that the pub is now under new ownership so...

Wonderful food today @ The Piper! Great service and the outside is looking lovely 😊 Thank you

Nice modern pub where we had coffee while the car was recharged.

New owners are a welcome breath of fresh air Highly recommended 5/5 all round !

I was told if you can't say anything nice about something, don't say anything at all so unfortunately there is nothing nice to say only after ordering our meal and making a complaint I got my money back. Nothing more to say but will never repeat never going back which is a shame its a nice pub in a ok setting.

The Piper pub ,is a dog friendly place. Serves good food too.i would recommend this place.

New owners. Liverpool flags all across bar ? Went in to watch man utd Vs Liverpool and it was a huge mistake. It was bad enough utd got slaughtered but a very loud gobby women was making a seen and swearing when kids where present (massive no no ) not one bar staff came over to say anything which resulted in me having to tell her and guy she was mouthing off at to show some respect as theres children here and they need to grow up it's a football match. Going back to first comment I don't believe a bar should be hanging flags up supporting anu team as it's not very welcoming to others fans . Obviously no problems them supporting Liverpool but just maybe keep it to themselves

Getting better but still room for improvement. Drab interior. Food average pub chain offering. If done right, it could be a goldmine.

Amazing pub .... its gone back up to how it use to be, food was amazing, had the ribs and the southern fried chicken burger and they were out of this world! Recommending to all my friends, the waitress couldn't have been more accommodating.

Horrible pub with awful owners. I was in there this week and the owners had left 1 bar staff on the bar who asked to go home as she wasn’t well she received a nasty response with the owner slamming a chair and embarrassing her infront of customers. Customer service here is terrible. I’ll never be going back in and would recommend avoiding this place like the plague.

We had a good time today friendly staff food was good thanks to everyone

New Landlord is bringing this pub back to life. Great atmosphere, lots of plans for quiz night, singers and of course, live football. Give it a try!

Very quick service and excellent choice of food .The staff were good and got on well with customers.Dog friendly and doggy treats as well

The worst experience possible. Bought a drink. Sat down. Both perused the menu for 10 minutes. Waitress came over..... "We don't have enough food to serve you. There's a party of 8 in and we only have enough for them. If you like, you can...

Ace! Called on route and they couldn't have been more helpful! No food on a Monday... but they cooked especially for us!

No chef, one was due in but staff could not advise when he would arrive! Had walked to have our tea !! Thought we’d support a local business but sadly do not deserve our custom. Lacking in customer service, no atmosphere & very few customers!!

Had a night out in town, the piper was the last pub we visited before home, I begged to squeeze it in simply because I love the drinks they have on draught and the atmosphere in the pub. Had a great night played some pool...

Chose this place because of the charging station in the car park and it was on our way home. We had a lovely meal here which filled us up They allowed dogs into premises which was nice because I didn't want to leave them in the car , The staff were friendly and helpful but a little short staffed on this day We'll probably use The piper again when we are in the area.

I was there just before new year celebrating my birthday and l must say l can't fault the place. The food and wine were excellent. What impressed my party and l most was the treatment we received from the landlord/chef and his wife.They were both very friendly and courteous as was the waitress. When they found out it was my birthday they brought me a complimentary slice of cake and sang happy birthday. I've heard their sunday lunches are excellent so l'll be back for one of those. Excellent all round

Wonderful staff, relaxed atmosphere. Top food and brilliant ale. I'd rate this place highly

Today we called for a Sunday roast for 2. There wasn't a menu with price available. Tracy- landlady came over to us, very friendly and took our order. Suggested extras such as cauli cheese, roast pots, Yorke pud, pigs in blankets, We said yes to all. Had a pint of coke and pint of fizzy orange. The meal arrived by a young girl, who placed on table. She went back for gravy. As she walked away- I called her back asking where the pigs on blankets were. 10mins later 6 tiny pigs arrived. I cut into my Yorke and it was cold underneath. We were expecting the " extra roasters & cauli cheese "to appear- they didnt. Therefore, we had 4 small aunt Bessie roasters, 1 spoon of peas, the cauli cheese was a pudding spoon amount. The meat was nice ( beef). No one came to ask if everything was OK. When I went to pay, I was shocked to see the bill of £48. I questioned this and said I didn't have the cauli cheese. Then I had a breakdown of the " extras" £3.50 x2 for pigs in blankets £2.95 x 2 for a spoon of cauli cheese £2.95 x 2 for what I would think 3 extra roasters each. Meat and probably 2 roasters was £11.95 each. I had £2.95 taken off the amount as I didn't get cauli cheese. I am so shocked at these prices, as with the " extras" it was only a standard size meal. I didn't want to cause a scene but feel very ripped off. Disappointed customer THIS WAS SENT FOR REVIEW AS 1ST SEEMED TO NOT APPEAR. Therefore that's why it's duplicated- to the owner of the Piper !

Went for a midweek lunch and we wont be going again. Hubby asked what cask sles were on.....there werent any. I ordered gammon, he ordered a stilton burger only to be told a few minutes later they were out of burgers. Ok so he decided on fish and chips......another few minutes and we were told they were out of fish, so third attempt and he joined me in ordering gammon. The meal was average, the skin on chips that were supposed to be served were ordinary frozen chips. This was all 5 days before Christmas and apart from some decorations at the bar in front of the main door the rest of the place was completely devoid of any seasonal cheer

The food was lovely and the staff are really friendly and accommodating. I had a vegan burger and it was really tasty! 🍔

When we got to the pub I was very scared to get out of the car it was full of slippy ice,on car park and the path to get in pub.I was scared to get out of car my husband had to help us .I...

We booked a table here for 17:30, for our annual family Christmas meal. We turned up for around 17:20, young girl behind the bar was confused and no tables was set. Started off seeing the Manager outside smoking with locals on the front door which...

Reserves seats were taken. Just queued 20 mins for drinks. 1 poor girl behind bar, another came in to watch England and now behind bar. Manager comes to pour himself a pint and buggers off. Andy would have been down in pub working his backside...

Waited over an hour with no food served, no staff came to apologise for the wait and offered no explanation. (We didn't really enjoy the food) and were told wait was 30 mins, not over an hour.

Popped in to charge the car and decided to have lunch . Sunday dinner, the meat was nice , potato's and veg all served cold, gravy was like waterery dish water . Staff less than Interested . Poor show In today's market .

Feel so sad writing this, this has been my local for a long time but will be going elsewhere. This pub has turned into a youth club, just full of youngsters drinking one coke over 2 hours and taking over the pool table. In the...

Absolutely shocking, worst restaurant I’ve ever been to, I finished my food before my drink came as they had to go to the shop and get me a Diet Coke. Had a beef roast and it was terrible, the roast potatoes had just come out of Iceland. Waitress had no clue what she was doing, £31 for 2 tiny roasts, watery gravy and 2 Diet Cokes

Very poor food. Ordered some chicken wings with a lime dip. Got five chicken nuggets with sweet chilli sauce. Paid £5 for this. Over charged for pint of beer. Should have had 25% off.
