Friendly helpful staff, great prices and great proper pub food

First time here at the red lion Chester, lovely clean and inviting atmosphere, all the sports and good range of draft beer and spirits on the bar, food was well priced and good value.

Meg and Leisha provided great service, great value drinks and excellent food, will be back again for more

Great Christmas Day at the red lion. Staff friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere

Fast service. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good prices.

Fantastic as always, great little pub with the best staff 😊

Quick service and friendly staff. Will 100% recommend

Myself, my daughter and my mother came here for lunch. We had the pleasure of meeting the chef, she was amazing. My 2 year old daughter has many dietary needs and the chef was so helpful and caring towards her. She made some extra vegan things for my daughter to try as she is fussy aswel as vegan (not by choice). It was such a pleasure eating here, all the staff were really nice and helpful with food choices amongst everything else they were doing. Very friendly pub, clean and comfy. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back when in Chester. 100%.

Fabulous service as always, everyone went above and beyond during my visit. The atmosphere over a busy weekend was amazing, can’t wait to visit again

Harrison was absolutely fantastic at the Red Lion! His energy and enthusiasm really stood out, making the atmosphere so much more enjoyable. He was attentive and friendly, ensuring that everyone felt welcome and had a great time. Whether it was engaging with guests or keeping everything running smoothly, he truly excelled in every aspect. It was a pleasure to see someone so dedicated and passionate about their work. Overall, Harrison's presence made the experience unforgettable! 😜😜

All the staff were amazing especially Fran.

Sophie made the experience at red lion amazing, very attentive and my drink was delicious

Fabulous visit once again, the pints were amazing with the service from Lol, Meg, Alicia and Fran was excellent. Will be back again very soon

Expensive on the drinks. We were one of the first tables in and we were the last to get our food. The pieninordered was rock hard and I could only eat the middle.

Great old fashioned pub with good selection of drinks, quick table service good pub grub with friendly helpful staff and footy on as well. Very busy even mid week so either book a table or wait at the bar. 👍

Good Beer, Good Food, great service, boisterous students on the day we visiter

Supporter of live music so good in my book!

Called with the sole purpose of using a multi venue gift voucher up. Impressed that staff knew what to do with it without any hassle. We were enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and not really aware of time passing but eventually queried our food order. Staff quickly came to tell us there had been an issue and the order had not gone to the kitchen. From that point on the food was very quickly received, was hot and delicious. My chicken and ham pie was great, peas nicely cooked, not over done and fries crisp and hot. My partner thoroughly enjoyed his chicken burger. Staff couldn't have been nicer and were very sorry about the delay, which can happen anywhere. The food was great value, menu choices varied and sometimes you just want good, unfancy, nice food. Pub had a good friendly, bustling atmosphere and serves smirniff ice which is a bonus as not everywhere does.

Came in for a few drinks, received amazing service from Alicia, Meg and Lol. They were ever so helpful and can't wait to come back again

Hayden is an absolute delight!!

Dropped in for a pint of John Smiths. Good beer and friendly atmosphere. Will return for a meal next time ... and to see the barmaids socks with hearts on which she displayed with a little dance. It's staff like that who make you feel at home and give the pub it's friendly atmosphere.

Came in for drinks with friends, and received expectional service from Meg, Hayden and Jess. They were so friendly and attentive, it’s always a pleasure to visit the Red Lion.

Brilliant service as always. Can't fault the place, good atmosphere, friendly staff and always have a good meal from here. Absolutely faultless...Meg is an asset to the team

We’ve been here so many times and this is why today visit is hard to report. Made order for 4 adults an 1 child. Was not told pre order there were any issues. After paying and walking away I overheard bar staff telling another person after ordering a pizza there was a 30min wait. We waited for approximately 1hr 20 mins for the food this was not once interrupted by staff to tell us why and apologise for the wait. The fact we had a child who was eating, didn’t help them to keep us updated. Finally food came and everything was cold,we got offered a free round of drinks and 3 of our dishes were taken back for fresh. After about 10 mins the nachos came back,still the same and was told the steak Philly were being cooked. Another 10 mins past and the staff member came back and told us that they were very sorry but they’d ran out of panini’s !!! This was the final straw we requested a refund for the food we didn’t receive. The food we did get wasn’t up to the normal standard. My son had the Tacos which he said were warm but was so hungry he ate them…..tonight he’s not stopped being sick!!!

I visited here with some family today and waited 1 hour for food after ordering, as well as informing the staff that me and my girlfriend both had an allergy upon ordering food at the bar. We received cutlery after about 40 minutes of waiting, a further 20 minutes past without any sign of our food, so we asked a staff member if they could check on our food, after asking we were informed that there would be a wait due to the allergies. We did not think that this was acceptable as the area was not busy at all, there were tables who came in after us and ordered after us who had received and finished their food before we had even received cutlery. As the lady who informed us about the wait walked off and said “unless you want to have an allergic reaction” under her breath, however it was loud enough for us and a number of other people to hear this. This made a number of other guests look over at us making us feel uncomfortable and very judged, this should not have happened and as a direct result of the comment made towards us we decided to leave as myself and girlfriend did not feel safe eating here. As staff members of Mitchell and Butler we do understand the importance of allergy safety and appreciate that areas need to be cleaned before cooking, but this should not be used as an excuse for food taking over an hour to arrive and being treated as rudely as we were. We paid for our drinks and left, would not visit again, the staff member in question was rude and no apology was offered at any point. The rest of the staff looked as though they would rather be elsewhere rather than at their jobs. The service was very slow and I felt like we were an inconvenience to be a customer in their buisness. I’d appreciate to hear your comments and feedback on this issue and that customer service training is required for this employee as no customer should be made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome in any buisness no matter what their dietary requirements are.

Cheap and cheerful, as you would expect .

Came In for a burger whilest shoppin, friendly staff and great food, highly recommend

No nothing has changed still a great pub food excellent staff brilliant all helpful and friendly 👍👍👍 they all go above and beyond 2 help you 👌👌

Popped in for a late lunch whilst out & about in chester and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food considering it's reasonably priced ( for chester city centre). My mixed grill & my partners steak meal were cooked just how we liked and good portion sizes the inclusion of a pot of pepper sauce each was a nice touch - we will definitely return next time we're in town 😋

This place is excellent great food and excellent quality drinks 🍸 👌 and all the staff were excellent Happy atmosphere and nothing was to much trouble for the staff who were all excellent 👍👍 Megan fran alisa jess 😀 👍

it was 2:30pm on monday when we visited, there were 2 other tables in the pub, the place was quiet. we ordered on the app, food and drinks for 3 of us. we went up to the bar and asked for table water for 4, and the girls behind the bar treated us as an inconvenience, no customer service attitude or initiative between the pair of them and faces like slapped arses. we waited 20 minutes for cutlery to be delivered to us, and one of the girls had her vape in her hand with her mouthpiece touching our cutlery, absolutely disgusting. we waited 30 minutes for 3 meals, considering it is pretty much all fried it took a ridiculous amount of time. to be fair my burger which was grilled was also burnt, didn’t complain at the time due to having to leave soon, and wasn’t going to wait another 30 minutes to rectify this issue. after the food had been given to us, there were no apologises for the long wait or even an “enjoy your meals” the service was nonexistent.

Brilliant place staff are lovely and helpfull and very friendly be good if all the pubs was like that

Absolutely amazing service from Alicia and Harrison best bar staff around both definitely need a pay rise. The whole atmosphere of this pub is one of the best in Chester all staff are so friendly.

This pub does the best fish and chips in Chester, the staff are also very friendly especially Alicia and Harrison both serve with a smile and do a great pint. 100% recommend

Had a good time loving staff megan always smiling always makes us feel welcome brilliant cook the food was extremely good an didn’t have to wait to long for the food lovley Rachel brought it down for us

Order a mega mixed grill, cooked to perfection, highly rated , top chef well done , amazing staff made me feel welcome and chef didn't mind making me a poached egg instead of fried

Slightly expensive for what it is, but good pints, bar staff are very quick and get through a big crowd with ease, and there's a couple of little tables outside... There's not much funnier than getting drunk and watching the evening/nightlife of Chester walk by...

Best place i come to with my pals x

Lovely food, good vibe and show live football recommended, Hayden is the man !

Atmosphere was great and enjoyed a mighty meaty burger. Will be returning!

Great food and staff super friendly

Great food, amazing prices and definitely worth the visit. Highly recommend to any student in Chester! Lovely staff, excellent service and delicious food!😋😍

It's kind of a business vibe bar. Got busy, and the music was turned up too loud to my taste. It's not a disco. Open until late when we were there.

Fantastic food, fantastic service, and a fantastic time, what more could you ask for. The team were great, Hayden, Megan, and Fran were absolutely fantastic, thank you very much.

Yes, lovely place meals were alright 👍 nice place to pop in for a quick bite to eat .

Good atmosphere, good food, good price

Very friendly staff especially Megan, very happy nothing to much trouble great pub

Nice cocktails, offer 2 for £10.50

Great location. Big inside, plenty of seating, tv's on the wall and the food looked value for money. We sat outside, enjoyed drinks and took in the scenery of Chester. Staff were really friendly. Will definitely return when back in Chester.

Had a fabulous lunch with my mum an 2 daughters today. The chef Jake cooked my steak to perfection 👌👍. The food was all delicious an presentation of each meal perfect. We was served by Jess an meg who were fantastic friendly an super helpful lovely polite ladies. We shall be returning next time in Chester thanx for the service an food 😁.

Came to the Red Lion 6.7.24 for some food after some shopping in chester. The food was great, and the service was made better by hayden behind the bar, who was spot on with his customer service as we had a minor issue with a food order, which he sorted out no problem. He's a great asset to this pub.

Food was great, we had the mega mixed grill and double steak cooked to perfection, thanks Jake, service from Alicia and the bar staff brilliant. Food and drink prices are very good will be back Friday👍

Always great service when we come here. Last night Lol & Fran were great and always make us feel welcome. Food is always incredible too

On arrival we were welcomed to warm an inviting team, drinks were served very shortly after being seated. The menu has loads to choose from so catered for all even picky eaters like myself, The food tastes as good as it looks an I’ve never walked away disappointed I leave with a belly full an cheeks hurting with laughter as it really is a welcoming establishment, the food will always be the reason for my return but overall 10-10 for how restaurant/pubs should be run. Massive thank you to Alex, Rachel an the rest of the team.

One of my favourite pubs in Chester, every-time without fail when ordering food and drinks it always comes out quick, fresh and beautifully presented. Each time I have been here I have been presented food mainly by Rachel the chef who always makes it easy to come back to the establishment again. She provides amazing customer service alongside her passion for food she’s a very valuable member of staff. Would definitely recommend the services this pub offers as they always exceed expectations from the bar side and food side.

. Best sports bar in town, service with a smile of alicia and Jess are the best. Food quality and price superb. Jake and Alex best chefs around

Best pub in Chester the bar staff are amazing especially jess and Alicia really helpful great personality and service they went above and beyond food is amazing 5star this place definitely recommend 🍺👌

Popped in for a cheeky pint and something to eat. Ordered the fiery chicken stack. Best chicken burger I've ever tasted. Chicken was tender and juicy. Southern style coating was nice n crispy. Naga chilli sauce was popping! Would definitely recommend 👌

Friendly staff Clean toilets Lovely food

Really lovely pub came to watch the football. The staff especially Alicia and Meg from the bar and the chef I think his name was Jake but sorry can't be sure all looked after us brilliantly.

Booked a table after looking for somewhere to watch the Champions cup semi final on Saturday evening. It was busy when we arrived and we were escorted to a private booth. Most of the main screens were on football and it was nice to have a booth with a screen and commentary. The food was a surprise and it was delicious. The two ladies at the bar were polite.

Alicia Meg and Jake made our day lovely food brilliant service excellent thank you so much x x x

My favorite red lion in all of Cheshire! Fantastic service and good, big shout out to Megan, Alicia and Harrison.
