The Saddle Inn in Cheshire West and Chester

Nice atmosphere where you can share your voice singing your favourite songs. Sad my friend left to Scotland

I adore the Saddle Inn Chester, my favourite place, every Wednesday with Berni Lee open mic night, superb atmosphere I feel so at home here, it's so great to be their.

Do not like the 7 brothers beer

Was looking for a place for a Sunday dinner and we found this place by chance as we had a dog with us and not many places are dog friendly, so a friend recommended the saddle and I’ve been here before for a drink and pool but none of us was expecting the Sunday dinner we got served this was on another level of perfection everything was so tasty and good and couldn’t compliment enough definitely going to be a regular thing for a Sunday roast couldn’t fault a single thing on anyone’s plate this is really a hidden gem for a roast dinner pleasantly surprised

This was our second stay to The Saddle Inn and we will definitely be back again. The staff are so friendly and accommodating they can't do enough for you. It's in a great location for exploring the city. We also ate there and highly recommend the Beef Pizza

First class multi roomed, music venue with sports channel 📺. Sad to note they only have the demand for one cask ale - Trooper - but the price is as cheap as you’ll find in Chester (excluding Spoons) Well worth a visit.

Cheap drinks, live RATM tribute band, free entry. Friendly staff

Historic pub with inn. Music themed rooms. Pool. Live music.

Stayed here for a two night break,absolutely great. Leigh and Rebecca were outstanding hosts. The bar staff were excellent as were the breakfast team. We will definately come back. We stayed in Pantera room which was very clean and comfortable.

Went on a Friday night is karaoke night great fun. on Saturday nights is live bands in the heavy metal genre

A lovely welcome from Hannah, behind the bar, who pretty much explained everything about the fabulous "Saddlers" and surrounding area. Great pub, proper friendly with lots to offer. See you all soon!!

Great Service at The Saddle following Chester Races. Ideally located in Central Chester. The service is always exceptional and the team are a great credit to the establishment, really professional and the service is always quick. Great selection of drinks are available. Please pass on our thanks to the team. Claire (Manager), Sam & Amy (Supervisors). Barstaff - Taylor, Ace, Kassie, Sarah, Jarah, Sam & Toby. Many thanks. A great pub in Chester.

We called into this pub when passing during a day out in Chester. We both ordered tuna mayo sandwiches and drinks, the food arrived quickly but mine was served on stale bread and there was that much vingarette in the sandwich it was difficult to taste the tuna. When the barmaid collected the plates and I said the bread was stale she just said ‘sorry about that’ but no offer was made to rectify or refund me. All in all, it’s a place we won’t be returning to.

I must admit as ‘non rockers’ , I was a bit nervous as to what sort of hotel I had booked into.. we wanted a family friendly, down to earth, traditional pub… and the saddler did not disappoint! The staff are absolutely lovely, and can’t do enough for you, the bar food is fab, along with a great breakfast. Yes, it’s ‘rock’ themed however we loved the ‘down to earth’ feel, and unpretentious atmosphere!!central to everything too We will definitely be back…

Didn't stay but the general place was inviting and food was great value.

Leigh and Rebecca.. thank you so much!! Booked a room for us on very short notice… went down for dinner which was divine and the staff were amazing 🤩

Great rock pub with some fantastic drinks deals

Live bands, what more do you need to say... Get out and support.

Great atmosphere fantastic food lovely rooms

We booked a table for 5 after the races on sat Firstly service was so good friendly and just lovely. As for the food simply delicious My 2 mates had the rabbit pie and veg which was delicious I had the pork belly was so so good And my fussy mate had amazing toasties lol The chef we were told was great and by god he did not disappoint simply brilliant Thank you

Brilliant place for drinks, service, and live music. Karaoke for those who prefer to entertain. Great pool table. Spacious bar area. Nice large beer garden. What's not to like.....

We called here looking for a "proper" pub that served bitter rather than larger which seemed to be served in every pub in Chester. We were welcomed by very friendly staff one turned the landlady Rebecca. We asked for a recommendation for food , offered their menu but also told if there was nothing on that we wanted she could recommend others. We are there, the belly pork was melt in the mouth delicious.

Great rock / metal pub, nice selection of drinks at good prices was lucky enough to be in there when 'the Bite' where playing a set of classic metal covers , looked great and sounded amazing 👏 brilliant night highly recommended to fellow metal heads 🤘

One of the only rock bars in Chester, great live music and even had sports on TV while I was in. Great experience

Lovely pub warm welcome and friendly staff

What can I say, this place is old rock meets gourmet gastro. Great service, food menu is outstanding, made to order with a menu that covers every diet and it's delicious! Location is right between the race course and the town centre, brilliant for visiting this beautiful old world city. We didn't stay the night but are on our next visit. A definite thumbs up

Amazing service from the staff. The food is amazing. They were so friendly and the dogs were welcome

Perfect location. For city.close to everything you need. Small walk to park . Staff are very friendly. Breakfast was lovely and perfectly cooked. Chef was nice and friendly.

First visit here with a mate who's been before. Couple of drinks and played pool. Large selection of drinks available. Quite a decent sized pub, beer garden to the rear. Live music, karaoke, quiz night, are just some of the attractions throughout the week there. I will definitely be returning at some point.

Stayed here for a night, I was pleasantly surprised , our room was a good size and clean. The bed was a king sized and comfortable The staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very well cooked The pub is in a good central location, it is heavy rock themed but our room was not overly done ,there was an open mic night but as we were at the top of the hotel it did not disturb us and we stayed up for some of it We did not eat there at night but looking at the menu it actually looked very good so would try it again

Reviewing this entirely as a bar / live music venue. The saddle is located a 2 minute walk from the centre of Chester. The place is dressed in guitars and is very clean. The staff are warm and friendly, no attitude. The manager Claire was lovely and kind. Their live music area is fantastic - great sound system, nice carpet, and a wall adorned with rock and roll history. On Weds they host an open mic night where drums and amps are provided! So come along! It kicks off at 8pm and rolls right on til midnight.

Busy pub,yet landlord and staff friendly. Great live music on certain nights. Haven't seen rooms but have been told they are clean and tidy.

Great rock pub full of characters, all the staff were very friendly

Nice little pub. Decent pint, great music and a pool table

Excellent rock pub, we had a great time here. Understandably busy, but staff were friendly and efficient. Selection of drinks and food Excellent, prices reasonable. I would definitely recommend.

The staff can do nothing but help you with everything from checking you in to choosing the right drink. Nothing but legends.

You want to stay somewhere Unique ? with massive soul, & customer service in spades? with fun, great staff, & music for all genres? Stay here!!. The Saddle Inn as an overnighter will only ever disappoint if you hate loud music , can't do stairs, don't want to mingle , & prefer Corporate . Not for the faint hearted ... INCLUSIVE / Refuses to compromise on principles & stands out among the crowd.

Wow..Where to start. We stayed at the Saddle for 2 nights on a Friday and Saturday night. There were 4 of us and we had the pleasure of staying in Room 2 which was the Jimi Hendrix Room. More of that Later.... Upon arrival at 2pm we were greeted by the Fantastic Will and the Landlady Rebecca. As soon as we arrived I could tell that this was going to be a fantastic stay..The reception we received was extra special. The wonderful Will saw to it that we knew all the ins and outs of the Pub. We were offered breakfast at £10 for the following morning. An offer which we took up..And was so glad that we did. We were the n shown to our room. The room was clean tidy and very spacious for 4 people. The beds were so very comfortable and the Jimi Hendrix theme was amazing !! The staff at The Saddle were unbelievably helpful and I know it's a cliché but literally absolutely nothing was too much trouble and each and everyone of them were courteous and served with a smile on their face and were very engaging. I went down to the bar area at just turned 1.am and asked if I could get a glass of Iced water to take to my room . It was given to me with a smile and a friendly conversation...And that was at 1.am !!! During the day and night we were served by Wonderful Staff who were ever so polite and made sure we were well looked after. Some name dropping here but it's so well deserved..So a massive thank you to Will..Hannah..Claire... Rebecca..Leigh the Landlord and all the other Staff who were amazing xx The breakfast was absolutely superb and there was plenty of it. I don't know where the Chef came from but he/she deserves a special mention..Bravo Sir or Madam !! The bar has a Licence until 2.am and you can still get food from 9.pm until 1.am..I opted for the Cheeseburger which was absolutely stunning at only £5. There are other options though. Now for the Entertainment..Friday night was Karaoke night . The atmosphere was Superb and we had a thoroughly enjoyable night. Saturday was a band night and although they were a little too heavy for my liking the pub was full and you couldn't fault the way the night went down. In conclusion..Would I stay here again ? Absolutely 100 per cent !! I'm going to take my Wife for a weekend in December. So to all at the Saddle Inn I would like to say Thank You..Thank You..Thank You. We had the most amazing stay with you guys and can't wait to see you all again xxx Take a bow everyone at the Saddle..You deserve each and every accolade you receive.. Absolutely Amazing !!!!

The food was wonderful, we called in after Chester Pride and were pleasantly surprised. The menu was varied and the food cooked to perfection.

Great atmosphere, fantastic staff and a really cool concept with the Rock Bar and guest rooms named after Bands. We held our annual Army reunion there and had a wonderful time. Rebecca - the owner - could not have been more helpful and this attitude was shown by the staff. The food here was excellent, I ordered a steak and ale pie to be told it was freshly made and would be cooked to order, I was not disappointed and it was clearly homemade by the chef. Live rock music on Saturday night was great and contributed to our overall enjoyment.

Was excited to see a live rock band which was advertised from 9pm but there was no sign of them by 9.45 and no announcements so we just left disappointed

Had a great evening at the Saddle Inn. We ordered food when we got there, which was reasonable priced & delicious. It is a rock music pub, & it was an open mic night. Loads of great local singers doing sets. Staff were friendly too. Very enjoyable evening which we recommend if you are visiting Chester.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Saddle Inn. Good live music and food to die for Very friendly hosts Walking distance from the centre of Chester

Lovely people, fabulous room and amazing food. Perfect all round place to stay. Jukebox just up our alley. Will definitely be coming back!

Wow....what a fantastic meal, great cooking with service to match. Highly recommended. Great value for money for all the family. See you soon

We were in chester a couple of weeks ago, our rented cottage was just steps away from the Saddle Inn so it became our local ! Really great pub, very welcoming staff , leigh the owner is an absolute gent, showed me one of the rooms they rent out and it looked fabulous! Great band on the saturday night, kareoke on the friday, brill atmosphere! We ate at the Saddle one night and omg ! The food is delicious ! Kudos to the chef, all homemade just so tasty ! Next time we are in chester, we will deffo call in every night, thanks all for being so welcoming x

Excellent rock bar. Great choice of beer at competitive prices and friendly helpful staff. Great atmosphere on the regular gig nights that happen most Saturdays and open Mike on Wednesday. Always make sure I call in when visiting Chester! Thanks!

The Saddle Inn, is not just a hotel it was the only ‘Rock pub’ we found in Chester and the jukebox had so many great tunes.

Wasn't to sure what to expect as booked through Ted Letter voucher. The Saddle Inn is a bit quirky and different to our usual stay overs. The staircases and our bathroom needed a little TLC but everything else made up for it. The welcome and checking in was good and all the staff we met were very pleasant. The chef who we believe is quite new ( hang on to him) sent out a 1 st class breakfast two mornings and a great meal on our second night. Everything lovely and fresh, cooked to order. Rebecca was lovely and very obliging, nothing too much trouble. The Saddle Inn is a great location for the City Centre, The River Dee and to walk the City Walls. If you have a talent and want to join in they have an open Mic. night plus other music nights ( live music)

Nice place if you like loud music Staff very friendly Had one drink here on way back to hotel Nice place

We had a Christmas buy a gift booking for stay in Chester at the lovely saddle inn. The booking was for a double room, dinner bed and breakfast. On arrival we were upgraded to a premium double room on the top floor Metallica room. The room was beautifully decorated in keeping with the saddles theme! The bed was very comfortable and the staff were extremely friendly. They had an open mic event on overnight and the live music was a lovely touch. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and plentiful. This is a dog friendly stay and the owner has two lovely blue frenchies who are extremely friendly looking forward to staying again Thankyou for a lovely stay

The staff are amazing, the music food and drinks are all great and reasonably priced. We really enjoyed our stay here, it’s not far from the main shops to walk to. I can recommend staying here and thank the staff for helping make our stay so enjoyable x

Nice friendly staff and good location was a bit disappointed with the dinner menu not a lot of choice but the breakfast made up for it.

The Saddle Inn es un gran pub que mi hermano gemelo Stephen y yo visitamos en un viaje reciente de dos días a Chester (cierre previo al coronavirus), es un pub que siempre espero visitar en cualquier viaje a esta histórica ciudad amurallada.Me encanta el interior, un pub de aspecto maravilloso, la sala principal está dominada por una barra de servicio muy llamativa completa con bombas de cerveza de aspecto fantástico que están hechas de tallos de guitarra, hay una gran decoración y muebles que incluyen todo tipo de carteles de rock'n'roll adornando las paredes, televisores para disfrutar del deporte y un montón de opciones de asientos repartidas por todo este pub, todo ubicado en un edificio de gran apariencia, es simplemente un pub maravilloso.Mi hermano y yo estuvimos aquí un jueves por la mañana, de hecho éramos los primeros clientes del día cuando llegamos a las 11 am cuando abrió el pub, recibidos con una sonrisa por un miembro del personal muy agradable, después de un rápido estudio de su cervezas reales ambos optamos por tener Robinsons Brewery "trooper" y estas pale ales se sirvieron en excelentes condiciones, nos dieron una mesa donde simplemente nos relajamos, nos relajamos y planeamos el día siguiente mientras bebíamos nuestras cervezas.Mi pale ale era realmente buena, una pale ale crujiente, bien equilibrada y con mucho cuerpo con un gran golpe de lúpulo, muy fácil de beber, un estilo de cerveza real que realmente disfruto, mi hermano también me dio el visto bueno a su pale ale. fue el comienzo perfecto para nuestro día.Ambos disfrutamos mucho de nuestra cerveza pálida aquí y, aunque nuestra visita fue solo fugaz, como en cualquier otra visita a The Saddle Inn, tuvimos una gran visita.El Saddle Inn es fácil de localizar a lo largo de Grosvenor Street.Los horarios de apertura son;Lunes a jueves de 11 a 23 hs.Viernes y sábados de 11 a 02 h.Domingo de 11 a 23 h.Un gran pub, uno que recomiendo encarecidamente que visites si estás en la zona.

Visited Chester last september to see a friend of mine and we spent majority of the time in The Saddle. The friendliest bar staff, the BEST atmosphere and never felt more welcome. The food is amazing and the venue itself reminded me of a couple of old pubs I used to frequent in Norwich back in the 90's. I can't say anything more positive about The Saddle. Leigh and his staff run an amazing pub/music venue and I cannot wait to visit again in the near future!!

Vinimos a The Saddle Inn para una estancia de una noche, tuvimos un buyaguft. com vale y elegí quedarme aquí.Desde el momento en que entramos, nos recibieron con los brazos abiertos. Todo fue tan sencillo y sencillo, nos llevaron a nuestra habitación enseguida, lo cual fue encantador! Luego bajamos al pub, que tenía una noche de micrófono abierto, ¡gran ambiente! La señora propietaria nos vio y nos habló a través del menú, ya que estaba ocupado, nos sentamos en taburetes altos y mesa, nos llevó a un área cómoda que no vimos para disfrutar de nuestra deliciosa comida.Luego nos fuimos a dar una vuelta por Chester y tomar unas copas.Volví y tuve una hermosa noche de sueño. Sin ruido y una cama muy cómoda, ¡perfecta para nosotros como una pareja joven con un niño de 6 años en casa!Acabo de disfrutar de un encantador inglés completo y café.Recomendamos alojarse aquí y sin duda volveremos! !Muchas gracias por hacer que nuestra estancia sea tan placentera.¡Te veo pronto!Marie y Richard x

Fairly quiet when we were there, but a proper pub,,Better than the likes of Wetherspoons etc.Only 500 yds from centre.

The pub has some lovely seating areas and the drinks are very reasonably priced. The small terrace outside is good for smoking and the staff were all very happy and friendly.

Cualquier seguidor ávido de mis escritos elocuentes sobre el tema de los restaurantes sublimes no se sorprenderá al descubrir que mi querida esposa, Ophelia y yo, estábamos discutiendo gentil y cortésmente de manera burlona sobre dónde saciar nuestros apetitos no insignificantes después de nuestra lectura más atractiva de las antigüedades. y curiosidades en el museo Grosvenor (un establecimiento que sospecho que agradece solo por mi bien), cuando pasamos cautelosamente por lo que ahora reconocemos como un verdadero hito nacional: The Saddle Inn. Cuando nos nivelamos con la bulliciosa casa pública, nuestros sentidos fueron tratados con un delicioso festín para los sentidos; música melodiosa y templada, y el aroma de la comida tan tentador. Juro por el nombre de nuestra mayor figura histórica, Sir Charles Dickenses, que casi podía percibir, en mi mente, naturalmente, que estábamos siendo atraídos por un humor cómico de aroma sabroso (Quizás similar a una película de "Tom y Jerry"). Independientemente de mis divagaciones, permítanos progresar. Cuando cruzamos el umbral, tentados por nuestros estómagos, nos vimos obligados por un momento a detenernos. Sorprendidos por el asombro total de la decoración y el entorno que ahora encapsula nuestra vista. El techo de mis queridos lectores está pintado como una vista desde un asiento en el cosmos, y centellea y se ilumina como tal bajo el ingenioso resplandor de una "luz negra". Las guitarras ornamentales se sientan en lo alto de las paredes, cada una de ellas una obra maestra de diseño estético que podría haber derramado desmesuradamente. . . Pero, por supuesto, cuando Ophelia tiene hambre, debe ser saciada rápidamente, para que no tenga el mismo temperamento que su madre menos que agradable. Ergo, nos acercamos al bar, ansiosos por descubrir por nosotros mismos si la comida era capaz de igualar el esplendor de nuestro entorno. Pero tal vez, queridos amigos, es hora de que les ilumine algunos de mis antecedentes cruciales. Aunque nací en el una vez gran país de Inglaterra, en realidad pasé una gran cantidad de mis años de formación en Estados Unidos. Por lo tanto, me sentí abrumado al descubrir que en el menú de este excelente establecimiento era un manjar que lamentablemente no había agraciado mi paladar durante muchos años. PERROS DE MAÍZ. No hace falta decir que me sentí abrumado por la alegría de un gourmand reunido con un plato históricamente bien recordado. Naturalmente, le sugerí a mi querida Ofelia que los probara. Y, naturalmente, ella me ignoró y optó por tomar sus propias decisiones. (Lo cual sería perfectamente respetable, pero por el hecho de que ella los probó bastante liberalmente de mi porción después de que llegó la comida). Como habrás podido adivinar, tanto yo como mi querida esposa disfrutamos muchísimo de nuestra visita y estamos seguros de que volveremos a continuación nos encontramos en Grosvenor Street. Como es habitual, mi conclusión contiene algunas notas finales. La música presentada aquí es más que ejemplar, particularmente en un domingo, cuando tuvimos la alegría de asistir en persona. Los champiñones al ajillo empanizados eran particularmente exquisitos, una delicia para el paladar que no debe perderse. Y finalmente fue un gran placer conocer a los dos modelos de cultura responsables de la gestión de un lugar tan celestial. Leigh y Rebecca fueron una delicia absoluta para conversar, y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. Fue un honor estrechar la mano digna de algunos de los últimos publicanos verdaderos dentro de estas islas británicas. Lamentablemente amigos, esto nos lleva al final de mi última revisión, y debo decirles adiós a todos. Toodle Pip!

Perfectly situated for the races and centre of Chester. The staff couldn’t do enough for you and lots of entertainment!

. . . En barrica. Inmediatamente lo probé, estaba claramente apagado, con un sabor intenso y todas las indicaciones de una mala pinta. Lo llamé a la atención de la camarera, que habló con un compañero barbudo (¿gerente?) A unos 5 pies de distancia. El gerente no se molestó en dirigirse a mí directamente, pero el mensaje regresó de que era un barril nuevo y que había limpiado las líneas el día anterior, así que no había nada de malo en la cerveza y, por lo tanto, no cambiaría por nada. más. Compré otra bebida (en barril) y eventualmente vertieron el Hobgoblin, sin reembolso, sin cambio, sin disculpas. Ciertamente no volveré y si la buena cerveza es una razón por la que vas a un pub, te sugiero que tampoco lo hagas. . .La realidad de la cerveza mala, particularmente en barrica, es cómo se trata y se cuida ese barril, y ciertamente no se puede decir si se está protestando que está fresca. Si al menos no la prueba, entonces puede hacerlo. Te lo digo en absoluto, muy mal servicio. Es posible que el cliente no siempre tenga razón, pero usted no solo lo despide cuando no está contento. . . Pobre espectáculo Saddle, muchos lugares mejores en Chester, no desperdicies tu dinero aquí. . .

¡Bien! He hecho bastantes domingos, fantásticos talentos locales, músicos en vivo, comida y excelente ambiente. Una excelente manera de pasar un domingo por la tarde en Chester conociendo a los personajes que conforman esta gran ciudad y una maravillosa bienvenida a todos en este gran histórico bar de rock 10/10 ????

Almorcé en el Saddle Inn justo antes de Navidad a la hora del almuerzo. Excelente y abundante comida. Buena selección de entrantes y platos principales tradicionales a un precio muy razonable. El personal era muy amable y el servicio era bueno. Volveré a llamar la próxima vez que estemos en Chester

Me invitaron a una fiesta de cumpleaños en el pub. Además de la agradable compañía, se proporcionó un buffet decente y una banda que tocó lo que a todos nos gusta, es decir, 70 s 80 s 90 s rock con un poco de jazz. La cerveza también está bien. Tarde muy decente. Sin duda lo recomendaría para un lugar de fiesta.

Llamado para un almuerzo y fue genial. Buena comida y bien cocinada. Personal agradable Decidimos volver por la tarde para la banda. Ahora aquí es donde se pone frustrante. Generalmente no fumo, pero me gusta una marica astuta con mi cerveza. Generalmente no tengo contacto con mis compañeros de mala influencia, pero me gusta ponerme al día con ellos cuando los veo fuera de casa. Ninguna de estas cosas que generalmente publico. Pero este pub lo hace. Fotos y videos tomados constantemente. Nadie preguntó si estaba bien. 580 + fotos en las redes sociales de una noche. Cuando salgo quiero relajarme y reírme. No estar mirando por encima de mi hombro. Se fue temprano y no volverá

Me alojé aquí por dos noches, el precio era bastante caro, pero supongo que sería en el centro de Chester la habitación era grande tenía dos ventanas grandes pero la cama era muy incómoda, el baño estaba limpio y ordenado, y el limpiador arreglaba la habitación. alto nivel el personal era encantador, muy atento y hablador y el desayuno era muy bueno, lo peor para mí fue la música a altas horas de la noche la primera noche del martes estaba muy cansado y la música estaba sonando en la caja del duque hasta el 1. 00 am no afectó a mi compañero, ya que dormirá a través de un terremoto, pero la segunda noche nos quedamos despiertos hasta que el micrófono abierto terminó y estaba muy cansado, así que dormí muy bien, los lugareños son muy amables y bienvenidos.

Our family of 4 stayed one night here in the family room. We had plenty of room. The room was a outdated and up narrow, twisty stairs but I don’t mind any of that. The staff was friendly enough and let us check in a couple of hours early. The breakfast was also good. The problems were that the bathroom shower was very moldy and the pub part was not a neighborhood sort of place where we could hang out with our family for a drink or a meal. It was a rock bar and pretty loud there too. I don’t think I would stay here again. At least not for 110 pounds.

Called here with a mate after a few pints around town.

Not rocked around in Chester since my student years so while catching up with a old friend i was delighted to hear there was a new " rock bar" in town with guitar necks for beer pumps.

I've not been in here for a long time and what a shame. It was called The Chester Bells the last time I was here, but it's changed for the better! Lovely interior with comfy seating and great choice of beer. What topped it off was the rock music theme that's characterized with memorabilia on the walls and music through the jukebox (not loud or intrusive). I won't be leaving it too long before calling in again.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, lovely place to be! Landlord and staff are constantly trying to make your stay the best it could be! Will be back

Lovely place to stay overnight in chester! Staff are friendly and the food is great! Staff are always looking for opportunities to make your night as comfortable and enjoyable as possible! 5*

Mix of good and bad. Suggested here to our friends but they were reluctant because they'd heard about a brawl at the venue a few weeks back. Persuaded them that it had probably been the races crowd and we'd be ok as there were no races. First thing we heard was talk about a kick off that had just happened. Friends were on edge straight away and wanted to leave. Persuaded them to stay as we'd just shelled out 8 quid plus on a pint and a short plus mixer. Came to watch the band but the pub layout makes it difficult to see them. The band are at one end of the place and where you stand to watch is the narrowest part of the pub, with the bar to one side, and two massive tables taking up floor space. Constantly having to move so people could get to the bar, out to the smoking bit or to the loos. Lots of people stood at the bar were watching the band and wouldnt move to let people get served. Frustrating.

7 of us went to Chester races last Friday and just to liven us up we called in for a few drinks here. Glad we did as the reception from all the staff we saw was excellent. We decided to have a meal before the 1st race and again the service was superb and the food ideal. After 7 races at Chester we chose to go back to The Saddle Inn and luckily the same table was available to us. We drank and ate in a super atmosphere and decided to eat again before travelling home (1.5 hrs) by mini-bus.

for the price it was very clean and i am quite fussy .staff very friendly and helpful it was like home from home food was very good as well .nothing was to much trouble

Nice to go to a place that supports live music and even the cover bands are a cut above the rest. Friendly landlord and staff, and good value for a Newcastle Brown.

En Chester en un viaje de un día y llamado por aquí después de ir al museo. Sólo tuvimos una bebida (media strongbow £1. 80). El servicio era amable, un montón de asientos - Por dentro y por fuera y el pub estaba limpia y...

Buena comida, un servicio amable y una excelente ubicación. Vale la pena hacer una parada en para el almuerzo, la cena o una copa. Relación calidad-precio.

Estábamos en el pub anteriormente y para ser sincero, no eres demasiado impresionado. Ahora está bajo una nueva administración y qué cambios, personal muy amable, muy limpio, la decoración moderna y bebidas a precios muy razonables. Sin duda volveremos la próxima vez que visitemos chester.

A mí y a mis compañeros en al sillín wonderd Inn & el personal del bar y el dueño Sr. lee Mack no podría haber sido mejor. así como lo fue durante el día decidimos volver por la tarde, hicimos noche genial. Así que si alguna vez vas a Chester recomiendo encarecidamente el sillín inn pub gran ciudad sigan con el buen trabajo lee todos los mejores

Yo y un compañero de negocios han descubierto recientemente el sillín Inn como un gran lugar para ir por una pinta y unos juegos de piscina después de nuestra comida mensual el día de pago. Ahora se ha convertido en uno de nuestros sitios turísticos, y el personal siempre fue muy amable, y el pintas heladas. Un fantástico lugar.

Excelente lugar para alojarse. Tenía una muy cálida bienvenida de los propietarios y el personal es muy amable. Bebidas a precios razonables. La comida era buena comidas a precios fantásticos hay ofertas incluso en eso lo hace aún más barato. Nos alojamos en un viernes y se unió al karaokey y sin duda volveremos a alojarnos 2 noches y disfrute de una noche de banda en un sábado. Gran lugar para servicio de estancia y todo lo que necesites, está a poca distancia andando del centro comercial. Habitación muy cómoda todo lo que necesites para un par de noches.

Me and my partner had arrange for a engagement party for April time, it was stated that 60 people were required in order for them to close the pub and make it a private event. We agreed and paid for 3 rooms for family to stay and paid a deposit for a buffet for 70 people. I had said We wouldn't mind regulars coming in for there usual drink etc. However it seems that new people had come in and taken over the place. They decided that they wanted to put a band on every Saturday, I had clearly stated I did not want a band as that is not the atmosphere we were going for, this was agreed in black and white, they said they would open the pub even though I had confirmed 115 guests. They tried to compromise with only putting the band on for an hour instead of hour and half, why would I agree to this when it had already been confirmed the pub would be exclusive to our party, this to me is pure greed and bad customer service. They have agreed to refund me for the money I had paid (thankfully and rightly so) the stress of this has caused me sleepless nights wondering how I'm meant to get my 115 guest elsewhere and find somewhere else within a short time, I had already sent out invites that costs me a small amount. Overall I am really annoyed by how I have been treated. The way they have handled it is appalling. Their attitude towards their customers needs to have a serious rethink if they expect to be around much longer. It's just a shame that the manager Tim who dealt with us originally is leaving as his customer service was second to none. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

OUTSTANDING. Right from the beginning the attention to detail was more than we could have asked for. Tim and the team went out of their way to ensure a great day was had by all. I would definitely recommend for a function, also a great place to eat and drink.

We called in on way back to hotel. Great atmosphere with Great staff. look outside for the boards there funny to read and theres funny signs inside too.

how anyone can charge £4.75 for a small wine is above me, will not be visiting again! The other bought just a pint of cider and a small wine and it was over £8:70...not good when there are better pubs in the area. Try the Eagle and the brewery tap....much better!

Just returned home from a weekend visit to Chester, having stayed at the Saddle Inn on Saturday night. It really is a brilliant place to stay - lovely rooms, bar serving good food and very friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast is excellent too. It was only a 5 minute walk or less to the shopping centre, Christmas Market and a great choice of many pubs, bars and restaurants. Being that few minutes outside of the main shopping centre meant it was that bit more peaceful as everywhere was packed to the rafters. After a spot of shopping I returned to the Saddle for a nice lunch before checking into my room. The room was very clean and comfortable and had everything you need - tea and coffee making facilities, TV, en suite etc, Excellent accommodation and great staff - can't find any fault with it at all - highly recommended I'm certainly looking forward to returning.

L'endroit est envahi à l'issue de courses de chevaux. des gens en costumes et en robe de soirée qui piccolent jusqu'à tomber radide; dommage l'intérieur est coquet, les fauteuils en cuir.

We were walking to the racecourse in a round about way to have a look at the beautiful Roodee on a none race day when we decided to drop into here for a quick drink. The last time I went this pub it was called The Chester Bells Pub and not only has it changed its name but has improved no end.A lovely inviting pub with a light and airy interior with nice furnishings and great decor and plenty of seating options plus they have a covered courtyard which is perfect for when the weather is nice. We were here on a Thursday afternoon and the pub was starting to get busy,after a quick study of the real ale's on offer my twin brother Stephen opted for a real ale while I went for a Strongbow cloudy apple cider and these were served in tip top condition and we took our drinks into the pleasant courtyard were we enjoyed our drinks on a beautiful roasting hot September afternoon. My cider was delicious and my twin really enjoyed his real ale and we had a very pleasant time in here before we moved on the racecourse. The Saddle Inn is really easy to locate on Grosvener Street in an area with some great pub's and restaurants. Opening hours are;Sunday to Thursday,11am till 11pm.Friday,11am till 1am. Saturday,11am till 2am.a superb pub and well worth checking out.

The Saddle Inn is another classic inn that offers an excellent food and drinks menu and also accommodation.The Saddle Inn is only a minute or so away from Chester racecourse and many of the sights around historic Chester.This inn i think was once called the Blue Bell pub but reverted to its original name (The Saddle Inn) earlier this year and has had a very tasteful makeover since my last visit.A multi-roomed inn with an excellent beergarden'the interior in here is excellent with a traditional look and feel and many interesting fixtures and features relating to Chester.There are great seating options inside and outside and it is an inn that is well worth visiting when in Chester. We went here mid-afternoon on a roasting hot day for a few beers.When here we sat in the beergarden and ordered a few pints of Caledonian brewery Deauchers cask ale which were excellent and price wise on par with other inns and pubs we went to when in Chester.The Saddle Inn is superb and is well worth a visit when visiting Chester as the beers were excellent and the staff are very friendly.Located on Grosvenor street.Opening hours are. Sunday-Thursday-11.00-23.00.Friday-11.00-01.00.Saturday-11.00-02.00.

Stayed here Saturday night (27 August) , brilliant friendly staff who couldn't do enough to help. Massive clean comfortable room .The food was not only fantastic but reasonably priced . We did have a car and had to use the ncp car park a few minutes walk away but with the discount voucher the hotel gave us it only cost us £12.40 for 25hrs ! Overall a fabulous experience in a great hotel that's centrally based - will definitely be making it our first choice for any return visits

So this pub likes to boast that its "family-friendly". But there's a downside to that - as our experience proved.One Saturday afternoon a friend and I stopped in there for a drink and a game of pool. There were two children on the pool table, boys around 10 or 11 years of old. Their mother had left them there and was drinking in the back. We left the boys to it and when we returned 15 minutes later they were still playing, so we put our money on the table and waited for them to finish. We noted that there was a sign saying a £10 deposit was required for the pool cues so, presuming they must have paid that, we offered to give them £10 for their cues when they had finished their game.The older one then piped up that it was "winner stays on". Okaaay... So, eventually, my friend played him - and beat him. All the time we were nice to the kids even though they were stroppy and mopey.So it was time for us to have our game, but the kid accused us of kicking off the table and went to tell his mum. We couldn't have been more civil with them. She tore in like a screaming banshee and started having a go at us for being nasty to her kids, which we hadn't been. The kids started talking about their "rights", in between bursting into tears. To make matters worse, two Mancunian do-gooders had now entered to keep saying "They're only kids... they're only kids" to us. Intermittently the woman screamed at us, the kids moaned, and the Mancs preached. Oh and the little barman popped in to see what was going on. My, it was such a joyful experience!Anyway, to sum up: we got unlucky - this appalling woman has brought up appalling, needy, righteous kids in her own image, and we had the misfortune to run into them. But the pub's policy of letting children in the pub (until 9pm) is a disastrous one, because things like this can happen. Kids are not conversant with pub etiquette or pool etiquette, and their presence can lead to problems, especially if they have a neglectful or dysfunctional parent.There's no way I'd ever return to this pub, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else either. In fact, the whole unpleasant incident has put me off Chester for life. It's funny how one bad incident can do that.

Some reservations when we first walked in and found the pub empty. Andy, the barman seemed very happy to see us. "Oh good, someone to serve and look after" I suspect were his thoughts. That's exactly what he did to best of his ability. We were not disappointed! Lovely food at very good value pricing. Check out our empty plates. Considering that we've lived in Chester for 16 years and never before frequented The Saddle Inn, I can safely say that we'll be back.

My sister and I stayed here during Chester Races season. It's in a great location in the centre of Chester. We were worried that there would be noise downstairs at the bar at night, but nothing. Great nights sleep. Wonderful and comfortable. I would definitely come and stay again and recommend here! Thanks!

This was a wonderful place to stay, I can't rate it highly enough! Lovely staff, so helpful and friendly, great food and drinks very reasonably priced and charming rooms. Me and my husband had a wonderful mini break here, the hotel is right in the centre of chester mere footsteps from countless restaurants, shops, bars and even the Roman amphitheatre and gardens. We loved staying here and will definitely be comming back again soon. A particular thank you to the Manager Tim, he really went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay, nothing was too much trouble.

Me and my girlfriend spent a night here for her birthday. Our room was nice (number 9) and the bed was comfy. The only issue with the room was the wobbly tap in the bathroom. We had lunch before checking in and the sandwiches are nice, we both had the BBQ chicken, cheese melt. The breakfast was really good and at £3 extra pp, is well worth it. We had a good night sleep but the nose from number 8 (2 girls) was ridiculous (especially at 4:30 in the morning when they came in drunk and put their TV back on, with the volume loud, there should be a curfew of midnight or something for to get back in) and the rooms aren't very well sound proofed at all. All in all it was a good stay and would defo book again and recommend to others.

Drinks with friends.Very nice old pub, sadly, no non alcoholic beer. Average prices. Has a pool table

For the room rate the place is very comfortable I would come here again. Close to the town so you can get about and see what Chester has to offer.No parking on site however the is a multi storey 3mins away. There is an arranged discount tho.Pub is quite nice although quiet. Good all rounder

Stayed this week Sunday till Wednesday as other half was on a course in Chester from work, room spacious and very clean, guys on the bar very helpful especially Tim on our arrival, as we were very early, good choice of beers and lagers and real ales, food good as well, would stay again
