Good value for money but don't buy the spaghetti bollonaise kids meal you get about 2 table spoon s of spaghetti and all I can describe as a weak thin gravy with minnute pin head size i guess meat ? All the answers were from staff we pointed out how disappointed it was . Well, it is the recommended calorie portion for a child other than that food was OK just re.ember at these pri es you are.not getting food prepared there there all bought in and ping meals the chicken and mushroom pie was very tasty but the top of the pie was like a concrete roof it was that hard

The staff here are great and always helpful efficient and very friendly. This used to be waiter service up until a few weeks ago. It's chaos now having to order at the bar. Queues are not orderly and can wait ages to be served. It's a shame staff moral has taken a bashing . The once happy and cheerful staff look so tired and flat. Think they have lost staff also. Thinking of going somewhere else for my weekly tea

Really nice pub and good food at good prices too. Some good old classics on the menu and the food we had was really nice and had that great grill smell on it. The pub was only let down by so many people smoking around the doors. The staff working when we visited were really good and helpful. A good pub and really well worth going. Car park is a bit small though so very hard to park at times and don't forget to check in with your registration number when entering else risk a big fine!

Went in for a coffee with a client and they gave me a parking ticket. From previous comments they've said phone them to dispute but they haven't answered the phone for weeks and show no sign of doing so. Disgraceful way to treat customers, won't be going back there again.

I had a mixed grill for some reason served on a fajitas plate Got given a 5oz steak instead of an 8oz which arrived medium when it was supposed to be rare, gammon stripped of it's fat , tiny bowl of fries , and all the food at the table came out at different times , the girls had Currys and they were missing poppadoms, and when did get them they were chewy , - worst place I've been too in ages, waiters have no clue what they are serving, trying to tell me a clear vinaigrette was balsamic and a steak the size of a chip is 8oz. Useless place and the last sizzling IL ever be going 2 - embarrassing

I visited The Whatsheaf a couple of weeks ago with a friend and I was so impressed that I decided to return and bring my wife for a meal before attending the Lanterns Light show at Chester Zoo. I cannot complain about anything. The chefs really know how to cook a steak, and the meat is top quality. My wife was more than happy with her fish and chips. The pub has a nice warm vibe to it, it is clean and comfortable. I would definately recommend The Wheatsheaf to friends to visit if they are in the area. We are actually from Northwich.

I had the chicken gyros & it was lovely. My partner had the burger & chips, he has had this at the Wheatsheaf previously & enjoyed it, however last night, apart from the outside edge, the burger was cold and red. The server asked us after she had put it down we were enjoying our meal, he told her and showed her the burger, he was offered a replacement, but as we did not have time to wait for another one to be cooked, nor did he want to be eating individually as I had done, we declined this.

Goodness, it was like going back in time with the prices of the food and drink, very reasonable and the food was very very good. For a cheap out you can't go wrong. The menu was awesome, so many fantastic options, the restaurant and bar area was really pleasant after recent refurb, some local pubs should look at how this place is run, they could learn something, I will be back and it's miles from where I live. Exceptional! Remember to add your car registration, you could get fined! My only gripe!

Visited the Wheatsheaf inn yesterday. And the meal was fabulous. And yes, sizzling hot. We have visited a few of these pubs over the past few months, and there appears to be a lot of variation in how the meals are cooked and presented. Some sizzle but a lot don't, and skin chips replaced with plain frozen chips But I'm glad to say the meal we had yesterday was really nice. It's just a shame that we don't live closer to this venue. But we will call again when in the area. Would fully recommend the Wheatsheaf and its staff.

This was our local Booked this for my Birthday meal with my toddler and friends Arrived 20 mins early so went to the bar to grab drinks Only to be informed by the man serving ‘children can’t be in the bar area’ so where do you sit if you want drinks as we are early for our table his response was ‘well kids can only be in the pub if you’ve booked a table ‘ which we had but we was early so where do we wait ‘ well it should be ready but kids can’t be in the bar area!’ Got seated and then the app wasn’t working unless you went outside for signal as WiFi system you’ve gotta sign up for Sky WiFi now System was then down again informed by the man at the bar and discount code not working via the app The host also repeated that children can’t be in the bar area So if you’ve not booked a table children can’t be in there with you. We’ve been going there for years and never had issues before But since refurb new management etc clearly this is not a pub for little ones / family’s with young children If it was not for my birthday I would of walked out Honestly was shocked with the service and their lack of customer service and the tone used toward customers. once food finally arrived no check backs, we eat and left Very unhappy birthday to me Not likely to go again

Visited The Wheatsheaf after a trip to nearby Chester Zoo. Food was fantastic - freshly cooked to perfection, piping hot and served quickly. All 4 of us enjoyed our meals immensely. My coffee was delicious, much better than the one I had at the Zoo and not overpriced. The service was just great, staff were genuinely friendly, helpful and attentive even bringing crayons for my daughter to do some colouring in while she waited. The pub was very well maintained, tidy and clean. Highly recommended, thank you.

Ordered takeaway whilst on lunch Got back to the office, and there were several items missing from the order. The burgers were wrapped in a foil/paper material, which led to the steam/condensation pooling at the bottom making the bun soggy/wet. 2 of the team who ordered the food had bad stomachs later on in the evening. Overall disappointed, won't be rushing back to order from here.

Visited for the first time this evening on a Monday eve. My wife, daughter, and myself sat in the restaurant, haven just turned up with no prior reservation. This was not a problem. We were met by a lovely welcoming lady who escorted us to a choice of tables. The lady was very attentive and we soon had our drinks and shortly after, our main meals. I had the mix grill, which was piping hot and absolutely lovely with a peppercorn sauce. My wife had a lovely gammon steak which she happily polished off and my daughter had the sausage and mash, which she also enjoyed. The meals were all very tasty and filling. We added 3 cokes, a side of chips and onionrings. The staff were helpful and informative regarding menue options and recommendations. The total bill was just short of £40 which I thought was very fair. There was a car park with an extension to the rear. Remember to register your car on the screen inside the restaurant for the free parking. The toilets were positioned upstairs and were clean. I would recommend this restaurant and will visit again when in the area. It is also very close to the zoo, which is very handy when visiting there.

Chiquito, Ellesmere Port – 4pm on a Wednesday (Tex-Mex meets Travelodge lobby) We visited Chiquito at 4pm, the mealtime equivalent of a shrug. Too late for lunch, too early for dinner — that strange hinterland where you question all your life choices and seriously consider ordering nachos as a personality trait. The restaurant was about a third full, mostly people quietly chewing in laminated booths under mood lighting set permanently to “dusk in a theme park.” Staff hovered with polite smiles and the low-level energy of people who’ve already been asked three times whether fajitas come with sour cream. Then there were the walls. The walls were a riot of painted cacti, sombreros, and fake hacienda charm. It’s the sort of décor that feels like someone described Mexico to a man who once went to Benidorm and then asked him to design a restaurant. There were lizards on the lampshades. LIZARDS. I half expected the waiter to shout “Olé!” and slide across the floor like a flamenco-themed fire drill. It felt less like dining in Mexico and more like visiting a Mexican-themed gift shop run by a bloke called Keith. I had the jackfruit enchiladas — which, to be fair, looked the part. Smothered in sauce, hidden under a duvet of melted cheese, they arrived piping hot and carrying the faint aroma of optimism. Jackfruit is a brave choice. It has the texture of pulled pork if you squint, but the flavour of damp optimism. Still, it worked — kind of. My wife had chicken burritos and described them as “alright,” which in marriage code translates roughly to: “Don’t ask me to elaborate.” Service was friendly but moved at the pace of a sleepy burro. Lovely people, just in no rush whatsoever. We were halfway through our mains before we even noticed we didn’t have cutlery. For a moment, I considered eating with my hands in tribute to ancient Mayan traditions, but then remembered I was in Ellesmere Port, not Tulum. Now, atmosphere-wise, it wants to be a fiesta. There are bright colours, themed cocktails, and a playlist that thinks Ricky Martin is the cultural pinnacle of Latin America. But it never quite lifts off. It’s like watching someone try to start a party with a kazoo and a bag of tortilla chips. Suggestions (from a self-appointed Fiesta Consultant): • Replace the lizards with live maracas. Or at least glue googly eyes to them. • Include a “Spice Roulette” menu — one enchilada is secretly filled with Scotch Bonnet hellfire. Make dinner exciting again. • Add a dramatic “Guac Table Service” where someone in a sombrero makes guacamole at your table while narrating their heartbreak in Spanish. • Hire someone to slowly strum a guitar in the corner and look wistfully into the distance, just to create that moody telenovela vibe. Final verdict? Not a bad meal. No disasters. No flavour epiphanies. It’s the kind of place where the food fills you up, the decor gives you something to stare at, and the drinks are probably stronger than they should be at 4pm on a school night. Exactly what it says on the tin. That tin may be made of papier-mâché and wearing a sombrero, but hey — it’s trying its best.

The service is outstanding I had a starter of the minted lamb and it was probably the best starter I’ve had , it even surpassed the any of the course I had at Gordon Ramsey 1890 at the savoy London . Very welcoming and friendly and relaxed atmosphere . Would defo recommend

This is a lovely down to earth pub. We always make a point of visiting the Marlborough when we're in Chester. The staff are always friendly and the lager was cold and refreshing. It makes a great change from all the formulaic and fake noisy places that are everywhere these days, long may it remain unspoiled.
