The Yew Tree Inn in Cheshire East

This is a really great pub to eat at . Service was first class Food was really really good food , fresh flavours , very tasty and great value. Not over priced , not rushed Great atmosphere

This is a lovely country pub, with great food and atmosphere. This is one of our favourite places to eat locally, the staff always make us feel really welcome.

Excellent Sunday roast in a proper country pub. Staff were friendly and inviting. Price was good for the quality as we have had many Sunday roasts at other restaurants in the area that are not a patch on this one. Would definitely return. I could tell they have regular customers from within the village who were rather annoying to listen to bragging to each other throughout our meal but I guess they are the regulars and that’s what keeps this lovely pub going. We will definitely recommend

Stumbled across this place by accident and glad we did. We had a lovely lunch here was so peaceful sat in the beer garden. We all really enjoyed our food , really well cooked and presented , great service and friendly staff. Loved the decor , will definitely return

This hidden gem just off the main road is a traditional village pub filled with hunting, memorabilia near to Spurstow. We dropped in on the off chance they might have a table for an early dinner. There were plenty of spaces which made it a little quiet to start with however, it soon became busy. The food was delicious mainly typical pub fare but good portion sizes. The staff were attentive and efficient.

Went here a few months ago and was slightly concerned about the amount of fox hunting paintings on the walls. I asked the management if they supported the local hunt, they said "no", but the awkwardness of their answer I suspected different. I went there for an early lunch yesterday (23rd December 2023), low and behold the local fox hunt were meeting there, so they lied to me. Avoid this place if you respect wildlife.

What a wonderful visit we have had to The Yew Tree. From the moment we were greeted by Sam as we entered the pub we knew we it was going to be a great afternoon. The fire was lit, the food was amazing and the service and atmosphere were just perfect.. a great start to our Christmas break, thank you

Searched for somewhere to eat tonight around Tarporley area and was so happy to stumble upon The Yew Tree Inn. Parking was easy, the atmosphere was lively but not overcrowded and not noisy, the surroundings were charming, the service was prompt and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. Came with no preconceived ideas and left thinking that's one we will definitely return to. It was excellent.

Delicious Sunday lunch today at the Yew Tree. Excellent and friendly service. Clean plates all round! Would highly recommend. Dog friendly and very welcoming

Lovely garden terrace. Fantastic menu and really gorgeous food. The staff are friendly. A real gem hidden in the beautiful Cheshire countryside. My only suggestions would be 1. The outside area bar should be stocked with drinks 2 live music once a week during the summer outside as would create a buzzy atmosphere. 3. Swings for children would attract more families.

We’ve been here a few times recently and have always received great service. A lovely country pub in a fabulous country setting. The outside area is lovely when the sun shines..

Excellent food and service - a pleasure. I can recommend the seabass which was presented in a wonderful sauce. We will be going back.

Met two friends for lunch. We found a quiet corner. All chose fish and chips. It was haddock and very palatable. Cheshire Cat ale in form as was Timmy Taylor's. Chip butty OK.

Lovely food, lovely inn. We were lucky enough to get a table outside in this lovely warm weather. Being a family I was a bit nervous being in such a lovely place but we were made to feel welcome. The mushrooms starter is to die for and will be back for that alone! Highly recommend the burgers too! Thank you for a great service

We visit this pub whenever we are in Cheshire for a day out. Always a good selection of ales and friendly atmosphere

We met up with some friends a couple of Sundays ago and decided to try The Yew Tree in Spurstow. it was a lovely pub and the staff were welcoming with lovely open fires. However after a time we did notice something. There were two male managers on that day. One we believe to be called Sam, and the other Pedro. Out of the two it was clear to see that Sam spoke to everyone equally, where as Pedro was selective and actually blanked some people who looked to be regulars. I have to say looking at their faces it did not go un noticed.

First visit and can’t wait to return. The service from the lovely girls was impeccable they couldn’t do enough And the food from the starter to dessert was 100% hot tasty and delicious Great experience x

Went for dinner here last night and thought the whole meal excellent. The chips were amazing and worth having on their own! The staff were lovely and friendly and the whole ambience was just right. Def will return.

Another excellent meal in this friendly and inviting pub. Tried the new vegetarian curry this time and it was delicious. The fires were lit and the staff were as welcoming and efficient as ever. Highly recommend.

My wife and I have recently moved to Tiverton and love the variety of pub choices. We feel that The Yew Tree is by far the best. It is warm and welcoming. Good food, well kept real ales , very friendly staff and with great outside space too. An absolute gem. Well done Sam and his team

Just had to take the time to write a quick review about the yew tree, we arranged to meet some friends for an annual post Christmas get together, 15 of us in total a mix of couples and small children, we spent a few hours locally and I’d booked a table the day previously, on arrival we we’re greeted and shown though to our own private dining area! Perfect! We spent 3 hours there in total, food, drinks and deserts. No issues, all food arrived hot and together, we had a wonderful afternoon and felt really happy and comfortable whilst there. Thankyou.

It has been a while since we have visited the Yew Tree. We are so glad that we made the effort. Each of our party of four was served a first rate meal of high quality and presentation. The staff were most welcoming and helpful; the pub itself retains all the great features of a classic village hostelry, including blazing open fires. We can thoroughly recommend the Yew Tree as an outstanding Cheshire pub.

The Yew Tree goes from strength to strength and is now, in our opinion, the best pub in the area (and there is some stiff competition!). The beer is very well kept, with both Cheshire Cat and Timmy Taylors regularly on draft and the pub...

We are very fond of the Yew Tree and visited recently to see how it is getting on post-lockdown. The good news is that the service is still warm and friendly and the food is even better than before - they are updating the menu...

Booked this for dinner by telephone as their online booking service said there was no availability and we couldn’t find anywhere else in the area. Overall we were very pleased with our choice - food quality was good with the nibbles and starters, squid with coconut and a beetroot and apple salad, being described as excellent and heavenly. Service was both friendly and efficient without being intrusive. Prices were reasonable. Only downside was the noisy and crowded bar area just next to where we were sitting and it was obvious that all the care that was taken with Covid precautions for restaurant users didn’t apply to the bar area and its Friday night drinkers

No social distancing, not COVID safe. The one way system meant we had to walk past men stood at the bar drinking one of them I believe was the owner, waitresses not wearing masks

We booked a table at the Yew Tree on what must be the hottest day of the year!!! We understand social distancing etc but on arrival were told no available tables outside. Ok benefit of the doubt people arriving after us must have asked to be seated outside. If that is the case it would have been nice to be given the option in booking. However one cannot but wonder if it’s not what you know rather than who you know!! I really cannot fault the food at the Yew Tree, what we had was excellent. Unfortunately having decided to take the chancellor’s offer of half price food I was absolutely astounded to be charged £19.00 for two large glasses of wine!!!!! I expect these prices in London but not in the village of Bunbury where I have never paid this extortionate price before!! In case people think this s sour grapes I have lived in this village for 34 years and support all the businesses here but will not be taken advantage of!!

It's great to find a restaurant that serves tasty vegetarian food. I had the cauliflower dish, pic attached. Staff were friendly and it was reasonably priced. I will be back!

Amazing food (handmade steak pie is amazing as is the sticky toffee pudding!) the pub is very friendly, very clean and cosy and the staff are very professional. Love the outdoor bar area as it is very quiet in the countryside and a lovely place to unwind. Highly recommended.

Excellent service and fantastic food. Warm welcome and plenty of measures taken to social distance. Sharing platter very generous and more than enough for two (see picture) Thanks Sam, Ped and team.

We had been here a while ago and the food was delicious. I couldn't actually remember what the pub was called but knew roughly where it was! We actually ended up going to the Dysart Arms last week thinking that was the one, but it wasn't. (Food is MUCH MUCH better here)!!!!!!! We both had the steak pie with chips. Best chips I have had in a long time. The pie as well was absolutely beautiful. Melt in your mouth, not chewy at all and the pastry was not heavy and sickly. The gravy tasted so flavoursome like they had actually used vegetables, herbs extra and not just bisto! We were really impressed and would definitely come here again. The beer garden was lovely in the sun. Staff and service also lovely :-)

Called at the Yew tree for a drink and decided to have a Sunday roast. It was nicely presented but some of the veg was luke warm (mash and carrots) also beef was too rare.We were disappointed with the food and probably won't return for a while. On a positive note staff where really nice and friendly

Thank goodness the Yewie has re-opened and with the extra surprise of a superb new menu. The head chef Derren has put a great new menu together and they’ve clearly been practising the preparation as we’ve been twice since re-start and the food was superb both times. The baby squid is seriously gourmet and cheap at half the price and the main courses won’t disappoint. You’re sure of a warm welcome by Sam and/or Ped and Emily runs a very efficient bar with a great selection of lagers and cask ales. Get there soon!

My wife and I visited for an early dinner on Saturday evening and the staff found us a lovely table despite not booking ahead. The starters (pate and whitebait) were lovely and the main course (locally produced beef and ale pie) was delicious with lots of gravy on the side. There’s an ample range of well kept real ale and a huge selection of lagers with lots of wines to choose from. The owners (Sam & Peter) clearly have a passion for excellence and the staff (special mention for the very lovely Emily) are well trained and attentive. Great pub and excellent value so would recommend without question.

My wife and I had Sunday lunch at the Yew Tree Inn at Bunbury. The meal was really excellent as was the service. Everyone, including the patrons were very friendly, What a great place to go for a meal or just a drink.

Friendly staff, prompt service and food that is good value for money - especially the kids menu.This was our first visit and we were pleased with the portions, presentation and taste. The menu appeared to cater for most tastes but, despite the majority of our party having the Sunday lunch, the description of the remainder of the food was very limited and perhaps needed more detail to help diners to choose.Overall a good experience and we would consider returning in the future.

I came in for my 28th birthday meal the service was outstanding. Ce-Ce the waitress was amazing with our table. I can highly recommend the yew tree and will 100% be returning. Thank you for an amazing night and making my birthday special thanks to Ben Allon Plastering for an amazing job of the fireplace and being so welcoming. Thanks to Pedro for being for the Amazons service !!!

We visited this pub local to us on Friday 17th for a family birthday.Unfortunately we clashed with the Pecforton shoot who took over the car park and the pub. If you enjoy a rowdy experience with loud Hooray Henry's then this was the night for you. Unfortunately I don't and clashed with one extremely rude man who had parked badly and was very sarcastic as I tried to park.There was only one chef on apparently and whilst the food was ok- the chips were different sizes and therefore some were cooked and some weren't.It needs some tweaking and controlling the drunken bums would be great.Perhaps if you are going you should phone and check they aren't there as I have heard good reviews but we obviously went in the wrong night.I have emailed the pub but as yet have not had a reply.Pity as this could be our local but there is a less rowdy option.....

The service in the yew tree Arms Bunbury is absolutely amazing brilliant atmosphere the bar staff are always happy,have loads of energy, enthusiastic and love making customers happy, I love coming into this pub and will continue coming thankyou for making my experience so amazing

Lovely country pub with an open fire. Traditional pub menu nothing too fancy but hearty meals and good portions. I went for the Steak pie and chips and my partner had burger and chips, both were really good. Service was good and the Best Bitter went down a treat!

Booked fairly last minute and was accommodated in the bar area. Food was good and service was also very good. A good selection of real ales also on tap made it a very pleasant experience.

Husband & I went with a friend midweek ,I can only comment on our two meals We ordered chicken ,chips & veg The chicken ok but very small,the veg especially the carrot / swede were just warm & the chips definitely hadn’t been cooked fresh ,They were more like greasy slices of potatoe,Very disappointing,We did visit earlier in the year on a Sunday & the meal was very good,Yes will visit again,but on a Sunday .

The Yew Tree has had a turbulent history but, like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, it is now a truly splendid pub in a lovely village. For drinkers, the beer is excellently kept, there is an interesting gin menu and the wine list is improving. The pub has a warm and welcoming atmosphere with log fires and the odd Labrador or two and some nice sitting areas (although it is annoying when people stand by the door!). The food is good - pretty standard fare, but well cooked and presented, and decent value. The bar snacks deserve a mention of their own too - they are great.And finally thank you to the staff - Sam, Peter, Holly and Emily (and others) - who worked so hard to make our recent visit so enjoyable.Will we return? Just try and stop us...!!

Had an amazing meal delicious and fantastic quality. Service was great friendly informative and attentive. The pub has had a beautiful makewover which gives a lovely atmosphere

Went with my husband & friend for Sunday lunch yesterday October 20th,We had a great lunch ,the food & service were excellent.Just one thing I would have liked my beef cooked a little more but that’s just my personal choice .The sweets were delicious.Really enjoyed the time we spent there and would definitely return.

We had an excellent evening meal. The menu is not large, but there were plenty of options to choose from. It's really good, well cooked pub grub. My husband had the smoked haddock mornay. The fish was beautifully cooked. I had the burger. I hadn't read the menu properly and so didn't realise that it was two patties, so I couldn't finish it. It came with properly had cut chips which were lovely. We couldn't fault the price and the portions are more than generous. I couldn't eat anything else, but my husband had the vanilla cheesecake which was light and fluffy. Wine and beer were both very good. The staff are very friendly and attentive. We couldn't fault the service.

First visit to the Yew Tree today and we enjoyed fabulous roast beef with the best Yorkshire puddings ever! Delicious puddings followed and we enjoyed friendly, relaxed but excellent service. We will be back very soon! Can't recommend this place highly enough. Thank you!

Called in here on our way home from South Wales. Thought we we would be to late for lunch but the staffe welcomed us. The food was very goog and the service excellent. I always judge a restaurant by it's staff, and the staff here were very god, friendly and efficient. A very nice Sunday Lunch.

First visit and all of us impressed. Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Food really good. A most enjoyable visit for family get together.

In the picturesque village of Bunbury, you can find fine wines, traditional beers, and quality home cooked food, in this beatiful village pub called The Yew Tree. It is the favourite place among the locals and a great place to spend an afternoon or evening in a cosy and relaxed atmosphere. The building is a 19th century free house.

Popped in late Sunday afternoon to catch up with our family. Had a lovely time so thought we’d give the Sunday Roast a try, turned out to be an excellent decision . Can honestly say best pub roast we’ve had in a longtime. Beautul starters ox cheek croquettes, and then a fabulous Roast Beef dinner, meat was fabulous, beautiful veg and gravy to die for. Well done Sam, Pete and team. The Yew Tree is well on its way to where it belongs.... number 1

Lovely pub, ( the doors to the bathrooms were unusual and a good talking point) very friendly welcome and although we didn't eat on this occasion the menu and the food looked very good

Thankfully the Yewie has re-opened after a tasteful makeover and with Sam and Ped providing the continuity. Pleasantly surprised by the excellent range of beers and a fine selection of wines and spirits. Visited on the inaugural Saturday lunch session and had a mix of generously portioned nibbles: drumsticks, whitebait and goats cheese bon-bons. I had a delicious beef pie & chips (no skimping on the meat!) and my wife had a fish finger butty. Sensibly the menu has been limited whilst in the start-up phase but there’s a good choice of dishes suitable for both lunch and dinner and please to see so much of the menu sourced from local producers. As I said the portions are generous without compromising quality so no room for a dessert - maybe next time as we’ll definitely be back!

Visited The Yew Tree on the opening night under new management last Friday. It was great to see the pub packed with locals keen to support the pub on its reopening. Love what they've done with the place. Can't wait to return to sample the new menu in the new few weeks.

Unfortunately closed again This is not the first time in just a few years - just to much competition in the area with only a certain number of people wishing to dine - shame as they tried very hard - needs a specialty restaurant.

Having dined at the Yew Tree a couple of years ago, decided to try again on this visit.

We booked a table for dinner with friends one Saturday evening. We were shown to our table and given menus. The first thing we were told was that there was no sea bass. Then the waitress returned to say there was no steak either! This meant the mixed grill was not available either, it was a small menu to start with and no specials board which didn't leave us with a lot of choice. The rose wine we chose was not chilled. Two of us chose cod, which was tiny when it arrived on a bed of greens, it looked like a child's portion and cost £14.95. My friend chose a pie, which came on a plate with greens, but no chips or potatoes, and when she asked about it, she was told she would have to pay extra!! We all thought this was terrible, especially as it was £13.95, and the chips would have been another £3.50! we said we were not happy about that and she was brought a bowl of fries for no extra cost. I should think so!! The food was good and tasty but these other issues spoiled the evening. We all expected it to be better. Wouldn't go again.

We were staying nearby and decided to call in for a spot of lunch, the owners are lovely and so friendly - the food is amazing! The minted peas with the fish was a nice changed compared to normal mushy peas! Would deffo come again when I’m next in that area!

Called in for quick lunch for my wife. Excellent friendly and efficient staff made us very welcome. A good range of casks beers from Weetwood together with Timothy Taylor’s Landlord which was excellent. My wife ordered a simple dish of fish and poached egg on spinach. What she received was a masterclass of how to cook fish, she loved it.

A new place today for lunch. Nice little country pub. A lot bigger inside than it looks from outside. Seated quickly as it was quiet. Chose a nice little table by the patio doors as it was a pleasant day. The lady member of staff that looked after us throughout was so lovely. I had a steak pie with chips peas and kale and my father had salmon. He said the salmon was nice. My meal tasted very nice indeed. The gravy however was like water and the pie was disappointing as it only had three little cubes of beef in it. The rest was carrots. I would have called it carrot pie with a bit of beef. The taste was nice and the chips were nice. A cheese board to finish looked very nice. I didn’t partake but there was Plenty I would say for two people. Nice place to visit because of staff.

This is our local & it’s been amazing since it re opened & was at its best when Sam took over just before Christmas. Sadly with them being told to leave it’s gone completely down hill with no atmosphere, staff all leaving & very quiet sadly the wrong decision was made. - wouldn’t recommend now.

Things have been a bit high and miss at the Yew Tree, but this weekend the Sunday lunch was superb. Great value 2 or 3 set courses and children’s menu. The Sunday lunches were how Sunday lunches are supposed to be. Great meat, lovely sides and vegetables and different gravy for different meats. Lovely service too. It’s back to how it should be food wise.

Even though we live a good 80 miles away we always love coming here on a warm summers day ! It's a super little country pub, tucked away down a little country road. It's a bit of a hidden gem, never too busy ! We always enjoy sitting out in the garden, enjoying a pint of local ale or a gin ! We've had food here on a couple of occasions and can't fault it, whether it's a Sunday roast or a sandwich or some sharing nibbles they have never disappointed. Such a great pub !

Stopped on the off chance today for lunch. No one else was in the pub, which was surprising. The two ladies one serving and one at the bar were really friendly and made us feel so welcome. I had a delicious club sandwich with fries and my husband had small portion fish and chips which look delicious too. It was not quite warm enough to sit outside but on a summers lunchtime or warm evening it would be a nice place to have a drink. We will be back with our children.

after my first review almost a year ago, the Yew tree has a new owner. It is the owner of Chester Racecourse. Initially Chloe was the manager, but was let go just before Christmas 2018 after her probation period. Told she did not have what is needed to take the business further and they need someone new to move it on. A fantastic decision was made to recruit Sam! He is people friendly and has a great rapport with the customers. He turned the pub around and it became a busy country pub with a great atmosphere. People followed him from other pubs in the area and business was on the up. We had a massive shock, when we went on Saturday 13th April, we were told that he too had been let go!! A note to the business owner, you may know how a Chester city pub runs, you have a lot more foot fall with tourists , but you do not get the same volume in the country. You can't make people eat if they don't want to. Sam promoted the new menu and the chef is very good at his job. I feel that you have just taken the heart out of the Yew Tree. Time will tell if the business improves or fails.

Called in late Monday afternoon for a meal in a place that we hadn't visited for several years. Very surprised that it wasn't busy on a lovely day but we gave it a try. Service was very friendly and helpful. The menu is fairly wide and we were delighted to see the offer of two people being able to order 2 courses with one eating free, this is Monday only but a great deal. Food was fresh and very well cooked. Steak and ale pie was particularly good. Drinks were also on a 20% reduction for "happy hour" ,again by a fortunate chance, so we left very happy. Happily by the time we left the place was becoming busier as it is an excellent local pub that deserves to succeed.

Called in on the off chance although very busy we got a table, food was scrumptious staff lovely locals very friendly great night out

I go back a few years with this place where it was a nice country pub but it had many landlords that ran it into the ground and no clear identity.

Since here some 3 years ago the place has been renovated and clearly much attention has been paid to the decor, comfort and services. Friendly welcome, very good beer selection, well kept and served, there's nothing not to like about the place. Sadly we didn't get to road test the food this trip but the menu looked good and I'll be keen to sample it next time around. Well worth visiting.

Comfortable, friendly country pub serving excellent hearty food. The staff are young and very pleasant, serving good quality food in a cosy environment with real fires.

We called here for lunch whilst we were out for a drive and after reading the reviews and having a voucher for 50% off food , we thought we would give it a try.

We visited The Yew Tree on our way to Peckforton Castle and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch there. Service and food were both excellent, particularly the chicken liver parfait, which was amazing. The moules and frites was superb, with the best and most garlicky sauce we have ever tasted. The pub is tastefully decorated, but the absence of a disabled access toilet is very disappointing, especially as the main toilet is totally unsuitable for wheelchair users. All in all a very enjoyable experience, and one we will definitely repeat when we are in the area again
