The York Roast Co in Cheshire West and Chester

Food was very nice, it was hot and fresh! We asked the staff member what her recommendation was as we had a little fussy eater with us, Leah suggested a turkey sandwich which went down very well so thank you very much will definitely visit again

Very lovely customer service the two younge ladies on shift were so polite and very fun to talk to . The wraps have to be my new favourite thing to get in chester .

Had our taste buds drooling when we looked through the window at the meat, potatoes etc but sadly failed to live up to expectations in our apartment. For some reason the Yorkshire pudding had been substituted with a rather dull bread roll in which the meal was contained. Will try again when we visit again

This was the first time we had encountered The York Roast Co and we weren’t disappointed. My daughter has severe allergies and we always have a nightmare eating out but this was just the ticket and who does not love a good roast! It was also great to find something quintessentially British in Chester with so many other cafe and boutique restaurants offering continental and other world fare it was nice to see something which represented ye olde Chester. The staff were friendly and accommodating and made you feel welcome and the food - well it was like your Grandma’s Sunday lunch, good quality food, well cooked and delicious. We would definitely recommend!

We bought Yorkshire pudding dinners from here .The roast potatoes were inedible,hard and brown inside.They were very bad .Meat portions were very small too. We politely let the staff know that they needed to throw out all the potatoes as they were so poor. They all nodded so they definitely heard us however 30 minutes later we walked past and the same inedible potatoes were still in the window waiting to be served. Not good at all from those staff.

Amazing customer service.. amazing food order 4 meals and a wrap and all my family really enjoyed it could not ask for more delicious and fast lunch

Meat tender and tasty but wooden cutlery dangerously poor quality & carton should have been a plate especially when paying £60!!

Looking at Yorkshire Roast through the window in Chester the food looks very appealing. We went inside due to the weather, going down the stairs to the dining area which was rather steep and needed some TLC. The food arrive in cardboard boxes with wooden knife and fork which were not very good for eating. The staff were good and the food was disappointing.

Lovely place , the employees r so nice , and amazing food , the roast wrap is definitely my favourite thing now , and being able to pick any way u want your roast is nice.

Good hot tasty food at a great price choices of meats of veggie mains and lots of sandwiches/wraps and sides. Only down side was wooden knives and forks that didn't cut the food too well. Served by Kaiesha and Leah heat service, bright and bubbly

Lovley staff . And food was right on point served by daz and leah. Would come again !! Everything was amazing and the environment was nice and clean.

Found this cage on a wander through Chester. Lovely food and great Yorkshire Tea. Served by Karesha and Leah. Nice service and setting. Food great.

Went to this lovely place for lunch was beautiful will be back again! We tried the wraps they where fab, my new fav place to eat

Small shop, but well well-cleaned and quiet. Had a Yorkshire pudding wrap with some gravy and vegetables, where the latter was a bit thick and not cooked properly. Overall great taste for a good price

I absolutely loved this place! I wasn't sure what to order, but the friendly staff member who was taking my order was very patient. I ordered a yorkshire pudding wrap however I asked if I could remove some of the ingredients I didn't like. My wrap came out quickly and exactly as I ordered. It was one of the best things I have ever eaten!

Me and my partner both had the turkey Yorkshire pudding wraps. They were so tasty and plenty of fillings, customer service was brilliant very friendly and a quick service! Would definitely recommend

Amazing little spot for a little bite to eat, I had the new Xmas wrap was lovely my partner had beef. Staff were fab, wish they did full fat coke and not the diet rubbish. Will be back

Popped in here for a quick bite to eat as a Saturday lunch on a day trip to Chester. Frankly the food is a sorry excuse for a roast dinner. God knows what foreign tourists must think of our great national dish. We ordered two roast beef Yorkshire pudding wraps and a side (paper cup) of roast potatoes. The beef was sparse but not offensive in itself, however the seemingly tinned vegetables and stuffing (with beef?) were. The potatoes were made soggy by the cup of gravy which they had perished in, not crispy in the slightest. The wrap itself was ok and gravy not bad though I’d take an educated guess that it was made from granules. With two soft drinks our bill was £25, the wooden knifes and forks are complimentary. Avoid if you like decent food, metal cutlery and meals served on a plate.

The Yorkshire pudding wraps are amazing highly recommend this place! The staff give a friendly service

Really enjoyed our first ever visit very recently and food was at our table minutes after ordering. Our whole family loved their food and the yorkie pud wrap was amazing! It’s a perfect place to go for a pit stop if you are shopping in a hurry.

WOW the yorkshire pudding wrap was amazing, we got the Turkey & Ham Yorkshire Pudding wrap with stuffing, roast potatoes, veggies, gravy and cranberry sauce. As well as the Beef Roast Dinner which came in a giant Yorkshire pudding. Wow. This was insane too! And we went on a glorious day and sat outside and enjoyed this in the sun - it was all just perfect!

Brilliant food, fast friendly service and served fast. Very very nice meal and I just wish they had an outlet near me. Can't fault the place

I came in because I was really craving a turkey sandwich, staff we so welcoming and very easy to talk to , the turkey was so moist and it looked and tasted amazing , so happy and thankful for my food and am very happy with the quality off customer service.

Food was really lovely. Beef was nicely cooked and plenty of filling. Was quite surprised how good it tasted. Staff very friendly.

Such a lovely atmosphere, staff are so welcoming and friendly, you can tell they put alot off effort into making your experience as pleasant as possible, from were I was sat you could see all staff were making sure the area is as clean as...

Absolutely awful,paid for larger bap portion couldn’t taste anything only the bread as hardly any filling on it a disgrace for the price.

really dissapointed have been here before a few times. this time they now dont sell crackling with the pork sandwiches which is very odd as the pork in the window has crackling on it!!!! the barm cakes are half the size they were and they...

Generally I would echo the review below. It’s very poor. They pull two bits of gristly meat out of a drawer and plonk it on a soggy Yorkshire which seems not to home made. Primarily the issue is it’s very difficult to eat with the...

Bland food, stupid high sided box to eat from and plastic cutlery that snaps easily. Staff seem basically uninterested and despite them serving a roast dinner no Butter is available even to buy. Food far too salty too. How many average or poor reviews need...

Wonderful cosy little place, lacks options for kids but what really can they give a kid in roast place. Service was wonderful would go again

Does not cater for coeliacs other than the gravy! Very poor and limited choice of food of what should be a a naturally gluten free food choice. They even go to the trouble of itemising the gravy as gluten free on their menu, when I...

I was served by a young lady who pulled the meat from under the counter didn't touch the meat in the window it looked like a normal cupboard she was storing the meat in probably why you get a bad stomach afterwards I had the...

Popped in for a beef bap. Cannot fault the service and pleasant, helpful staff of Jess and Charlie. Lovely baps too

Sounds inviting. It really isn't. Staff unacknowledged anyone waiting, we stood for 10 mins without ordering. It was like no one was waiting to be served Both women behind counter had zero customer communication skills. The basics. Untidy in area where you are to be...

Me and my friend came here earlier and to say it was a disappointment is an understatement. My beef York wrap was dry and chewy and my friend had a pork wrap and that was the same. The wraps didn’t come with all the trimmings...

Went in here for a giant Yorkshire pudding wrap after finishing the Chester Marathon. They’d ran out of giant Yorkshire puddings so I couldn’t get one. In the end I opted for the beastie roast turkey. It arrived and I have to say it was...

Stopped here for a quick bite as nothing like this in our area. We had a giant Yorkshire pudding wrap. Meat, veg and potatoes inside. Could have done with a bit more gravy but we really enjoyed our food. Prices were pretty good for what...

RAW MEAT. Got a beastly pork sandwich returned it and had a new one that was fine, was explained it wasn’t raw but you could see it was red in the middle, was told it was cooked over night Ov staff new more training on...

So we went to chester and we were really hungry so we just wondered around and we found a place called the THE YORKSHIRE AND. C.O. We looked in the window and seen delicious meat so we eaten there. We had the Yorkshire meal (...

Decided to have a Turkey beastie bap which sounded delicious, how disappointed was I. It says you get 50% more meat if you order a beastie, I dread to think how much meat you'd get if you didn't have a beastie. There were 3 slices...

Give this place a miss. Arrogant manager making sarcastic comments about his customers to deliveroo drivers. Poor service, shockingly bad sandwiches lacking in flavour. Seems impossible to make such a poorly prepared snack that was so bland. But hey these guys succeeded. Plenty of great...

Visited Chester for a day out and decided to try the York Roast sandwiches for lunch. Pork for my better half, beef for me. While the young girl serving was very pleasant, that’s more than I can say for the sandwiches. The meat (in fact...

Just eating my sandwich - frozen bread cakes and hard stuffing balls. Food very cold too. Wouldn’t recommend. Restaurant dirty too. Incredibly disappointedly meal experience.

Visited Chester today for some clothes shopping the only regret was ordering a regular pork burger with stuffing,apple sauce and crackling. The stuffing was dry and crusty the apple sauce was a little blob on one side and the pork OH the pork was so...

Had a turkey wrap very bland taste not nice also had roast potatoes with gravy and they were cold. Will not return

Thought this sounded a good place to eat some traditional food but ended up very disappointed. Ordered a roast meal and it arrived in a cardboard box with plastic cutlery. Very basic taste, not much to recommend it. Staff seemed to be going through the...

The most ignorant staff, there were 2 young girls on the counter, we had been looking at the food available and decided to try it as it looked inviting, but, when we walked in the door my wife asked the 2 girls if there was...

We wanted to have lunch here today , the counter part of the shop was empty so my husband walked in to see if there was a table, he was hailed with a hey you there’s no seating available we’re full, we could clearly see...

Visited yesterday, ordered Turkey with Cranberry and stuffing. So disappointed, tiniest amount of cranberry sauce and Turkey and a huge ‘lump’ of stuffing. Extremely dry and tea cake just broke up whilst eating. My friend had the beef and hers was the same. Not worth...

Where do I start. Popped into the Chester shop for a Yorkshire pudding meal which I was very much looking forward to. The member of staff was very unfriendly, no, in fact she was down right miserable. She didnt want to accept an old style...

Lovely food but the staff were very slow and didn't seem to know what they were doing. It was all a bit chaotic but well worth going as the roast was lovely, even if the place was crowded and noisey.

We called in today for a quick bite to eat as we are staying in Chester for a couple of nights. We have eaten at the York chain on a number of occasions and love it. However, this place was really disappointing. The sandwich was...

Wish I'd read the reviews before i ate here. Tastless and waste money, dry and boring.. staff uninterested.

Today I had an utterly terrible experience at this place and will NEVER return. My partner went in to order as I stood outside with the pram. He ordered a pork and stuffing roll for himself and a Yorkshire pudding meal with turkey for me....

Visited yesterday for the first time as had heard good things about the food. As I attempted to enter the shop my daughter who was in front of me told me get out quickly as she had been told to "wait outside as she was...

Having seen the other branches in York decided to try the Chester shop out. Upon entering was shouted at to wait outside, could only enter when the counter was empty. Entered gingerly, expecting to be told off again. Ordered one pork sandwich with everything and...

Having longed to go back having visited a number of years ago and having a memorable pork roast that I've raved about ever since we decided to make a 100 mile detour on our way to Scotland, Well I wish we hadn't bothered! First thing...

There is so much choice for a quick lunch in Chester but we chose this because the sound of a pork bap with all the extras sounded tempting. I have to say that we were not disappointed at all with the food,which was not at...

Yorkshire pudding wrap didn’t disappoint & the staff were super friendly. It was busy but we didn’t mind waiting as that meant it was going to be good!

I used to love getting a Yorkshire pudding wrap when myself and my wife visited Chester. We visited today and all I could think about is getting my wrap. However, to my disappointment the quality of meat and the vegetables were nowhere near what it...

Poor value - a rip off. From the window, the roasts look inviting - but what you get is not a lot of meat and everything is extra. The Yorkshire pudding was soggy, the gravy glutinous and artificial, the veg over cooked and potatoes reheated...

Not brilliant. Visited previously and fine but this visit in August 2021 was poor, mainly due to inexperienced staff. Ordered a turkey wrap and a beef sandwich. Had to wait outside while they served more people and shout 'ready' when your turn is to go...

Our today’s experience in this shop was terrible. The staff is rude with no customer skills whatsoever. Without track and trace you won’t get serve. Foods terrible, you get better roast with a Yorkshire puddings in any pub for half the price. And they charge...

On passing this establishment the window display was very tempting and decided to give it a try. It was a glorious day and there were tables outside, my wife took a seat and I entered to order. The server was not to interested but eventually...

We called in today to get some food with out two children. It was bland and not much taste to it at all. We ordered a side of toast potatoes and they were more like boiled ones, again bland and mushy. It’s such a shame...

This establishment has an amazing shop window with very inviting joints of roast meats on hot plates in the window. Its a place your order and wait for it and then sit down on the outdoor seating to eat or you can takeaway. Two stars...

Seeing a lovely pork roast in the shop window made me want to have some. We chose the Yorkshire Pudding Meal, thinking it would be a regular roast dinner on a plate and we sat inside. What we each got was a cardboard box containing...

I'm surprised at the recent reviews suggesting the Yorkshire pudding wraps aren't tasty - I thought they were delicious. Dare I say it though, it probably isn't a good idea eating one in the heat. I think I'd have enjoyed mine more in a cold,...

We visited here on a trip to Chester. We'd heard about these Yorkshire pudding wraps and how good they were supposed to be so stopped here for lunch one afternoon. Unfortunately for us, we won't be rushing back. We had the beef Yorkshire pudding wraps...

Food was nice I thought , really enjoyed it .Hot and fresh .But the main man in charge on the counter was just so rude , intimidatingly so .Snapping , not smiling. He looked so angry too .I didnt take it personally because he seemed...

Was super excited to try a yorkie wrap after all the hype but SO disappointed. The veg and gravy tasted off/funny and was just disappointing all round.

No effort put into the food, gravy tasted odd, roast potatoes had been warmed up multiple times. I was really disappointed spending 30 quid on 3 bites of cold food, I’ve woken up the next morning with my girl and we’ve both been throwing up...

Had a pork bap and a turkey bap. Would have been so much more enjoyable if there was more sauce put on ! It was so dry it felt like we were forcing ourselves to eat it. If a little more care had been taken...

On Saturday I was having a little cigarette when a gentleman in black asked for my lighter. I was in Chester just off the Main Street when a a man had asked me to use my lighter upon seeing me light up my cigarette. I declined due to him being too close to my personal space and I didn’t want anyone approaching me too close without a mask on. Which he didn’t have. He then called me a ‘dumb fool’ and then said something else along those lines afterwards. He then walked into the York Roast Company afterwards (so it must have been his break) and then started serving people with his mask on. Safe to say I will not be going in now after being treated like that by a member of staff. I do not normally leave bad reviews but I felt like this was needed.

We each had a pork bap - there was plenty of pork along with a little apple sauce and stuffing - and a small piece of crackling. Pork was of good quality and as I said before there was plenty of it in a large...

We chose this place to eat as we could eat outside with a 5 table and a 4 table as a family group. The roast meat and veg and Yorkshire pudding was available as a Yorkshire wrap, a roast dinner or a sandwich. You could...

Food was delivered fast (20mins) and was an ok temp when it arrived, would like the option of what veg goes into the wraps as I really dislike onions and the green beans and it was packed with them so I had to unwrap and...

Wanted something quick looked in and looked popular so thought we would try. Excellent only disappointment was the scratching seeing bags of them on top shelf in store room. Beenbetter crackling fresh off the meat. Otherwise couldn't fault.

Called in on Sunday 23rd Feb after visiting numerous times before, we thought we knew what to expect. Today, the beef was dry - plenty of it but very dry and not as tasty as usual. My husbands pork was cold. It looked like it...

Our boys loved it here, they had pork scratchings with stuffing and gravy and they thought it was great. Not a huge seating area however most customers more than likely take away. We sat down and had a nice cuppa whilst the boys snacked. Something...

This looks great from the outside and to be fair the meat was good. However the Yorkshire pudding was soggy and tasteless. It’s really a takeaway place as the inside is just some tables jammed together and everything is served as takeaway. Including ending up...

Tasty good value roast meat sandwiches or with a Yorkshire pudding or as a small roast dinner. Located in the centre of Chester. Seating limited.

Visiting here is a must for us when we visit chester. It never disappoints and it always sets you up for the day!We had the festive Yorky-puds and they were delicious! Eating them can be a bit messy so be careful but they are brilliant. Also the Yorkshire tea somehow always tastes even better from here!

We’ve walked past here quite a few times and it’s always been busy so one Friday we decided to call in , we were there about 11.00 and it wasn’t that busy , we ordered the food and sat down inside . It is very small inside with not much seating , not long after our food turned up and to be fair it was really nice so too were the staff . After reading some of the reviews you probably wouldn’t bother but sometimes you just have to visit places for yourself. It really is good value for money. If I could fault it it would be plastic cutlery, trying to cut the roasties is a chore but will definitely return . Keep up the good work

On the face of it, a hot roast beef sandwich on a cold winters day sounded like the perfect antidote to the hunger created from walking 5 miles around beautiful Chester. The promise of sizzling hunks of meat, glazed and moistened by hot fat, whilst served by smiling staff, eager to assist and help you enjoy your rare weekend of non-work in beautiful Chester was the reason we were happy to wait. The truth? A 25 minute queue in a cramped, grumpy line of people unsure who behind the counter were servers, cleaners, jobless, or homeless. It did however provide entertainment as I watched the girl cutting the meat take off her glove to wipe her nose, clearly food hygiene training wasn’t wasted there. The food order was eventually taken, clarified, and then a further 10 minutes were spent watching the staff and wondering how on earth it was possible to move so slowly. On arrival, and having fought our way out of the shop, eager to unwrap this delightful treat, we discovered that one order was correct, the other however was not. Tasty, but woefully dry, without the additions we’d paid for. My granny would say “it filled a hole”, my Nanna would say “waste of money”, I would say, “never again”.

Excursión de un día a Chester y quería algo rápido y sencillo para el almuerzo, pero en un día de invierno frío queríamos comer dentro.Parecía ser bastante popular para la comida, pero solo un caballero sentado en la zona de comedor. No estaba claro si ordenó en la mesa o no y nadie alrededor para preguntar, así que hicimos cola con todos los demás. Solo una chica que servía sola y que luchaba por mantenerse al día. Otra chica apareció con una taza de té para un cliente y desapareció nuevamente. No hay servicio al cliente en evidencia, así que nos fuimos y comimos al lado.Hay tanta competencia en Chester por la comida que si el personal no está preparado, es poco probable que sobrevivan.

We called in for luch whilst shopping in Chester.

Food was mediocre, But we didn’t have to wait... ...here’s a little tip, a plate would be great. 🍽 Eating from the box, Was a bit of a farce... ...and the plastic knife & fork Well, you can stick them up your... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sometimes there are just no words... But here goes!! The York Roast Co .. OMG awful totally & utterly awful, asked & paid for a two roast takeaway only got turkey swimming in gravy which was lacking in every respect & devoid of taste. Had to repeat the order three times to a staff member who’s motivation was elsewhere! Standing waiting I thought okay is it just grumpy me who’s having problems... no surprise other customers having similar issues. Situated on Bridge Street in the heart of the city center sounds ideal for a quick wholesome snack. Our strong advice don’t bother just walk past without a glance. The inexperienced woeful staff members had absolutely no clue when it comes to customer service or speed of response or interaction. Okay you could argue that paying these undertrained young folk minimum wage is only going to get you what was on offer behind the counter in Bridge Street.. Wake up!! Is this really your doomed to failure business model for York Roast.. “Customer do actually matter.. we are not just an inconvenience” Recommended that’s a nope .. Xiexie

Lo mejor de este lugar es que el personal es amable. El sistema de colas es deficiente y no hay suficiente espacio para que la gente salga cuando hay una cola. Lo peor fue la comida, tuvimos un sandwich de cerdo. . . el cerdo era graso e insípido, servido en trozos en lugar de en rodajas. Había tanto relleno que abrumaba el sándwich. Comí menos de la mitad de la mía antes de llamarlo un día. Lo único bueno fue el chisporroteo, del que obtienes tres pequeños pedazos encima del sándwich.

Decidimos probar la envoltura de budín de Yorkshire, que era básicamente un budín de Yorkshire doblado con verduras asadas y una carne de su elección. El budín de Yorkshire estaba empapado e insípido, las verduras supuestamente asadas consistían en dos pequeños trozos de zanahoria y un frijol. . . . desafortunadamente no nos gustó y lo dejamos perdón, no volveremos allí de nuevo. El personal tampoco fue particularmente atento o amable. . . solo ocupados charlando entre ellos.

Nice Yorkshire pudding wrap which is worth a try. Not the cheapest place though but good tk experience it.

Our tour manager recommended this location for a quick, tasty and affordable lunch. So glad he did. Ordered the large roast pork sandwich with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Absolutely delicious! Add a bottle of water, tax, and tip and lunch was $12.

Bank Holiday Monday and walking around a pretty hot Chester. Walking past this place and it smelled very nice (who doesn't like the smell of Roast Beef???).

Called in here by chance. We had pork buns. Meat was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. Great food. Great service and friendly staff.

Was in Chester at the end of June this year and re-visited a favourite eating place of mine, which I would like to share with you – The York Roast Co., on Bridge Street, Chester. Food is basic, well cooked, accompanied by fresh market veg. Usually beef, turkey, ham, on offer. All looks good. Meat free option also available. Yorkshire puddings, great, would recommend, either with meat or a varied selection of veg. Don’t take my word for it, go and give it a go when next in Chester and want a well cooked lunch, at a reasonable price. Very clean and great staff. You will not be disappointed. Your choice of lunch is placed in an insulated container to keep it warm. Eat indoors, plenty of room, or, sit outside (weather permitting), at the tables and chairs provided in front of the eatery. Enjoy!

Lots of choice, really enjoyed the food here, can sit in or take away, reasonably priced, you will be full when you leave

Great idea, really tasty and great value!Using a Yorkshire pudding as z wrap is a great idea, really delicious!
