Travellers Rest in Cheshire West and Chester

Nice pub, definitely coming back....

Lovely little place to eat and drink. Mike served us and he was so polite and professional. Really do recommend it and the food.

Came for a Father’s day meal with family.I had ordered the salt and pepper skewers and chips as a main meal as-well as a vanilla cheesecake. We were greeted by friendly staff members and a nicely decorated pub in general very sanitary and homely. Brilliant service and amazing food couldn’t have asked for better.

Absolutely brilliant staff very attentive the food was really really lovely and the bread and butter pudding was heavenly will definitely come again

Came with 3 generations of family for Fathers Day. The food was really good, and it’s worth the visit for the desserts alone! The fish pie, roasts and lamb burger were stand out. The bread and butter pudding is definitely a favourite. Service was spot on, attentive and friendly but not overbearing. Will definitely return.

We came here for steak night and wow it was unbelievable! It was our anniversary too and they gave us a toblerone with happy anniversary on it! They go above and beyond.

We came here for steak night and wow the quality of the food was amazing. It was our anniversary and they went above and beyond by leaving us a Toblerone bar with “happy anniversary” on it. I can not fault this place at all. Amazing.

Cannot write a proper review because after calling in to the travellers rest today about 1pm for some lunch, we found the place closed after passing a number of times this year when ther appeared to be plenty of custom mid afternoon. We did not notice any notice of the situation after taking the trouble to travel there. Not very impressed with the lack of communication for the benefit of passing trade. We have decided not to try anymore times just to be met with this situation again.

Lovely pub with a friendly and welcoming host. The draft ales were extremely well looked after and were delicious. The meals were amazing! It says homemade and you can tell it is. Can't wait to go again.

Great homemade food, lovely views too. Will visit again.

Great homemade food, with lovely views from our table and attentive waiting service. Will certainly be visiting again.

This is an absolute great pub ,food ,atmosphere ,very nice and clean and the staff go above and beyond ,we went in to watch fa cup final had home made pizza and chips ,once match finished everyone was offered complimentary ice cream cone with choice of flavours ,nice touch to finish off a great day ,going bak on Sunday for roast dinner ,well done to all the team great job well done .

Just had a lovely meal here after a nice little visit to the antique's place not far from the pub. Service was great, really friendly staff, good selection of beers and good fresh food 👌 no chicken nuggets though !! 👀 🤣

The food was delicious and well presented, the venue is set in a beautiful area with lovely views.

Amazing freshly cooked food, served on a hot plate. Halloumi burger and fries was nicely presented and tasted great. Coffee was lovely and it was nice that it was really hot and not luke warm as in lots of places. Great service, lovely chatty staff.

Awful food. Three of us not happy with our meals. Should have sent them back.

We were passing through Frodsham today and decided to call into The Traveller’s Rest for meal. What a great decision as the food was delicious! Very attentive service and food was well presented. We will definitely return for another meal soon.

We arrived for a family dìnner 8 people. Even though they had staff shortages, and more and more customers coming in,the lady accepted to take our orders and served us with really tasty food, well cooked and not too expensive They even have a doggies menu with chicken sausages and bacon. water bowls available as well as a big pot of doggie treats 😁

The food, drinks and service are absolutely exceptional. I recommend everybody to come here for a quick bite or a drink. Especially thank you to Mike- Great service

The meals were great I ordered small fish and chips it was really big,but it was really good,I couldn't eat it all, will call again

Excellent food, quite nice beer, but the price of cordial was imo very expensive. Would I return? Yes! Would I buy cordial, well if it is all one can drink apart from water... I can't speak for the atmosphere... Yet. The waitress was lovely and I wish her success with the dreaded exams...

Myself and a friend went to the Travellers Rest for lunch today after going for a walk in Delamere. Mike who was looking after us was really friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent, freshly made and we both really enjoyed it. We ended the meal with a coffee and a mini sticky toffee pud with ice cream ( just enough to satisfy our sweet tooth) . The environment was really clean, welcoming and well presented. Toilets were clean too. I’d definitely come back and recommend to family and friends.

I love this pub and its views over the Cheshire plain. It’s everything a lovely, family friendly pub should be. The new menu has so many options I wanted to try on my first visit it took me ages to choose. That’s a great start in my book. Elektra the chef and manager is so passionate about what she does. She’s done all of the redecoration and the pub feels much cosier and it was really warm and welcoming. We went for the Quiz on Wednesday night and had dinner beforehand. For those of you who don’t have the time they provide EPIC chip butties in the break at the quiz which disappeared in seconds to help us with our brain power! It clearly worked as we won. It was lots and lots of fun and cheered me and my sister up immensely. Dinner was delicious as you can see from the photos. I’m going back asap with my taller better half to dive into the burger menu and fish options. My sister will be back with her young family as she thinks it a a great place for a family meal as Harry her ten year old loves calamari and you can’t get any in Frodsham. Bella will love the cheese burger or pizza and the adults will have pie.

Great place with great views, great food, great beer and lovely staff. We have been a number of times over the last few weeks and we will be back again !

Definitely a hidden gem, was quiet but we did visit on a Thursday afternoon so didn’t expect much different. Gentleman who served us as pleasant and polite. Would definitely visit again if/ when in the area.

Fab service in Frodsham! Lovely meal and the desserts are the best, definitely would go back and we were very happy! Very reasonably priced too, would recommend 1000%

The last Wednesday of every month is the quiz at the Travellers rest, great quiz, good fun with chip barns at half time. The food is awesome too, the pub is under new management since October 2023, give it a go.

Called in last month for tea, think they had just opened that week. Staff very friendly, service was good and the food was nice. Will come back when in the area again for food.

Called into The Travellers Rest as passing by. So glad we did, very friendly bar and Mike, front of house, was excellent. Chatted and had a good laugh with the locals, it was a very pleasant visit. Also booked for dinner the following evening. Fabulous steak for me and a very tasty curry for my husband, followed by mini desserts and coffees. Really generous portions for our main meal, it was all fab. The local beers were great and very good value. Well done Mike, Elektra and the team.

Food was mega, service was fantastic, can’t wait to come back!

Another exceptional night at the Travellers! We enjoyed a picturesque stroll through Hobby Woods, barely touching the road, and our furry companions couldn't get enough of it. Coupled with great beer, delicious food, and outstanding service, it was an unforgettable experience under the new management's guidance!

We went on mother's day after seeing a good veggie menu. Went back a month later and the roast was just as good second time. Food was so fresh and tasty. Service is excellent and extremely welcoming and friendly, wine chilled beautifully. We'll be back.

First visit since change of management and likely to be the last. Very limited menu. Not very welcoming despite no-one else being there for lunch. Young girl left to run it on her own for most of the time. Gave the distinct impression that management don't know what they are doing. Really disappointing.

We happened to be staying close by and wanted to find a dog friendly pub. From entering the door to leaving the staff were amazing. We decided to have bite to eat and what a great choice that turned out to be. The food was amazing and you could tell all really freshly prepared. We would definately call in again if passing this way. Thank you

Great food, had fish and chips followed by brownie and it was lovely. Dog friendly with treats, towels and a dog menu.

A gem of a place, staff super friendly and squeezed us in without a booking. But then the piste de resistance the food amazing. If passing this way you have to try it out.

Visited this Pub for the first time for a family wake last week and instantly we were made to feel very welcome! The staff were very accommodating and courteous and the food was faultless. Highly recommended.

We organised a family meal for Easter Sunday Lunch, although this sounds like your normal usual review, we had one difference, there were 37 of us attending. Elektra and the team were "Absolutely Fantastic" they catered for all the different required dietary needs including allergies. The ages ranged from Children to OAP, nothing was to much trouble. The food was fantastic & service was brilliant. Would definitely go back. Thanks again Elektra & team.

We went for Sunday lunch here, I love dogs however it smelt of dogs a little too much which can put you off your food, my roast was nice you got plenty, wasn’t keen on boiled parsnips though, my friend is vegetarian they gave her literally a plate of mostly kale for her roast dinner. Kids menu wasn’t much choice. Prices weren’t too bad luckily, staff were nice

Just had a lovely meal at Traveller’s Rest. Food was lovely, service was very friendly. Would recommend a try if you haven’t already. We will be back !

Lovely little country pub with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. The log burning fire adds to the cosy and relaxed feel. More importantly the food was amazing. My partner wanted another steak & ale pie as it was the best he had ever eaten. I highly recommend a visit.

Myself and my partner visited Traveller's Rest as we had heard great reviews from family members. They didn't disapoint, the atmosphere was warm and friendly. Mike was very accommodating and he went above and beyond for us- would recommend to anyone passing by and looking for a lovely place to go! Will be back!

Good food. Nice staff. Dog friendly. Nice and quiet with great views.

My family and I had Sunday Lunch here for Easter Sunday. The food and service were excellent! A very warm welcome and great atmosphere. We will be returning.

We had a family meal here Sunday afternoon absolutely beautiful 5* service. We will definitely be returning. Our son has a severe nut allergy & the chef & staff couldn’t do enough for us.

Our family of 11 (7 adults, 4 children) had a wonderful Sunday dinner today. Mike provided us with excellent service. Everyone was pleased with their meals. The sticky toffee pudding was delightful. We would definitely return another time.

We had a lovely meal here tonight, with very nice real ales and friendly staff. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely country pub - good beers and a warm welcome. Dog friendly. Thoroughly recommend it - relaxed and a lovely menu can recommend the pizzas great value for money they are huge! They also do take away pizzas

Really comfy warm and friendly pub ! Food was lovely ☺️ my husband had the home made fish pie in which he said it's probably one of the best he has tasted The weather wasn't that great but they have a lovely beer garden which would be an amazing visit on a sunny day

Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy, management shocking looks like they treated staff like s***, food absolutely awful hard pie, near enough frozen veg. All microwave meals, hardly any chips and to many green veg to cover it up. Food is overpriced for a pub, could go to a 5* restaurant with the price. Food took a hour to come out. Our family of 15 felt very let down and will not be returning not one good word to say about this place and would definitely not recommend to others, definitely in need of inspection. Please avoid!!!

Always excellent food and service

We only had a main meals but the food was excellent fish pie is delicious and garlic bread was one of the best I have had sausage and mash was also excellent we will definitely be going back

To be fair we didn’t try the food as we didn’t stay. Outside was a wind blown sign advertising “under new management”, there were empty drinks cans and bottles in the car park and the litter inside the entrance must have been there for weeks. Despite all that we had a look at the menu. Is it me or is £9 for a calamari starter taking the mickey?

Lovely and friendly Staff helpful,food delicious good value .not sure how much the meals,as it was Mother's Day &Birthday celebration.

Booked here for Mother’s Day all excited for our roast dinners, waited 45 mins for the food to arrive and the food had absolutely no flavour to it ☹️ was really looking forward to my Mother’s Day Sunday roast and was left very disappointed. Previous 3 times it was lovely…this time…not so much. Left full but not a happy full. Probably won’t be returning. Abit gutted to say that really as it’s never let me down before

Prior to the new owners taking over we vowed never to go in again as the food was awful. We then decided to give the new owners a try and what a difference! A lovely clean pub nice food and a warm welcome by Mike. We will definitely return. Highly recommended.

Went for a celebration meal with family. The decor has been upgraded and looks stylish and pleasant. The owner was front of house and greeted us on arrival. We had a good table in the window and the traditional fire burning in the grate was a welcome touch. We had drinks & food, the food was tasty, hot and nicely presented, everyone enjoyed what we had. The owner was pleasant and attentive throughout, taking time to chat wine with older family member. We will be back!

Really friendly staff, great place to stop in during a walk

Visiting from Manchester staying at the local Caravan park, and dropped in at lunch met the most friendly staff and had a wonderful experience, so returned for an evening meal and was met by more great staff, the food was beyond perfect x the best food we have had in a restaurant for a long time, compliments to the chef 👩‍🍳 x Highly recommended. Dog friendly and a wonderful homely atmosphere. Keep up the good work

Enjoyed a murder mystery evening at the Travellers Rest. Lovely venue, and the food was fabulous!

ALLERGEN REVIEW: COELIAC/GF My partner and I visited last night for food and drinks. My partner made the reservation and the person taking the call asked if they needed to be aware of any allergies. Partner told them I’m coeliac and person on the phone understood that meant I’d need gluten free. This made me feel super safe from the get go as I’m still used to places not understanding coeliac. On arrival we were greeted by Mike and settled in with drinks. I spoke with Mike about the menu and the HUGE range of GF items. I opted for maple and mustard chorizo, beer battered fish and chips (partner had the steak), and to finish: chocolate brownie. I did double check about the “beer-battered” fish being GF and that it was definitely GF beer used. Mike and the chef both confirmed this. I felt very reassured, especially when Mike told me the chef was cleaning everything down to ensure it was free from cross contamination. Then, the little GF sticks and the chef serving me food herself - I was very happy that it was being taken so seriously. The food itself was amazing. The chorizo starter was a perfect starter to share as there was so much! Nice chunky bits with lots of the marinade in the bottom of the pot for dunking. The fish and chips (small!!!) was a great portion size, nice crisp batter and fish that just melted. My partner tried some and he said it was better than some gluten containing fish and chips he’s had 😂 dessert: again big portion size and again, glad we shared as we didn’t really have room for it but I’m a sucker for a brownie! After our meal, we spoke with Mike about how they were new owners and he explained that the chef specialises with allergens and it’s something that they’re proud of - and rightly so. I wouldn’t expect a country pub to be so knowledgeable but I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you so much. We will definitely visit again and recommend to ALL ❤️

Called in after a couple of hours walking in Delamere Forest. We were welcomed by Mike and were shown straight to our table. Our food arrived in good time after ordering and was piping hot and delicious. My wife particularly enjoyed the halloumi fries which she said were the 'best she had ever tasted!' Our compliments were passed onto Elektra, (the owner and chef), via Mike. We would heartily recommend this pub/restaurant if you are looking for good quality food and service, and are in the area!

We decided to stay for lunch! Omg, the food is amazing and the attention to detail was unbelievable, fresh vibrant greens and delicious roast beef with the most fluffy, crunchy roasties

Had a lovely meal, even the dog had his own menu as well as dinner. Portion sizes are great and the dessert was amazing ! I would definitely recommend !

What can I say except the food was excellent, the staff are so polite and friendly. Plus its a dog friendly pub which is good to know as we can bring our dogs with us next time

dreadful service. can't recommend hard pie.

Had a lovely night at the traveler’s rest pub, great food piping hot, really tasty food and well presented with good portions. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Mike the manger took time to have a chat with us. Would certainly return in the future Thank you all 👍👍

We have not been here for almost 30 years. Today driving back from Lady Heys we stopped for a drink and something to eat. What a beautiful atmosphere. The decor is calm and crisp but does not take away the charm of a very rustic building. The food, what can I say????? Absolutely loads! The menu is slender with something for everyone. The quality of the produce was second to none. The little things like the bread absolutely top quality. We had a shared Camembert platter and our Mum has the recommended soup of the day, carrot and ginger. Then we all had the chicken on ciabatta. A succulent juicy breast of chicken on a warm ciabatta roll. With a very small but just so right amount of rocket and baby tomatoes. The chicken was topped with a good wholesome cheese with a smidgen of BBQ sauce. Then an incredible thick slice of smoked back bacon. This was served with good quality chips and a choice of relishes. We definitely did not expect such quality in a pub lunch. They had a choice of beers and cask ales along with a good variety of wines. Again the service was second to none. One amazing find. We will definitely be going back. Thank you

Amazing service, as soon as we walked through the door. Greeted and served by Mike who was really friendly and hospitable. We are a family of four with a dog. All the food was home made so it took that little bit of extra time but the wait wasn’t long at all and the food was very good! Couldn’t fault it at all! The doggy menu was a lovely touch too! Very reasonable prices and Bella (the dog) loved it. Although we didn’t use it on this occasion, the beer garden looked lovely - great for summer months! Really really enjoyed our visit here and would absolutely come again! Thanks Mike and the team ☺️🥰

Great food and amazingly attentive staff who were also very knowledgeable about the local area and couldn't recommend other local businesses enough

Welcoming, warm and friendly staff, good is delicious. We was staying at lady Hayes site and this pub is 0.5miles away and only 10 min brisk walk. We went for lunch which we had for starters chorizo sausages and mozeralla sticks. Followed by three flavoured sausages and mash, and steal and pie. We then decided to go for dinner which the gentleman who served us said we can have the steak Wednesday as I said it was my partners birthday. Which I found very kind of them. We also was too stuffed for pudding so we had this to take out. I found the pricing very good to the high quality meals we had, they also cater to food allergies. 10 out of 10 and we will be back.

Called in for Lunch on our anniversary, first time we have ever visited. Mike was very friendly and attended to us quickly. Good food and drinks and we have no hesitation in recommending the pub.

Ive been working my way through the menu with my mum over the last few weeks and there is such a wide choice of fantastic dishes, none of which have disappointed. The service has been excellent, the staff so friendly and welcoming, even remembering what me and mum drink on arrival. Cant recommend this place enough right now.

A lovely little pub, serving splendid food! I recommend highly. Very attentive and caring staff. We have been touring the local area for a month and, of the many pubs we have visited round here, this is the pub we would rank the highest! Great job, guys 'on yer!

8 of us called in for food over Christmas / New Year whilst driving past. New owners are doing a great job. Good menu with good portions. All food was cooked and presented well. Big open fire, stone floors, real ales and the owners were really pleasant. Really enjoyed our visit. *the free wet wipes and nappys within the baby change was a nice touch*

Really reccomend trying out this pub! Food was amazing, and Mike was so friendly and helpful. A lovely pub to stop in at after the delamere walk, will return again.

Paid our first visit under the new management and we were delighted that both our meals and service were first class.

What a remarkable transformation! I recently visited the Traveller's Rest with my family, and I must say, the positive changes are impressive. The new management, despite facing challenges with an outdated kitchen and broken appliances, has turned things around big time. On several occasions since the new owner took over, we’ve enjoyed excellent meals that surpassed our expectations. The trio of sausages meal, in particular, was delicious. The dedication of the new management is evident not only in the food but also in the upgraded selection of fantastic beers! The contrast with the previous management is stark, and it's clear the place is now on a positive trajectory. Kudos to Electra for her hard work and commitment to delivering a great experience. We look forward to our next visit!

Came here with 10 of my friends. We pre-booked. The standard of service was second to none. The quality of the food was amazing. Everything is cooked from fresh. We had three courses of various items and couldn’t fault any. I personally had the skewers...

Lovely food - excellent beer and wine - and a really friendly welcome - we can recommend the Travellers Rest for a family meal

New year at the travellers. Was a great night. Great food and service. Had dinner here a couple of weeks ago too. Food was excellent. Give this couple a try they are great hosts. The wine and beer is flowing and have everything you want....

Wow amazing meal, amazing service. Definitely be back. Definitely recommend this place for a meal and a few scoops.

Lovely pub, friendly staff and very nice food at a reasonable price. I had the fish pie, there was plenty of it and it was delicious. Would recommend this place.

A lovely married couple own the pub, I wanted to come here for a while but it’s always booked up every year, luckily I got a booking this year. The starters was amazing and dinner was delicious too. I wanted dessert but I was too...

Highly recommended, great food & service. We used to visited some years ago but the management changed and we went elsewhere. We heard that new people had taken over and it was worth a visit. Please go, we were very impressed with the food, beautifully...

Fantastic staff, very knowledgeable and helpful, the food is first class, some very careful chosen dishes that pack a real flavour punch. Can't recommend this place enough.

Our 1st visit since the new owners took over and we weren’t disappointed. It’s early days but the restaurant already looks 100% better. I’m sure by the time they’re finished it will be fabulous. The food was great as was the service, I’d definitely recommend...

Excellent service from Mike very attentive to detail and not to forget his lovely wife who does all the cooking highly recomend

Have been here a few times as we like to camp out nearby and have been underwhelmed . On reading that it was now under new ownership and judging by the good reviews we decided to give it one last go. What a transformation. I will start at the bar, a good selection of premium lagers and the old faithfuls plus a couple of cask beers. Couldnt decide whether to chance it on the cask so the Barmaid pulled me a sample of each to test , still slightly apprehensive. I ordered the pale ale with the assurance that if I wasn’t happy with it then just bring it back and she would replace it with a lager of my choosing free of charge. How’s that for service ! Now onto the food. We ordered the salt and pepper chicken skewers as a starter to share , just as well as it would probably constitute as a meal In itself on its own. Delicious. For mains I ordered the steak and guiness pie and the wife ordered the fish and chips. Best fish and chips we have had since Whitby and the pie was as good as I have ever had and believe me I’ve had a few. Staff so attentive without being over intruding . Doing all the right things. A winning formula as far as I am concerned. Highly recommend.

Fantastic lunch with family today. A warm welcome on arrival and a good choice of foods on the menu. I can honestly say the fish pie was one of the best I've had and a good sized portion. My family had fish and chips and...

Had a fantastic lunch today with family. The fish pie was fantastic, fish and chips was great with a fresh crispy batter. The welcome was warm and service was excellent. The new team are doing a great job

Had Gluten free fish and chips.Great choice highly reccomended thank you x

We were staying at Lady Heyes caravan site with friends and decided to go to the Travellers Rest for a meal on our 2nd evening. It's within walking distance, it took us about 15 minutes. There's a pavement all the way there, but part way...

Lovely home cooked food ,will be sure to visit again , Sunday dinner & lasagne was delicious

This pub has very recently been taken over by new people. I went today for lunch with a friend and had the ' festive feast' ciabatta. It was very good - bursting with filling of turkey ( very thick tasty slices), brie and Cranberry. Side...

Had lunch here for the first time with the new management. It’s had a rocky time lately but from our experience today the future should be rosy. It looks bright on entry, there will soon be lovely fires but today they were waiting for the...

Wow, just Wow. Had the best meal last night, hearty and whole in every way. It was also very relaxing. New management have certainly worked wonders here and I can highly recommend a visit. I’ve also visited just for drinks and it’s a nice calm...

Visited this country pub with a couple of friends for a pre-Christmas catch up. Was truly blown away by the ease of booking, warm welcome on arrival and choice from the menu. I opted for traditional Xmas dinner, perfect. My friends had a vegetarian option...

Just popped in for a quick bite to eat at lunchtime. Homemade soup and a warm roll, steak ciabatta and chunky chips. And not forgetting 2 pork sausages for our dog! Lovely welcome and outstanding food. This is our 4th visit since the new owners...
