Stopped for a drink on the way past, rugby was on which was great! Easy to find and have a way in which to put in your registration of your car when you park, so don’t forget to do that!

we were there for christmas lunch. we arrived they did not have booking for us even though we had been sent a confirmation email we were the told to sit at a table with dirty glasses and dishes on it. Then they came and told us what they had left that we could have. The table was never dressed with christmas crackers or anything only a piece of wrapping papper sellotaped to it. The knives and forks were handed to us when the leftovers were brought to us. In our party 2 were vegatarion and my 8 year old grandson who is autistic and will only eat beige food. his came swimming in gravy and vegetarian meals were just a plate of veg. This cost £300 and i would advise anyone to go mcdonalds rather than Wheatsheaf. I am sorry I have had to write this but they said they would look into this but the last time i heard from was at the begining of February despite me emailling twice since then. I would never recommed The Wheatsheaf in Heath Rd Chester to anyone

By distance this is our local really but we haven't been in quite a while. We went early p.m for a change of scenery and tea out. We had booked a table and were seated pretty quickly, it seemed that most of the tables were reserved so probably a good job that we had booked. It is a bit haphazard at the bar, having to wait in a queue that has no discernable start or finish. We set up a tab to make it easier when ordering extra food/drinks. The service was good, staff were very pleasant and the food and drink times were standard for a local bar. My husbands meal was okay, but the steak was a bit grissly (always seems to be the case which is why i don't order steak from there). I did my usual and ordered some small items in place of a larger plate. I was pleasantly surprised. They were just what it said on the tin. The side of mac 'n' cheese was lovely comfort food. The side salad was a bit of a let down being mainly lettuce with one piece of cucumber and a couple of chunks of tomato and a pinch of grated carrot and onion and the hunters nachos were very nice, being something I hadn't tried before. The cocktail list was basic but fine for a quick tea, no french martinis or fancy items that need anything more than a quick shake. I will visit again but still staying away from the steaks.

Quick and friendly service. We had the halloumi fajitas, which were good and a decent size portion. Trouble is, we always have to have these when we take my mother here, as there is precious little else for vegetarians. Mac and cheese hardly sets the pulse racing and a "Dopsu non-meat burger" may satisfy vegans but isn't appropriate for vegetarians. What about a proper veggie burger or a spicy bean burger, rather than some fake meat?

We had two steaks and they were very poor. Half of the rump was inedible. Overcooked and actually black on the bottom from the skillet. I can’t for the life of me understand why you would serve a medium rare steak on a blazing hot bit of cast iron? It’s obviously going to carry on cooking!

What started as a mistaken visit due to there being a pub of the same name nearby, we were more than pleasantly surprised with our little mix up. We were given a very warm welcome on arrival and the food smelled amazing, after realising our mistake we were welcomed to stay! It's a beautiful place, great decor, very roomy, lovely staff and spotlessly clean. With a bill of £36 for 3 adult main meals, 1 pint and 1 Pepsi, we weren't expecting the portions that came but they were extremely generous, food was hot and delicious and all brought out together. We can't wait to return, even planning a breakfast visit for next week.

Ribs were nice but very small, overall wasn’t worth the price …. Next time I’ll make sure I order something else.

We came for my grandsons 11th birthday tea we waited for over an hour for the food, the fish and chips were very dry I imagine we’re left under the hot lamp while waiting for other food my granson had steak and he loved it while we were waiting patiently as I we didn’t want to spoil it for him we bought plenty of drinks and the manager was overheard talking about another party outside using the app as they were to lazy to walk to the bar I ordered a couple of Eaton mess which took 45 minutes and there was was no Eaton in the mess just cream and frozen fruit, our table was not cleared at all and we put all the glasses and plates on the table next to us as it was empty, we did not complain as we tried to not upset grandson as he is very sensitive. I was very disappointed in the service and food, I appreciate that it gets busy and have no problem waiting for half hour ish but I felt this was unacceptable and the staff and manager didn’t seem to care, hopefully this was a one off and generally do a good service.

I had pre-booked a table, which was ready for our arrival, even though we had arrived slightly early. Good choice of food, and the drinks choice was what I would expect from a Sizzling pub, although I might have liked a little extra choice in the ale/stout department. The prices of the food and drinks were good. The staff were friendly, and ensured that everything was OK, especially once it had been ordered and before it was made, which I liked to ensure no errors. Everything went well, the food was nice and we were left alone during our visit, which suits me fine.
