Woodcote Restaurant in Cheshire West and Chester

Breakfast was excellent and very good value. The price of the cooked breakfast includes fruit juice, hot drinks, ceral and fruit. We will be back.

We came up from Wolverhampton shopping staying at the holiday inn we were told about this restaurant....omg aspsolut amazing...amazing best steak i have ever had cooked to perfection you have got to try this place

Chose this restaurant for a birthday (74th) lunch with family as it was recommended by a friend. What an experience. Beautiful decor and layout in the bar area. Very friendly and professional staff. Met the owner and he couldn't have been more welcoming. The food (chef's special pie) was absolutely the best I have eaten. The lasagne was top notch too, so I was told. Will definitely be returning. Highly recommended.

Visited for lunch after a recommendation (from The Deeside Flight Simulators) and we weren't disappointed. Our server Barbara S was very friendly and polite and happy to talk over the menu with us. Our choices were delicious and plentiful (pie of the day and lasagne) and were delivered in good time. All the staff were friendly and helpful - all in all a good choice for lunch. They also seem to do a lot of community stuff with live music and events.

We visited with friends for breakfast. I had the Full English Breakfast which was very tasty, lovely to have good quality ingredients. Buffet style continental breakfast was also available and included in the price (£9.90) with a choice of cereal, fruit and yogurts. Fruit juice was available as were tea & coffee (hot water in a large flask & teabags to make your own, or coffee also direct from a flask) I would’ve preferred a pot of tea on the table. The lady who looked after us was very friendly & informative. Great value, great food. We will be back again very soon

Went for the traditional breakfast. Big portion size, lovely food and service. Smaller breakfast is an option aswell :) Highly recommend!

Amazing breakfast and for the price it can’t be beaten. You can have the continental along with cooked breakfast which includes refillable orange juice and hot drinks. Been here a few times for breakfast and for lunch and just can’t fault it. Barbara our breakfast waitress is so pleasant and very helpful.

Tastiest brekkie ever. Perfect portions, great value for money, amazing service and relaxing atmosphere. Just the best experience!

Had Sunday lunch with a friend today.The service was poor and when finally got out roast beef lunch...looked pretty on the plate BUT just one slice of beef on the tough side cabbage was awful and half a carrot a couple ?roast potatoes..not particularly nice at all, at a cost of £20!Did complain but to no avail!! Would not recommend or go back,totally disappointed.

We have just had one of the most loveliest breakfasts & great value, I would highly recommend, full English was very tasty indeed, staff were very welcoming & friendly, and the dining room was a lovely setting.

Held my fathers 90th afternoon tea buffet at the Woodcote today. What an absolutely lovely afternoon evening. Nothing was too much trouble, food was outstanding, scotch eggs were amazing. All of the family commented on how lovely everything was. Can highly recommended Thank you

Really lovely place, friendly and helpful staff and really tasty food, vegan and vegetarian options. Very decent portions.

Stayed on hotel very clean with friendly staff good evening meal Excellent full English breakfast Definitely recommended

We had an excellent lunch to celebrate a family birthday. All the dishes were of good quality, the service was attentive and the staff were very friendly. We will be back - recommended.

Had a lovely lunch celebrating a late Mother’s Day food was amazing staff very friendly We will definitely return thankyou

Fantastic food, generous portions and very welcoming staff. I have been twice and look forward to many more visits!

The portions here are very generous and the food freshly cooked. The garlic mushroom starter was like a main course. We were a party of 12 and the service was excellent. I personally did not like the rarebit with bacon - it had too much pepper and mustard. The desserts were well presented.

This place has been refurbished, the pictures don’t do it justice. Quiet but expect it will get busier as people start to visit. Lovely decor and good basic food. Yes

I booked an afternoon tea as a surprise for my wife,s 70th birthday altogether 12 where there, everyone said it was brilliant, food was lovely plenty of it and well presented, thanks to all at the woodcote

Visited this afternoon and was very impressed since our last visitThis place has been refurbished to a high and beautiful finish.Food was very good most of us had the roast beef which was delish.Service was very friendly and good.Will defo return and try out the rest of the menu.The Berkhoffs

I was with a group of about 80 diners the middle of December. A very good varied menu. We were all served at the same time, never having to wait for a meal. The meal was served hot. Plenty of ver pleasant staff. We will return.

Been several times for lunch , Sunday dinner and afternoon tea. Cannot praise the food enough. I am gluten free and my dietary requirements are easily catered for, without any issues. The refurbishment is fabulous. Staff and atmosphere is brilliant. Cannot recommend enough.

haven't been here for ages so decided to take my cousin who was visiting we had the beef and the turkey for mains both meats were excellent very tasty they came with lovely roasties and veg

Visited a few times during the refurbishment and now it's complete it's simply stunning. Food has been consistently good, and prices are really good for the quality. Booze prices decent too. They have a small kids menu in addition to what's on their website. 5*

Firstly got to say the chef is amazing cooked our steaks to perfection the manager Laura fabby the staff are attentive and extremely good I have no idea why this place ain't packed every weekend but it isn't and I really don't know why the ambiounce is superb and the food is to die for don't get it and will never understand but there we go fantastic just go even in the lovely bar fabby

Four of us go out for lunch together about once a month. Last Friday we went to the Woodcote Hotel. I had never been here before. We got a very warm welcome and were shown to the dining room on the right as we entered the premises. After drinks, we ordered food, three of us had the French trimmed Chicken and one had 8oz Ribeye steak. Two of us had sweets one Plum and apple tart and I had my usual Ice cream. Everything about the food was excellent tasty, enough for lunch, and nobody seemed to be over faced. The main point which really impressed me was how clinically clean everywhere seemed to be. The toilets, in particular, were squeeky clean which is really appreciated.

We held our baby shower at the Woodcote in November. We had a lovely afternoon tea and the staff and the food were both excellent. Thank you x x

Sunday lunch - good quality lean roast beef. Superb choice of side vegetables fabulous kale, leeks, carrots & mange tout made a nice change. Too many restaurants/gastro pubs insist on giving mushy carrots and broccoli with Sunday roast so eating vegetables that still taste of something was great. Actual gravy not oxo in water. Excellent roast potatoes. Good Yorkshire pud. Meat very flavoursome. Overall real food cooked well tasting great!

We had booked for a family Sunday lunch whilst attending a friends birthday celebration in the main room. The place has had a makeover from our last visit and is now decorated in a more contemporary style. We had a mixture of starters with the wild mushrooms being very good. All had the roast beef which came back cooked as we asked for. We did on booking ask for additional veg which was served in a large dish and was plenty for the five of us. The meals were piping hot and delicious. I can also Reccomend the sticky toffee pudding . We were the first in at half twelve but was near full by half one and made it an enjoyable atmosphere. Will visit again in the new year.

A quiet early Monday evening , we were the only customer at this time Although we were assured it had been very busy until 4pm

The food in this hotel is excellent, there is a good choice on the menu and all food is home cooked and served hot. The hotel also have another converted barn restaurant just a few miles in the village where the food is amazing.

We attended a function here but rather than being in the restaurant room we were in the function room. This was nice bright and airy (clearly recently decorated) leading off into a very nice garden area.

Visited The Woodcote for my Birthday. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was very well cooked and presented. The dessert was the delicious. Good sized portions at good value for money. We will be visiting again soon. Thank you

Called ad hoc for a last minute Sunday lunch... Oh my what a treat we had. Restaurant was quiet. But the food was fabulous. It is a hidden gem. Word should get out about their Sunday roasts. Gluten free was not a problem.. Will be back.

We have just eaten here tonight as we are having our wedding reception here in February. I was a bit anxious as we are both very critical and have high expectations. We love great food and have been very fortunate to eat in some great places around the world. We decided to have our reception here because of its connection to The Wheatsheaf in Raby. It's got a great reputation and that mattered to us. The staff have all been lovely and helpful and tonight's meal just confirmed we made the right choice. The food was amazing. We shared the fig and beetroot starter and pear and apple crumble (both lovely). I had the hake and it was absolutely divine. Seriously gorgeous. We didn't even find it expensive with wine and a couple of beers. Go now because once people find out about it, you may not get a table. So pleased we're having our special day here, we can't wait to treat our guests.

We stayed overnight in the hotel and after seeing the excellent views of the restaurant decided to eat here too. We weren't disappointed.

We took my parents today for afternoon tea to celebrate my Mums birthday. First class service and delicious food. The best afternoon tea in the area and I have tried them all!

La comida era muy sabrosa y bien presentada, tuve la sopa para empezar brécol y Stilton y la carne asada con salsa de los mejores que he tenido en un tiempo seguido de una tabla de quesos

Llamamos hoy a probar el asado del domingo, lo pasamos de maravilla, la comida y el servicio era increíble, me gustó especialmente el jardín amurallado era ideal para los niños tener jugar mientras disfrutamos de una bebida fría en la zona del patio. Volveremos pronto.

Yo recomendaría este hotel como un pequeño trocito de cielo escondido en el Wirral. . . Pero no te pierdas. Alguien especial para el té de la tarde, porque puedes estar seguro de que te hacen sentir especial. Increíble casa pasteles recién horneados y bollos, innumerables cantidad de té y café y un personal atento que entregar genuina servicio excepcional - nada es demasiado problema! Bien merece una visita!

Mi compañero y yo nos alojamos en este hotel la semana pasada. Debido a un largo viaje en tren llegamos tarde por la noche y recibido la bienvenida más hospitalaria de la nueva gestión del hotel que nos ofreció una bebida gratis en el bar. El servicio que recibimos fue absolutamente fantástico, nada era demasiado problema y el gerente del hotel, incluso nos llevó a nuestro destino al día siguiente. Un placer alojarse aquí y recomendaría este hotel a otros.

El Woodcote ha sido tomado por los nuevos propietarios. Nuestra primera visita ya el cambio para el almuerzo del día de la madre con la familia. Había 15 de nosotros. Comida deliciosa y un servicio excelente. Sólo un poco menos que en el comentario es...

Siete de nosotros, incluyendo a dos niños, disfrutamos de una comida de noche de sábado. El servicio y la comida fueron excelentes. Sin duda lo recomiendo.

Lovely restaurant, the food was lovely, staff very helpful and friendly! The restaurant itself is clean and bright, have been here a few times and always enjoy the food x

Myself and 3 friends had afternoon tea here for the first time. The service and food where excellent,staff really lovely and couldn't have been more helpful. Nice relaxing atmosphere and lovely surroundings. Will definitely be back again.

Had dinner here whilst staying over for a Motown Event. It was truly wonderful and exceptional value!Great, tentative staff and very comfortable, relaxed dining.I highly recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Staff lovely, polite and efficient and the food was beautiful, lovely, fresh sandwiches and an assortment of exquisite, home made cakes and scones.

Very tasty food. Lovely place, friendly loved the coffee. Deffo go again. Very clean place. Nice staff.

The whole excpetience was a delight..servbservbice with a smile, surrounding loverly.. An escape from the hustle and bustle.

Fab service with a smile..plenty of tea top ups. Nothing was too much trouble. Stunning bitesize cake selection with a beautiful Toffee posset and chocolate brownies. We were very chatty and quite loud but there were no complaints. Highly recommended.

I took 18 of my girl friends of celebrate my 70 birthday I couldn't fault it everyone had a fabulous time the food was so good would highly recommend the Woodcote

My daughter took me for an afternoon tea and we really enjoyed it. Good service and lovely food. Very busy too with lots of others also having afternoon tea.

I visit here every year with my school reunion of about 12 ladies.We are always well received and patiently served as some times different things are requested and provided without any trouble.This time I choose creamy mushrooms on ciabatta followed by a goats cheese and rhubarb tart , so delicious that I made it at home the following week.The surroundings are very pleasant and the price affordable.

Lovely afternoon tea staff are amazing as my child has autism and they went out there way to accommodate him and the sandwiches and deserts are amazing have been here a number of times and will continue

Excellent service, well filled sandwiches, homemade cakes and plenty of tea. What more could you ask for?

Took my mum for afternoon tea yesterday, she was so delighted from start to finish a young lady greeted us with a smile and was so attentive. The sandwiches full of tasty fillings and cakes to die for as well as macaroons, brownies,raspberry pannacotta and scones with jam and cream and cinder toffee everything homemade. I loved it too. We will be going back. Well worth a visit.

Afternoon tea at this hotel is nothing but amazing. The staff are very helpful and attentive. Great time was had by all so much so have booked numerous times for afternoon tea A +

Went for afternoon tea today with my family which inc a 5year old boy. Have to say the experience from start to finish was perfect. Upon arrival the greet was friendly, enthusiastic and heartfelt. The layout and cleanliness of the dining area was top notch as well. The food including tea and coffee where served very quickly and were presented lovely. The four adults had afternoon tea which was very filling and tasty. Our 5 yr old son was hungry but this was no bother as they made him a fresh sandwich and crisp lunch to his required flavours. They bent over backwards for every request we had and never broke perfect customer service. Can't recommend highly enough.

Took my partner for a birthday meal. Very pleasant surroundings, although music was a bit too loud. Excellent service, food piping hot (portions are quite large) and cooked to perfection..Would certainly visit again and intend taking my elderly mum for afternoon tea.

Went here on 2/12/15 had a lovely meal, good friendly service would recommend this place to people. Prices where also fair

On our last stay in November 2014, we only got to sample breakfast, but so liked the ambiance at Woodcote House that we were determined to sample the dinner menu this time – we were not disappointed.During our two day stay we enjoyed both dinner ad lunch the following day. Not a very long menu, especially at lunchtime, but offering pretty much something for everyone, my wife and I tried totally different dishes and all were good, perfectly cooked and served with a smile.The décor in the restaurant in pale creams and green is delightfully restful and you are not bombarded with loud music either.Goats Cheese pannacotta with a beetroot relish, and crostini and Ham & smoked cheese croquette with a curried mayonnaise, I requested a wedge of lemon in lieu of the mayonnaise and they unhesitatingly obliged, got our meal off to a flying start. My wife’s rare 8oz Rib Eye steak with chunky chips, tomato & peas was perfectly cooked and of the best quality, whilst my Confit of belly pork served on a potato rosti, with black pudding, Spinach & an apple cider sauce was an interesting dish, perfectly presented and beautifully cooked. The crackling was perfect! Following this up I went for a Gooseberry frangipane with custard – the gooseberries coming from Woodcote’s own kitchen garden, my wife had the same dish with clotted cream.By any standards an excellent dinner, at a fraction over £50 (including a half pint of Carlsberg) this was excellent value………..as was lunch the following day at £15 each for two courses.I am not going to recommend any specific dish – everything we ate here was of the best, this restaurant is deservedly popular with hotel guests and locals alike – booking is essential.

I was taken here by a friend for afternoon tea and it was lovely. The food was gorgeous as was the presentation. I've no idea what it cost but the spread was very generous, we could not finish it all. The restaurant was very pleasant. We stayed for a couple of hours but no one minded. Very friendly.

i have been fortunate to eat here twice in the last few weeks I first bought myself a gift of afternoon tea then was given a gift of a 2 course meal with drinks and I must say the place is beautiful the staff are great and attentive without being over the top and the food is absolutely delicious. The cakes are all home made and geourgeous.definatley well worth a trip I promise you wont be disappointed

Very fond memories of Sunday lunch, followed by several birthday celebrations, simply the. Best personal attention and food xxx

The menu is good, food is excellent and large portions, the restaurant is lovely, bright and airy and would definitely recommend for a quiet cosy dinner or function

We had afternoon tea at this hotel over the weekend and the whole experience was top notch - even tho we were there on a voucher offer, we were treated in the same way as any full paying guest. The food was delicious & plentiful, sandwiches were very fresh with plenty of filling and as for the cakes, well they were just amazing - such a variety and lots of them - in fact too many to eat there & then so we took some home. The tea/coffee was free flowing too. The service was absolutely faultless, very pleasant staff. We were also lucky that the weather was being kind so we took advantage of the warm sunshine to dine out in garden - such a lovely relaxing well maintained area - it just made for a perfect experience. Thank you

Just returned from afternoon tea at the Woodcote hotel. Could not fault it. We went on a voucher but would of been more than happy to pay full price. Sandwiches nice and fresh and lots of different variations of cakes and as much tea or coffee and you can drink! We sat in their beautiful garden and the weather was good to us. Would fully recommend this hotel.

Visited on a voucher deal with friends.Lovely helpful staff we were delayed as friends went to a similar named place not far away by mistake.The menu was not a large selection but ok..The food when it arrived was good and freshly cooked .The decor is fresh and the whole dining room lovely ..light and airy.Would definantly recommend it .

Ate at the hotel restaurant as we were staying there on business. Food was a good quality, menu is A La Carte or a Specials menu. 3 courses on the specials cost £20.00. Good value.

In the ZOO room its cramped and hot.The food is good with nice variety of fish, meat or vega.Prices are fair and the service suitable.Till next time!

Went for afternoon tea on a 1/2 price voucher. The room was nicely decorated airy and light.Tasty sandwiches and mini cakes and plenty of tea. On the voucher it was great value and enjoyable, but I would not have been quite so happy if I'd paid the full price as it wasn't the best afternoon tea I've had

Very nice afternoon tea, set in pleasant surroundsQuality of food was well up there and was plentiful

Went here for afternoon tea yesterday and was a real treat! Beautifully and imaginatively served in a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely one of the best I have come across and shall be recommending to friends.

Went for afternoon tea with my Mum, it was so lovely we are going again tomorrow, 4 of us. I have never been served by such lovely friendly people. One told us we should go and have a look at their secret gardens and after our food, took us out to see them! Beautiful gardens.The afternoon tea was the best I have ever had. A huge assortment of cakes!! and a choice of sandwiches. It was so bright and airy inside ,Can't recommend it highly enough.

We had a great time for my partners Birthday drinks in the garden before eating weather did permit 18 people for the meal good value staff very attentive and helpful all in all would recommend for a celebration.

We came here for afternoon tea, food was stunning, service was outstanding and friendly. We left and already thinking when we can get back. This is a place you have to make time to visit.

I went here with a lot of my family for my nan and granddads 60th wedding anniversary, with it being a large party, we all pre-orderd our food. However with being a vegetarian, there was only one vegetarian option on the menu and unfortunately it was one that I didn't like. So I rang up Woodcote and kindly asked if there was any other vegetarian options available and they just simply said

A good choice of interesting, well cooked meals. Couldn't fault it, and ate there for the three days of our stay at the hotel.

While staying at the hotel we decided to eat in the restaurant as it looked so inviting. This is unusual for us as we usually eat in a local pub.We were not disappointed, the service (with a chat and a smile) was brilliant, the food excellent and the glasses refilled in the blink of an eye.Very highly recommended and we will be back.

Myself and my wife visited here for a meal on a cold December eveningThe restaurant is warm and cozy with a small barThere was not a great choice of vegetarian dishes on the menu but the manager was very accommodating in making a meal for us

We just got back from having Mother's Day Lunch at this Restaurant. What can I say? This place is a little GEM! Food was beautifully light and tasty and very eye catching. The restaurant itself is delightfully decorated and it had a quaint english tearoom feel to it and the staff are charming and welcoming. There is a secret garden just to the left of the car park and I can imagine its a lovely sight in the summer! As it was wonderful looking even in such a cold dreary day. We will be returning for sure. Just gorgeous. Thank you Woodcote for making mine and my mums Mother's day a special one :-)

Wow! Amazing afternoon tea. Everything was fresh and delicious, definitely all about the cakes but the sandwiches were a treat too. Cant wait to go back, especially in the spring and summer to sit in the beautiful secret garden.

Atmosphere, Good food, Friendly staff. Only problem, had to wait quite a while and it was not at all busy

The menu was unusual to us, as we very rarely eat in the hotel we stay in. We tend to eat a fairly boring diet. However, we treated ourselves this time and the food was amazing. The service was great, every table being served as if they were the only ones eating there.

excellent highly recommend this for family event food service and venue excellent from day of looking at venue to the actual day Menu choices and it was no problem for people that had dietary needs

Enjoyed a nice meal here with my wife. Great service and a friendly welcome! Nice food and very affordable.

Everything was perfect.....piping hot food, good menu choices and reasonable price for premium food!! Backed up by excellent service and atmosphere x

Restaurant is very comfortable, and service is excellent. Food is top notch.They use local produce, and as they say, they don't do fast food, but they do good food as fast as they can"!They have a daily specials menu which offers two courses, a small glass of wine and coffee/tea for around £16.There's also a separate bar area in a function room, serving draught beers etc.Definitely recommend!

I have eaten here often with the family for lunch, dinner and for family occasions. Really nice environment, great staff and really enjoyable food. Would highly recommend a visit.

After deciding to eat quite late{we had attended a funeral} the staff couldn't of been more helpful. My husband is a coeliac and the staff were excellent with the menu and explaining where the food was cooked etc i had the risotto which was really tasty, other members in our party had various dishes and there wasn't one clean plate!!!!I would also like to mention that the funeral buffet in the afternoon was excellent, the staff excellent and unobtrusive.We will be visiting again.

The staff were really welcoming and couldn't do enough to help us.We had a party of 30 people which included adults and children, this could be quite daunting for a restaurant but everything seemed to go to plan. A little bit of a mix up with peoples food but that was something we would expect really considering the amount of people that attended.We ordered our food from a set menu which was Starters/Mains/desserts.All of the food came out at pretty much the same time, nice and hot and plenty of it. Overall we were very happy with our evening and all of our family and friends were as well.Special thanks to Leigh who organised everything.

We had heard that this restaurant was very good so booked a table for a Saturday evening and we wasn't disappointed the food and service was excellent. We went for the a la carte menu my husband had the chicken and chorizo meal and thought it was really good and my brother in law had the risotto and that too was very good,the whole meal starters and main courses we didn't have dessert(no room maybe next time ) were absolutely fantastic. The only downside was that there was not a lot of atmosphere there but the food more than made up for it, we would go again and would thoroughly recommend it to it everyone.

I have been here a good few times now - for Afternoon Tea, Breakfast and just coffee. Each time has been lovely. The service from the lovely staff and the beautiful décor is what keeps me going back. It's the kind of service that keeps a smile on my face. The food is lovely and there's a lot of choice available. Keep up the good work - it really does pay off. I have recommended you to all of my friends!!

Food was of good quality, well cooked and served in a timely fashion. Leave room for the cheesecake!!!

My wife and I were spending one night in the hotel and decided to eat in. It was the right decision as the food was very good and the staff excellent. The 'set menu' was a little limited so we opted for the a la carte.Thoroughly recommended.

Had heard that this restaurant had had a makeover so wanted to give it a try. Very helpful staff providing information/menus before making my booking. The restaurant is bright and airy and quite tastefully decorated, some nice settees and background music being played while we chose our meals. Friendly staff. A La Carte available and a set menu with 2 courses, glass of wine and tea/coffee for £30 for 2 people and we chose this and it was good value for money. The food was hot ,tasty and nicely presented. The menu was fine but not terribly exciting so if you are an adventurous eater may not suit but we were all very happy with our meals. One tip for the staff put some ice and lemon in water jugs other than that a very nice experience just a pity it was quiet which cannot help the atmosphere

A friend and I called in today for a coffee and possibly lunch, we were advised that they were actually closed. However, they had a private function underway so kindly offered to provide coffee and sandwiches. I assumed they were the owners, they were so helpful and welcoming. A good service can be difficult to find and they excelled, we were able to have a good chat in a lovely place, thank you very much.

From the outside you would not expect to find the amazing food and wonderfully helpful staff that makes the Woodcote such a delight. It is the staff and their efforts that make this place so good. We went with a friend who was completing a food diary at her consultant's request, to identify a food allergy. The hotel e-mailed her a complete list of every ingredient in her meal.It is " going the extra mile" that makes us return. As well as the excellent food. Would definitely recommend

My first visit to this venue. WOW! The food and service absolutely blew me away! This place is a hidden gem. The food was very reasonably priced with my expectations matched accordingly, however, each course was of tremendous quality and the service from their friendly staff easily matched it. The best meal we have had in a very long time... Thanks so much, we'll be back!

Came here simply on the recommendation of other reviewers on Trip Advisor before we went to the cinema at Cheshire Oaks. The reviews are very accurate. This restaurant offers good value dining in very pleasant surroundings. The waitress and manager were efficient, friendly and knowledgable, willing to chat, but didn't intrude. The food was good quality, the portions generous and very good value. I couldn't manage dessert. A lovely meal which would suit any occasion.
