The best restaurants in Hoole Cheshire West and Chester North West

Stopped here for lunch after a tour of the University of Chester. Wanted to experience the city outside of campus and this stop was a treat! The delicious sandwiches were enjoyed by our entire family, but more importantly we were greeted with a smile, engaged in conversation throughout our time in the shop and genuinely thanked for stopping in. Our prospective student will definitely be finding her way back to Sarnies during her studies!!

Mi hermano gemelo Stephen y yo visitamos Chester durante dos días para disfrutar de los excelentes pubs que esta ciudad tiene para ofrecer y The Flookersbrook Pub fue uno de esos pubs que visitamos. El pub se ve bien, un interior agradable, buena decoración y mobiliario, incluido un bar de servicio de aspecto atractivo y muchas opciones de asientos repartidas por todo este pub, tanto dentro como fuera, con vistas a la concurrida y bulliciosa Hoole Road. Estuvimos aquí un miércoles por la noche, recibidos calurosamente por un miembro muy agradable del personal que nos sirvió una cerveza a cada uno, optamos por una lager, se sirvieron en excelentes condiciones, frías y espumosas y simplemente nos relajamos y tomamos el gran pub en el que estábamos. Mi cerveza era realmente buena, ligera y lupulada, muy fácil de beber, una infusión realmente refrescante. Seguimos adelante después de nuestras deliciosas cervezas y como en todas las visitas a aquí nos lo pasamos genial. El pub Flookersbrook es fácil de localizar a lo largo de Halkyn Road. Definitivamente vale la pena echarle un vistazo si estás en la zona.

Been wanting to try here for a while but every time I go past it's 3pm and they're tidying up. Anyway today I time to pop in, and I am glad i did. Possibly one of the best sandwiches that has been in my mouth. Loads of flavour and very filling. Keep up the good work and stay open later and ill pop in more often.

Food was fantastic however rhea the shared owner was rude, unreceptive and overall not the experience we were expecting so shall not be returning

Great friendly service from Shan & Ellie today 😊

I will set the scene. It is 3.00pm on a Thursday afternoon. Only 1 other table dining at this time, and they were clearly about to leave. We are staying in the area on business and have walked past it many times. A day off and a stroll out to try after reading the reviews. So we are, what I assumed to be an unexpected welcome table for 2. Wrong. We were shown to a table for 2 at the back under a speaker. We were given menus, and a drinks order was taken. No draught beer, only bottles, in an 80+ seater restaurant? The drinks were delivered promptly. After 15 minutes, yes, 15 minutes, I got up to go and ask if there was any chance of her taking our order? The order was actually taken while I was in the loo! The food was delicious. Salami pizza and salmon tagliatelle. A complimentary limoncello was served with the bill. Will we return? Doubtful. Even though we are here for another 3 weeks.

Always lovely staff and the hash brown bites are incredible

Great local bar with excellent craft beer and service

What a lovely wee spot! I nipped in for a coffee and sandwich and was met with smiley service and an amazing selection of goodies. What made it extra special was the welcome my doggie received too, the lovely lady who was serving me gave him a delicious piece of roast beef- so needless to say Dougal gives it 5/5 too ☺️ Thank you!

The best premium steak pies around!

Very noisy. Busy bar below room loud music until 11.20pm and loud traffic noise. Room not spotless, shower blocked and overflowing. Shower keep stopping. Cracked sink with no plug. Very hard bed. Deco needs a update.

Great place to drink and watch the sport with friendly staff and a great atmosphere

Our favourite place to come for brunch after football. The team, as always, went above and beyond with the orders for our family (all with different dietary requirements). The boys had the classic big breakfast with local products at a great price. I tried the weekend special eggs Benedict and it was amazing. The boys filled their boots. The girls enjoyed new things. The doorstop toast alone is worth the visit. Sadly, no room for my favourite one the menu - parsnip cake, but the cake-away option meant I could enjoy it later. We brought a friend for their first visit and she was blown away.

Fantastic breakfast. We've been all around Chester for cooked breakfast. Cote's in the city centre is our favourite. This place is easily on par with the quality of ingredients and the way it was cooked. Presentation even gets an outstanding mention. Try the cooked breakfast or smashed avocado on toast *****. Saturday morning was quiet, they have decks of cards etc. for you to play while you wait, and even got a shortbread with tea. Fantastic friendly service, what more could you ask for. Will be visiting again very soon.
