The best restaurants in Cheshire West and Chester North West

A small cafe situated in Tesco at Helsby. A lovely bright cafe with a nice big window. Tables were clean but due to the style of the chairs we were sitting in there were alot of crumbs around the edge. Friendly staff and efficient service. They do have a limited food menu compared to other Tesco's but a very good hot drinks menu.

Food great However cash only and not warned of this when booking or on arrival. After we'd scrabbled around to see what we had (not enough)they pointed about a cash machine across the road! Also confusion in that there are two two different TripAdvisor entries the them , this one and one which also includes comments which must have come for their predecessor (Sizzlin Spice)

Came to the market for the first time today, a few eateries but we chose Laura’s, lovely bacon and egg toastie x 2, one tea and one coffee, just over £8 which is excellent value, will eat again when next at the market.

Cheap and cheerful pub grub. Nice staff.

Used as a venue for our club meeting/social event. Very helpful staff, semi private area reserved and allowed us to use TV screen to show photos. We will be back. Many thanks.

Lovely cosy venue, great food and drink, friendly helpful staff

Went with friend for first Christmas lunch of the season. Served by Luke and Sian and the service was excellent and they were very attentive to our needs. Main Turkey Dinner was lukewarm and I asked for it to be reheated which was taken care of, but Turkey dinner needs to be piping hot. Food was otherwise good. I'm returning again for another festive lunch soon.

Truly great christmas meal fantastic food and friendly helpful service.

I wanted to right a review just about the menu .we are a regular visitor to the faulkner ever year .so this I was checking out the Christmas menu. On first look it looks very nice .however the price have increased a lot .yes I know prices have gone up .but it's a pub .and the extra are priced at £5 for extra potatoes etc. Seems well over priced. And I have just read below that they have still got on that silly server charge. Why or why have they put this on .yes staff need a tip but I personally like to give direct .and when we was there last year .I know the girl was not happy when we asked to take it off . So unfortunately we won't be going back. For the future. The hotels round Hoole allway recommend this pub .but save your self from this place don't waste your money.

Lovely service, good was lovely, and great price, will go again

The three of us were expecting the daytime half price menu deal until the charming waitress/manager Nella explained that this only applied on Saturday and Sunday but, it being Friday, we could have the two course special menu for £25 (including a full sized bottle of wine!) instead. Basic arithmetic indicated that this deal was approximately half price. All of our food was excellent and efficiently served with the house red being very much to our liking. Well done Nella and the other staff. We will be back on our next trip to Chester in early December.

Nice pub, definitely coming back....

Excellent pub with great staff and food

We came for a birthday dinner for my husband but sadly we were both underwhelmed by the food. The snacks to start were delicious but not all dishes that followed were as successful. Some of the flavours of the dishes were a little jarring but two of the dishes were actually difficult to eat. My Cornish bluefin tuna, rather than being melt in the mouth, was tough to cut through and the white tendon was still in place which wasn’t chewable so I had to spit it out. It was also served with small discs of radish which were raw, so the whole dish was off, even though the ponzu dressing was tasty. Ordinarily this would have been my favourite. The main course was squab pigeon but was served with the wing, including foot and claws, so was a bit too much reality for me and made us feel sad about the food rather than joyful. The waitress weirdly made a point of highlighting which bit was the heart as ‘she’d like to know what she was eating,’ so I don’t even think she was on board with this dish. To be fair to the restaurant we were given the chance to review the menu when having pre dinner drinks and we were asked if we had any comments. I can’t recall however whether this detail was in there. The wine flight however was really good with some really interesting selections such as the dessert wine with rose water. The sommelier at least had a bit of personality. Overall due to us not enjoying a couple of dishes and not bowled over by the rest, we came away feeling disappointed and not value for money. Sadly the foot is all I can think about!!

Always well presented tasty good, great choice of menus. Relaxed , clean environment. Polite and friendly staff
