The best restaurants serving British food in Cheshire West and Chester North West

Ordered the fish and chips at £17:50 I will let the picture tell the story it was honestly smaller than a kids meal and zero effort put into making it

I really don’t like giving poor ratings because I recognise the difficulties in the hospitality industry at the moment but there were few saving graces here. The Mollington Banastre used to be one of Chester’s best hotels and excellent lunch venues but I hadn’t visited for years. When I saw a voucher on offer for afternoon tea I bought one for my wife and two friends for a trip down memory lane. What a disappointment. The dining room was empty but for us and lacked warmth and atmosphere. The food offering was incredibly poor. The sandwiches lacked taste and imagination, the scones were small and along with the cakes looked and tasted as though they had been bought up the road at Morrisons. The only positive was the service which was good. Afternoon tea isn’t necessarily a good guide to the main aspects of a hotel but the quality and ambiance we experienced give me concern. It will be years again before we choose to come back.

it's closed and gone now a vape shop. Please don't worry Frodsham has many great eateries for you to enjoy.

Went to order a dessert from the “pudding” parlour at 19:05 on a Saturday, to be told they only sell ice cream and stop selling puddings at 7pm. Seems strange when the rest of the market is open until 10

Great time however was a tad dry haha. However good time was had by all. Oh and the toilet flushes itself

Visited Chesters for lunch. The staff were all pleasant, After reading through the menu decided on fish and chips [£10.95] and coke. I didn't order the small portion as I was hungry. When it was brought to the table I've never seen such a small piece of fish and queried the portion size as I thought they had brought me the small one. But they hadn't. I can only assume the small size would have been half a fish finger. On paying I noticed they were charging £2.30 for the coke. It had said on the menu £1.95. When I queried the price I was told the £1.95 was for coke on tap and I'd had a can. RIP OFF PLACE [Or plaice}. AVOID

Better than last time I stayed, would recommend

I came in at 4pm with a friend and chose a bottle that was almost £50....we chose a table in the empty bar/restaurant however as soon as we sat down were asked if we were eating....as we weren't we were asked to move....when we left at 6:40pm there were probably 40+ empty tables.....why ask us to move ??? Jobsworth and ridiculous... Also bar staff training need....when there are guests standing at the bar please at least acknowledge their presence...we were invisible for probably 10 minutes before we were served despite there being 4 staff working the bar....

we have had a few days staying in the hotel on site, wanted something different for breakfast there's not really much to choose from there and then we decided to try here the food was hot and was delivered to the table, it was expensive for what we actually had but cooked well and enjoyable the coffee was the best one I had in days so much better than McDonalds one and costa the man who served us was so pleasant and chatty he was brilliant made us feel really welcome and couldn't enough for us
