We were due to stay for our anniversary but my husband’s mum was moved to end of life care so had to cancel. Sadly for us, we missed the 48 hour notice by 2 hours we phoned as soon as we knew but our request to move the booking was flatly refused and we were told we would be charged regardless, which we were. My mother in law passed away shortly afterwards and I can honestly say, the lack of compassion, understanding and flexibility was astounding. We go to Chester every year for our anniversary but won’t ever book here again. I understand that business is business but under circumstances like this, there really is no excuse for such a heartless way to run it. One star because I had to to enable the review to be submitted.

The food was ok but very basic .. I had Hunters chicken with jacket potato .. I can 't understand why, as a business, they can 't add a small side salad or some veg to pretty the dish up Husband and the steak and ale pie and the buttered veg was about 4 green beans, so it was a bit of a letdown for the food .. flavours were nice but wouldn 't go back for food in there again .. we like the pub itself, service is always warm welcoming and wouldn 't hesitate to call in for a drink .. It 's especially lovely Christmas time in there if you 're ever there for the Christmas markets.

Went for an evening meal. Beer (brewed on site and admittedly very good was £5.50 per pint which is about £1.20 £1.30 over the odds for this part of the country. Very limited menu with fish and chips at £17.95 (again ridiculous price locally . We had decided to 'suck it up ' (we had booked, after all but then they told they 'd run out of chips! How can a pub run out of chips? Admittedly manager(? was politely apologetic. It 's a city cente pub and was very quiet at 8pm on a Tuesday evening no surprise. A place to be avoided until they improve their menu and drop their prices by 20 30

You will pay over the odds for a meal or a pint in this Oak Beamed Hotel. Lunch menu £17.95 for a single course and £5.50 for a pint of John Smith's Bitter. Locals seem to avoid the place as other premises are a lot cheaper. The choice is yours.

Loved the slightly creaky floorboard and slanting stairs all adds to the quirkiness. Will certainly stay here again.

Again nothing was to much trouble I spoke to one of the guys and they revoked us in for my birthday in December free of charge as a good will gesture, I can't wait to stay and try more beautiful meals and beer 5 star

Love the convenience of the place being in town centre but have definitely been put off by this stay

This time we were placed on a table that wasn't very well lit in all honesty. It was positioned in a place tthat was used as a throughfare by people. They were actually quite close and this made me feel uncomfortable. Would it possible to screen off this section so people have to walk round rathe than cutting through please? This spoiled a little bit what otherwise would have been an excellent meal and I would still eat here again (having eaten here many times previously). Were I offered this table again as it currenttly is I would ask if we could sit somewhere else.
