Delicious Sunday lunch, everything about it was amazing, the lobster starter dish was unlike anything I’ve eaten before an utterly delicious combination of ingredients. the pork chop on the Roast menu was beautifully cooked and the stuffed Yorkshire pudding was a meal in itself! All the veg was cooked with the most flavour brought out individually and the gravy is the stickiest richest ever! The worst part of the meal was that I didn’t have any room left for pudding!!

Excellent food and service, only the ambience of the restaurant is lacking. In particular, the lighting and background music quality, makes you feel like you’re eating in a cafe, rather than a high end restaurant. Food is definitely 5 stars and the best Chester has to offer!

Food was so tasty, couldn't go wrong with whatever you chose. Service was excellent too. Nice bar area for drinks before and after.... bit cool in there, difficult to avoid the aircon, but a great venue nontheless... will definitely be back.

I'm being picky because I really thought it was a 4.5/5. Food was very good but would like a little more sauce/jus/gravy but that's possibly just our taste. We weren't too fussed with the poached pear as the chocolate sauce was too overpowering, but as usual the food was really good and we will be back quite soon.
