Five of us had a delicious Sunday lunch here today. Good size portions with lamb that fell off the bone, the best gravy, several different accompanying fresh vegetable sides, Yorkshire Puddings that had substance and taste to them rather than being just tasteless inflated things. Really good mashed and roast potatoes too, (you have to have good roast potatoes to have a good Sunday lunch in my opinion) 😁. Definitely good value for money. In addition, was impressed with all the staff, being cheerful and attentive. Great local pub atmosphere and nice to see a steady flow of visiting walkers taking advantage of the facilities and warmth of the open fire. Dogs welcome too 👍.
Highly recommend.
The best stopover we've had! Beautiful pub in beautiful setting. Flat carpark you're allowed to stay in with your campervan if you frequent the pub. And you won't regret it, Liz is the nicest landlady and we spent all evening hanging out with joyous locals playing music and chatting i
front of the roaring fire. Has a dart board, nice beers and dog friendly. Only food on Sundays but Liz let us eat our dinner snacks in the pub. We will return! Theo & Sorrel
Best pub in the area by a country mile! Nothing compares! Superb bar staff especially the young lad named Dan, very polite and well mannered. Dan was a great host, will definitely be returning soon!
Advertised as the best zoo in the world, and I for one can well believe it!
Nice and big enclosures for the animals, who all appear to be content
Also the abundance of trees, plants, shrubs and flowers in the grounds are fabulous
Very impressed by the fact that you can hire a mobility scooter or wheelchair FREE of charge! This came in handy for my elderly mother (must book in advance) thos service I believe is run by a charity and do accept donations
My mother and kids enjoyed chester zoo immensely and we will definitely be returning
One criticism (as a smoker) the smoking areas are not sign posted and very difficult to find
What a pub! A brilliant traditional English pub! Absolutely fantastic staff, Liz & Dan create the most inviting and wonderful atmosphere, best pub around!
Fantastic to visit this wonderful pub have been going to the star since the early 1980s. great landlady, excellent beer and interesting clientele.
Great little country pub, good prices for the drinks, the staff are fast and friendly not a bad word to say
Liz serves the best pint of Bass in the area great pub very friendly one of my favourites
Went down to Stoke to watch Burnley play them and was looking for somewhere to stay overnight to stay in my camper van. It’s a good little pub, the landlady and her son were both very friendly & nice. Like everyone else says locals are really lovely & chatty, not like most places where everyone keeps themselves to themselves. A brilliant place, makes you want to move there :-)
Great food, beer very well kept, frienldly and great atmosphere
