Perfectly delicious. I ordered a 8oz Sirilon steak with Peppercorn sauce. The chips were crisp and fluffy, the steak was Perfectly chargrilled and the peppercorn was proper peppery. Fantastic dinner.
I also love having a sweet dessert for afterwards and ordered the apple pie, it came as a mini apple pie that was pipping hot with a nice crunch crust. Very good would defo recommend.

This is definitely not a place for tourists!!
I am on vacation from USA and decided to visit this pub on 25/9/25 at 1020pm with my brother.
We ordered a pint of beer and then asked for another beer at 1045pm. The young red head barmaid behind the bar informed us that they had stopped serving. She then continued to serve other customers. When I asked her why she was serving other customers and not us, she replied that “they were her friends.”
So there is obviously one set of rules for locals or the “barmaids friends” and a different set of rules for those who just happen to be tourists visiting this pub.
After that incident, I saw this notice on the bar ( photo attached ) offering free alcohol to anybody who left the pub a 5-star review on google.
When I pointed out to the barmaid that it is strictly prohibited by google’s reviews policy to give anyone alcohol in exchange for a 5-star review.
(The reasons why this is considered unethical are obvious, but, include inflated google ratings).
Anyway, she simply shrugged her shoulders and said it was nothing to do with her and that her manager did it.
If you are visiting the lovely city of Chester,
I recommend that you avoid this “locals only” pub.

I would highly recommend this pub. Omg the staff are absolutely outstanding. Very attentive. Super polite. The food was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend the Fish Finger sandwich you will be very surprised. Also the fiery chicken. If you like hot then this delight is for you. The young lady and young man, very attentive. We are looking forward to going back. To all involved thank you for a fabulous afternoon. Dave and Mark Parker. Table No 7 xXx

Good atmosphere, reasonably priced drinks. Food looks (and smells) lovely.All credit to the management and staff, arranged for 2 of us to watch our home football team on one TV whilst there was a Premiership game being shown on all the others even though the pub was busy.
Have paid a visit here on our last 3 stays in Chester, and have always had a good time and felt comfortable.

Went in the Red Lion 5.20pm on Saturday went to the bar to order food to be told they had no steak subs,so I then ordered a cheese burger to be told no burgers then the young girl behind the bar told me they had no pizzas no fish and chips so I eventually ordered ham egg and chips as a last resort .Waited 45 mins for the food to arrive which at the point no one had mentioned there would be a long wait I appreciate it was Saurday afternoon but thought it would be courteous to be made aware of the wait. Finally when the food came the ham was brown and didn’t smell great and had a garlicky taste .when I spoke to a young lad about it he said it was ok it was Irish ham (did not know Irish ham was different to ours ) to be fair they gave us our money back but to say I was dissapointed is an understatement my partner ate his meal so we had to go and find somewhere else to eat and sat eating on my own which wasn’t very practical
So won’t be visiting the Red lion any time soon

A must place to visit if you’re in Chester. Great and friendly staff.. Great dining area. Good selection of drinks. Food is outstanding and large portion sizes. You have to try the mega mix grill ( omg )

Service is appalling! Ordered food at 18.07 on the App. Order took a hour to arrive for small plate dishes for 2 people. When asked how long the food would be we were told they were busy and they hadn’t been able to tell us as we had ordered on the App, even though our table number was on the order. The pub was not busy. Food was not constantly being brought out. In fact others were waiting a hour too. Food was ok. Some of the king prawns were over cooked. This experience made us late for our next venue. Will not recommend for food nor service.

Extremely bad experience all around today. Unprofessional worker, over charged by £12, couldn’t get it sorted due to attitude. People walking out due to horrendous service.
Constant slamming and moaning by said worker about boss and everyone else who works there. Food was cold. I had to find someone to come and serve as bar was 7 deep and employee was taking personal calls outside.
I could write a book on the visit and not a good one!! Happy birthday to me, NOT!! Seriously this place needs sorting out
