5 stars for everything here. The food was delicious and tasty! Cabbage with bacon/smoked sausage was surprisingly good, crisp chips and salad with the medium rare steak, awesome combination. You can book online even we were late they manage to get a table for us. The lunch is served until 2:30pm we were just on time. The service was very good and we were happy to pay the service fee 12.5% added to the bill, employees were friendly and quick. Feedback from my husband on the IPA was delicious, really good IPA. The atmosphere is great, they have a garden outside for warmer days. Loved the pictures of dogs on the wall, I look forward to going back and bring my dog with us. The place is also pet friendly. Definitely worth a visit!
One of the good places I have been to.nIt’s good, dog friendly. They have Polaroid images of all the dog that visit the pub. Food was tasty and beer was great to
Generous portions of perfectly cooked steak, great for splitting with friends or family. It's a delicious and fun way to enjoy a fantastic meal together.
Visited Chester arms many times over the years. Steak always cooked lovely and the sides are a nice touch.nnI do feel standards have dropped in recent times though. Twice now I’ve waited over an hour for food and we only order one dish for the table the famous steak platter of course.nnFirst photo was 2019 for 2 people, second photo for 2024 for 3 people. Steak portions have shrunk a lot, chips were better back in the day too being a lot crispier verses present day the chips seem to be like chip shop chips. A bit mushy. The ratio of chips to steak has changed a lot so the chips seemed to just bulk up the dish to make it more filling.nnPlus free bread back then used to be a basket for the table, now just a tiny slither per person. It’s only some bread! Surely doesn’t cost the earth to make and is a nice little touch, especially if you need to wait a long time for dinner to be served.nnFinally I prefer to add a tip on at the end at my discretion rather than a service fee. I can understand service fee for large groups but we were just a small table.
Visited 3 times so far, food and service have been consistently top-notch. Free street parking on weekends is a plus. Is there really a better way to treat yourself than their steak platter?
