Nearly all good. My meal - lasagne - was lovely. My friend’s meal not so good, but the manager was excellent. She replaced the meal, and this one was good.

The staff were attentive without over doing it and very pleasant. The food was generously portioned and very tasty. My wife had the lamb roast and I had sirloin both of which were very good. We are on holiday in Chester but will definitely come back again this week.

Visited the piper as we read good reviews, on arrival we didn’t expect food to be great just average pub food as decor looked like it needed a bit of an update. Staff were so friendly as we weren’t from area and food was fantastic and fresh.. would visit again if we were in area

First time we have visited here. We went for dinner and at first I wasn’t too impressed with the table we were sat at. However the food and service made up for this easy. The kids loved their meals and with dessert included were over the moon, they were even given a chocolate bar before they left. The staff were fab and made the visit much better than I initially thought. Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Very slow service, mainly because of one poor girl doing all the work, but once the food arrived it was great. Really lovely food served nice and hot. Annoying bloke at the next table - don't know how he ate his food as didn't stop talking long enough to put anything in his mouth, ironically complaining at one point about someone he knows who never stops talking! However, can't blame The Piper for that. In summary, great but not if you're in a hurry!

Food adequate. Was made to sound posher by our waitress but it was nothing special. Mains took just under an hour to arrive. Management were overrun by gypsies that were letting their children run around and weren’t being strict with them. It’s a shame as staff are lovely and we enjoy the weekly quiz but Overall, medium quality food and on the night, terrible atmosphere.

If even the saying don't judge a book by its cover is true then it very much applies to this place. I would have driven past this place because of its facade. I'm glad I wasn't driving and actually walked in. The food, went for Sunday Lunch, is delicious! It is the best value roast I have had in a very long time. The quality of the meat is top excellent well done to your supplier and chef for producing top quality no nonsense food. The service is honest and friendly. Really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back.

Pub needs refurbishing. However the staff more than made up for this. The Sunday Lunch was excellent. We all enjoyed the meals we had. Manageress was particularly helpful.
