Visited with family other weekend. Most of us went for the carvery - which was with unlimited veg,…read morepotatoes, chips for £4.15 (Mon - Sat). The different meats were Beef, turkey and gammon. You also got a Yorkshire pudding. (If you go Monday to Wednesday, the meats are pork, turkey and gammon. If you come on a Sunday, its £7.29 but you get more options - roast turkey, beef, pork or mustard glazed gammon, including crackling). I didn't expect too much. Especially for just over £4. Although the beef looked a bit grey, it was OK. Although I poured a load of gravy on it. The gammon was actually pretty decent. The turkey though was VERY dry. The veg was as expected - mostly boiled to death. However, the potatoes actually tasted really good. Also 15% off when we went - after 7pm. I think the offer me have finished now though?? So cant complain too much at that price. If it wasn't for the potatoes, it probably would have got a 2 from me.

Renowned for its carvery dinners, you…read morewill struggle to get in on a weekend, especially Sundays, even though the price is higher than on a weekday. Weekdays are just as busy mind you, with professionals from the local area clamouring to get a quick lunch deal on their midday break. Service isn't necessarily fast as they seem to employ the local village idiot and I invariably tend to get him waiting on my table, and when you consider that its a self-serve carvery, you wonder how hard it is to get drinks and cutlery THAT wrong. Having said that, my mum insists that it is the best carvery in the city, and whilst I admit that the food is good, I wouldn't exactly rave about it. The pub offers other food and light bites, so if you don't fancy a roast there are alternatives, and even though it is in the middle of nowhere the patrons are regular and many, so it never seems to struggle for business.

We booked quickly online.

We had a varied lunch (great steak sandwich and deep fried pigs cheeks....along with a vegetarian gnocchi) a decently priced bottle of chenin and a great traditional pint. The staff we helpful and chatty in a god way, the ambiance delightful and the style and range of dishes really impressive. Lovely views of Chester racecourse and offer vouchers given on paying for future use (sadly we'll not be back in time...) but great marketing. The clean toilets were a credit to the cleaner/s and I complimented the Manager. coming from a hospitality background, I know many places fall down on scuzzy toilets that either smell of wee or too much bleach or a combination of them both! The Architects deserve serious paise. Clean toilets mean a clean kitchen. This place certainly exceeded my high expectations which is rare these days. We'll certainly be back next year!

Not so far from Liverpool near Chester sits this award winning Gastro-pub waiting to be discovered…read moreby foodies from around the region. This is the type of place you luckily stumble across on your day trips to Chester or on the way back from trip to Wales, a sanctuary if you will. Why not be one step ahead of the game, add it to your sat nav and have it in the back of your mind when you are driving on a sunday past Chester? The food is heavenly, there is a pleasant outside area to enjoy your ice cold beverage with some homely food on a bright sunny July afternoon. A family friendly venue there is plenty on offer for the kids with a kids menu. Sundays is naturally teaming with families in the afternoon, so bring your ear plugs because it might get bit rowdy. Now everyone knows I am an absolute suckerooo for Mediterranean food, and guess what there is a bit of Mediterranean influence on the food here as well. It's as if all these amazing places and their proud owners can read my mind. Or perhaps the holiday trends over the last decade are reflecting on our choice of cuisine in the UK. Who knows, who cares the food is to die for.... ok perhaps slight exageration (I wouldn't die for some food.....unless I was starving....anyway read on outside bracket please...)ITS GOOD, the food..!! I would recommend the Lamb Kofta Kebab with Rice, Salad & Mint Yogurt Dip. With the meaty goodness and substantial portion for under a tenner how can you complain? Even if you're not that hungry you can be merry with a platter to share. Again rolling with the Mediterranean wind I would recommend the Mezze platter which comes with Kofta Kebab, Grilled Chicken Pitta with Turkish tomato Sauce, hummus & Yoghurt Dip, absolutely flavourtastic at under £15. I cannot recommend this Ring o Bells enough.... BiIl Murray if you're reading this and are ever in these neck of woods, you best give this place........... a ring a ding ding!!!

The fish was crispy, freshly fried but lacking a bit of salt in the batter, it was good anyway. Fat cut chips were cooked in beef dripping, texturally great but not a favorite, must be an acquired taste . Peas were a combination of mushy with garden peas added, loved them. Sticky Toffee Pudding was a winner and a nice selection of real ales. The place was clean and packed. Service was quick and attentive. Our server was outstanding, fun, smart and knew what she was doing. I would go back next time I'm in Chester area

Really impressed with our midweek lunch at the Saracens head…read more The pub building itself is quite old but has been fully refurbished inside into a comfortable pub and restaurant, more restaurant than pub. There are comfortable sofas and cushions in the front pub area and larger dining area in the middle. Casual, uncluttered and clean lines is the look. We were welcomed and shown to a table overlooking the Leeds - Liverpool canal which passes right outside. The lunch menu is quite extensive with options to cover all tastes. We started with baked camembert with red onion marmalade and shared between us. Well put together and the onion marmalade was the perfect accompaniment. I chose a main of steamed suet pudding of pheasant, partridge and wild mushrooms with garlic mash, red cabbage and cabernet jus. Just excellent. Great British food at its best. The pudding was more like a suet crust pie and the game and mushroom filling was very enjoyable and perfectly complemented by the smoked garlic mash and red cabbage with flavourful jus. I also sampled the roast chicken supreme with pancetta, white beans and colcannon potato cake. Again, really well thought out and prepared with good flavour combinations. Generous portion sizes, just what we wanted on a cold winter's day. Didn't make it to desert but next time... Service was friendly and efficient and prices reasonable for the high quality cooking. Couldn't fault it so a high rating from me and look forward to going back.
