"I saw this place when I was on a trip to Chester, chips looked delicious and had a wide range of sauces and decided to try. Wow these chips were the best I’ve had in my life!! I only ordered a regular but the girl who served me was lovely and gave me a good serving, filled my chips right to the top, amazing value for money. The blue cheese dip was legendary, I’ve always wanted to try blue cheese dip but I’ve never saw it in England before, definitely exceeded my expectations. Would definitely be here all the time if there was one local to me, it’s a shame I live in Manchester! Loved the food and service!"

"I really enjoyed my meal here. I had the warm hummus I was a bit skeptical, but it was so delicious. My only criticism is that it would have to do with a flatbread. My friend had the vegan meatball kebab and also enjoyed his. I'll come back."

"We went to Pizza Express Broughton today, have to say they were brilliant. Missy was our sever and she was lovely, she's definitely an asset that needs to be recognised by the company! Nothing was too much trouble, in fact, all the staff were lovely, despite them being short-staffed due to sickness for which they apologised. There seemed to be an abundance of idiots in there today, you know the ones, professional moaners about nothing in particular, trying to get money knocked off their bills (must have been the rubbish weather! Despite this, Missy and her fellow servers another one called Neve-sorry if we spelt it wrong- were ace, despite the moaners talking to them like something they'd stepped in. Hats off to all of you, can't wait to go back, to the whinge bags, shame on you! Twelve months ago today, I was in hospital having my prostate removed because of cancer, life's too short, get over yourselves and treat these girls with some respect!! Go to **** McDonald's next time!!! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"The dining experience was disappointing due to the subpar quality of the cooking, which seemed to be on par with that of an amateur home cook. While the menu appeared decent at first glance, the dishes were unimpressively prepared and lacking in creativity. I made a last-minute reservation over a busy long weekend when I learned that my son, his girlfriend, and her parents from Korea would be visiting Chester. Many restaurants were fully booked, but the MB restaurant was nearly empty, which should have been a telling sign. I was looking for a pleasant atmosphere with a view of the garden, and while the Mollington Banastre restaurant overlooks a decent lawn, the hotel itself seemed to be lacking in investment. The front car park was riddled with potholes, leaving a poor first impression. The service was good, the ambiance was fine, and the server who took our drink and meal orders was friendly and efficient. However, the lackluster cooking, both in terms of variety and execution, was a major letdown. Although the restaurant positions itself as mid-range, at £165 for six people (with most only having two courses and no coffee), I left feeling disappointed with the evening overall."

"not impressed. 5 minutes before our booking I got in and said hello we've booked a book I was rudely said they've given 're late we've given her table away. I had emails and booking confirmations that our table was for 6 o'clock, but they were shamed that it was booked for 5:30. after the first booking we were asked to send over our food order days in advance, because there were more than 6 of us because the food was freshened....okay but eating was at best sufficient. nothing cried us fresh! we were pushed into a rear room behind a curtain without music or other people, no ambiente at all, while the rest of the place was dizzying. we asked the waitress, who was incredibly rude all night and was short) if we could have music in the room, she turned on the music so loud that we couldn't hear each other and we had to find another waiter to kindly turn it on us. we were really disappointed and wanted to drink one night, but we moved on quickly! we don't want to go back there!"

"I typically don't write reviews, but as someone who used to frequent this restaurant and considered it a favorite place to order from, I am extremely disappointed. My friends and I were having a party and ordered takeout, but only half of our order arrived. We didn't realize this until we started unpacking. I called the restaurant to inquire about the missing items, but the person on the phone was rude and accused me of being a liar. After some back and forth, they assured me that the missing items would be sent out, but they never arrived. Despite multiple calls, the situation was never resolved. I reported the issue to Uber Eats, but they only offered a partial refund. This experience ruined our Saturday night and I will not be ordering from this restaurant again unless they address the issue with their staff."

"The experience was let down by the quality of the cooking which was barely up to that of an enthusiastic but low skilled home cook. The menu looks OK at first sight but the descriptions flatter mundane dishes unimaginatively cooked. I made a late booking over a long weekend when I learnt that my son his girlfriend and her parents from Korea would be visiting Chester. Most places were heavily booked. The restaurant at the MB was almost empty obviously others knew more than I did. I wanted somewhere with a pleasant environment and a garden view. The Mollington Banastre restaurant looks out over a lawn that was OK but the hotel seems to suffer from a lack of investment. The front car park is heavily potholed thereby offering a poor impression on first arrival at the hotel. The ambience was OK and the lady who took our orders for drinks and meals was pleasant and efficient. So : service good, ambience OK, quiet enough in the restaurant for conversations (few other guests! but the cooking needs to improve greatly both in range and execution. I make these comments recognizing that the restaurant is pitching itself as mid range but at £165 for six (most of us had only two courses no coffee I found the evening a disappointment."

"had the worst meal for a long time. my code was over boiled, gummy and tasteless. the meal was hardly warm. my other guests were also not overly impressed by their eating. very disappointed. and to supplement injuries, the service was diabolical slow. it took over an hour to get meals and half an hour to get desserts that were the better part of the meal. I didn't complain as much as it was the point - if they had offered me something else, it would probably have been as long as I had come to the table that my guests would have ended their dinner long ago. but I will never return to that."

"I visited Allium to pick up two pizzas to go, and the entire experience was a disaster from beginning to end. Although the restaurant was empty, I had to wait about 30 minutes only to be informed that they had no pizza boxes for takeout. Instead, I was offered the option to carry the pizzas on plates down the street. So, we opted to dine in. Honestly, I think frozen pizzas from Iceland would have been a better choice; they were awful. The crust was as hard as cardboard—probably frozen beforehand—with just some extra cheese thrown on top. This definitely doesn't reflect the quality of a top chef!"

"We booked to go to The Ship for a family get together. From the time we arrived, we were looked after by the whole team and nothing was too much trouble. From giving us extra portions for starters, so we could split them more easily, to giving us a dash of wine we we joked that some cream had been spilt in an empty glass (which it hadn’t! , the service was exemplary. We were able to stay on our table the whole evening and at no point felt rushed. The food was also amazing, and excellent quality. We will definitely be returning and will rave about this place to anyone who will listen!"

"After booking a table I arrived and there was no table set out for us, it was as if it was an inconvenience. We were provided with a drink and menus, we were not approached once afterwards to ask what we wanted for food or anything. After being sat for more than an hour my year old was getting hungry and bored so wanted to get out of his high chair, we were then asked straight away to pick him up which I get because of COVID but it’s absolutely shocking that we were forgotten about up until that point. Shocking service by the staff and I most definitely wont be returning!"

"The kitchen performance fluctuates between only average and really excellent. The perfectly prepared beef bark. The wine tour didn't convince me. The restaurant recalls a pub, the tables are small and the chairs are not very comfortable. The very high price of almost 200 euros per nose does not seem justified to me. The kitchen can become more consistent and if the restaurant is made even more cozy and more colourful, then the studio Wilma is also worth the price."

"We only recently started going to the Piper as it's under new management. The new landlords are lovely. They made us feel very welcome and the atmosphere is great. The food was excellent value for money and plenty of it! We will now be going on a regular basis. I know it had a bad name in the past but I would encourage anyone to give it another try. It's amazing how new management can make such a difference in the space of 3 weeks!"
