"This pub could be so much better. Interiors are grim and shabby (peeling plaster on walls and ripped fabrics on chairs are not appealing at all). The dining area is a 1970s brown and is cold and without atmosphere. Food is average which is a shame as the service is good. The food we ordered was well below average being both tasteless and unimaginative. A big menu shake up with some better quality ingredients and better presentation would go a long, long way but until that happens and the place puts some money into its interiors we would not go back."

Had a great stay at The Carden Arms. Everyone was so friendly and food/ room fantastic. We will definitely chat to Rob at the bar again on our next visit.

A night's stop. Food was superb, pub atmosphere lovely and my room was amazing. I was going to stay in a local hotel (similar name) no doubt generically nice but so glad I didn't. My advice, stay here!

Beautiful pub just outside of Chester, our food was delicious and staff were so welcoming. Yorkshire puddings with our roast dinner were huge and my son’s steak was “so so good mum!”. Booked again for Mother’s Day, can’t wait!

The location is a great weekend venue, rooms are luxurious and full of beautiful antique furniture and surroundings. The bar is a real comfortable “locals” venue but everyone is so welcoming. The restaurant is great and service excellent.

Stayed for 2 nights to attend an event nearby. A very busy and lively 'local ' pub, an old coaching inn renovated in a most interesting way without loosing its essential character. Staff all friendly and efficient. Breakfasts and dinner all good.

A bustling old school but updated, nice country pub, very friendly and attentive staff and the best fish and chips, steak, and burger going not just tasty, well cooked and with lovely details, but big portions and good value too. We had a relaxed family meal in a pleasant and comfortable dining area for £30 each for two courses and drinks.

I stayed at the Carden Arms for three nights. My single room was quite small but it was clean, everything worked, the bed was comfortable and at night it was very quiet, so I slept well all three nights. A small but healthy continental breakfast was provided in the morning and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would happily go back again, many thanks.

Booked the single room. Well appointed and cosy. Good bed and shower was roomy and powerful. I had an evening meal which was very good. Minus points were check in was from 4 and nobody at the pub untill 4.30 and the breakfast was from 8 and we were all waiting at 8.15 when the lady arrived. It was noted all guests were not happy as we all needed to be away early. Other than those points it was very good.

"I booked a table for 2 really last minute on a busy December night, piccolio’s manger cosimo took the booking, he was so friendly and helpful that we really needed after a hard work in the cold winter weather! we went in and the restaurants that were breathtaking have woken us! the decor is stylish and above all it was so warm and cozy what we needed, we were greeted with smiles all around by every worker and was immediately taken on our table, without waiting time what ever! we were so swollen! Shortly after we sat, we tamara welcomed them beautiful, well presented and extremely polite. we thought up the menu, while tamara served us the most delicious Rosè Prosecco and took our orders. it was a hard choice, as we wanted to order one of all, the menu choices sound exquisite! so much choice and catering for all food requirements. my own and my friend decided to go for the spaghetti frutti di mare, which was absolutely inconceivable! muddle, mush and calamari topped with a huge garlic king prawn! it didn't take long until there were two empty teller and full bell! we stayed and talked together about the life and there was no hurry to move us from table to tamara has checked us we were so glad to have chosen piccolino chester for our girly dinner date and just wanted to say a massive thank you to cosimo, tamara and the piccolino team. I can't wait to come back to another fantastic evening."
