We were quite lucky as The Oaklands was opposite the B&B we were staying in. We had food there on our first day in Chester. We were anxious as the footie match was on and we realised they showed the sport on the TV. I know it isn't everyones ideal to have the footie on whilst eating or drinking. The... More

This is part of the Greene King Chain..Hungry Horse Restaurants. We had a meal and it did the job very well. Great value for money and the food was well presented and hot. Nice old building and comfortable inside. Service was good and we got the meal to our table quickly and efficiently. Wii go back if in Chester. More

Went here for a family birthday meal early on a Saturday evening. There were only 4 of us, so the order was pretty straightforward. The children's meals arrived first, which was good.

I went to the Oaklands quite recently for a meal with some work colleagues. I have been here a few times before. A good night out. Can get a bit noisy on a Friday but not that bad. Food is pretty good and good value for money with some good offers. Veggie choices can be a bit limited. Would have... More

My friend and I dined here due to a recommendation from a friend and the foodwas excellent vfm. They had real ale, too and that was well kept, but we didn't stay overnight, so won't comment on the accommodation. If you want good food at a decent price, this is as good as anywhere and the service was good too. More
