Visited the Chester fields a few times now for dinner. I keep meaning to go for lunch and a few drinks outside to take in the gorgeous views but still waiting for some good weather!! Typical England! Overall it is a beautiful place, stunning food, fantastic atmosphere and always had good service which is why we keep returning.

What a fantastic Sunday lunch. I'm a Sunday lunch veteran and dine out every Sunday. The Chester fields consistently delivers an excellent roast. On the last trip however, sunny weather, lovely drinks, great service, but the food...... The beef was just incredible. It doesn't often come rare but this was melt in the mouth and superbly cooked. One of the... More

Came on Saturday evening for a lovely meal. Staff were very friendly happy and helpful and the service all evening was excellent. Food was also very good as we're the views and ambience of the restaurant. Overall very enjoyable evening we will be returning.

I called into the chesterfields for a coffee.. A lovely location with absolutely stunning views.. Unfortunately the staff never had one smile between them.. The only smiling faces to greet us were those of the cleaners who obviously take pride in they're work which shows in they're personalities.. Pity all your staff don't share there smile.. Will gladly visit again... More

Dear Johnny1961l, Thanks for your extremely valuable comments. As you can see by the many reviews we've had on TA, this is quite out of character for our team. I don't know what was going on that morning but it sounds like Tracy our cleaner was far more on the ball than the Front of House team. She can be... More

We actually went to go to the Nags Head which was over the road on a Groupon deal and it was shut down. So we called into Chester Fields which is over the road and we were really impressed. Really pleasant staff. Food was excellent and a big plus for the chunky chips!! It really nice inside and we will... More

When it first opened my wife a I went fairly often and enjoyed the views and attractively decorated pub. The food was okay and despite some previous comments on here we felt that the pricing was fair. However, this pub is seriously lacking in character. The staff seem uninterested and I have often felt like a burden especially when they... More

Thanks for this review and I have to apologise for what appears to be an example of poor service on your last visits. I assure you that the team are normally very happy when they work. I hope it's not because I refused some pay rises recently!!! On a serious note, i'll look into this as this really isn't what... More

Me and my partner went here a few weeks ago and we both had food poisoning! After making the management aware,the response we had from them was awful! Very unprofessional! The food is very expensive and the staff lack experience to work in an expensive restaurant. we will not be returning any time soon! All in all,a dreadful experience!

It's a shame that you've had to resort to a public domain to continue your unsubstantiated claims. I'll quote your last e mail to myself 9 days after the alleged allegation on the 29th April, "I have not had the tests results back yet but i will forward them to you once i receive them". It is now 27 days... More
