Food was poor quality and they had run out of ketchup…Ordered the burger, which cost more than a roast dinner at £18.95. It was dry and tasted cheap.Really nice location and building but really let down by the service and food. I’d rather have saved the money and brought a packed lunch.

Great pub in the setting of Chester Zoo. Starters were really good, mains not the best but I think that was partially what we chose. Staff really attentive and helpful. Worth a visit if you're at the zoo, or if you're local, an alternative to your local on a Friday night!

Food was good once it arrived. Waited over an hour for main course. Had to chase! No apology. Unfortunately impacted our time at the zoo!

First visit since they started doing food, and loved it. The interior is lovely and full of interesting photographs of the zoos past, and all the staff we interacted with were very friendly and attentive. We both had the cheeseburger with chips, which was absolutely delicious. The food is on the pricier side, as it's proper restaurant prices as opposed to some of the other food places at the zoo (18.95 for the burger and chips, though on the day we went it was buy 1 main get another half price, so that was an absolute bargain). We also shared a dessert, a pecan and pear cheesecake with pear sorbet which was also delicious. A really unusual dessert, but I love anything pear so had to order it when I saw that on the menu!

Visited the zoo there was a deal on meals 2 for 1 so we popped in at midday there was no seating so booked for 2pm. Returned at 2 to be told some excuse the kitchen wasn't cooking any more so turned away. Mrs was less than impressed!

The food got a 2 or 3 star from me. Had a burger and it was pretty dry and dense. The actual place is really nice though and we had exceptional service from Bethan (or might have been Bethany). Honestly the best service I've experienced in a long time and it's her that earned this 5 star review. Promote this person immediately!

Service was great. Such a cute little restaurant at the zoo. Food was fabulous great fish and chips. My only criticism was that you couldn’t add chicken to the Thai green curry even tho it was options on other dishes.

Food is amazing, just the right amount in a portion that you're full, but not bursting. Definitely one of the pricier options on site (£15-18 for the mains), but worth it for a special treat. The atmosphere inside is lovely as are the staff (shout out to Liv, who was our waitress today and was absolutely lovely!)
