I had a spooktacular time at Ye Olde Kings Head (aka My Haunted Hotel) with the ladies! We received a friendly welcome and enjoyed some wickedly delicious meals with menu names that sent shivers down our spines. The historic and spooky vibes, plus a roaring fire, made it an unforgettable haunt-tastic experience! The icing on the eerie cake – the view of the spooky doll shop across the road cranks up the vibe at Ye Olde Kings Head! Talk about a perfectly haunted setting for a meal of thrills and chills. ?

A great pub, staff very helpful. I saw a black dog, a parrot and a lady in dark clothing with a white veil or cloth over her face. These were spirits before you ask. The lady was not very happy and seemed upset. The dog was about the size of a lab and just pottering around the place. As for the puppet In The fire place I did not feel anything untoward, but not to say its good or bad. Being a physic medium for years it's not unusual. Wod defo go back for a hunt or sleep over. One of the pubs In Chester I have not done a ghost hunt as the medium..

I visited here for a meal on my 40th birthday. The staff were lovely, the food was delicious and the unspoiled historical features are so amazing to see. Thanks for a great evening!

An historical pub which has loads of character, an open fire place, a great playlist in the background and a cracking pint of Cruzcampo, happy days!

Okay, so this review will be dual --- my family and I stayed here to do the My Haunted Hotel ghost hunt. When we got in, the staff was super-friendly, and the food was very good. Beer was great. The pub was excellent, with a spooky atmosphere. The ghost hunt was awesome.... they had gear and they assigned us areas to investigate. Some people were more experienced and brought their own gear. Truthfully, I think we had a several paranormal experiences. I'm fully aware that it could have been a set-up, but the pub's owner and his partner seemed earnest, and as I said, others had their own gear that seemed to be picking up activity. My daughter and I are convinced we had an experience, whereas my wife was more skeptical. More on that in a minute. The hotel situation sucked. At the end of the ghost hunt, at about 1am, you go back to your room. They don't launder the linen, so you're advised to have your own or a sleeping bag, which we did. No towels either. Even without the 'activity', it was not a comfortable place to sleep. If you're on the fence about going, I'll say one last thing...... we only made it to 4am, and then we fled like the family in Amityville Horror! There were knocks on our door throughout the night (didn't open it, and the hallway had no tell tale footsteps of people). So, while we all have a shred of doubt, we believed enough that we basically ran out at 4 and slept in the car!!! Not proud. I'd do it again, but the next time I'd rent a room down the road to go to after the ghost hunt!
