The Pheasant Inn

Stayed one night at the Pheasant on a midweek break. It turned out that we arrived on the first snowy day of the year. If anything, the snow added to the already considerable charm of the old inn, nestled in a fold of the Peckforton hills. We were greeted by the hardworking and personable Alisha, who looked after us brilliantly during our stay. We were quickly checked in and directed to our room in the old barn. The room was very comfortable and wonderfully warm, which was welcome, given that the external temperatures were hovering around zero. Standards of housekeeping are impeccable at the Pheasant. The bedroom and bathroom were extremely clean and appeared to have been refurbished relatively recently. The double bed was very comfortable and sleep quality was good. Tea and coffee making facilities were provided. The bathroom was equipped with high quality toiletries. Drinks and dinner at the inn made for a highly enjoyable evening. The food is high-end gastropub and was appreciated by both of us. Breakfast the following day consisted of a wide choice of cereals and juices. There was also an extensive cooked menu. The “full English” was excellent. The stay flew by, and we were sorry to leave. It certainly won’t, however, be our last visit. This wonderful old inn offers visitors the finest traditional British hospitality. It is comfortable, informal and welcoming. The staff are outstanding. Recommended in the highest possible terms.

Fabulous overnight stay meeting up with friends. The 6 of us stayed in rooms in the barn and they were gorgeous with huge comfy beds a clean bathroom with funky wall tiles and high end bathroom products. Great tea & coffee supplied in the room too. We had drinks and snacks early afternoon and then two course dinners in the evening followed by breakfast. All meals were delish and very well presented. Loved the options for furry friends although we didn’t have any dogs with us, but great idea! Staff were all excellent and so friendly and helpful. They were so patient with us when we were last in the bar by a long chalk and they just let us carry on with our catch up whilst keeping us well supported with food & drinks. We will All be back! Fabulous little place!

Visited The Pheasant Inn, Chester in early November 2024 for a meal with my wife. We started our meal with the Garlic bread and Scotch Eggs, followed by two ribeye steak and Chips - the meal was delicious but the service in the restaurant was a little slow.
