Ordered the "3-4" serving of the steak for 3 of us which was definitely enough for 4 to 5 people. Very delicious steak, cooked well. The chips soaked up all the beefy juices and the cabbage full of bacon was excellent. Good service too, nice staff.

Despite being more than a little short staffed we had a fantastic dinner here. Food was absolutely delish (can't believe I've lived this long never having bacon in my cabbage!) And staff were so friendly and helpful throughout, even though some of our guests were late arriving. Would recommend to anyone who likes a good steak 😍 the chips were also PERFECT!

Excellent food and excellent experience even though we were sat outside in the rain (under a canopy)! We came here when Al Fresco dining was the only option but still had a lovely time. The staff were friendly and the steak sharer was amazing. Definitely worth the price. We are big eaters so went for the 2-3 person option. It was pretty enormous but we only left a handful of chips. The steak is excellent quality and the side of cabbage and bacon was really nice. After a little while, the chips did become a bit soggy as they are all under the meat, but tasty nonetheless.

Nice beef, well cooked. I would give 5 starts if the platter wasn't covered in peppercorn sauce. I would have preferred if it had come separately. But overall great environment and really nice food

Usually amazing service and food, we buy the 70£ platter every visit for 3/4 of us. Until we were presented with a waitress asking randomly one of my friends to leave as apparently he was there earlier on causing havoc. Long story short she assumed my friend was black because he had plaits (he was Asian in fact) and completely mistook him for somebody else. I called her racist and she replied 'my boyfriend is black' tall white woman probably in her 30's. Besides that big up the Chester Arms 10/10 usually and the owner is a nice as you can get.
