Chester Arms - Carta

This is hands down the best roast that I’ve had in a long time, we had two roast pork which were a great choice! Lovely staff that seated us with no booking, would 100% recommend for Sunday roast. Can’t wait to come again.

If you want a fabulous Sunday roast then it’s worth the queue, best to get there around 20mins before it opens at 12. A good nut roast for us veggies too!! Food well cooked, tasty, lots of it and all arrives on a hot plate.

I’ve been meaning to come here and try the steak platter for a couple of years now and I finally came here on a rainy Tuesday night with a good friend and indulged . The place was busy and very welcoming, from the person on the door to our wonderful server Sarah The food was delicious and well priced great wine beer atmosphere. A must visit if you’re in town .

What a cool place. We were meeting friends and decided on The Chester Arms and what a good choice it was. We knew about the Steak platter, so that was our choice. It did not disappoint, well cooked and great flavours. We were able to just finish ours, so a good size meal for 2. Also hats off to the staff who are pleasant, friendly and a credit to the business.

The steak platter it’s the best you can get. Not worth to eat a steak anywhere else in Oxford. Great amount and great price. Been there a couple of times and loved it. Staff was really nice too. They are really busy so need to understand if sometimes it’s a bit slow. No wi-fi but being off phones and socialize more doesn’t hurt. Wait on as walk-in can be annoying sometimes. But great place overall

Food great! Beef and chicken platter is excellent. The queue, no booking system must suit the pub financially but really puts me off returning. We arrived at 11.30 to queue. Luckily not raining. Pub opens at 12 and then they seat you in order. You sit and wait as they then take orders in order. It makes it feel like it’s not customer focused. The food and service once seated was really very good. We asked for more gravy came v quickly. A minor point but I did miss parsnips… not sure if they usually serve parsnips.. Ver carta

We came twice this month and both tines every single staff member was super friendly, smiley, kind. We felt so welcome. We ate the steak platter and it is heavenly. Perfectly cooked high quality beef with delicious cabbage, salad and chips. A big portion and yes they offer boxes to take food home. Very good value for money we felt. The interior is really cosy and outside the patio amidst trees and if you look at the houses, they make a picture because they are each individual, colourful and cute. Perfect, and thank you staff/chefs.

Visited as a family of 6 (one small child) to celebrate my son's birthday. We had a lovely waitress serve us. There was however another waiter who seemed to be in charged of service, and we got a very offish vibe from him as soon as we sat down, just quite abrupt and no friendliness at all. I had brought a caterpillar cake, just a bit of fun and more so for the little one as they love so sing happy birthday and blow out the candles. Our waitress asked if we wanted napkins which we politely accepted, however the male waiter then come to our table to advise there would be a £1 per head cakeage charge. I could not believe it, I've never been charged this in any restaurant before, and I've been...

My partner and I visited the Chester Arms on an impromptu visit to our home town. The Chester was packed on a Monday evening, which is usually a good sign. On arrival no tables were free, so we were given an approximate wait for a table, which was pretty accurate. We sat in the lovely outdoors area and enjoyed a drink while we waited. The host came out to collect us when our table was free. From start to finish the experience was brilliant: the service was friendly and efficient, the food wonderfully presented and very tasty. Even the owner Becky, popped by our table to say hello and check that everything was as it should be. We will certainly visit again next time we’re in Oxford. When chec... Ver carta
