   Thank you to Tamara for greeting us on arrival & being very attentive to us, my 7 year old daughter looks forward to The Oakfield for lunch, each time we come to the Zoo, which is often being members. Tamara & all the staff are very competent, friendly & have their eye on their game! Yesterday was perfect given my daughter had just broken up for school so a trip to the zoo was ideal. The facilities are immaculate & impeccably maintained, one of our favourite places to come for lunch, thank & see you again very soon!

   Just a lovely and outstanding place to have lunch when visting Chester Zoo. Set in the orginal building where the zoo was born back in the 1930's. From the intial greeting from one of the management team. the whole expereince was just outstanding. Great food backed up by even better front of house service. It's a must when visiting the zoo.

   First time to both Chester Zoo and The Oakfield. Managed to get seated before my reserved time which was a nice touch. Great staff & service. Food was absolutely sublime.

   Very high standard of service. Food quality excellent. Roast beef melted in your mouth. Excellent value for money, even got my 10% off for being Chester zoo members. Could do with a few more meat or soup starter options.

   It looked great, inside and out, we were escorted to our table quickly, our waitress was great. It was let down by a dirty and very sticky table. They have a very limited menu and had even run out of some things, we didn't end up eating in there, a bit of a disappointment.

   Food was lovely, quality of table service was good, however, don't think there is enough staff for all tables, so often had to wait a long time to get someone's attention. For was really good, took a long time to come out, approx 50min. There was a problem with the gas, so beer on tap was flat.

    I ordered brie & apple waldorf salad with oatcakes, but there was no apple, no walnuts and no dressing. So I ended up with frisee lettuce, some green grapes , a few small slices of celery and two slices of brie. It was dry and pretty unappetizing. The ambience was great as was the service, just the kitchen needs attending to.

    Treated ourselves to lunch at The Oakfield as part of a day visit to Chester Zoo. We were seated in the lovely conservatory which has a really nice ambience. Interesting menu, competitive pricing, beautifully cooked food & outstanding service. Recommend the steak & ale pie, honey glazed belly pork & lemon posset with rhubarb & ginger crumb. Well worth a visit & book a table to avoid disappointment.

    Had a lovely meal at the zoo but was disappointed at the limited menu. It was downscaled during the pandemic but hadn’t hey returned to what it once was. We were also disappointed that the menu on the website didn’t match the menu being used on the day. That all said, we’ll be back.

    Absolutely super food delivered within about 10 minutes to the table lovely surroundings and fantastic service. You can’t really fault this menu Or this venue. My only comment would be Please bring back the vegetarian pasta . Specifically the vegan butternut squash which my daughter absolutely loved last time we were there however this time she had to make do with a standard child’s macaroni cheese!

    We liked the doors being open as it made the air circulate well. We were with my mum who is 91 and we still want to be careful about covid. The drinks took a little while to arrive but our server kept coming to tell us what was happening. A very good experience. Thanks

    Really enjoyed our afternoon tea at The Oakfield. Everything was freshly made with quality ingredients. Catered well also for our daughter who was very happy with the experience too. Would highly recommend and would come back again for this and other items off the main menu. Great experience which exceeded expectation!

    I recommend to go there if you are planning to stay in the zoo for a full day. Make sure to watch the kcal next to the menu choices so you are not disappointed with the amount of food. I had a burger which was great, loved the fries that came with it too.

    Amazing food, super friendly and helpful staff. When we arrived we where greater by friendly staff who brought over a glass of champagne as we where celebrating our anniversary. Food came out fast and was cooked to perfection, when the bill came we where shocked a out how affordable the was for having drinks and 3 courses it cane to £50. Definitely worth a visit would definitely eat here again
