   We were celebrating my son’s birthday and wanted somewhere special for the occasion. We tried the vegan, vegetarian and fish options which were beautifully presented and very tasty. The vegetables with caraway seeds was a revelation. Tamara served us and was extremely attentive and gave an excellent service.

   I booked lunch as a birthday treat for my husband. We received excellent service and the food was delicious. We are zoo members so received the 10% discount which was a bonus. Mixed with a stroll around the zoo, it was a lovely day had by all.

   Menu choices were varied for a lunch time. Steak and Ale pie was very tasty but the new potatoes lacked taste. Savoy cabbage and carrots portion were so small hardly worth having. Chicken ciabatta was bland with no vegetables or salad and plate filled with french fries. No mayonnaise or tomato ketchup pots supplied with it. Overall the rooms very dated and covered in far too many picture frames. Rooms need modernising as table we had wobbled and chairs not very comfortable.

   We booked our table and we’re seated straight away. The waitress was very efficient and remembered us from our previous visit. Being a zoo member and getting 10% discount is a good help in these inflationary times.

    Absolutely amazing service and fantastic venue to have our Father’s Day. I absolutely love the Sunday roast. Every part of the service was fantastic and the staff were fabulous. They were sooo lovely to our children too and made sure they were happy with what they ordered. Highly recommend.. 5star!

    It was our first time there and we had been told how nice it was and the photos are beautiful so we were excited. I couldn't get a table on Sunday for father's day so we decided to come on the Saturday so we could have a nice meal but when booking noone advised there was a wedding on the same time therefore the place was very empty and quiet and we were sat by the kitchen doors in a relatively dim room. There was no atmosphere and for our first time I would say it was disappointing

    Lovely lunch in the Oakfield. It’s always good food although I wish the chefs would be a little bit more adventurous with their vegetarian dishes. I’m fed up of Sweet potato dishes being the best they can offer. Saying that I had it as I don’t eat pie( the other veg offer) and it was nice. It seems that every restaurant is serving sweet potato as their veg option at the moment and to be honest I’m not that keen.

    Amazing restaurant, service outstanding only reason I marked the food down slightly was it is a very limited menu and the only thing I wanted was not available but what I did get in the end was lovely. It is a beautiful place and the food is very tasty we would go back again.

    The previous lost two stars -one for the waitress who took our ground pepper pot away as it was not working and came back with it after I had helped myself to one from another table The other because we were seated very close to a very disruptive child and his father which was very distracting

    Lovely experience visiting The Oakfield at Chester Zoo. We have been wanting to visit for a long time and we weren't disappointed when we did. I was able to book a table easily on the morning we visited. The whole building was beautiful including the toilets. The staff were friendly, approachable and attentive. The service was timely and all our needs attended to. The food was delicious and fresh. Lovely place and we will be visiting again as soon as we can
