“Such an awesome idea. This art cafe is great for a range of drinks and snacks. Great friendly staff and in a very gorgeous part of Chester. You can paint pottery while having a drink and they then fire it for you. Perfect for a date, friends or a party. Highly recommended”

“Had an amazing roast dinner today! The beef was so good and my wife had the belly pork which was also amazing! The kid’s roast was great too with lots on the plate! Great staff and friendly service as always! Highly recommend!”

“Four of us went yesterday lunchtime and everything was excellent. Wonderful atmosphere, very well decorated for Christmas. The food was excellent as was the service, Kirsty who looked after us very friendly and efficient. Highly recommend.”

“Stayed overnight whilst in the area for a friend’s birthday party. Lovely, clean room with spacious bathroom - shower looked like it had been installed days ago. The best breakfast I’ve had for a long time - freshly cooked eggs royal. Really extensive breakfast menu and very reasonably priced. All cooked to order. Beautiful presentation. Delightful staff.”

“Excellent food, very good service/staff. The venue was alot better than expected.”

“Our book club meets here regularly and we absolutely love it! The vibe is always cozy and welcoming—perfect for good chats and great food. Big shoutout to Olivia—she’s amazing! Super friendly, always on top of everything, and just makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for any group hangout or chill dinner spot. We feel lucky to have found it! They also cater to our gluten free members fabulously, you can’t taste the difference!”

“Fireworks. Food and atmosphere was brilliant, my sister’s family and my family had a really good time. (Family of 8) Two young girls who looked after the Sunter table were brilliant. Especially the young girl with brown hair, who took over half way through and took desert orders. She was brilliant with the kids. Great night thanks team.”

“What a gem. Hadn't booked but they kindly fitted us in, and I'm glad we went. The food was spectacular with a great choice from the menu. Only down side was that I was a little disappointed with the amount of vegetables/ potatoes that came with it. Easily resolved by ordering some more, but it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Staff were polite and helpful, and although the restaurant was fully booked, we weren't at time made to feel that we had to go. Would easily recommend to anyone who comes to Chester and fancies an Italian.”

“Excellent experience to dine here these two nights I stayed in Chester. The first night, I ordered steak, medium rare, the meat was really well prepared. The taste, the seasoning was super tasty. Tonight, my husband and I ordered lamb chops, it was AMAZING!!!! The sauce was so tasty. It’s definitely worth coming again.”

“Lovely little pub, staff really friendly and the food is really good quality. Lovely atmosphere and dog friendly. I'd recommend this to friends and family and wouldn't hesitate to go back”

“Great find off the beaten track alongside a canal. This spot offers a great relaxing atmosphere with comfortable indoor or outdoor seating and friendly staff. Great selection of Gin's and beers on offer, we didnt have food here so cant comment there. Well worth the visit. While in Chester, this a must visit.”

“I was in Chester for holiday with my mother. And 2 Times i was here to eat some british-indian food. And i can tell: it was just amazing here! First time i ate chicken madras and the second time i have eaten chicken korma. Both Was just great - very good Taste of the sauce and the chicken was really Tender. Also aß an appetizer i have had some lamb tikka - that was great also! I have been to chester before and went to another indian restaurant. But it was not nearly aß good, as here. I hope, i will come back again to chester - then i will be definitly eating here again!”

“I received a warm welcome as I popped in to the ship inn today. A very kind gentleman closely resembling Harry Hill even showed me to a fabulous upstairs seating area. This was perfect for a warm summers day as the breeze through the bifolds was most welcome. The food came promptly and was home cooked. On Mondays it’s even half price! A surprise find as I don’t often cross over the river. The Ship Inn is situated on the river Dee bridge. On this occasion I was walking but suspect there’s a small car park opposite. The ground floor is accessible and has a loo situated here for those with mobility or creaky knees you should be fine. Nice beer lovely food and very welcoming staff I highly recommend and won’t leave it so long to cross the river next time!”

“First time having Christmas dinner in a restaurant/pub. What can I say , food was outstanding. The Chef Ryan certainly knows how to prepare and present the dishes. Service was brilliant by Marco who was really friendly and attentive. We enjoyed it so much we are hoping to book again for next year.”

“Gorgeous food! Very friendly and accommodating staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Lovely atmosphere and good value for money. Definitely recommend and will be returning. Katie was a fab server and the chef Alan made our choice of food easier with his recommendations.”

“Just spent a weekend at The Golden Eagle. The room was lovely and breakfast was delicious. All the staff were super friendly and very helpful. Will definitely be returning.”

“Had a table for 2 on Sunday 24/08 at 3.30pm. Arrived slightly ahead of time. Table ready. Food delivered in a timely fashion. Wow! Good home cooked Sunday roast. We couldn’t finish it! Staff excellent and friendly! Pub is great and would recommend!”

“A bustling craft beer bar with a great selection of beers. The decor is eclectic and comfortable and the vibe is relaxing and friendly. There is a wide range of beers to suit everyone’s taste and prices are reasonable. Service is friendly and efficient.”

“Really like this bar, cool decor, the staff are all helpful and lovely. Cool and large variety of beers available! The menu is fairly small but full of lots of things I love, we had the sharing board and the haloumi fries were AMAZING!! Highly recommend this bar ☺️”

“If you're after a fun event space that oozes character, then try Alexander's Live. We're local to Chester so we were already familiar with the venue from our visits to their weekly Comedy Club (they're excellent too!) and decided that we wanted to host our wedding there. Our conversations were with Jamie, the venue's owner, who was faultless in his accommodation of our needs and wants for the big day. I was so pleased to hear that I could hang my homemade bunting up! We found him to be openminded and responsive— just what you want when you're organising any event! Jamie coordinated well with our other vendors too, ensuring they had all the information they needed to get set up for the day. The same can be said for all the staff at Alexander's Live. They gave impeccable service on the day - in fact, we can't praise them enough, they were such a dream: attentive, accommodating and pleasant. We are so incredibly pleased with how everything turned out and that we picked Alexander's as our venue. Photo credit: Luke Hassall Photography”

“I Visted the Levant kitchen and bar on Monday night while in the area because of previous reviews. These reviews do not lie! The beef burger was incredible with great service and polite servers! I would highly recommend the Levant kitchen and bar.”

“I’ve been to the Farmers Arms a few times, and every time I come I am always greeted with a warm welcome. Dave the owner really makes you feel good the minute you walk through the door. The food is really good and priced very well. I would highly recommend Dave and the team. A community feel pub with plenty of events each week to get involved with.”

“First time trying food from here since moving into the area a few weeks ago would highly recommend food was spot on , fast service and friendly staff, will definitely be ordering from here again”

“So, first we went to another local restaurant, which didn't have a Christmas dinner ready at lunch time the first day of offering. Anyway, we thought we'd try and get in Nelson's, even though we knew it would be quite busy. The car park was quite full, but even though we had come in two cars, we found parking and went in. Christmas lunches were in full effect and the dine area was full and we couldn't get a party of three until 90 mins later. However, we could sit and be served in the lounge straight away, so we did that. We had the turkey dinner pictured and it was delicious, lots of food and everything was cooked to perfection. The gravy was lovely too. We then had a chocolate and toffee cheesecake for dessert and that was also delicious and a decent portion with a little scoop of ice cream. The staff were great and our waiter had an attention to detail I wasn't expecting. Overall I would recommend highly. My preconceived thoughts were it's going to be pretentious, but it really wasn't.”

“We ordered in the takeaway on Thursday and was served by a sweet lady (who we assumed was Ruby). Service with a smile, and so so cute! The food was so tasty and such a great value for money. We aren't from the Chester area and were staying at a nearby hotel and we are glad we came across this place on google. The foo young was absolutely delicious. Thank you Ruby and all !! X”

“To be fair, it was a sunny day so we sat outside. However er, the service was great and the chef very accommodating. Thank you.”

“Fast, friendly service in a bright, airy and modern takeaway. Food tastes fantastic, and is reasonably priced. On one wall has a grid of dishes and sauces with what allegens they each have - useful if you are gluten intolerant to find food you can have :) Highly recommend.”
