This is a nice pub to pop into on a day out in Chester. There is lots of outdoor seating (with…read moreheaters) and a children's play area. Inside is also quite nice with a sports 'area' with LCD TV and 2 other main areas. The food is basic but nice, ok for a quick bite or a cheap meal out. Drinks are reasonably priced too. Seems clean enough. Lots of free parking outside so it's handy to nip in for lunch on the way past. They do a weekly curry night here, where you can order a curry and a pint (or wine) for around £6 which is quite popular.

Will not be going again. Oh, by the way, one of our party was is wheelchair bound.....such a wonderful person this manager was huh!!!!!

Brilliant. Like eating at The Grosvenor Hotel…read more Only there is something on your plate. Not quite as posh, but you know what I mean.

And we ain't beginners. Good stuff.

The bartenders were very thoughtful in recommending a special boilermaker and the steak and ale pie.

There are loads of other restaurants and shops but this is a clear winner and easy to miss if you don't look carefully! Don't forget to stop in, hidden gem by the river.

The food arrived fairly promptly and all our dishes were consumed with abandon until we were all stuffed and couldn't finish. Mum frequently can't finish her meals, but bruv and I rarely struggle from that affliction, so you know the portions were generous, as well as being tasty. As a bonus, you can start to walk it all off again by doing a lap of the walls afterward.

At some point or another it has been a Royalist meeting place, a Victorian brothel and a 1920's gambling club. Not bad for such a small tavern. With its complete lack of music, quiz machines, fruit machines or drinks you've ever heard of, the pub really is a step back in time. You expect to see buccaneers clustered round the tables muttering darkly or a Navy official to be dropping the King's shilling into flagons.
