The pasty place is right in the heart of chester and is ideal for a quick bite for lunch. I visit…read moreregularly during my lunch break from work. They have a good range of pasties including several vegetarian options (including spicy vegetable, mushroom and cheese and brocolli). The prices are reasonable; cheaper than getting a packaged sandwich but more expensive than a rubbish pasty from a certain bakery chain which will remain nameless. The Pasty Place also offers a range of sweet pasties as well as cookies, crisps and drinks which are priced at the usual small shop rates. There is rarely a queue, but this is because the service is so quick, rather than a lack of customers

I simply love this shop - It stocks the most unique cards and wrapping paper you will have seen…read more You can also buy little gifts for special occasions to make them memorable. It is located on the rows in Chester city centre.

What a fantastic little place!…read more It's a vinyl (as in LPs) themed eaterie that sells wonderful waffle cones. You can build your own from a huge list of ingredients and a large portion of the menu is Vegan. They even have Vegan mint choc chip ice cream! The staff were exceptionally friendly and my kids thought it was a really cool place to come and spend some time. Definitely recommended!

Great coffee, super ice-cream, and they do fry-ups too. What's not to like? The Cherry milkshakes…read moreare amazing. Don't be put off by the low prices. The range of food on offer is a bit limited it's true, but if you want overpriced panini go to a Starbucks. We had lunch for 12 quid today.

I love coming here because of the Alice and Wonderland theme…read more They do have sandwiches and salads, but you need to try the afternoon teas. I get the Alice's afternoon tea: It has unlimited tea, milk in a cow pourer, sandwiches, salad, scones with clotted cream and jam, a macaron, cream puff,and you get to pick out a cupcake from a list. Everything is so good!

I came here whilst waiting for a late bridal client, and I was pretty glad I did!…read more It was a bit of a grim day outside, and I cosied up on a table on my own, browsed the menu and ordered with the super friendly waitress and settled in with my sketchbook. I can't remember what tea I had, but it was lovely, and with a lemon meringue cupcake, which was pretty tasty, and with a gooey curd centre which made it super moist. I was so happy with the cakes, I took a few to my parents too, and it's rare that I take baked goods anywhere that weren't made by my own fair hand. It was an odd playlist in the background, but they cater so well for dietary requirements too.

Great food and great service…read more Been a few times and have enjoyed every meal and the staff have also been fantastic. Try the beef dropping sauce as it is amazing.

We stopped in for a late dinner after a very long two travel days coming to Chester from New…read moreOrleans, Louisiana. I'm very well used to being disappointed by lack of flavor in "Louisiana" or "American Southern" food outside of the actual American South. My entire family and I were extremely pleasantly surprised at just how good and genuinely authentic this food was. I got the "louisiana hot" chicken burger, which actually was spicy, and well seasoned, and delicious. The regular fried chicken basket was some of the best seasoned chicken my brother has had in a while. Veggie burger, cobb salad, and brisket sandwhich all got positive reviews. The only thing my brother noted is the "georgia sweet tea" is nowhere near as sweet as we make it back home! But that's totally negligible, because the delicious meal and welcoming environment was wonderful. Highly recommend.

The food was amazing! As an American these were spot on!!! The brisket was melt in your mouth…read moretenderness!!! The burgers were lovely and the chips were hot and crispy with fluffy interior! The service was wonderful and lovely our server was on top of things and took great care of us. I definitely would go again! Great for a date or a nice family dinner. Or Saturday night!

About last night…read more.. We REALLY enjoyed this meal. We started with mushroom arancini, focaccia, oxtail stew, and seriously, all three were amazing!! I've never had ox anything, and I'm a believer now... I had beef burg for my main, hubby had the venison and dad had the halibut and all three were simply fantastic! All were perfectly tender, lean, and full of flavor with sides that complimented them perfectly. And the desserts.. chocolate lava cake with salted caramel ice cream and dad had the sticky ginger cake and dad and hubby truly enjoyed these final courses. The chocolate cake surprised us when Mark cut into it and a lovely ganache poured out.. dad said the sticky ginger cake was light, not too sweet, but nice flavor. We were beyond stuffed, but even dad said "you found a gem with this place!" We would definitely return here regularly if we lived in England!! Service was really good! Our servers were friendly and attentive. They always asked how everything was with each course and everything was correct. Even though it was packed, and there were two of them, they did a great job staying on top of everything! The ambiance... it's too packed for such an amazing experience. They will be moving and good thing because they are going to need the extra room!! It was a bit hard to hear each other when it was a full house, but when half the room cleared, it was really pleasant. Overall, best food and service experience we've had in the two weeks we've been in England, hands down. And if we lived here, this is where we would take friends and family to "wow" them!

My wife had the watermelon tea and I had a glass of Viognier, and we had a great conversation with Millie. At our table, we enjoyed a bottle of the 2021 Campolieti Valpolicella with our Spring Pea Arancini, then Duck breast Rilette, followed by our mains of Lamb Rump and Fillet of Beef. Every sauce, flavor, presentation, service was executed at the highest level. The balance of tastes were perfect. The kitchen produces spectacular dishes We wll be back very soon!

Gluten Free- Yes Casein Free- yes, item specific ( i.e…read more eggs) Katies Tea Rooms is a quaint tea room in Chester that is a short walk from the Chester Cross. The Tea room has multiple levels; however, the lower level seemed to be the main area of service at the time that I was there. The upper levels, are up flights of stairs and are a bit uneven, but you have to keep in mind that it is an older building, so those with mobility issues might find the walk up a bit difficult. They offer different menus that have a selection of food, including some vegetarian options as well. Also some dishes can be modified to be gluten free. The tea selection is good, plus budget friendly. They do offer some delicious gluten free pastries that are quite addicting and add to your bill quickly, but they are so worth it. **Tips: + The restroom is a bit of a hike for those with mobility issues as it up the stairs and through the upper dining level + Watch your step upon entry

The historic building setting is quite amazing, a real maze of rooms, especially should you visit the restrooms, may even be worth taking bread crumbs lol. A large selection on the menu, it was a late lunch so we had a meal, the Gammon and chips was lovely the lasagne looked wonderful but the steak sandwich was a tad disappointing compared to the rest of our orders. The Jacket potatoes were large and well stuffed. The food was fresh nothing outstanding but enjoyable and service was very swift! The desserts also had a fair selection, i had a fudge brownie tart that was probably the best thing i had on this visit, a lot of choc and cream YUMMY. My hot chocolate was nothing to write about really but the smoothies looked good and seem to go down a treat. The setting is great, the staff were pleasant, food average, servings generous, speed of service out standing. Ideal for a quick bite to eat whilst shopping. Visited November 2014

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. If you like beef, pork, ham, or chicken/turkey, this is the place. Help yourself to veg, gravy, etc. Make sure you get hot roasties. Cheaper than cooking at home. Four of us have a night out. And we ain't beginners. Good stuff.
