As the name suggests, Moules a go-go is famous for its mussels, fresh from the shores of Anglesey, served in a variety of ways from simple Moules Marinieres to Korean. The vast selection of seafood dishes ranging from traditional fish and chips to scrumptious Sea Bass is impressive, though equally appealing are the locally sourced juicy steaks . After 17 successful years in business amongst tough competition, Moules a go-go is still going strong, boasting superb food and a great atmosphere in contemporary yet comfortable surroundings. The head chef and manager have been there since the restaurant’s inception; such longevity is a rare blessing in the tempestuous world of the steaming kitchen, but this dedication shows in the consistency and quality of the food and service. Moules a go-go is a real find in the heart of Chester's history.

My daughter and I visited for afternoon tea. Staff were very attentive to our needs and my daughter's nut allergy. Nothing too much trouble, smiling happy staff who made the experience even better. Food was amazing, very tasty and plenty of it!. The hall was decorated beautifully for Christmas. An enjoyable visit.

Our second time at Sprout Kitchen and the food and service was excellent. Our waiter was really friendly. Lots of choice on breakfast and brunch menu. Only reason I gave it a 4* for value was I felt the drinks were a bit overpriced- it was my daughters birthday so we had a mimosa each and it was £16.00 I would highly recommend it but book a table as it gets very busy

Centrally located in Chester with multi story parking locally. Very smartly presented resaurant. Attentive staff in a relaxed atmosphere. All the courses were very well presented. The Lunch menu was resonably priced . Not the cheapest restaurant to dine at but well worth a visit if you like fine dining.
