I'd highly recommend Shrub - food was deliciously and fairly priced. I had dreams about those artichoke wings! Also the staff were really friendly and helpful. One of my favourite restaurants in Chester

We had an excellent lunchtime meal here today. All of the food was excellent, with good portion sizes and it was really good value (there is a 2 course offer in the afternoon). The staff were all really friendly and made sure we had everything we needed and the pub itself is really nice and has a good atmosphere. We will definitely be visiting again and would absolutely recommend it for good quality pub food, done really well, in a nice environment with great staff.

What a great place. The food was delicious, the staff were lovely and we could honestly have stayed there all afternoon. We recommend Chefs Table to anyone who enjoys great food at a reasonable price.

About the restaurant
The Nag's Head is a quintessential English pub in a village called Haughton Moss, near Tarporley in rural Cheshire. It has been re-mixed and re-imagined by the people behind the multi-award winning Altrincham Market; Mackie Mayor, Manchester and Picturedrome, Macclesfield.

The Nag's Head is a listed building that dates back to its origin as a Smithy in the 1740's, on the trade route connecting the ports of Liverpool and North Wales to the Potteries.

At The Nag's Head sister venues we have earned a reputation for high quality food, delivered in beautiful buildings, served informally. The point? - to make eating out with family, with friends, with kids with dogs accessible, rewarding and part of your 'everyday'.

Expect seasonal changes, kitchen co-labs with our sister venues, glamping, growing and outdoorsy stuff on our adjoining 4 acres in the not-too-distant future.

About the restaurant
K2H Creative Indian Kitchen
Back in 2016 our founder Nagendra had the vision to create an Indian dining experience like no other in the region.

Based on the home cooked dishes that he grew up enjoying in Northern India he wanted to introduce real Indian dishes. You may not recognise some of the names as we bring you true Indian cuisine to tantalise your tastebuds.

We aim to provide our customers with the very best of Indian food and service. The restaurant stays true to its Indian heritage with traditional cooking methods, top quality fresh ingredients and elegant service. Our Chefs prepare a special mix of dry whole spices for different dishes by grinding them in-house in your local kitchen. With many years of training and experience in five-star hotels in India and with International exposure, they are well equipped with the knowledge and art of balancing flavours and extracting natural colours from ingredients whilst cooking a distinct ‘gravy’ for each dish on the menu.

About the restaurant
AA 2 Rosette restaurant. The Forge Restaurant in Chester is one of Chester’s best restaurants with delicious food and unrivalled service. With a passion for wild, sustainable British ingredients, and a love of simple cooking over fire and charcoal. The Forge has its kitchen front and centre in the middle of this lovely, and elegant space. Incredible dry-aged beef and wild venison will be found in the maturation cabinets, awaiting their turn on the amazing forge grill, to be lovingly grilled and roasted over beech logs. Head chef Dan Regan, a passionate chef, heads up the young, vibrant team in the kitchen. Combining amazing, wild, sustainable ingredients from land and sea into sumptuous creations that form really memorable eating experiences. We focus on British ingredients, as local to Chester. Our venison, always a hugely popular part of our menus, is harvested from herds on estates that focus on improving biodiversity and deer health – a process we call Farming the Wild.

About the restaurant
A gem in the Cheshire countryside, this glittering new restaurant is the latest and greatest in the Piccolino Collection. The open-plan design brings theatre to the table as you sit back and watch the chefs create exceptional dishes found only at Piccolino.

Dine indoors in the elegant oak, marble brass and mirrored interiors or on the winterised Tuscan terrace. There's no finer place to enjoy a taste of Italian cuisine and Italian living.
Come for a coffee, for drinks, for an outstanding meal or to party in style. Piccolino Wilmslow serves moments of signature luxury every visit.
