Three Places to Eat and Drink Alfresco in Chester

With bright early mornings and longer evenings, summer offers more time outdoors to enjoy the fresh air. Many Chester restaurants understand this and feature specially prepared areas where city guests and residents can eat and drink outside. Here, we list some varied options well worth considering.

The Chester Fields Country Pub and Restaurant

Four miles beyond Chester’s Roman walls in Bridge Trafford, this pastoral pub offers an abundance of space for outdoor drinking and dining. Overlooking picture perfect views of rural Chester, guests of the Chester Fields can enjoy freshly brewed local beer, red and white wines, and wood-fired pizzas cooked to order on a real fire within the kitchen.

Zuger’s of Chester

Brilliant for a baked goods breakfast when you have a sweet tooth, Zuger’s brings Swiss-style treats to Chester. Easy to find on St John Street, the tearoom and restaurant serves cakes, croissants, brownies and more alongside barista-style coffee and pots of tea. Its well-kept secret is its terraced garden, perfect for enjoying brunch or breakfast under the sun.

Vin Santo

Situated in the city centre, Vin Santo is a wine bar and shop. Its owners have a passion for wine and have provided a dedicated wine terrace for guests to share a bottle or two from its impressive selection, while watching the hubbub of Chester go by.

Whether you’d like breakfast, brunch, dinner, or simply to share a cup of coffee or a bottle of wine over the summer, you’ll find plenty of alfresco options in Chester.
