Here we are, at last, it’s the final countdown and very soon we’ll all be eating and drinking outside once more with family and friends AND you don’t need to have a substantial meal either!
The good news just keeps on coming as you are spoiled for choice when it comes to bars, pubs, cafes and restaurants in Chester with outdoor spaces – there are considerably more than you would think. We’ve missed the social gatherings and the chance to catch up with our nearest and dearest, so get out your diary and plan, plan, plan. Whether you want to sip beer in a beer garden or enjoy your favourite wine with a delicious meal, we’ve got you covered (and so are a lot of outdoor spaces).
We will continue to update the website with any additions or changes and you can also find out about special offers Chester’s eateries are putting out there to make your money go that bit further.
