Welcome

This is a proper old city of London boozer, only in Chester, it's a great meeting place over a pub lunch, and at different times you'll find half the commercial and professional heart of the city in here.

It's a very social place with a lovely atmosphere where you're pretty much bound to meet someone interesting.

We are delighted to have been listed as one of the 'Top 10 Whisky Pubs' in the 2018 Good Pub Guide Awards.

Dog walk

On Sunday the 29th we will be heading out along the canal, around the walls and back up along the river with our 4 legged friends, all in aid of North Clwyd Animal Rescue (NCAR). We will be meeting at the pub for a brew and a bacon sarnie around 9:30am before heading off. The walk will only take a couple of hours and you are more than welcome to join us for a pint and a bite to eat after. Give us a ring or pop into the pub to get your name on the dog walking list.
