Chester Race Season at Harkers

Chester race season is upon us, and we’re the place to begin - or end - your day at the races.

Ideally placed on the walk from the railway station into town, we’re perfectly set up for a leisurely brunch before the first race, or a celebratory dinner and a bottle of something sparkling afterwards.

Food is served from 10am on weekends, so whether you’re joining us for breakfast or a few pre-race drinks at the bar, we’ll have everything ready to set you up for the day ahead.

And once the final race is run, why not make an evening of it? Join us for dinner and a bottle of our finest champagne with your winnings, and a chance to relive the highlights of the day - especially if luck happened to be on your side.
