Bear & Billet

Lovely meal. Homecooked food. Good service. Excellent.

OK. Back in the late 1970's this was one of my top ten pubs of all time. I was horrified when it closed for a few years but reopened maybe 10 or so years later. First pub I ever had IOM brewery Okell's .. and they still sell it. Lovely bar over three floors ... tv's on each. Ic n Flic had food incl very filling corn beef hash for £14. Still well worth finding.

Beautiful old building, close to the river, lovely staff - despite a HUGE group going in just before us at 12 on the dot! - and ermagerd the food! the pie of the day is so good the photo has convinced my mum to go there with me and the bestie said it was divine! if you are in chester searching for the best of british pub food, look no further!
