Gastropub · Chester
Handy for a family day at the zoo, this Chester gastropub is set up for children from the moment you walk in — a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access mean the buggy comes straight in without a fuss. Vegan and gluten-free choices make it easier when someone in the group eats differently. It's lively rather than hushed, so a noisy toddler won't feel out of place, and there's outdoor seating for warmer days. Worth booking ahead, and expect mid-range prices.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
A mid-priced Chester food court where everyone chooses their own meal — easy when no two people fancy the same thing.
Chester grill with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free access and outdoor seating — quiet, and worth booking ahead.
Roomy, spotless Upton café with free parking, very good coffee and genuinely warm owners — quietest on weekday mornings.
