This is the tap for Chester's own Spitting Feathers brewery, and the beer leads everything. The chalkboards behind the bar list what is on: cask pulled by hand, keg lines, bottles and traditional ciders, with local guest ales rotating alongside the house brews. It is kept properly and there is a pour for every taste.
The tap house for Chester's own Spitting Feathers brewery. Cask ales, local guest beers and traditional ciders on the bar, seasonal plates from a short kitchen list, all inside a medieval great hall on Lower Bridge Street.
The room does the rest. A tall medieval hall with whitewashed plaster and dark oak beams, a huge carved sandstone fireplace behind the bar, quarry tiles underfoot and plain wooden tables to sit at. Candle sconces, arched windows, pump clips on the wall. Nobody needs to dress it up.
Beer comes first here. The bar pours cask from Chester's own Spitting Feathers brewery alongside local guest ales, keg lines, bottles and traditional ciders, all chalked up on the boards. It is well kept, fairly priced and there is genuinely something for every taste.
Menu and prices as in the restaurant.
The kitchen keeps it honest: bar snacks on trays for sharing over a pint, and a handful of plated dishes that change with the seasons. Sunday tables go quickly, so it is worth booking, though there is always room to eat in the bar.

The beer keeps people coming back. Visitors talk about a wide, well kept range of cask and keg with a pour to suit every taste, fairly priced.
The building gets mentioned again and again. People say the beams, the fireplace and the old hall feel like stepping back in time, full of character.
Diners rate the Sunday roast among the best they have found in Chester, and praise generous, well cooked plates and genuinely friendly staff.
