Look inside Chester's new dining destination as The Ivy officially opens its doors

The Ivy Collection has today officially opened the doors to its new Chester restaurant, offering residents a taste of its signature dining experience which has defined The Ivy for over 100 years.

Situated on Newgate Street, The Ivy Chester Brasserie features beautifully designed interiors and an expansive outdoor terrace for relaxed, alfresco dining throughout the seasons – firmly establishing it as a go-to destination for the city.

Thoughtful design touches throughout the restaurant pay tribute to Chester’s unique heritage and character, including through a curated selection of local artwork. The result is a space that reflects both the brand’s heritage and its commitment to becoming an established part of the local community.

Perfect for all-day dining, guests can choose from a range of experiences, including breakfast and brunch, afternoon tea and cream tea, à la carte dining, and a traditional Sunday roast.

Seasonal set menus will also be available, designed to bring accessible, everyday luxury to the city’s dining scene. Menus include the Heritage Menu which offers two courses for £20.95, as well as its Taste of Spring menu, offering three courses for £32.95.

The official opening follows an exclusive launch event last week, attended by the Lord Mayor of Chester, Councillor Sherin Akhtar, and local celebrities including former footballer Ian Rush MBE, Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle MBE, Real Housewives of Cheshire stars Lystra Adams, Royston Blythe and Nick Malenko, and Love Island’s Lucy Quinn.

Speaking about the opening, Kate Cooper, Restaurant Operating Officer for the North, said:

“Opening The Ivy in Chester is a hugely exciting milestone for us, and we’re delighted to officially welcome guests through our doors. We’ve created a space that feels elegant yet relaxed – somewhere people can enjoy great food, great company and a sense of occasion at any time of day. It’s been wonderful to see such a positive response already, and we’re looking forward to becoming part of Chester’s dining landscape for years to come.”

The Ivy Chester Brasserie will officially open on 32 Newgate Street in Chester, on Tuesday 28th April. To make a booking, click here or call 01244 337911.
