A Foodie’s Guide to Cheshire
Find some of the best places to eat out in Cheshire here!
Cheshire is well established as a foodie favourite and it's easy to see why. If you live in Cheshire or are just visiting, you'll find something to suit you here; whether you are looking for fine dining in an award winning restaurant, lunch in a beautiful country pub, delicious afternoon tea or the best street food at a bustling market. Cheshire has it all.
With an abundance of award winning restaurants, country pubs and quaint cafes all serving only the best, fresh local produce, you are sure to find plenty of places for eating out in Chester and Cheshire, to suit both your palate and your pocket.
For visitors to Cheshire, this pastoral beauty is a delight for the eyes as much as for the taste buds. Choose to visit some of our county's many farm shops, markets and festivals, but not forgetting to take refreshment at one of our many country pubs, perhaps lunch in one of our historic stately homes or even visit a local brewery!
Whether it’s a home-baked pie in a cosy country pub or a Michelin-starred dish at an award-winning restaurant, the range of quality venues serving fresh local produce is many and varied in Chester.
Take a break from shopping or visiting the many attractions and stop by one of the many tea rooms and cafes for freshly brewed coffee and a slice of homemade cake or sample some real ale in one of the many pubs.
Enjoy afternoon tea at The Chester Grosvenor and your fruit scones will doubtless be treated to Cheshire’s best clotted cream and locally-made strawberry jam.
