The Olde Kings Head is once again a top Chester destination. Since recently taking over Claire, Martin & Ken (Clair's father) are generating improvements to the beautiful 400 year old year old building. The bar has already received a bright, airy face lift with re-instated log fires and a couch area about to be fitted. New signage is going up outside any day now and improvements to the 8 en-suite rooms are planned for the spring. With Martins culinary expertise, Ye Olde Kings Head was always going to be a food led destination. Marin's experience has not only come from top Irish restaurants. His extensive travel enabled him to work with some of the best chefs in Australia and South East Asia.

Pub Review from Chester@Large ChesterTourist.com Rating Oddfellows Arms Oddfellows Arms 64 Frodsham Street Chester CH1 3JL Tel 01244 327 624 Traditional pub in the heart of the city on Frodsham Street. ChesterTourist.com Rating Oddfellows Oddfellows Opened Friday 18th April 2008 20 Lower Bridge Street Chester CH1 1RS Tel 01244 689 809 Web www.oddfellows.biz Email hello@oddfellows.biz New Pub / Restaurant opening soon... The setting is Oddfellows Hall on Chester’s Lower Bridge Street, a spectacular 17th Century Georgian manor house which we’ve renovated to give it back its character and grandeur; and some. Inside, there are various bars, restaurants, a members’ lounge and 4 very individual hotel rooms. Outside, the splendiferousness continues with a members’ terrace and a walled garden that is rather phenomenal, even if we do say so ourselves. Everything is designed to make the usual unusual; the ordinary extraordinary. Decor veers from gracious sophistication to dramatic intensity. Nothing matches, but everything makes complete sense. The Tea Rooms Can a cup of tea be glamorous? We think so. When it’s served in exquisite cups, in gracious surroundings where everything glides and floats with luscious loveliness. Afternoon tea is nibbly, naughtily served, and it can be a grown up occasion or a family affair. When the plates are cleared, charm makes way for charisma as pre-dinner drinks are sipped. Private Dine Room In a dark, velvety burrow we shroud you from the world round a table set for 12. Here, drama and fastidiousness collide. The scene is opulent, extravagant, yet oddly intriguing. Your own Kingdom where you choose the lighting, the music, the menu, the company. Feast in privacy at breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner, or bring the board and do business in pleasure. Champagne Bar Outrageously chic. The love child of Parisian je ne sais quoi and Georgian elegance. This tremendous bar sweeps you in and gets into your soul, but watch it, because it won’t want to let you leave. If it has its way, you’ll be in its fine midst from morning until 3am, while it romances you with devilish cocktails, expertly concocted to reflect your mood, a myriad of drinks served cool, long, frothed or any other way you like them, scrumptious dishes and supercool DJs. It won’t insist that you drink Champagne, but quite frankly, why wouldn’t you? The Brasserie Sumptuous and serene, the Brasserie is classically modern. Or contemporarily traditional, whichever you prefer. Either way it’s a little bit unconventional and a lot bit gorgeous. The meals are divine anyway, but the surroundings simply make life taste better. Serving lunch, informal afternoon tea and dinner every day, the Brasserie becomes a VIP room for the bar at weekends, after dinner. The Members Lounge Expect the unexpected and disappointment will never be your friend. By day, a business hub, by night, a chilled out retreat, by weekend, an indulgent playground for growed-ups. The Members’ Lounge has a strong and confident vibe, softened by luxury, brought down to earth with good honest bar food, sharpened by awesome contemporary details; but we don’t want to give too much away… The Walled Garden Come on an oddly magical journey through our fairytale dreamworld. Skim through the skies in daylight, twilight or no light, past the bamboos, over Bedouin tents and into the secret garden. A world away from the humdrum, your spirit can soar. The Dining Rooms So impressive, so glam, so opulent. But hang on a sec, through the grandeur glimmers a spark of humour, a sprinkling of wit and a service ethic that feels like a great big hug. We tried to take formal dining seriously, but it appears we’re just not stuffy enough. That said, the cuisine makes you want to do that thing where you kiss your fingers and go ‘mwah’ and the décor looks good enough to eat. But don’t.
