Really nice location and beautiful pub. The toilets are defo worth a visit. We had the vegan veg parcel in miso broth (see photo) for staters - stunning! It was very well presented and tasted delicious. It was also very refreshing to have a different option for a starter rather than the standard options. The main course was also very staty - veg paella and a lentil, cauliflower, and spinach curried pie. We were really impressed with having something different to chose from as vegans.The staff were really lovely and provided great service

I’ve eaten here many times over the last few years. Always good lively atmosphere in the main bar, quieter in the other dining rooms. Food is generally high quality, though today the crispy beef salad disappointed with a rather small serving size compared to the last time I ordered the same dish.

Been to a few establishments managed by Brunning & Price and this is one of the best. Is always busy though so make sure to book. Food and service were very good and atmosphere was buzzing but not too distracting. Might be different if full of drunk racegoers but that's only speculation not fact. Really enjoyed our meal!

Great location and friendly staff! It’s the perfect place for some afternoon lunch.
Word of warning if you drive in, don’t make the same mistake as me and turn into the abode parking, it’s the next left after the abode. It was no fun to drive out of 😂

First time in here. The serving staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was excellent. We had fish and chips. Very light and crispy batter, not greasy. Drinks a reasonable price.
It was a very noisy noisy atmosphere especially when the guests came in from the garden (which closed at 9pm).
All in all though, a lovely place!!

Great place to eat just opposite the race course, lots of outdoor seating ideal for sunny months.
Dogs are also welcome 🐶

Had lunch at The Architect which was a very nice and quite complete cheese board followed my ice cream and coffee. Sat outside as it was the first very hot days of the summer. Beautiful gardens and the staff were very correct.

This place was recommended so we visited for a late lunch. Beautiful setting beside the racecourse. Very relaxed atmosphere. Service was superb and the food was delicious. Cannot fault anything. Would encourage anyone who is visiting Chester to find this pub/restaurant. It is a little outside the main part of town but worth the walk.

As always with Bruning & Price a well run establishment, well trained staff and high standards throughout.
Food is excellent with sufficient choice even for picky eaters.
Parking an issue on site but plenty of options within a 5 minute walk.
We ate inside, but lots of open air tables and a great size canopy with heaters if the weather allows.
The views over the Roo Dee (Chester Racecourse) are unmatched by any other pub.

Lovely place to go for food! We had the sunday lunch when we visited, and it did not disappoint! The staff are great, very accommodating and the location is even better, right at the side of the race course. On a beautiful sunny day you can not beat the outside dining area.

A fantastic experience in the centre of Chester which exceeded all expectations! We have been past this pub numerous times, it's always been busy and we can now see why. The service from the moment we arrived was excellent, not too intrusive but very attentive and everything was explained including a special allergens menu which made us feel both welcome and safe.
Excellent selection of local drinks and a varied menu with lots of choice. The quality of food, knowledge and friendliness of the staff plus the impressive building and decor made our experience absolutely perfect. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will return as soon as we can, special mention to the lovely young Italian lady who served us - thank you 😁

26th October was in a party of 10 we made a reservation a few weeks previously and mentioned it was a pre wedding meal the night before. The staff made a board of chocolate with the words Congratulations decorated with strawberries a really nice touch.on asking for the bill 3 of the staff came to us and wished us Good luck for wedding next day. They presented the couple getting married either a gift box containing 2 glasses and a cava bottle for them . The service and food was excellent and definitely reccomend The Architect for superb service and food. Thank you so much we all really appreciated our night with you.
