The Shropshire Arms

We went for Sunday lunch. We had booked in advance but you might have got a table if you just turned up. There looked to be a few free. The sharing platter for a roast lunch was absolutely excellent. You can choose a selection of one or more form a list of 6 meats including lamb, pork, beef, chicken, ham and nut roast. We went for lamb, pork and ham. We were a group of four adults. We got a good portion of each meat along with plenty of roast potatoes, a pig in blanket each, Yorkshire pudding each and a bowl of four mixed veg. All great quality. The service was quick and very friendly. We had deserts as well. One got a cream tea and the scone was fresh and warm. My lemon tart with a coffee was good and both the tart and coffee were a good size. With main courses, including the roast above, averaging about £14 a head this is good value. The decor and presentation of the premises is also very nice. We are on holiday but I wish this pub was near my home. I would be here all the time. Excellent and highly recommended.

Dog friendly pub in Chester city centre. Has three very good handpulled cask beers on: Doombar, Wainwright's and Eagle Brewery's Bombadier. Very clean pub, quite spacious. Only one communal loo which was a bit smelly. Has lots of outdoor seating to the front on the pavement with well established, colourful hanging baskets. Sky sports and outdoor heaters if they're your thing.
