Description: - Great-value food & drinks with some brilliant offers for every day of the week - Sky Sports, BT Sports, with all key live fixtures. Rumor has it Chester once had one pub for every day of the year, but we like to think we're the one that people prefer. Ours is the most popular pub name in the UK and we find we're pretty popular ourselves. Our characterful city-centre pub was built in around 1600 and its black and white Tudor-style façade has been welcoming visitors ever since. They say we have a haunted cellar, something to think about when we go down to change the barrels on our wide range of real ales. We'll certainly keep you in good spirits, so come in and enjoy well-pulled pints, pub-food with a modern flavor and a good helping of friendly banter.
