Why Chester Restaurant Week Matters
Chester has a rich history and a thriving food scene – and Chester Restaurant Week is a celebration of both. It’s designed to help people try somewhere new, explore the city through food, and support the independent venues that put so much care into what they do.
Gareth Boyd, Founder of Walking Food Tours UK and Curator of Chester Restaurant Week, says:
“Chester has an incredible food and drink scene, driven by independents who genuinely care about quality, provenance and customer experience. Chester Restaurant Week is about celebrating those businesses, encouraging people to try somewhere new and reminding everyone just how good our local hospitality offering really is.”
