...Me and Mrs Jan are going to Chester for a couple of days in early February.Neither of us has ever been there before.With such a limited amount of time we want to do and see as much as possible.Any recommendations???? including where best to eat.

What kind of things do you enjoy seeing and doing? There's a roman ampitheatre (sp), you could take a walk around the city along the walls, a cathedral, there's plenty of shops of course!
My fave restaurant in Chester is a lovely little Italian called Sergios. If you want to specify cuisine, I might be able to recommend others.

I hope you haven't posted on FB, that you are away for a couple of days....

Cor damn it, there's a nice restaurant in an old church (on two floors) near the Courts and can I remember the name of it.

The Pheasant at Tattenhall - its out of the village and up the hill and looks west to Wales and over the Duke of Westminster's estate at Eaton Hall.

I used to stay at the Crabwall Manor near Mollington Banastre (NNW side of Chester and about 3 miles out).

I'd not heard of Taconita sorry! I agree with DT, The Pheasant is lovely. Beautiful location and great food.

[janzman]

No,on this occasion we're going by train so were not mobile.Were not on FB.
Chico we thought of the boat/bus but the weather in Feb could scupper that Jury's out on that one.Chez jules reads very possible

[jb190281]

Have a look at Sergios' menu if you like Italian food.

Chez jules - haven't been myself, but I've heard mixed reviews.

There are some other great restaurants, Piccolinos, Upstairs at the Grill, Duttons, 1539 (overlooking racecourse) there's a Marco Pierre White restaurant at the doubletree hotel,
