Helsby Arms, Helsby -The waiting game

Call me old fashioned, call me mean, even call me miserable if you dare, but if I spend £60 for two in a restaurant I still expect the whole experience to be special. Read

Country Spice, Hope - Country and Eastern

Q: What do muggings, graffiti, air pollution and Indian restaurants have in common? A: They are all largely urban, if not urbane, phenomena. Read

Try Thai at The Bear, Tattenhall - Give Thai a try

Everyone is full of advice when you're pregnant and your head can spin with what is safe to eat, drink, breathe in or sit next to. So my newly acquired ‘with child’ status can make eating out that little more fraught – but galvanised by the belief that millions of Thai women can't be wrong, I headed to Tattenhall. Read

The Fat Cat, Chester - The Cat’s whiskers

Who remembers Britpop? For a couple of years in the mid-1990s, Britpop was everywhere. It seemed the whole world was obsessed with the question who would release a single that was less bad: A gang of cocky Southerners with art-school pretensions and irritating fake Cockney accents or a bunch of knuckle-dragging Northerners with superiority complexes and real (but no less irritating) Mancunian accents. Read

The Queen's Head, Malpas - A royal feast

Country pubs are in trouble. They are closing down at the rate of several a week, and that at a time when binge drinking is seen as a national problem. Read

Jabula, Ellesmere Port - Crocodile rocks

Red with meat, white with fish. But which wine is the perfect accompaniment for huge, ravening, ferocious, multi-fanged dinosaur? Read

The Joseph Benjamin, Chester - A Christmas cracker

Like Prancer and Dancer we had dodged the puddles and the crowds, heading northwards to a newly opened restaurant in the centre of Chester. Read

Bear and Billet, Chester - A bear, a beer and plenty of chips

If Charles Dickens ever visited Chester, I like to think he would have taken time out to observe the locals at the Bear and Billet. Read

Gate of India, Chester - No change - for the better

Chester's Asian restaurant scene has been revitalised in the last few years with a welcome injection of choice. Read

Black House Grill, Chester - Food a-loud

I really wanted to hate this place. Est Est Est used to be one of our favourites. Read

The Amantola Restaurant, Welsh Road, Sealand

Amantola, Sealand - Hot stuff classic style

It is a truth universally acknowledged that every time a curry house waiter serves up a plate of pappadoms, some buffoon has to put his bloody fist through it. Read

Brasserie 10-16, Chester - Premier league

Feminine logic is a wonderful thing. Sometimes you get it 'spot on', sometimes you don't. Read

Euro Asia, Chester - Perfect blend

I can relate to what, I assume, is the concept behind Euro Asia - giving non-curry converts a choice outside of the usual spectrum of baltis and bhunas. Read

The Davenport Arms, Calveley - Back on top form

EVERYONE likes a happy ending which was why I decided to try The Davenport Arms, the pub that wouldn't die. Read

Bollicini Restaurant & Bar, Chester - A fitting tribute

OK, I admit it - I'm a planner. My diary is full of dates, appointments etc, neatly written out months in advance, I can't help it - I get it from my Mum. Read

Combermere Arms, Burleydam - Eat like a Lord

The history of England is written in its pub names. Read

Set to impress

I HAVE to admit that my favourite thing about dining at Franc's is that I get to show off my French accent, honed to a fine 'Je ne sais quoi' during long lectures at university. Read

Hidden charms

There are an awful lot of words for 'hungry'. Having fasted since 9am in preparation for this meal, I was going through them all. Starving, famished, ravenous - you name it, I felt it. Read

Castle in the air

THE story goes that Chris and Kate Naylor got married at Peckforton Castle, fell in love with the venue and six months later, bought it. Read

Eastern promise

If I'm ever asked, 'What's your favourite food?' I say 'Japanese', which is strange, because as husband, P, reminds me, I've only ever been to an authentic Japanese restaurant once in my life, a long time ago. Read
