The Arkle Restaurant at the Grosvenor Chester

A clear winner...

SOME things never change, even after 21 years of marriage. I like soul music, he likes R 'n' B; I like sitting in the sun, he likes sightseeing; I like ballet, he likes football. Given so many differences, is it any wonder I had difficulty choosing a restaurant for our wedding anniversary? Read

The Pheasant Inn is set in a picturesque location at Burwardsley

A haven of fine fare

ABANDONING the wedding diet for one more week and feeling I'd earned a revision break by staring at the same page for 12 hours we headed into uncharted territory, well Higher Burwardsley, and The Pheasant Inn. Read

Memories of Singapore with a hint of the Caribbean at Panama Hatty's in Spurstow

Feeling the heat...

IN the words of Huey Lewis, isn't it sometimes 'hip to be square'? But with a daughter fast approaching her thirteenth birthday, perhaps it's time to alter my own thinking on what's hip and what isn't? Read

The Goshawk at Mouldsworth features a quintessentially English phenomenon - a bowling green

A cue for rural charm

The Goshawk in Mouldsworth has one of the prettiest settings of any pub I know. Even the most jaded of lounge lizards would be impressed by the sweeping vista at the rear of the car park, the horses grazing in the adjacent field and that quintessentially English phenomenon - a bowling green. Read

A room with a view

IT WAS with slight apprehension that I booked a Saturday night table for two at The Living Room in the centre of Chester. Read

Saucy thoughts

I WAS a teenager when I realised that the French take their food very seriously. Read

The Village Bistro in Charles Street, Hoole

Missing you already

I'M always impressed by the power of positive thinking. Take the Village Bistro in Hoole, for example. Read

Belgian surprise

THE phrase 'let's go for a Belgian' is not exactly a well used one in Britain. Read

A beautifully presented meal at the Llyndir Hall Hotel

Return to splendour

IN JUNE, 1994 I chose the Llyndir Hall Hotel as the venue for P and I to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I remember the warm welcome at reception, after travelling from our then home in London; the light and airy bedroom we stayed in for two nights; and the rather swish food served and gratefully received in the restaurant that evening. Read

Castra Brasserie at the Dene Hotel in Hoole

Good for starters...

MY husband has a theory as to why I am such a loyal companion to my girlfriends. Read

A very fishy tale

THE world of pubs seems to divide neatly into two distinct categories: The 'Cheers' type, 'where everyone knows your name;' and the anonymous type, which is no less welcoming, but where everyone's a stranger. Read

La Brasserie at the Chester Grosvenor hotel in the heart of the city centre

A touch of class...

A MINOR quarrel about national anthems nearly spilled from the popular student haunt the Boot Inn into the glitz of La Brasserie. Read

The Cheshire Cat in Whitchurch Road, Chester

Less than purr-fect...

OVERLOOKING the serene beauty of the canal, with a long drive winding its way up to the stunning Georgian building bedecked in flowers' as settings go, the Cheshire Cat is pretty close to perfect. Read

Food as theatre

I'M sure most people would prefer to think of themselves as having an independent frame of mind, especially when it comes to choosing where to eat. Call me contrary, but I don't like it when I'm told what to think. Read

The Shanghai Restaurant in Hoole Road, Chester

Oriental delights

IT'S ALL too easy to be impressed by any Chinese food that doesn't come in an aluminium trays with half rice, half chips and is ordered by name rather than number. Read

Magfnifico in any language

WE MIGHT almost have been dropped into a series of game shows. Ciro's, we were told, was the place to go in Chester. Read

Dazzling rustic charm

IN these days of multi-site food franchises it's still possible to find little hidden restaurant gems and the Pistyll Farmhouse Restaurant is a small but gleaming diamond in the North Wales culinary crown. Read

Food for thought...

LOOKING to try out one of Chester's home-grown restaurants for a belated Valentine's meal, boyfriend Jon and I decided to go to Club Globe - one of those places we've often walked past but never got round to visiting. Read

A detour off the map

NOW I admit geography has never been my best subject - flags of the world questions in pub quizzes have always defeated me. But even I know that our currently chilly county of Cheshire isn't on the Mediterranean. Nor for that matter is Leicestershire. Read

Was it a winner?

MICHAEL Winner described the restaurant at The Chester Crabwall Manor Hotel as 'dreadful', the service as 'sloppy' and a particular dessert as tasting 'as if it had come from a newsagent's fridge'. Read
