There are lots of great pubs in Chester, one of my favourite pubs is Ye Olde Kings Head,its one of the oldest pubs in Chester dating from 1622 ,its a pub I always look forward to visiting on any trip to Chester I take. ||A great looking pub ,interior is superb, dark wood features abound throughout this pub, a solid wood serving bar dominates the main room, pubby decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub, its just a really good pub to unwind in. ||We were here on a bitterly cold February night, pub was warm and inviting, very busy,we ordered pale ales from Wainwright's Brewery, these were served in pristine condition, we chilled out, warmed up and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular pub while we sipped our pale ale's. ||My pale ale was really good, a crisp, golden pale ale, hints of toffee, a delicious aroma and aftertaste with a smooth finish, a classic British pale ale served in a classic British pub,it was just so good being in such a lovely pub enjoying a quality brew and sat with my twin brother, best beer companion in the world. ||We really enjoyed our pale ales in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to Ye Olde Kings Head we had a great time. ||Ye Olde Kings Head is easy to locate along Lower Bridge Street. ||Opening hours are;||Monday to Thursday, midday till 11pm. ||Friday, midday till midnight. ||Saturday, midday till 1am. ||Sunday, midday till 11pm. ||Well worth checking out if you're in the area or planning a...

Me and my twin brother have been visiting Chester for well over forty years and every time we visit this city we alway's have a few beers in this historic pub and hotel.|Ye Olde Kings Head on Lower Bridge street offer's a superb food and drinks range and accommodation and it's located in a really lively area of Chester.|Established in 1622 and housed in a superb grade-II listed building dating from 1208.It's interior design is classic old world with lot's of interesting fixtures and features and lots of good seating options.|This pub and hotel has everything that you would expect from a pub this age as it may be haunted and bearing in mind how old it is there's a chance it is.In my opinion its the best pub in Chester and that's a statement as there's some superb pubs in Chester.|We visited here on our two day trip and on our visit it was really busy but it didn't take us that long to get served.As we'd just had a meal we had a few pints of cask ales.The ales we had were Wainwright brewery ales which were superb and were price wise on a par with other pubs in Chester.|Without doubt one of the most historic and atmospheric pub's in Chester that offer's a superb food and drinks menu and its a pub well worth visiting if your in this superb part of Chester.(This is my 2nd review of Ye Olde Kings Head).|Opening Hours. |Monday-Thursday-12.00-23.00.|Friday-12.00-00.00.|Sunday-12.00-01.00.|Sunday-12.00-23.00.|Hours May Differ...

Ye Olde Kings Head is a true gem for anyone visiting Chester: part historic landmark, part cozy pub, and all-round great experience. Steeped in incredible history, this 17th-century inn played a role in the English Civil War and oozes character from every crooked beam and candlelit corner.||||The atmosphere is spot-on: low ceilings, timber-framed walls, and the kind of authentic charm that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. History buffs will love the stories behind the building, especially the tales of Royalist soldiers and ghostly goings-on.||||But it’s not just about the past because the food and drink here are well worth writing home about. The beer selection is excellent, with some top-quality ales on tap, and the food is proper pub grub done right: hearty, flavorful, and satisfying.||||Yes, it’s on the pricier side compared to your average pub, but honestly, you get what you pay for. Great service, quality food, and a unique atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else. If you’re in Chester,...

Stayed for a birthday treat for my OH. Couldn't have been more pleased and impressed with the hospitality, helpfulness & friendliness of all the staff from the first moment we stepped into the pub. Steve met us and greeted us warmly and was most helpful. I'd previously asked if they could decorate or room with birthday banners for me and they did a great job and provided a few bottles of ale as requested. OH was most pleased. We did have a slight issue with the plumbing but it was sorted the next day and we were offered a complementary meal and drinks by way of an apology and they made provision for our needs. Harry, the owner was most apologetic but the problem was sorted as soon as was possible. Good food, live music and a great place. It has it's little foibles but it's an old OLD building so take it for what it is and enjoy the history of it. Very central for all attractions. We would like to thank Harry and his entire team for making our stay so memorable. We will definately stay again.

We had our wedding reception at the Kings Head upstairs private function room and it was absolutely wonderful. The location was perfect as we had our ceremony at Chester Town Hall, and then the wedding party very much enjoyed walking through town over to the Kings Head. Everyone just had such a good time and it was exactly what we wanted - boozy and lots of dancing! Demi was so helpful with arranging everything and organizing viewings. We had a buffet which was delicious and in particular the vegetarian lasagne was the talk of the guests (despite not being vegetarians!). We had hired a guitarist/DJ which worked really well in the size of the room. The bar staff were lovely, really helpful, and even took a video of the end of the night which they sent us the next day which was really sweet. Thank you so much for making our wedding day exactly as we wanted it.

Absolutely outstanding food and service. We booked our annual girls' family meal at a place we always go to but, unfortunately, this year they decided to only serve burger and chips. This was no good for our Christmas get together. We instead booked a meal for 8 people at the Kings Head. We let them know in advance that one of our party was Celiac and would require a gluten-free option. All meals were booked in advance with the deposit paid. On the day, despite being busy, the service was so good it felt like we were the only ones there. Staff with quick with drinks and with food and the portions were absolutely unbelievable. I couldn't recommend it highly enough and we will be back. (In fact I would love to stay overnight in a haunted room!)
