Fabulous day with great food and people - Had such a fabulous day on Saturday on the food and drink tour with Steph. Not only was the food fab, the tour was great and Steph was so friendly, knowledgeable and informative. We saw places and nooks and cranies we would never have discovered on our own. We have been to Chester once before, but have now fallen in love with it and will be back really soon! Thank you Steph for such a great day 😃

Brilliant food tour!!! - We had a wonderful time with Steph on our food tour yesterday. First of all the locations she took us to were absolutely amazing. I live in Chester and had overlooked all these hidden gems that I'll now be going back to again and again. We got to talk to the proprietor at most of the places and it was brilliant to hear about their passion for the food and to be supporting these lovely independents. Secondly Steph herself was so much fun to spend time with - she's knowledgeable about food and Chester and has a great sense of humour. Thank you so much Steph for an amazing day!

A great way to see Chester and discover new cuisine! - We are locals and won this tour, kindly donated by Steph, in a charity raffle. Despite having lived in Chester for 2 years, Steph took us to places we had never been. We had a great time with Steph wondering around the city, eating and drinking amazing food and drink while learning more about the history of the city. A fantastic way to spend an afternoon, would highly recommend this very unique experience!

Delightful way to spend the day in this historic city with eating, drinking and learning along the way! - This was a wonderful way to spend the day in Chester. We were able to learn about the history whilst taking in the sights and discover hidden gems of independent food and drink purveyors the city has to offer. Our guide, Steph, was a charming host who is passionate about Chester and introduced us to some lovely eateries. I would highly recommend this as a way to spend a day in Chester!

One of our best experiences in the UK! - Our tour with Steph was one of the highlights of our trip (the other being able to see Wrexham play two home matches)! Her love and knowledge of Chester was evident and infectious, and the time spent learning of the city's history and sampling the cuisine was worth every minute. My wife and I would do this again in a heartbeat... and we will the next time we visit the UK!

If you love food and history you need this tour - Over five hours, we explored the city's hidden gems, stopping at independent restaurants, bars, and market stalls that showcase the best of Chester’s culinary offerings. Each location had its own unique charm, from the character-filled Brewery Tap Chester to the delightful treats at Pastry Pédaleur, to the chatty bar man at Providence Gin who told us amazing facts while making us gin cocktails. The opportunity to meet the owners and hear the stories behind their businesses added a personal touch that made the experience even more special. Chester is filled with a beautiful mish mash of Roman, Medieval, Saxon, Norman, Tudor and Victorian architecture. The walking aspect of the tour covers about 5k but has lots of stops and we found it to be a really relaxed pace. We hopped on and off the walls a couple of times, walked past all my favourite parts of Chester plus lots of new parts too. The selection of food stops was really quite wonderful on our tour. Each one stood out in its own way but all had the same theme of being a truely hidden gems. The dishes we sat and enjoyed had all been specially made for the tour, from the mini pie at The Brewery Tap as you could no way eat their normal sized one, to the selection of tapas at The Greenhouse Chester giving you just a bite of their offerings. Steph has a natural warmth that immediately puts you at ease. Friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, she made the experience both fun and enriching. It was clear she genuinely loves giving these tours—her passion shone through in every story she shared. With a smile on her face and real fondness for the history she recounted, she brought each tale to life. Her enthusiasm extended beyond the history; she had a true connection with the local businesses she introduced us to. Chatting with the owners like old friends, she was genuinely excited about their latest dishes and updates. She even joined us for a few plates and drinks, making the experience feel more like a shared adventure than just a guided tour. Steph isn’t just leading the tour—she’s a part of it, and that makes all the difference.

Worth Every Penny! - We had an excellent tour on a Saturday with Chester On A Plate, guided by the wonderful Steph. From start to finish, Steph impressed us with her extensive knowledge about Chester's history, ensuring the tour was thoughtfully structured to weave interesting historical insights alongside delicious food and drink stops. The tour took us to several independent local businesses, each of which presented their dishes beautifully, complemented by carefully chosen drink pairings. What particularly stood out was how each restaurant took time to explain not only the dishes and their culinary backgrounds but also provided fascinating insights into their restaurants. These were unique venues, tucked away from the usual tourist routes, places we would likely never have discovered by ourselves. Steph herself is incredibly personable, easy-going, and welcoming to all questions, whether about Chester’s heritage or the food and drink. For anyone seeking a fun, indulgent culinary experience blended seamlessly with historical facts, this tour is a must. Absolutely worth every penny!
