Fantastic day out and great value for money. - I bought my husband a food and drink tour as an Xmas present for my husband, and I'm glad he decided to take me with him! We both absolutely loved it, and there was a great mix of different foods and drink that we got to have during the tour. All of the venues that we visited were welcoming and we were served with a smile. The balance of walking / history was spot on, and Steph's knowledge and sense of humour made for a very enjoyable few hours. The other people in the group were also very friendly, and it was nice to chat with them. We thought that it was great value for money, and would highly recommend to anyone.

Amazing food tour! - What an experience! I went on several food tours around Europe, but this was one of the best. Not only was the food super delicious, but the tour guide, Steph, provided interesting information about the city of Chester, and its history. I recommend this food tour, as it is really value for money and will rebook this tour when I revisit Chester.

Brilliant Chester Food Tour! - Brilliant food tour of Chester. We live near Chester but we're taken to places we'd never visited before, so it was great to discover some new venues. The food was excellent and Steph was an engaging, interesting and friendly host. We will definitely ne recommending the tour to friends and family.

Fantastic City Tour - This tour was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, Steph, was amazing. She showed us some hidden gems that we wouldn’t have found on our own. The food and drinks were delicious, and Steph’s knowledge of the places and people made the whole experience even better. She also told us some interesting history about Chester as we walked around. If you have a few hours free, I highly recommend this tour.

Brilliant Tour - This was a lovely tour, brilliantly done by our guide Steph. She introduced us to a number of independent retailers that we wouldn’t have found in a month of Sunday’s. The food and drinks were all extremely good and Steph’s knowledge of the venues and retailers added to the overall experience. Added to this was the history she provided of Chester as we walked between venues. If you have a few hours to spare then I would thoroughly recommend this experience.

A great way to spend a few hours! - I decided to buy my husband a voucher for Christmas for the 'Chester Sightseeing with Brewery Tour and Lunch' and I'm so pleased I did. We had a lovely hour and a half with Steph walking around Chester and then went to Spookton Brewery for a tour, accompanied by a couple of their beers and a spot of lunch. We'd thoroughly recommend the tour.

★★★★★ A Delightful Evening Food Tour Through Historic Chester - We recently experienced the Chester on a Plate evening food tour with our corporate group on Tuesday, January 14th, and it was absolutely fantastic! Our guide Stephanie was exceptional - not only was she incredibly knowledgeable about Chester's rich history, but she created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the entire experience. The tour took us to five maybe six, (I lost count) different venues, each offering something unique and delicious. From fresh seafood to decadent cheesecake, the variety was impressive. A particular highlight was trying a non-alcoholic lemongrass gin - as someone who typically doesn't enjoy gin, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it! What made this tour special was the combination of excellent food and drink with the wonderful hospitality we received at each stop. Every venue's staff and hosts were engaging and friendly, adding to the overall experience. Stephanie's (or "Step" as she's known) relaxed and informative approach made the evening flow perfectly, and her historical insights about Chester added an extra layer of interest to the tour. Many in our corporate group were first-time visitors to Chester, and they're already planning return trips - that's how impressed they were with both the tour and the city itself! Pro Tips: Definitely come hungry! The portions are generous, and by the end of the tour, none of us could eat another bite Book in advance as the tours are popular Wear comfortable walking shoes Don't rush - take time to enjoy each venue and the stories behind them This tour is perfect for both visitors and locals alike. It's a brilliant way to discover Chester's food scene while learning about the city's history. Excellent value for money and a wonderful evening out. Thank you, Stephanie and all the venues, for making our corporate evening so special! Would I recommend? Absolutely! This is a must-do activity in Chester, especially if you're a food lover or looking for a unique way to experience the city.

Fantastic day out with lots of variety and super friendly people. - We are local to Chester and visit the city. regularly for days and nights out, although we had heard such great reviews we decided to take the plunge with a view of visiting places we had not previously explored. We met at the agreed time and immediately hit it off with our guide Steph who was great fun for the day. Our day was full of surprises with many different locations visited around the city and at each we were provided with a glimpse of their speciality be it food, drink or historical information about the building or its past. We learnt so much and enjoyed every minute of the day, so much so that we’re now looking to booking a new ‘Beer Tour’. Great day, highly recommended!! Keep up the good work!!
