About

The newly refurbished Boathouse is located away from hustle & bustle of Chester City Centre, make your way to just outside the city walls and join us for a drink down by the river. Stroll down to the idyllic River Dee and stop off at The Boathouse to rest your legs, recharge and grab a bite to eat. There’s plenty of choice on our menus, with a number of vegetarian and vegan options available. We also serve arguably the best Sunday roast in Chester. Come and join us this weekend and see what all the fuss is about. As well as our award-winning line up of cask ales on the bar and delicious dishes from the menu, we provide comfortable and attractive accommodation if you’re looking for a relaxing place to stay.
