The Dublin Packet, Chester

now far more tightly managed by Greene King including imposing their own beer. Rating reduced - not worth a visit anymore.

I passed by today and noted three hand pulls at the bar, offering Old Speckled Hen, Ruddles County and Olde Trip. This is a Greene King pub.

The Dublin Packet is a long thin pub with a bar on the rear wall that faces the entrance. There is some seating and a dartboard to the left and booth seating to the right which leads to the toilets. Plasma screens are located throughout for showing Sky Sports and a jukebox was playing some random background music. A standard and premium keg range is available from the bar that supports two handpumps that were drawing Greene King’s London Glory and Old Speckled Hen. I didn’t see any food advertisements. The service was polite, but I struggled to get comfortable so will not return anytime soon.
