The Chester Fields, Chester

Will Larter left this review about The Chester Fields

A modern conversion of a barn and adjoining field into a restaurant and venue for weddings and funerals, which also acts somewhat like a pub. It's a busy main road, so entry is from the car park, but the bar is then immediately upon the right, with two hand pumps centrally placed. Both beers are from local Weetwood brewery, Cheshire Cat Blonde and Eastgate Bitter (or Amber, as we have to say now, so as not to scare the horses). I tried both, the bitter (sorry) being in very good condition, though the hops were a little too aromatic or perfumy for me, and the blonde is also pretty good (average NBSS 3.5), £4.80 for two halves. I've seen a lot worse venues of this type. It might be interesting to find out how "pub-like" it gets later, but it's 5:30 on a Monday afternoon, so I would probably have quite a long wait. I like the building and the way the space has been utilised, so I wouldn't refuse another visit. I'm not likely to get married any time, but I might be up for a funeral?
