Rob Hunter left this review about Chester Station Tap Room

Visited in September 2025 - this relatively new opening is a Spitting Feathers venture. Entrances from both street and station concourse. I am not sure what was utilising this space before, but it has been nicely done out decorative plasterwork on the ceiling, chandeliers, and a fireplace (unused at the time of my visit).

Seating consists of a mix of booth seating to the edges, low tables and chairs in the centre, and a single high table at the fireplace end. There are also drinking shelves with high stools dotted around in the remaining spaces.

At the bar, 8 hand pulls with 7 in service at the time of my visit, offering Spitting Feathers ales plus guests. My curiously named Mouth.Pans.Hops (MPH) set me back £2.60 for a half, which I think is pretty reasonable for the location. Plenty of keg taps too, if cask isn't your thing, and four or so cider-in-a-box offerings.

Food is served with the breakfast menu 7-5 (8-5 Sundays and bank hols) and main menu 12-5.

It was fairly busy at the time of my Friday afternoon visit, so I expect this new venture will do well. Well worth a visit.

An excellent station tap, fairly recently opened by Spitting Feathers brewery. Comfortable seating and a very pleasant atmosphere. Six cask ales available, with a couple of their own beers and some guest ales. The two beers we had were in very good nick. We'll definitely be calling in here again.

There are some excellent taprooms at railway stations around the country. This new pub is right up there with the best. Opened by Spitting Feathers Brewery who also have the Brewery Tap in the city, the single tall ceilinged room is a lovely restoration of a Grade II listed building. We didn't have too long to admire the interior, but it does feature some impressive tilework, especially the large fireplace in one wall.

There are a total of 8 handpulls on the bar. 6 Spitting Feathers beers were Trio.Brew.Alien, Mouth.Pans.Hops, Old Wavertonian, Rocky.Dime.Stand, Brainstorm & Best Bitter. The other 2 were both from Salopian - Cypher & Escalation. There were also a couple of ciders - Nightingale Mystery Bird & Lilley's Cherries and Berries, as well as an excellent selection of craft beers - Spitting Feathers Rat Race, Howling Hops The Upper Crust, Whiplash Slow Life, Tartarus Megaera, Thornbridge Jaipur Does Faith, Blender Polyphemus, Vault City Brain Freeze Raspberry Slushy Sour, Spookton Pompidou Discount, Salopian Lemon Dream & Weekend Project Montane Grassland.

I'd venture as far as saying that this was perhaps my favourite pub of a day's drinking in Chester. If I ever change trains here, I'll make sure I allow enough time for a swift half or maybe even several. Well worth a visit.
