Old Boots left this review about Chester Station Tap Room

A square room in very elegant style and although the paint job is grey plague the original features are lovely and still discernible. The counter is at the left hand end with eight pulls, the four on the right serving Spitting Feathers beers, they lease the joint, while the left bank has non local small brewery beers, today they were from Kirkstall, Shiny, Stonehouse and Sureshot. The Spitting Feathers beers and the one from Shiny that I tried were in excellent order. There are also 20 odd kegs available, the Untapped display above the counter lists everything over two pages.

The decor has a rather magnificent arts and crafts fire place and a portrait of Victorian railway contractor Thomas Brassey - a Cheshire lad. He built a huge number of the UKs railways and even by modern standards was a benevolent employer, there is chapel in Chester cathedral to his beloved wife. Seating is in short booths round the periphery with tall tables and stools in the middle. The front door leads in from the taxi rank while a rear door opens on to the station concourse near the ticket barrier line, with a train describer board in one corner it’s very handy for travellers.

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.
