The Dublin Packet, Chester

Black and white timbered pub which is very narrow with a seating area to the right which is nearly a corridor. Nicely decorated with dark mauve walls. This pub seems to serve the more mature end of the market. There were 2 cask ales available, although they weren't very inventive being Old Speckled Hen & Doombar. My pint of Doombar was in decent nick though. I settled down with my pint and read one of the papers supplied by the pub. It wouldn't be my first choice pub in Chester for the ale range, but it's a hell of a lot better than shopping with the other half & her mother.

A town centre terraced pub, with small beer patio. The exterior has white rusticated stone effect, but mainly white and timber, with dormer windows. The interior is one long room, with a dining area and a drinking area. We ate here a few times when we last visited a couple of years back and the food was fine, there was also something that was either either real ale, or MILD. That had sadly gone, or was unavailable, so our recent visit saw us go in and straight out, hence a less than full account. There was some sporting memorabilia and Sky TV, and i did remember that it seemed to be a haven for the more maturer diner. Shame I couldnt drink anything here.
