Town Crier, Chester

Substantial establishment located some distance from the city centre but directly opposite Chester's railway station. It was probably rather grand at one time, but now is rather downmarket inside (with lots of garish promotions). However, there is still some nice tiling around the perimeter of the bar counter. The original room layout has been opened out somewhat, leaving various different seating areas within the overall 'L'-shaped floor plan. Large beer garden to rear. Two of four handpumps operational, offering Doom Bar and Black Sheep (£2.60).
