From Michelin starred dining since 1990 with ‘Simon Radley at The Chester Grosvenor‘ to independent bistros and high street favourites, this magnificent city can tick just about every box in terms of top quality, locally sourced produce and high-end international cuisine.

While you’re at Chester Art Fair why not make the most of the dining facilities Chester Racecourse has. The White Horse has prime position on the course, overlooking the pre-parade ring, 1539 has breath-taking views in comfotable surroundings and finally The Turf is a great place to visit for a lighter bite to eat.

Set within the most unique location in Chester, the racecourse, we serve generous helpings of comfort food, alongside a selection of traditional beers, real ales and wines.

Weekends are all about relaxing with family and friends and what better way to spend your precious days off than with a laid back stroll around the Chester walls, a cheeky spot of shopping or a wander on the Roodee with the dog; followed by a leisurely bite to eat with the White Horse Chester.
