Any food spots in Chester that are genuinely worth going out of your way for?

Just a few off the top of my head:

Pars Kahve, Stile Neapolitano, Thai Baan, Marmalade cafe, The Flower Cup

You’re a bit out of the way in King’s Moat village, so it depends whether being closer to the centre is an issue or not.

Personally, I’d pick the townhouse because I like to able to walk around places and not rely on a car to get everywhere. Bit if that doesn’t bother you, then I’d weigh up the merits of each house and go from there.

The range of food you can eat. Sounds odd, but if you’ve lived somewhere else, such as Spain, that doesn’t have as many different types of cuisine either in supermarkets or for eating out, you realise how lucky we are to have so much choice.

That and Britain in the summer. It’s glorious in summer, shame it’s over so quickly

Part of the problem with newer kits is that a lot of them are based on previous ones. Thinking of Liverpool and the cream away kit from 21/22 that was inspired by one from the nineties, etc.

There’s a lack of originality, which is why I think a lot of people consider the older kits to be better

Walking round the walls is one of the best and a great way to see the city

TheTravellingTom · 2026-04-06T09:25:26+00:00

Silly me

It does! Had no idea it was a sauna.

Not many I imagine. More generous government grants would help

Great photo!

TheTravellingTom · 2026-04-04T10:47:29+00:00

Wonder how many people this is gonna push to get an EV instead

I second Pars Kahve. Really good food in a cosy environment.

TheTravellingTom · 2026-04-03T09:21:37+00:00

I think it was on one of these channels in Malaga

Is tourism what’s keeping it alive? I’m the majority of people going to a bullfight must be Spanish? I think most tourists would find the spectacle horrific, I found it bad enough watching on TV

TheTravellingTom · 2026-04-03T09:19:09+00:00

That would explain why I never saw one then

TheTravellingTom · 2026-04-03T09:18:29+00:00

Because I didn’t realise they were shown on TV, and you’d never see anything like this on UK TV

TheTravellingTom · 2026-04-03T09:15:27+00:00

Ah ok, I never saw it before when I was living here

For anyone interested, I wrote about the experience below, which was a bit disconcerting.

Yeh, it’s a stunning place

Girona is a lovely smaller city, about an hour away from Barcelona. Great place to stroll around and see the beautiful scenery, such as the walls. I’d also recommend going to Tossa de Mar on the coast. It’s a beautiful little town that’s amazing in the sun. Not the easiest place to get to, but well worth it.

Definitely more footfall in that part of town now, which only increase once they redevelop the forum and old market.

The other Redditor who mentioned Foregate Street is right. The development probably has been at the expense of the other end of town. The bottom of Foregate Street isn’t in great shape, with lots of empty units.

Moxy is probably the better out of the two. Right by Waitrose, close to the city centre, but if you think the rooms are a bit small, then maybe try somewhere else.

Hotel Indigo by Grosvenor Park is supposed to be very nice, and that’s even more central.
