This week, our roving social media team, Chrissy and Lenny, had the pleasure of experiencing the Abode Chester’s Festive Carol Sunday Lunch, a delightful culinary and festive affair that perfectly captures the spirit of the season.

Nestled within the walls of the historic Chester Racecourse, Abode Chester exudes a refined and elegant ambiance, providing the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience.

The Festive Carol Sunday Lunch menu, priced at £45 per person, showcases the culinary expertise of Abode Chester’s chefs, featuring an array of traditional Christmas dishes with a modern twist. For her starter, Chrissy opted for the delectable Fishcake starter with wasabi mayo, a refreshing and flavourful prelude to the main course. Lenny, on the other hand, indulged in the crispy duck fritters, which were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavour.

The main courses were the epitome of Christmas indulgence. Chrissy savoured the succulent pork, which was cooked to perfection and complemented by a rich gravy and all the trimmings. Lenny, a traditionalist at heart, relished the turkey, which was moist, flavourful, and generously portioned.

As the meal progressed, the atmosphere was further enhanced by the melodious sounds of carol singers, who filled the room with the heart-warming melodies of the season. The conductor’s engaging interaction with the guests added a touch of warmth and merriment to the occasion.

No festive feast would be complete without a decadent dessert, and Abode Chester did not disappoint. Chrissy’s Sticky fig port pudding, served warm and brimming with Christmas cheer, was a true delight. Lenny, a self-proclaimed chocolate lover, revelled in the rich and decadent White chocolate and clementine cheesecake.

As the afternoon drew to a close, Chrissy and Lenny savoured the final sips of their accompanying wine, a well-rounded red that perfectly complemented the meal. With clear plates and satisfied palates, they stepped out onto the balcony, where the stunning views of the Chester Racecourse provided a picturesque backdrop for a memorable dining experience.
