Description

Welcome to The Henry Potts, a city pub in the basement of Chester’s historic Watergate House. We have good honest food, a range of beers and ales that we’re proud of and some excellent wines, some of which we blend and import ourselves. Despite being in a basement, it’s a welcoming and cosy place to be, and the staff aren’t too bad either.

The Henry Potts was opened on the 1st June 2022 and is the fourth pub belonging to Pubs Limited, which was founded and run by Jerry Brunning, formerly Brunning & Price, other pubs are Swan at Marbury, Black Bear in Whitchurch and The Hare at Farndon. The pub is so named after Henry Potts, who the house was built for in 1820.

This is Your local pub in the city, offering good honest food, cracking beers and interesting wines with a warm welcome.

• Race days – our aim is keep it consistent with all over days of the year – “We have been asked the same question a lot since we announced the opening of the pub. What about race days? As a pub we want to be consistent, and 15 days a year of race events shouldn’t deter us from offering good honest food and drink to our regular guests.  So we ask that you let us know if you want to come to The Henry Potts, before you arrive on race days You’ll need to be on our list to gain entry.  It won’t be a free for all, we won’t be greedy. We want to offer the same pub atmosphere to all our guests, whether you’re attending the races or just want to pop into your local. Simply drop us an email, give us a call and we’ll see you here.  Please don’t be deterred from wanting to visit The Henry Potts on race days, if you’re not going to the races. We’re your local pub.”
