Description

The Moorings is located on the banks of the River Dee in Chester. We are open every day serving classic English dishes, made with the best quality ingredients.

A warm family home since the early 19th century, first owned by the Dodds, a family of boat builders with a side business selling smoked hams and bacon. From one boat builder to another, Capner bought the home and the business towards the end of the 19th century and transformed their front room into the café that the people of Chester have known and loved ever since. Everything on our menu is exactly the way you would expect it to be, with no hidden surprises and no trendy flourishes. They’re English dishes served in a uniquely English way. We know how great our menu is and we know how rich the history of our building and our surroundings is, so how could we possibly communicate with our customers in anything but a confident, proud and straight talking, yet still grounded manner? We’re proud of our history – everything that we are, and everything that we’ve been in the past. We hope that you enjoy your visit.
