Bishop Lloyd's in Chester

Ah, Bishop Lloyd's – what a lovely find in the midst of Chester's hustle and bustle. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's one of those places that just warms your cockles with its welcoming staff and that cosy, unique setting upstairs, where you can settle in with a pint or a gin and tonic and soak up the street vibes from the outdoor benches. The drinks are spot on, with mentions of great beers, ciders, and even a baby Guinness that sounds like a must-try, and the food doesn't disappoint either – those meat pies and cheese boards come highly recommended and at a price that won't break the bank. It's independently run, which gives it that authentic feel, and folks seem to love popping in for a relaxed chat or a quick bite. On the flip side, though, it's only open four days a week, so you might have to plan around that, and without a website or phone number, it's a tad tricky to get the lowdown in advance. All in all, if you're in Chester and after a proper pub experience with good grub and a friendly crowd, I'd say give it a go – it's got that heartwarming charm that makes you want to come back, but just keep an eye on those opening times to avoid any disappointment.
