Located on Cuppin Street, Moules A Go-Go is an independent bar, cafe and bistro that specialises in fresh mussels that come from suppliers in The Menai Straits and the West coast of Scotland. We used to dine here frequently when they were located on the historic Chester Rows but had a bad meal here when…

Like Creperie, Eastham
I was kindly invited to this quirky little place in Eastham a few weekends ago. Open for a year, it offers everything from bubble waffles and crepes to wraps and burgers of every type. It was a beautiful day when we went and so the big front doors were wide open and welcoming……. The menu…
Atina Kitchen, Chester
Upon googling local restaurants recently, Atina Kitchen popped up as top of the list for gluten and dairy allergy ‘friendliness’ in Chester. An independent restaurant with Italian heritage, the menu covered a wide range of cuisines and had a fabulous cocktail list, so I booked for my husbands birthday meal. Found on Foregate Street, I…
The Bluebell, Chester
We haven’t visited this independent, family owned business in Chester for a good few years now. But upon researching the best local places with allergen friendly menus, the Bluebell popped up. In the heart of Chester, in a beautiful old building, the restaurant serves tapas from all over the Mediterranean and lists everything on the…
BUN. , Heswall
We visited this teeny little restaurant just before Christmas on the recommendation of another local blogger. I saw they could do gluten free bread and jumped onto their reservations page immediately. BUN or ‘Born up North’ specialises in hand crafted burgers using locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. I’d stalked their Instagram to look at the…
Hypha, Chester
I read about this little restaurant on Chester City Walls a while ago. A vegan restaurant focussed on sustainability and local ingredients, it piqued my interest immediately even as a meat eater. Offering seasonal tasting menus where everything is used, produce is grown organically and their own fermentation lab produces innovative drinks, I finally booked…
The Forge, Chester (again!)
As soon as we finished eating at this lovely restaurant in Chester a month or so ago, I decided to rebook for the seventh anniversary of my kidney transplant. We wanted something special as this may well turn out to be the last anniversary of this transplant. On arrival we were seated in a lovely…
The Rock Inn, Haytor , Dartmoor
The Rock Inn was built in the early 1800’s and has been privately owned since the beginning. Now a 2 AA Rosette restaurant, this family owned Inn, right by the famous Haytor rocks on Dartmoor has an excellent reputation for its food and its accommodation. So after spending the morning climbing the rocks, a quick…
The Angel Taste of Devon, Dartmouth
We spent a whole week in Devon and ate at many fabulous places that I shall blog about, but I couldn’t not start with this one. The Angel is a multi award winning, fine dining restaurant headed up by the amazing chef Elly Wentworth (you might have seen her on Great British Menu). We booked…
The Blue Bicycle, Neston
My sister took me here this past weekend for brunch. This small, family run coffee shop is one of her standard haunts, yet I’d never been before. Located on the Main Street, with a handy free car park over the road, we sat in the rear of the cafe in their covered courtyard. We arrived…
