In a paragraph
Brewhouse & Kitchen Chester is a large Love Street brewpub in the old Forest House building, with beer brewed on site, pub food, beer experiences, dogs, bookings and outdoor seating.
What it's like
Brewhouse & Kitchen is a chain with one useful distinction: Chester has a working microbrewery in the building. The house range covers pale ales, IPA, lager and stout, with tasting flights and bookable sessions for anyone who wants more than a quick pint.
Beer first, food second
The former Forest House is roomy, with several bookable spaces as well as the main bar and dining areas. It suits groups and planned beer sessions better than a quiet crawl around Chester's smaller pubs.
Worth knowing
It is still a chain pub, and the big-room service can show that at busy times. The working brewery gives it a reason to choose this branch: go for the house beer, a tasting session or a group meal with beer attached.
