What it's like
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.
Brewhouse & Kitchen is a chain, but at least it has a reason to be a chain you remember: the beer is brewed on site, the building has character, and the range gives staff something useful to talk about.
The old Forest House setting helps. It is big enough for groups, comfortable enough for a slow pint, and close enough to the Foregate Street side of town to avoid some of the Eastgate churn.
Worth knowing
It is a chain, but not an empty one. The on-site brewing gives it a proper reason to exist, and the building helps. Go for beer, groups and comfort. Treat the food as pub support, not the main thesis.

How to use it
- If you care about beer, book a tasting, flight or experience rather than treating it like any other pub.
- For food, use it sensibly: pub classics, deals, group plates and something that suits a pint.
- If cask ale is non-negotiable, ask what is actually on before settling in.
- Use it as the Foregate Street side of town option before or after the Amphitheatre, Roman Gardens or Grosvenor Park.
