In a paragraph
Little Owl is the large Marston's pub by Gawer Park, built for mixed-age meals and groups arriving by car.
What it's like
Little Owl is not a tucked-away Chester snug, and it is better for admitting that quickly. The official facilities cover an on-site car park, designated accessible spaces, a children's play area, dog-friendly bar space, a beer garden and enough room for larger tables.
Logistics-friendly pub for mixed groups
It works for plans that need space rather than ceremony: before or after a zoo trip, local meet-ups, birthday lunches, funeral teas and gatherings with several different requirements.
Worth knowing
The food can vary and nobody is coming here for independent-pub character. Choose it when a broad menu, room for the group and easy arrival matter more than making the meal a Chester highlight.
