In a paragraph
Lockwood & Company is Chester Market’s central bar for draught beer, wine, mixed drinks and alcohol-free choices alongside food from the surrounding traders.
What it's like
Lockwood occupies the central bar in Chester Market. Order there, give the team your table number and the drinks arrive wherever the group has settled with food from the surrounding traders.
A proper drinks list inside the market
The current menu is much broader than a functional food-hall bar: a dozen draught lines, beer and cider, a long wine list, made-to-order drinks and credible alcohol-free choices.
Worth knowing
Freshly mixed orders can slow a queue when the hall is full, and the bar cannot provide quiet that the wider market does not have. Go off-peak if speed or conversation matters.
