In a paragraph

The Bull and Stirrup Hotel is the Grade II listed Wetherspoon pub and 11-room hotel on Upper Northgate Street, useful for breakfast, cheap drinks, rooms and north-city plans.

What it's like

The Bull and Stirrup is one of Chester's more handsome Wetherspoons: a red-brick 1889 hotel building at the top of Upper Northgate Street, close to Northgate, the bus station and the city walls.

Northgate pub with rooms

That setting gives it more texture than the average chain pub, but the offer is still the familiar one: breakfast from early, app ordering, cheap drinks, a licensed outside area and rooms upstairs. Useful, yes. Soul of Chester in a pint glass, no.

Worth knowing

The Bull and Stirrup is a good-looking old Chester building running as a Wetherspoon pub with rooms. That makes it handy, affordable and occasionally frustrating. Use it for location, breakfast, cheap drinks and a simple bed; do not ask it to be a boutique stay or a careful dinner.
