In a paragraph

The New Deva Tap is a Brook Street pub near Chester station for local craft beer, pub food, live sport, dogs and a small outdoor area.

Local beer and food near the station

The current April-November schedule runs Wednesday to Sunday, with the kitchen closing before the bar. That makes it useful for a planned pre-gig meal and less reliable as a late or early-week fallback.

Worth knowing

The short weekly schedule and early kitchen finish need checking. When the timing works, it is a friendly beer-led pub with food, sport and a genuinely useful station location.
