Is it your kind of place?

Go here if

You want breakfast, brunch, coffee or lunch by the River Dee.
You are walking The Groves, heading for a boat trip, crossing to Handbridge or coming from Grosvenor Park.
You want outdoor seating with a proper Chester riverside view.

Avoid if

You want an evening restaurant plan.
You are very price-sensitive and just need the cheapest cafe lunch.
You want cutting-edge food rather than familiar breakfast and lunch dishes.

Book or call for groups, peak weekends and any special timing. For casual coffee and cake, walking in is more realistic, but sunny riverside days can be busy.

In a paragraph

The Moorings is a daytime riverside cafe and eatery at 23 The Groves, serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, drinks, cakes and terrace food by the River Dee.

What it's like

The Moorings is mainly about location. It sits right on The Groves, which makes it useful for river walks, boat trips, families, visitors, Grosvenor Park, Queen's Park Bridge and Handbridge plans.

Riverside food without city bustle

The food offer is familiar rather than showy: breakfast dishes, eggs, scones, cakes, panini-style lunches, fish and chips, loaded fries, hot drinks and bottles. That is fine if the point is a pleasant daytime stop by the river.

Worth knowing

The Moorings is not the city's sharpest food recommendation, but it is one of the easier riverside daytime ones. On a dry day with a visitor who wants the Dee, coffee and something simple to eat, that is often enough.
