In a paragraph

The Mount Inn is a Hydes pub in Boughton with cask ale, sport, live music, dogs, children and a tiered garden overlooking the Dee and Chester.

What it's like

The Mount Inn sits above the Dee on a residential Boughton street. The tiered patio and garden open towards the river, Meadows and city, giving the pub a view that is easy to miss from the road.

Hydes cask with a Dee view

Inside is a straightforward Hydes local with cask ale, screens, music, dogs and children’s facilities. Friendly staff and the outdoor view are the recurring strengths.

Worth knowing

The view is the distinction. Without a garden table it is a straightforward Hydes local; with one, it is worth the Boughton detour.
