The menu at City Tavern in Chester is relatively small, but satisfying. Beginning with starters and small plates, you'll find the likes of cheesy mushrooms sauteed then tossed with double cream, mozzarella and Taw Valley Cheddar and stilton on the menu, along with grilled chicken and chorizo skewers, three bean chilli potato skins and a prawn and calamari duo. Moving on, customers can choose from a selection of chicken or cauliflower wings, either ten or a basket, before coating them in their favourite sauce. Sharing dishes are popular on the menu, too, and include a dish of smoky BBQ beef nachos topped with slow-cooked beef in a smoky sweet BBQ sauce, melting mozzarella, Cheddar, jalapeños, salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
There's always a burger and drink meal deal on the menu, so diners can delight in a great priced deal of a delicious burger served in a soft glazed bun with iceberg lettuce, chopped onion and gherkin, accompanied with fries and a deliciously sticky BBQ dip and a selected soft drink. If you wish, you can choose to upgrade your drink to an alcoholic beverage.
As you bask in the charming atmosphere of our pub, you'll uncover an alluring 2-4-1 cocktail offer, showcasing beloved classics like the blackcurrant gin Bramble, the coffee-infused Espresso Martini, and the potent Long Island Iced Tea. And for those seeking a non-alcoholic option, our mocktails are readily available to cater to your preferences.
