This famous old hotel in Chester has held a Michelin star since 1990. It is owned by The Duke of Westminster and by association has strong links to game and shooting – the family own a grouse shoot in Lancashire at Abbeystead. Chef Simon Radley first worked at the hotel back in 1986 and after spells abroad and in London took over in 1998. With an outstanding cellar of fine wine and a really dedicated chef any visitor can be assured of high-class game cookery with the grouse season being a highlight.
