Fantastic food tour. - This was the best food tour that I’ve ever been on. Steph was a really professional and informative host who definitely knew about great food. She took us to amazing restaurants that we would never have found on our own and gave us so many tips for other great eateries. The tour was excellent value and we had a wonderful day. I would absolutely recommend going on this food tour at the beginning of any stay in Chester, and you’ll get the best advice on what to see and where to eat, as well as having a great day.

Delicious tour of Chester! - Three vegetarians booked to join a tour on a Monday - apparently not the best combo as some venues are not open that day. Despite that Steph curated the most amazing tour for us plus three omnivores. Far too much to eat, unexpectedly cosmopolitan food, but also fascinating anecdotes about the history of Chester, stories about local food producers and restauranteurs - superb value for money! Plus the suggestions for places to try during the rest of our stay were spot-on. Tip - ask what's coming up on the tour at your first stop - we wished we had, then we wouldn't have over-eaten early! Love the specialist tours coming up later in the year like the cream tea on the river and a local cheese and paired wines evening. Wish we lived closer!

10/10 The best fun and food we’d had in ages - This was the best food tour! We’ve been on tours abroad and in the UK. There are so many hidden gems and Steph was the best one!! So knowledge and loads of fun. She made sure everyone was happy and looked after and we really appreciated that. It was a big group and we met lots of new friends, plus we’ll try and get back to Chester and visit the venues because they were wonderful and the food was delicious. Plus great drinks pairings, and non-alcoholic alternatives that were brilliant which was good as one of the group were driving. If you’re a food lover and coming to Chester, this is brilliant. There were bits of history and stories and Steph made them interesting and good fun. All in all, an amazing tour and we’ll try and come again in the Spring! Thanks Steph

So the following day me and my partner followed her advice and had another great day exploring her recommendations The tour you get a good amount of drinks and food to try. Especially love providence gin and the pie at the Brewery tap. Such a great day Looking forward to the next one

Fabulous Way to See and Taste What Chester Has to Offer - This was a fabulous day out in Chester. We not only visited many independent restaurants but also saw bits of Chester that I had never seen before. Steph, our guide was very informative on both the history and the food. All of the restaurant owners were welcoming. All of the food and drink that we tried was delicious. We felt very full by the end! We did a tour with 6 others and by the end of the day we felt as if we had had a day out with friends.

Lovely half day food & drink tour of Chester - Highly recommend the Chester on a plate food & drink tour. Steph was so knowledgeable & friendly. She had obviously worked very hard to build a relationship with each of the venues. The venues we went to were small independents with such friendly welcoming staff/owners We finished feeling extremely full with delicious food & drink. A great way to spend half a day in Chester.

Totally amazing and highly recommended - Absolutely amazing afternoon run brilliantly by Steph. The whole journey from start to finish was so well put together and gave such a great snap shot of Chester and the little hidden restaurants' gems. All of the food was delicious. Each restaurant owner gave us a run down of the food and drink. Met a lovely bunch of people, too. This was a gift for my friend for her birthday, and she loved it too. Highly recommended. x

Great tour, informative and fabulous food and drink offerings - There were 8 of us in our party, 5 of whom had never visited Chester before. The communication beforehand was excellent, I had initially made contact with Steph to enquire about a private tour but was more than happy when she told me there would be 14 of us. Steph was welcoming, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate about Chester and its hospitality scene. We learnt some snippets of history and went to off the beaten track venues for delicious food and drink. It was a well thought out route and great mix of food choices. We will definitely be visiting a couple of the venues again to explore the menus - places we didn’t know existed prior to the tour. Would highly recommend, a great way to spend the afternoon!

Lovely, informative tour of Chester and great independent venues - My sister and I joined a food tour on Tuesday 19th August with Steph. It turned out that on this occasion it was just the 2 of us on this tour. Steph is very knowledgeable about Chester and the venues we visited. They were all expecting us and explained what food and drink we were receiving. Walking round Chester people saying hi to Steph so she is well known and valued. Felt like we had known Steph for ages at the end of the tour. We fully recommend joining this tour to try some independent venues (some i had no idea about and will definitely go back to try) and learning new information about Chester. Thanks Steph very enjoyable.
