The staff, food, drinks everything was wonderful. Everything we were given to eat was home made and super delicious, especially the lavender cake i tried it was so tasty . All of the lovely ladies that served us today too made the experience here top notch, so polite and kind to us. It was my dad’s father’s day treat and he’s very picky with afternoon tea, but this was “perfect” ( his words) . Thankyou to all the staff at Dormouse Haven for an amazing time !!

My Husband and I booked a table at Shrub Chester ~ this was our first visit. We were celebrating our 39th Wedding Anniversary. We received a beautiful card at our table. We were warmly welcomed and wonderfully attended to by Charlotte. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and she was fantastic at helping me make food and drink choices. She truly is a credit to Shrub. The food was delicious, the vibe was chilled and it was a very special evening for us. Thank you to everyone at Shrub ☆☆☆☆☆

Moules A Go Go

Chester

About the restaurant

As the name suggests, Moules a go-go is famous for its mussels, fresh from the shores of Anglesey, served in a variety of ways from simple Moules Marinieres to Korean. The vast selection of seafood dishes ranging from traditional fish and chips to scrumptious Sea Bass is impressive, though equally appealing are the locally sourced juicy steaks . After 17 successful years in business amongst tough competition, Moules a go-go is still going strong, boasting superb food and a great atmosphere in contemporary yet comfortable surroundings. The head chef and manager have been there since the restaurant’s inception; such longevity is a rare blessing in the tempestuous world of the steaming kitchen, but this dedication shows in the consistency and quality of the food and service. Moules a go-go is a real find in the heart of Chester's history.

We went on a quiet Tuesday evening, but the service was excellent and very attentive. We had starters and the 2-4-1 mussel pot offer - the food was delicious and we will definitely visit again.

Food was really nice. Good choice and quality of food. Service was great, really friendly. Felt comfortable being there. I thought the steak was quite pricey for what it was. But all other meals were perfect.
