Away day racing event. Excellent food and Service.

Roy Danby

Just lovely. Great food, presented superbly. Pleasant and helpful staff and a great location with easy parking. A firm favourite of ours when in the north west of the UK.

Disappointed with the dinner we had here in May. Firstly serving flat champagne is inexcusable under any circumstances but at £14.50 a glass that's just insulting. Service was inattentive and by 9pm the staff seemed to have all disappeared. We finally managed to get our bill and collect our own coats from the cloakroom. All this aside, the god awful neon advertising blasting at you from directly outside the restaurant Windows is a real mood killer. As it gets dark, this lighting really creates a very unpleasant ambiance. If you want a sophisticated or romantic dinner, sadly this place is definitely not a place I could recommend.Update 21 January 2023.As the restaurant invited me to contact them about the bad experience we had, I did so. I waited patiently to hear back from them but never got a reply. Subsequently it transpires that they have shut down and are no longer operating. Well, I suppose with our experience in mind , I can't say I'm surprised. There's plenty of excellent restaurants in Chester and this one won't be missed.

A Sunday Lunch in the build up to Xmas.. and what a meal it was.. my party of seven was served with a myriad of choices of quality tasty food.Three courses at a very reasonable price.Sensible priced wine choices.Restaurant staff were exceptional.. attired in crisp black and white uniform.. they were attentive but not intrusive.. just right.1539 has definitely returned to the premier venue in Chester for a fine dining experience at a very affordable price.Can't wait for our next visit in the New Year 2023.Well done all.Parking: Free on site.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available.

My partner and I had lunch here and the attention given to us is the best I have ever received. The manager was new to the role and she was fantastic.Tracy was attentive and informative as we asked a lot of questions regarding race day hospitality which she answered comprehensively.Food was exce

Fantastic Sunday lunch.Attentive and courteous service, fabulous food and a lovely setting. Rare roast beef was divine and a cocktail on the terrace was a great way to start the meal. Thanks 1539!

Great place, we had a family birthday meal here. The staff were very attentive, nothing was to much. The head of house even got my 14 year old son a totally different starter, that wasn't on our menu, without any if us knowing. The bar staff were great and very knowledgeable and very helpful. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Thank you for such a lovely evening!

Booked a table four months ago and turned up only to discover that our table had been gazumped by a private party.Host then claimed that they’d tried “many, many” times to contact me but I’d received no calls, nor voicemails, no emails.Had been looking forward to this meal and had been turned away. Then received an official “your booking has been cancelled” email which felt like a real punch in the gut.Really disappointed to be treated this way.Not what I expected from a venue of this reputation.Getting one star because I can’t leave a no-star review.

Would 100% recommend. Absolutely beautiful food. Cocktails were gorgeous and amazing selection of drinks. Staff are a credit to the restaurant and are so helpful/ friendly. Service was fast.

Came here after seeing great reviews and wasn't disappointed. We had top class service with high class food and as it was the last night of the £10 off offer an absolute bargain 3 course meal .We will be hoping back at full price

Great location, good service excellent outside area.. tad pricey..

Absolutely phenomenal. The meat was cooked perfectly and every flavour was so rich, but not overwhelming in any way. The cocktails were delicious as we're the wines. The staff were lovely as well! This is the second time we've visited, and we'll definitely be back for thirds.
