My friend recommended that we try 1539 with a view to have our wedding breakfast here. The food is amazing, service friendly and prompt but not rushed. We have eaten here twice and are looking forward to our wedding breakfast in June. David, the manager, has been especially helpful. More

Excellent place to eat. Food wonderful, staff very friendly and helpful, views over the racecourse and cocktails as well! Great to have somewhere in Chester that doesn't involve a hike across the city from a car park. Not cheap but they do specials at lunch time. More

After spending an exciting day weighing up form at Chester races, we had pre-booked a table at the 1539 Restaurant. This was the first time my wife and I had dined there and we are now very glad that we did. The perfect end to an enjoyable day. Race day is hectic due to the hustle and bustle of thousands... More

We arrived for a birthday meal on Sunday and had a lovely meal. The views are great despite the rain and the service was very good. The food was of a high standard and beautifully presented. Only thing we didn't like was being charged a supplement for a roast beef dinner on a Sunday! Drinks expensive More
