"Due to a computer glitch our reservation had got lost, but even though rammed with loads standing, several large Xmas meals in progress they cobbled together a table for us and supplied free drinks while we waited. The food was hot, tasty and came quite quickly. Watching the other orders coming out you could see that each looked great and well presented. The main servers were so nice and friendly and so apologetic that we were more than happy with the free drinks as compensation but were pleasantly surprised when they knocked 25% off our food bill as well All of the staff were friendly and welcoming and with a great selection of ales and guest beers and tasty food we could see why it was such a popular place Will definitely go again when we next visit Chester"

Very attractive dining pub. We arrived late on a Wednesday evening and it was very busy but they found us a table and really looked after us. Food was top notch as were the 2 beers I sampled. If in Chester would definately go again.

We had a very good meal, served by very friendly staff in an extremely busy English style traditional pub/restaurant. The menu is quite varied (I had the venison pie excellent and the choice of beers and other drinks is very good. Highly recommended. View menu

A beautiful pub located on the canal side just a short walk from Chester train station. A cosy and friendly atmosphere, with a fantastic selection of food to choose from. The halloumi wrap was a tasty and perfect light lunch. Very attentive staff and excellent customer service. I would highly recommend a visit!

Came into harkers on New Year's Eve at around half four for a meal with my partner. The atmosphere was lovely and all the staff despite being busy were brilliant and couldn't do enough for us. The food (I had a burger and my partner had a roast) came out quickly and was absolutely delicious! Cannot recommend this place enough and can't wait to return! View menu

Quick and easy to book online. The pub had a great atmosphere, and was full even at 6 on a weekday night. No piped music, which added to the relaxed atmosphere and helped the conversation flow. There was a good selection of local beers, and the food was fresh and tasty. Special mention for the fish finger sandwich and marmalade ice cream! Staff were friendly and welcoming. I'd like to come back in the summer to enjoy a beer sitting outside by the canal.

I had the pleasure to visit chester several times in the last few years. When I first came, I found this place while I explored the city. now no trip without visit is completed in this pub. several, preferably. this place is not a shady sport pub with many young people who scream together. no annoying loud music or Stag/hen parties. it is a cozy, respectable place with interesting beer and great eating. probably the best fish and chips I've ever had. dog-friendly. I can't wait until my next visit.

"I booked a table for 2 really last minute on a busy December night, piccolio’s manger cosimo took the booking, he was so friendly and helpful that we really needed after a hard work in the cold winter weather! we went in and the restaurants that were breathtaking have woken us! the decor is stylish and above all it was so warm and cozy what we needed, we were greeted with smiles all around by every worker and was immediately taken on our table, without waiting time what ever! we were so swollen! Shortly after we sat, we tamara welcomed them beautiful, well presented and extremely polite. we thought up the menu, while tamara served us the most delicious Rosè Prosecco and took our orders. it was a hard choice, as we wanted to order one of all, the menu choices sound exquisite! so much choice and catering for all food requirements. my own and my friend decided to go for the spaghetti frutti di mare, which was absolutely inconceivable! muddle, mush and calamari topped with a huge garlic king prawn! it didn't take long until there were two empty teller and full bell! we stayed and talked together about the life and there was no hurry to move us from table to tamara has checked us we were so glad to have chosen piccolino chester for our girly dinner date and just wanted to say a massive thank you to cosimo, tamara and the piccolino team. I can't wait to come back to another fantastic evening."
