The Pied Bull is Chester’s oldest coaching house. The building dates back to the 11th Century when it was the official residence of the Recorder of Chester. Situated within the walls of the historic Roman City of Chester, The Pied Bull hotel offers the perfect location for your next stay in the city. Reputed to be the oldest licensed house in Chester, the pub and hotel dates back to 1155. Today, the interior continues to reflect its distinctive heritage, still housing an original handmade staircase dating from 1533.
The bar area is kept sympathetic to the heritage of the building serving fine real ales from our on-site microbrewery as well as regularly changing guest beers from the local area and from all over the UK. They offer a 10% discount on all real ales to CAMRA members with a valid membership card.
Whether it be a gin tasting platter in the beer garden or a real ale in our cosy pub area, our drinks range is designed to complement every season. Our menu consists of a wide range of wines, draught beers, bottled beers and both home brewed and guest real ales. All of this is accompanied by a vast range of spirits including a selection of malt whiskey from all over Scotland and over 30 gins.
Sleep
The Pub also has 31 bedrooms to offer the perfect way to end your evening in the historic city of Chester. We have a range of rooms to suite your stay, whether you are after a family room or a luxurious suite to celebrate a special occasion in the city.
