1539 at Chester Racecourse

Photos do not do the food, cocktails and view justice. Amazing food and cocktails. First time in a restaurant since lockdown and it was perfect. I would highly recommend. Staff are a credit to the organisation. Also if you have any allergies, they are amazing with you. I am anaphylaxis and allergic to nuts and peanuts, I usually feel apprehensive and an inconvenience however they put me at ease and went out their way. I even had a pudding which was guaranteed not to contain nuts - which is rare!! Anyway get yourself booked in.

Very friendly and professional staff, temperature checked upon arrival and lead to our table.
The menu was slightly limited but food was amazing.
After the meal we retired to the roof terrace for cocktails, it was a very comfortable setting with outside heaters, a fire pit and blankets a plenty.

We're looking forward to our next visit.

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.

My mum and I have just enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tea which was amazing. The staff were absolutely lovely and could not do more for you and the manager took the time to go round and chat to each table fantastic service. The venue is stunning overlooking the iconic Chester racecourse with a luxurious interior. Would highly recommend

A lovely place to have a meal, wonderful views of the race coarse, the restaurant itself is lovely, a lovely atmosphere, staff are friendly and welcoming, food was wonderful. All in all a great place to visit for a meal. Highly recommended.

Food was excellent, great options and definitely tasty. Staff could not do enough for us. We were a large party and we were looked after perfectly. Would absolutely go again and happy to recommend.

Five star food & service throughout with an especially tailored vegan options on all three courses just for me, many thanks 😀

Excellent restaurant.
I'm not big on places with 1 split carrot, a couple of peas and a pretty bit of meat posing as food and I had wrongly assumed this was that type of place when I was told this is the location that had been chosen. The foid was well presented without being pretentious, wasn't extortionate (not cheap either) but I didn't begrudge the price at all. I had the seas bass which was delicious and a ham hock to start, also really good. A Covid safe environment with many precautions in place. However the main reason for the 5 stars is for how amazing they were with helping my son and his surprise on Saturday night. If there were more stars they would get them.
I will be back for some more posh food :-)

Lovely place with lovely atmosphere and views over the racecourse. The meat is excellent.

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.

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.

Beautiful meal. And very thoughtful of the staff for Our anniversary. Thank you

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.

Excellent service, delicious food and cocktails. Unique setting with a lovely view.

First time here, met up with our friends for lunch. What a fabulous place, we sat on the terrace with incredible views over the racecourse and beyond. The decor and furnishings are brilliant and quirky, the staff very friendly and the food was excellent, we cannot fault it. We will be back for sure.

Have just returned from celebrating my mother in laws 80th and we have had such a lovely evening…everything was perfect from start to finish and Lewis our waiter was superb a credit to your restaurant…he could not have been anyone attentive, he was so much fun and nothing was too much trouble at all!
Food was amazing and the setting could not have been better for our table of 13 aged from 11 to 80! Thank you for such a lovely evening!

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

Very good food and wine along with friendly service. A nice experience enjoyed by all.

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!

Good food, Great location and amazing staff.
