The Ivy Collection has announced the upcoming opening of a new restaurant in Chester. From Tuesday 28th April, diners in Chester will be able to experience The Ivy’s signature style and seasonal dishes, as the restaurant becomes the 46th addition to The Ivy Collection.
Situated on Newgate Street in the heart of the city centre, The Ivy Chester Brasserie will occupy a prime location within easy reach of Chester’s iconic Rows and bustling retail and hospitality quarter. Designed to complement the city’s distinctive character, from its medieval architecture to its vibrant riverside scene, the new venue promises to offer an elegant yet welcoming space for all-day dining and is set to create over 100 jobs locally.
Boasting a total of 163 covers, the venue will also host an impressive terrace that promises the perfect setting for alfresco breakfasts in the morning sun, relaxed lunches with friends, and atmospheric evening dining under the open sky. The terrace will offer guests the opportunity to linger over cocktails, soak up the ambience and enjoy the seamless flow between indoors and out.
Following a number of successful openings in recent years, the arrival of The Ivy in Chester invites guests to step into a space where heritage meets contemporary elegance – a place to linger over beautifully presented dishes, celebrate special moments, and soak up the character of one of Britain’s most architecturally striking cities. Each new opening reflects The Ivy Collection’s commitment to blending heritage, hospitality and contemporary dining, and Chester is no exception.
Guests can expect The Ivy’s much-loved, iconic dishes alongside seasonal specials and carefully curated drinks menus. From breakfast through to late-evening cocktails, the restaurant will deliver the high-quality, accessible dining experience that has defined The Ivy for over 100 years.
The interior design will reflect The Ivy Collection’s signature aesthetic: stylish, comfortable and full of character. Thoughtful details create a sense of occasion, complemented by local art within the restaurant, creating a space which comes together to recognise Chester’s unique history and distinct character. Whether meeting for brunch, hosting a business lunch, or enjoying an evening celebration, the new Chester restaurant is set to become a dining destination in its own right.
Speaking about the opening, Kate Cooper, Restaurant Operating Officer for the North, said:
“The Ivy Chester Brasserie is set to be an incredibly valuable addition to the city’s dining scene. It’s the warmth, pride and unmistakable character of the people of Chester that make the city such a natural home for our next opening. We couldn’t be more excited to offer a vibrant yet relaxed space that reflects the richness of the city, welcoming both residents and visitors alike. Chester already boasts a rich hospitality culture, and we’re proud to become part of that story.”
Further details, including first-look information and opening celebrations, will be announced in the coming weeks.
