Restaurants

The Chester Arms restaurant in London, on the fringes of Regent’s Park, is a neighbourhood favourite, a terrifically friendly pub that serves food people really like. The high-ceilinged main room has been made light and airy with soft shades of orange and cream. The flat screen telly is here for the tribal watching of sporting events and there are seats on the pavement for summer evenings. The Chester Arms – a free house -- serves real ales as well as an array of blinding cocktails. No wonder it’s a favourite.
