Food Tour of Chester’s Rows

Rowvember Chester Food Tour 

Rowvember 2026 means a one-off Rowvember Chester Food Tour. The Chester Heritage Society have made Rowvember a great annual event. On the ….. of November join us for a walk around Chester’s rows to enjoy the food that the Row’s have to offer.

We’ll stop at some of Chester’s top independents as well as explore the Rows hidden history.

Chester’s Medieval Row’s have incredible eateries and bars along them, sometimes over three tiers. Inside many of these beautiful buildings there lies stunning architecture spanning centuries (as well as a few other surprises!)

Most of all, this is a fun, food journey along the only 12th century, timer framed galleried walkways in the world.

The Food of Chester’s Rows

There is a huge amount of history contained within the eateries we’ll visit. The old and the new often collide on the Rows and we want to introduce you to a variety of welcoming spots that reflect this through both their decor and food.
