Incredible dry-aged beef and wild venison will be found in the maturation cabinets, awaiting their turn on the amazing forge grill, to be lovingly grilled and roasted over beech logs.

As the name suggests, Moules a go-go is famous for its mussels, fresh from the shores of Anglesey, served in a variety of ways from simple Moules Marinieres to Korean. The vast selection of seafood dishes ranging from traditional fish and chips to scrumptious Sea Bass is impressive, though equally appealing are the locally sourced juicy steaks . After 17 successful years in business amongst tough competition, Moules a go-go is still going strong, boasting superb food and a great atmosphere in contemporary yet comfortable surroundings. The head chef and manager have been there since the restaurant’s inception; such longevity is a rare blessing in the tempestuous world of the steaming kitchen, but this dedication shows in the consistency and quality of the food and service. Moules a go-go is a real find in the heart of Chester's history.

    We’re regulars at Sprout Kitchen but decided to try one of their roast dinners today. Despite there being a storm outside, the atmosphere was so festive! It was a busy afternoon but the staff were amazing as always and so attentive. The food was INCREDIBLE and portion sizes were absolutely crazy. We can’t wait to come back again in the New Year ❤️ I hope all the staff have a lovely Christmas and well deserved rest. See you next year! ❤️
