Previous history as various restaurants and bars, most recently the Big Hand Alehouse. It is now in the hands of Jerry Brunning, re-opening in May 2022 and named after a former clerk of the peace for Cheshire who lived in the building in 1820.

The main bar area of raised tables and stools, with complimentary newspapers, has a step up to a comfortable side room with an adjacent marvellous cosy cellar area rear including a bagatelle table. Conveniently situated for circumnavigators of Chester's famous Walls or thirsty racegoers.

Information for this venue is provided by the Chester & South Clwyd Branch of CAMRA
