The Grill on Newgate Street, Chester Review

I am a MASSIVE fan of all the Blackhouse Grills, but had yet to try out the one in Chester and so, took the opportunity whilst living there to head for a meal with my best friend Charlotte.

In January Blackhouse were offering 50% of all food and so it was the best of two worlds when I got to have amazing food for less.

On entry the Bar area is perfect for grabbing a cocktail (or two) and waiting for your table.

I would highly recommend the passion fruit sling, its so fruity and as it's in a tall glass it will last you much longer than your typical cosmo.

We were seated in the middle of the restaurant which is suprisingly big and we could see into the huge open kitchen which I always think is a lovely quality when you can whitness your food being prepared.

Although being nearly a regular at the one in Leeds and Alderley Edge I decided that I would try something new to eat and I'm so glad I did.

For a starter I had the duck spring rolls (since I tried them 2 years ago, no other starter even compares and I am slowly converting everyone I go with to them as well). Everything about them is tasty, especially the dipping sauce and I have often been tempted to just order 3 plates and have them as a main!

For main instead of just having a steak like normal I decided to try the crispy beef fajitas and they were amazing. The beef has a slight spicy kick and the amount of extras you get to create your perfect tortilla is crazy.

If you're a fan of fajitas then these are simply a must!

Charlotte had a burger which also looked mouthwateringly good. Dont you just love the little chip frier the chips come in?

 Then the night sadly had to draw to an end. I was too full for pudding this time, but it does give me an even bigger excuse to return and try out even more of there delicious menu

 Somehow Blackhouse got everything right with the atmosphere from a live pianist and the buzz of conversation around you to amazing food and fantastic cocktails. If you're looking for a great grill to go with friends then you really dont need to look much further.
