Sunday Lunch in Chester

Sometimes all you want is a roast dinner for Sunday lunch. Here at Welshot we love our Sunday roasts, especially after a day of photography, a walk along the Chester City walls, or an adventure down by the river. Situated on the edge of the picturesque River Dee, The Boathouse this little gem is a slice of rural splendour in a city location. We think that The Boathouse serve the best Sunday Roast in the City.
