Independent Chester: My Top 5 recommendations
I love city life, but I do feel in many modern cities now, there are so many chain bars/restaurants/coffee shops, everywhere starts to look the same. I come from a small town in West Somerset, and although like most places now they have the usual chain coffee shops, and supermarkets, it's the independent places which I find give the best service, are often the best kept secret, a jewel in the crown as it were- plus if you support a local business, you are really making a difference to your town/village/city. I have lived in Chester since 2009 -can't believe it will be 10 years next year- and although it is a small city, it is packed with things to do, places to try, and people to meet. I've always found people in the North West so friendly and warm, and Chester definitely has a different vibe to cities like Liverpool or Manchester. I adore all three, but scratch beneath the surface of Chester and you'll see there's far more to Cheshire Life than Chester R...
