Chester is a great place to visit if you’re after a fun-filled day out. There is so much to do in this historic city that you won’t be lost for fun activities for everyone to enjoy.

Chester is a Roman city, surrounded by Roman walls. You can take a stroll around these walls whilst taking in the beautiful architecture and sights that Chester has to offer. In the midst of the city’s prettiness, is a wide range of eclectic restaurants and swanky (or not so swanky) bars and clubs for you to enjoy. If it is something a little more family-friendly you’re after, why not take a guided tour of the city with a real Roman? Like most things, these great activities cost money – sometimes quite a lot of money, which can put a stop to your day out and getting the true feel for a city as spectacular as this.

One way to resolve this problem is to use vouchers at the venues you’re planning on visiting. Many restaurants, shops etc are now offering money-off vouchers that can really make a difference to the cost of your trip.

 deli-vert is a superb delicatessen and can be found on Faulkner Street in Hoole. The Chester deli was established in Hoole, in mid-2007, by Chris Mayer – a true Chester local!

Following from the success of deli-vert in Hoole Chris, and his wife Heidi, branched out with another new investment less than one and half years later and began selling their wares from their second site: deli-vert in Tarporley.

Chris was inspired to open deli-vert as place to provide Chester’s local produce and he is a keen supporter of the Made In Cheshire scheme.

Opening Times

Both branches of deli-vert are opening Monday to Saturday from 9am until 5pm.

Products

Much of the produce available at the deli-vert stores have been sourced from within a 50-mile radius.

You can expect to explore bread from local bakers, meats from local farmers and dairy produce from local suppliers.

deli-vert does not stop at simply providing some of the best local ingredients they also use these products to make ready to eat items for your easy enjoyment. Choose from fresh deli sandwiches, salads, soups and quiches and if you are feeling a bit naughty cast your eyes over their freshly-made cakes and pastries for dessert!

Business Lunches

You can pre-order a delicious selection of freshly produced sandwiches and treats from deli-vert which is a sure-fire way of impressing any business colleagues and perfect break in a long day of meetings.

Hampers

For a really special treat or gift, deli-vert combine their irresistible products for you to take away in a beautiful hamper gift set.

Starting from only £20 this is a great way to sample some of the delectable items available at deli-vert.

Chester Cheese Shop is just one of the many Speciality Shops in Chester; although it is probably one of the most famous.


So what makes Chester Cheese Shop special?

Whilst only a small shop, the Chester Cheese shop can offer up to 200 different varieties of cheese.

The shop has been selling cheese in Chester for over twenty five years and for at least the last twenty years has been run by a lady called Carol Faulkner. Carol was no stranger to the retail business or, in fact, to the cheese making process. She is a farmer’s daughter and came to run the Chester Cheese Shop following owning her own restaurant.

One of the reasons she took on the challenge of being host to one of the most unique cheese shops in the country was that as a restauranteur she understood that finding good quality cheese could be a struggle.

With a huge range of British cheeses from areas such as Cheshire and Wales, the Cheese Shop also makes many international cheeses readily available in your local Chester city centre shopping area.

Can you only buy cheese at the Chester Cheese Shop?

Carol has extended the range available in the shop to offer a complete cheese experience. Select from the wonderful choice of cheeses and then develop your snack or dinner party with all the appropriate home-made chutneys, oils, pickles and pastas. Their superb selection of deli meats and cheeses can even be teamed with a bottle from their fine wines and champagne section.

On many occasions Carol will be available to help you match her products with delicious results.

Perfect for a luxurious picnic in the beautiful Cheshire countryside!

Wholesale purchases are available for restaurants, cafes and other catering businesses.

Chester Cheese Shop Reviews

Reviews about Chester Cheese Shop are always complimentary hailing Carol as friendly, the products to be of exceptional quality and variety and all this at reasonable prices. You don’t hear that very often!

Chester has always been hailed as an excellent place to visit for shopping. In the city centre you can shop in well known high street stores or peruse the more interesting and speciality shops within Chester Market, the Rows and the other fascinating streets.

Even if you don’t like city centre shopping and prefer the retail centre style layout Chester is not short of options for you. Only a short way from the city centre you can explore the smaller retail parks or the slightly larger Broughton Park Shopping Centre. For the designer clothes connoisseur the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet Village is approximately fifteen minutes drive from Chester.

It is a concern during the current recession that cities such as Chester will be dropping off the shopping ‘hotspots’ list creating a viscious circle of job losses, poor local economy and further retail unit closures.

Something needs to be done to protect Chester’s shops from falling into a decline from which it will be a struggle to recover from.

The British Retail Consortium published a report yesterday (21st June 2009) stating that the ‘Future of the high streets cannot be left to chance’ and has included Chester alongside 19 other cities as the focus of its plans to help save the economy. Also reported on in the Liverpool Daily Post the report explains that three times as many city centre shops are without traders as compared with autumn 2008, now 12% of units, this report cannot have come too soon.

Douglas Fraser of the BBC the long term possibities and effects of the recession on retail in city and town centres mentioning Chester’s ‘free after three’ scheme which aims to get more locals and visitors using the city centre for their shopping.

This news is followed by the announcement in the Liverpool Daily Post that a one million pound investment programme for Chester City centre has been launched. The boost for the city centre will be aimed at increasing CCTV cameras, cleaning up the appearance of Chester and making the environment safer for locals and visitors to visit.

One problem for Chester shoppers and workers in the city centre could be the public transport system. Reported this week in the Ellesmere Port Standard is just one worker’s campaign for improvements to bus services into Chester city centre.

One can only assume that she is not alone in her experiences but the one brave enough to come forward, highlight the issue and ask for something to be done.
