Great find for gluten free options, had a lovely lunch, great service from the owner, a lovely lady, very helpful & friendly, would definitely recommend and we will be back, reasonably priced as well.
Holly, our server, was lovely and helpful, her attitude really elevated our experience today. I got gluten free food that was delicious. My friend and I got a selection of starters to share, all gluten free and all them were good. There was not a single item I don’t get again. We got mushroom Al forno, caprese salad, mozzarella garlic bread, king prawns, and a strawberry lemonade each.
We stumbled in here on a rainy day looking for some gluten free options, of which we found several !! The lunch selections were decent, and the *meal* prices were incredibly fair. The food was admittedly somewhat simple, my husband loved the leek and potatoe soup which came as part of the special. We got the impression the focus was put more on the bakery and drinks so I had to try some gluten free caramel apple crumble pie. MY GOD was it good !! However, it was nearly £6 for one lone slice. Having said that, it was surprisingly WORTH that much (but maybe just the once)
The soft drinks I must admit were absurdly priced (over £4!!) and teeny tiny. The staff seemed quite friendly, however they were very busy as the place appeared to be quite popular, particularly for drinks.
May return for the gluten free menu and affordable lunch, and will dream of the apple pie, but a little thrown off by the underwhelming meals and the high prices of other items.
I am also celiac and faced no adverse reactions whatsoever.
A Must-Visit Gem in Chester!
We had an incredible experience at Shrub Chester. The food was absolutely stunning — packed with flavour, beautifully presented, and with a creative vegan menu that really stands out. It was fantastic to see such a great range of gluten- and dairy-free options available too, catering brilliantly to dietary needs without compromising on taste.
A special mention to Charlotte, whose warmth and hospitality made our visit even more memorable. She was attentive, friendly, and truly added a personal touch to our evening.
We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Chester — highly recommended!
Nice place, good variety of options on the menu. Small plates, tapas, main meals, sides. Vegan and vegetarian marked clearly and separate gluten free menu. Good drinks menu with cocktails marked if suitable for vegans and AF marked up too.
Food was really good. Good portions and tasty too.
Staff were friendly but only marked down on this score because of a slight issue. We would recommend and return again.
I was very impressed with the Gluten Free options. Our waiter Danny couldn’t have done more for us. He was very attentive and looked after us from our arrival to us leaving. The food was delicious too! Thank you
My partner and I came to eat because it had gluten-free options and everything being vegan is also lactose-free. All the dishes we ordered were very good and the waitress treated us great, if we return to Chester we would return here without a doubt!
first time visiting the new location and what a stunning location, service was quick and friendly, i had an oat flat white which was perfect and a juicy marbles sandwich which i had with gluten free bread, the food was delicious, cannot wait to return
Celiac friendly
