About Us
We are a Mediterranean style independent restaurant and bar within Chester City Centre. We are based in a historic Grade 2 listed building opposite the Storyhouse Theatre on Northgate Street. We strive for a relaxed atmosphere, offering Mediterranean food, together with beers, quality wines, and spirits.
We started life from humble beginnings, initially as a Mediterranean bar and café. Pursuing the café culture of Europe we strove to offer simple tasty fare, with quality drinks.
Picnic has also become known for it’s live music on Friday and Saturday nights, starting off slow but often getting customers up dancing and singing away.
After surviving our first year we are now moving to the next stage and want to offer high quality restaurant food and hired our new chef Danny to come on board. The Covid crises has allowed a period of time and reflection, to perfect and speed up our plans and push Picnic to where we want to be.
