Disabled access

Disabled access is via the front car park and through the main entrance. We have a disabled loo at ground level, so if you need a table that is close to disabled amenities, please let us know.

Car Parking

Parking at the pub is extremely limited and fills up very quickly, but we have plenty of parking close to the pub (see below).

The parking at the Architect is free for patrons of the pub. Customers are entitled to 3-hours free parking but ensure your registration is recorded at the bar upon arrival. Full T&C's are displayed in the car park.

For other local parking, click the map to view it as a PDF.

Children and minors

The Architect is essentially an adult's environment, although supervised children are welcome. We have baby changing facilities in the disabled toilets, and we have high chairs available.

Prams and pushchairs

Due to the constricted nature of some of the dining areas, we would ask you not to bring prams or pushchairs into the pub on busy sessions.

Bookings

We do take bookings, but we try to make sure that there is room for customers who are not able to book in advance, so if you have not made a reservation, it's not the end of the world. If there are no tables free we run a waiting list.

Please make bookings by calling or using our online bookings calendar link at the top of the page. Unfortunately we are not able to take bookings via email or facebook.

We don't reserve any of our outside tables so if you enjoy a little alfresco dining these are on a first come first served basis.

Dogs

Dogs of the well-behaved and on-the-leash variety are welcome in the bar area.

Sadly due to our operation we are not able to cater for very large parties or groups.

Private dining room

We have a private dining area on the first floor with a table that seats twelve, which enjoys excellent views over the racecourse.

Taxis

Abbey Taxis, Chester - 01244 318318
