Never fails - Edit
Have been going to Chesters for over 20 years and I still love it as much now as I did then. Just realised have never left a review.
Read moreThe menu used to be vast, too big really! Now it’s pared down but still offers a variety of vegan dishes, tapas sized and mains.
The vegan nachos are amazing and the chimichangas or tostados are always top quality!
Service is great too!
Keep it up!
Pros: Choice, Friendly, Always so yummy

Lots of vegan options - Edit
I was so pleasantly surprised when visiting here with some meat-eating family at just how many vegan options were on the menu! I felt spoilt for choice. They have vegan tapas, burritos, fajitas, nachos and more! I went for the tapas and picked the cauliflower wings, pulled jackfruit taco and the vegan nachos. I will say the cauliflower wings were sooo spicy they almost blew my head off!! But that’s a personal preference haha. Definitely check this place out if you’re around.

Pretty good restaurant - Edit
Looked really nice, has an underground eating area which has plenty of decorations and is nicely lit. Menu is wraps, enchiladas, fajitas, this kind of thing. Lots of Vegan options. Tasted fairly good and the portion sizes are excellent. Main issue is it is fairly pricey, about £15 for a main

Vegan Tapas! Amazing! - Edit
I was so happy to see so many of Chester's meals had the option to go vegan! I had the 3 for £15 tapas and all were available vegan which was great. I had a nice selection of food for great value.

Great lunch stop! - Edit
Chesters is a firm favourite, but we haven’t been for a good while now. We stopped for an unplanned lunch and loved the new (at least since we last visited) menu. We shared the house nachos and dishes from the tapas menu (of which about half were or could be made vegan) - we chose courgette and tofu fritters, onion rings, and Boston beans.
Read moreWe struggled to finish the generous portions, but battled through because everything was so tasty! The onion rings were enormous and really nicely flavoured, the nachos were great as always, and the fritters were very tasty.
I have absolutely no doubt we will be back again (and again, and again).
Pros: Good variety of options, Plenty of vegan options on the tapas menu, Great service

Delicious vegan food! - Edit
This is a great restaurant, with all veggie food available vegan, including vegan cheese and sour cream. There is wide range with burritos, quesadillas, burgers, enchiladas, nachos, chimichangas and lots more! Open for lunch and dinner - more expensive at dinner but meals are bigger with a side included, so you get more for your money! Amazing place to eat in a group.

Recommend - Edit
Lots of vegan options. Would recommend the fab vegan nachos complete with vegan cheese and sour cream as well as gauc and salsa. The burrito was good too and I really enjoyed the mixed salad that I had on the side. Portions were generous.

The atmosphere was lively without being too noisy. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Pros: Tasty vegan options with lots of choice, Nice atmosphere, Central location

Vegan Mexican! - Edit
I have visited Chesters many times over the last 7 years. My first experience of the restaurant was during my first year of college in Worcester. (Non Vegan) Chester’s quickly became one of our favourite places to get lunch, or just enjoy a Desperados on a Summer afternoon.
Read more(This visit 2018 I had been vegan for 5 years) The Vegan options here are good. The establishment would cater to vegans better by adding other vegan fillings to the menu such as Seitan, Oyster Mushrooms, and Soya fillings, I say this because refried beans, pinto beans, etc are an extra for the chimichangas, burritos, and are not a base filling.
I had the Vegan Chimichanga with Refried Beans as the filling, it was delicious but could be greatly improved by the previous points.
The vegan Nachos are amazing. I could easily enjoy these as a main meal.
The vegan Carrot Cake was also delicious. I am tempted when in Worcester just to go in and get a piece to take a away. I had been looking for a great vegan Carrot Cake for a while
It is always nice to see a place using a vegan cheese, and cream cheese. Pretty much everything has a fantastic taste, and it is all enhanced by the vibrant aesthetic of decor.
*one note is that the burritos here are not burritos, they are wraps with the filling inside, and the rice, guacamole, salsa, etc on the side/plate. Very disappointing.
This is a restaurant I would recommend to any vegan who is looking for a new restaurant to eat, or an individual with friends, and family who are insistent they must eat somewhere with animal flesh.
Pros: Great atmosphere , Carrot Cake !!, Loads of Vegan options
Cons: Not mobility disabled friendly , Closed on Sunday , No ground level toilet

great restaurant! - Edit
loads of vegan options here at chesters! portions are pretty generous so either go here when you are hungry or you'll likely be taking a tub home with you (but that's ok bc the food is good cold too!). if you go between 12.30 and 4 ish then its lunch menu which is shortened version of evening menu and is much cheaper, after 5 and its the evening menu which is more expensive than lunch time items- for example my favourite burger is £6 before 5 and is £10 after 5 pm. staff are always helpful and good at offering recommendations. atmosphere is awesome in the basement areas but upstairs window seats are great for people watching :)
Read morePros: smoked tofu chili burger!, homemade vegan coleslaw + onion rings , uses beautiful tofutti cream cheese and sour cream
Cons: can get busy , not open on sundays

Cozy place, delicious food - Edit
I went there with some friends and I can totally recommend it.
Read moreThe restaurant is really cozy in my opinion, I liked the place.
The waiters were friendly and always took care that everything was alright.
They offer a menu with a huge choice of different meals.
Most of them can be made vegan or gluten-free and they will be signed in the menu. (you also can download the menu on their website to have a look)
I had the vegan mushroom Burger which came with fries and coleslaw on the side.
It was really delicious and I was hungry so the portion was just alright but rather big so the price is totally fine.
My friends also liked their meals and the restaurant was quite busy so if you are in this area and are looking for some nice food, this might be the place to go! :)
Pros: many vegan, g-f options, huge choice, big portions
Cons: some meals are a bit more expensive

Why can't all places do vegan options like this? - Edit
I had a great vegan meal at Chesters. The menu offers a lot of options and is very clearly labelled with which dishes are or can be made vegan. All you need to do is make sure you ask for the vegan version when you place your order.
Read moreThe food was great and the waiting staff were really friendly and helpful. I just wish that all restaurants offered vegan options in the same way that Chesters do!
Pros: Good food, Generous portions , Loads of vegan options
Cons: A little on the expensive side

Fantastic Vegan food! - Edit
We finally managed to visit this legendary restaurant, which many friends and colleagues have been raving about and it lived up to the hype.
Read moreHaving worked up an appetite wandering around the Malvern Hills we hopped off the train in Worcester(mind the gap, it's a heck of a drop from train to platform!) on what we thought would be a quiet Wednesday night; but at 6.30pm it was very busy (surely a good sign?), so we had a drink in the comfortable bar area.
I was pleased to find bottled Black Sheep Ale (which is sfv) and a good selection of Belgian beers amongst the usual bland big brands.
After a short wait we were led downstairs by a very helpful and friendly chap into the lovely restaurant - it was like being on holiday.
The menu was well-set out and comprehensive - I don't think I've ever seen so many vegan options on a menu. I opted for the chimichangas with 6 bean chill and it was excellent and the portion massive. I struggled to finish it...and I'm not exactly a small bloke.
Maybe they could do smaller portions and reduce the prices a bit?
The server picked us a vegan-friendly sauvignon which was also very tasty.
We rounded it off with a couple of espressos.
It was an excellent meal, but quite pricey. It was also heartening to hear the large group on the table behind us all taking the vegan option.
We will definitely go back :-)
Pros: Great food, Great atmosphere, Vegan ale
Cons: Very pricey, Not enough Vegan ales, Portions too big

Magic Mexican Meals For Veg*ns! - Edit
PROS: Atmospheric bar & restaurant, popular even early on an out-of-season Monday eve (we had to sit in the bar area as the restaurant was already full when we arrived), decorated colourfully in a Mexican style. Friendly & helpful staff, with good, efficient service, even when busy. Vegetarian & Vegan specialities - Mexican & other cuisines - in addition to carnivorous options.
Read moreEnormous menu choice, with vegan options clearly marked - we were spoilt for choice! Vegan cheese, sour cream & guacamole available on mains; ice-cream & soya milk also available. Meal for two (shared starter & dessert, two main courses coffees & soft drinks) was £40, which we thought was good value.
See their website for the full menu (available to download as a PDF). We shared a garlic ciabatta starter. Mains were a difficult choice from so many - both were good-sized portions & hugely tasty. We had Boston Bean Chilli (with half rice/half pitta - helpfully suggested by the waiter) & Vegan Chimichangas (filled with 6-bean chilli & topped with salsa, guacamole & vegan sour cream; accompanied by wild rice & salad). Both mains contained vegan cheese. Dessert was a lovely moist carrot cake made with coconut & walnuts & served with vanilla vegan ice-cream. Soya latte coffees rounded off the meal.
Cannot fault the place & would love to visit again & try more items. Highly recommended. I'd have rated this five stars but cannot do so, as it's not a totally veggie restaurant.
CONS: Too far from where I live to visit regularly!
Pros: Enormous Menu Choice, All Vegan Options Clearly Marked, Great Food & Good Value
Cons: We Don't Live Nearby!
