Ola amigos!

It's us again! Pedro and Diego, the two most suave and debonair skeletons you'll ever meet. And let us tell you, we've been having a ball at the !

This place is the oldest and most medieval building in all of Chester, and let us tell you, it's a cracking place, especially since they renovated the back room! There still unsure what to call it, either way we love it in there! Not to mention the new Pinchos menu, it really is out of this world, and the best part? No booking required, so Diego and I can just stroll in and indulge in all the delicious small plates our bony hearts desire!

Who knows, you might even spot us trying to charm the local seΓ±oritas!

Hola!

Safe to say, love has not been kind to me. I find myself unexpectedly available and still looking for lasting love. I have my own car, and great prospects in the music world! πŸ˜‰

Interested?

You can usually find me hanging in the in Northgate St, they’re friendly and since they launched this new Pinchos thing with no booking or faff, why not! Guess I should say it’s so reasonably priced and deliciously different & I can have a good time, and spend as much or as little as I want!

Anyway enough about them, if you too are looking for romance and a long term relationship drop in any time, perhaps you are a banjo player too!

Just ask for me at the bar when you arrive, they all know me. And maybe you will be the one to repair my broken heart.

Oh yeah my name is Pedro Dos Gorra (and my mate is Diego!)
