The Manchester Evening News is offering one lucky reader an overnight stay for two at The Chester Grosvenor. The prize also includes dinner at the luxury hotel's recently-opened Arkle Bar and Lounge.
The Chester Grosvenor is a stunning, five-star hotel on Eastgate Street, next to the iconic Eastgate Clock, and dates back to 1865. Its eagerly-anticipated new fine dining restaurant opened for business last month.
The Arkle is headed up by newly-appointed executive chef Elliot Hill. The venue was previously known as ‘Simon Radley at The Chester Grosvenor ’ but underwent a £250,000 revamp and rebrand after temporarily closing last summer.

The focal point of the launch offering is its tasting menu - also available as vegetarian and plant-based options - and includes dishes such as chicken en gelée, blanc of wild turbot, fillet of beef and Tatws Pum Munud – new Chester-born executive chef Elliot’s take on a traditional Welsh dish, and inspired by his father.
Elliot, a National Chef of the Year finalist in 2021 who was formerly head chef at Liverpool's Panoramic 34 and Oddfellows Chester, has a hugely experienced team around him. Joining him in the kitchen team is head chef Raymond Booker, who has been in place at The Chester Grosvenor for more than 17 years, head pastry chef Declan O’Driscoll and senior sous chef Sam Griffiths.
Speaking following the launch of The Arkle, Richard Grove, general manager of The Chester Grosvenor, said: "With the Arkle now fully open and boasting a team that’s been immersed in our 30-year history of Michelin-standard fare, we are excited to be delivering the same exceptional standards of service and food for which we have always been known."
"It’s an exciting time at The Chester Grosvenor across our entire food offering, and we’re delighted to be back open and welcoming guests."
