Award Winning Chester Restaurant, Bar and Delicatessen
Joseph Benjamin is a Chester restaurant and delicatessen owned and run by brothers Ben and Joe Wright.
The concept behind the restaurant is simple - top quality food and drink in a comfortable and relaxed environment, prepared with honesty and integrity and served with care and attention. Open all day, Joseph Benjamin evolves from serving coffee and breakfast at 9am to lunch at 12, cafe again at 3pm and then, on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday, becomes an intimate, candle-lit restaurant and bar.
Tucked alongside the restaurant, in the shadow of the Chester city walls, is the delicatessen and newly expanded cookshop specialising in homemade, local and seasonal specialities as well as quality kitchenware and all things coffee and tea-related including 15 different varieties of coffee bean and 20 types of loose tea.
Passionately averse to the pretentiousness and fussiness of many new restaurant developments Ben and Joe are personally immersed in every aspect of the restaurant - head Chef Joe taking care of all things kitchen-related and Ben managing ‘front of house’ and 'doing the books' in his sleep.
Joe and his team put together a short menu of locally and seasonally focussed dishes that changes completely every few weeks and is broadly described as modern-British-European.
