The opening of the Newgate Street location has been eagerly awaited with Tomahawk Steakhouse initially hoping to have the restaurant trading by mid-July, but having transformed the interior and with their team now in place, the brand will soon be able to begin serving its famed dishes in the city centre.

In an Instagram post, a statement from the new restaurant said: "We are excited to announce our official opening date is Wednesday 21st September!

"We're thrilled to be bringing our famous Tomahawk steaks to Chester and bookings are now live from Wednesday with walk-ins on Tuesday 20th from 12pm."
