Forty Six in Cheshire West and Chester

Looking for somewhere on Lower Bridge Street, close to our hotel as another wet and cold February day. TA guided us here. Small café and only inside tables, as out of season, but we found a table and shared a really tasty ciabatta with hot drinks. Freshly made and good quality ingredients. Reasonably priced and recommended.

Best breakfast around, the 46 breakfast Bach is amazing 😍, staff very friendly, overall great place to eat in or out, would highly recommend.

Lovely little cafe which gets very busy, the staff are very attentive and can't do enough for you. The food is delicious, I have been many times and have yet to be disappointed. I highly recommend the big breakfast and the forty six wrap. The coffee is also really nice. A great cafe, give it a go if you're ever passing, you won't regret it.

Excellent breakfast as always. Always fresh. Service exceptional. Would a million percent recommend this little establishment. Brilliant value for money 👌

Check your orders before leaving if you're ordering more than 2 sandwiches - always multiple items missing (No Black Pudding on a Bacon and BP Sandwich / No Egg on a Sausage and Egg Sandwich) - toast always overdone. Usually tasty but becoming more and more reluctant to order from there.

Called at restaurant forty six to celebrate a family event. The food we had was a glorious combination of flavours and textures, probably some of the best food we’ve eaten. All six dishes we had were really professionally presented and bursting with flavour.Combine this with a lovely atmosphere and great service and it is a venue we’ll definitely be returning to.

This little cafe is right by a tour bus stop. We went in for a coffee because we were there too early . On the way back we went in again for lunch. The food was freshly made as we sat with our drink, the busy staff were friendly and helpful. Much take-away food was ordered obviously by people who used this cafe regularly.

Hopped off the tour bus right by this cafe, so went for lunch. Lovely staff, excellent food, and great value. The homemade chicken noodle soup is particularly praiseworthy.

Great place for breakfast, I had a few this week while staying close by in a hotel that didn’t serve a full English, very well cooked, service was quick and staff were accommodating, very busy place! Obviously a favourite with the locals. Prices very reasonable, will be coming again.

Best place in Chester for a salad box, I highly recommend you go and try one, there are so many different fillings to choose from. Staff are all polite and friendly. Prices are very reasonable, especially with how expensive everywhere is now. Great coffee, great food, great menu. I highly recommend this place.

Actually I came twice, lunch and breakfast. It is great value and you can eat in or take away.. They have a very big menu to suit all tastes and the staff are friendly.

I love going to this excellent cafe as when I’m in work I will always call in to get a sausage sandwich and cuppa. The staff are welcoming and friendly and always on hand to help. The prices are extremely reasonable infact I think they undercharge because I would pay a lot more for a sausage sandwich. They are delicious well made. I won’t be going anywhere else. Well done guys

I visit regularly to but my lunch while at work. Friendly, welcoming staff and the food is always fresh, well prepared and tasty. Highly recommended.

We had brunch as a part of a visit into Chester. Small menu with pleasant food and an outstanding hot chocolate with all the trimmings.

Lovely brunch here,3 different meals for 3 people, really enjoyed the food, nice friendly and welcoming staff, prompt service and freshly made in front of you! Well worth the visit.

A gem of a cafe on the main road of lower bridge street, near the river. The food is delicious and well priced. There are several tables to eat on or you can take away if you don’t have time.

A gem of a cafe and very accommodating. Delicious breakfast baps and hash browns. The staff are friendly and you can have zny combination of foods. Great place.

Amazing brekkie at this place this morning. Staff were fantastic, really friendly and food was such good quality. Highly recommended

Had the 46 big breakfast it was lovely could not fault any part of it friendly staff nice cup of tea plenty to choose from on a very varied menu not too expensive either

Lovely generous portions and very friendly staff. Went on a weekday morning after discovering no breakfast included at hotel. Got a table no problem and service was really quick, Scrambled egg was delicious!

To call this a sandwich is an insult ! This is an emporium of flavours , especially if you don’t want to eat meat .. although you can! Yummy sandwich combinations & interesting salads , are just some of their offerings . The prices are...

1st time to this lovely cafe in Chester. Walked past it on several occasions, and decided to give it try for lunch, and was not disappointed (Saturday 9th July). Very good selection of food and drinks. Lovely staff there, and helpful. As it was a...

We went here for breakfast after an over night stop in chester. I had scrambled eggs on toast and daughter had a small English breakfast. With 2 teas the bill was £12, brilliant value after other cafes were charging £10 just for a breakfast, lovely,...

Delicious food & one of the best full english breakfasts I've ever had, also a good selection of sandwiches, wraps & toasties together with friendly staff, I can highly recommend & its my "go to" place when I visit Chester.

The café is very nice inside, plenty of choice for food, great salad choice. Not expensive at all, the best Cappuccino in the whole of Chester. Lovely staff very helpful and friendly ( just like places used to be )

This place was recommended to us as somewhere to get a good breakfast and they were not wrong. Small cafe but staff very friendly. Full English was freshly cooked with good quality ingredients. Very reasonably priced too. Thank You

Food excellent and friendly service what a hidden gem! Just far enough outside the centre and within the city walls lower bridge street is a lovely little area we’ll definitely be back 😊

Popped in here for tea and cake whilst wandering around Chester. This cafe is great as it does gluten free options which is great for us as my wife is coeliac. We had a brownie and a millionaires shortbread both of which were excellent. The...

What a find.... cafe was so busy but staff were amazing. Our wraps were out of this world. Will definitely be returning.. date of visit 15/9/21

We went to cafe forty six yesterday. Monday 2nd.d August. The cafe was really busy so thought we would have to wait... but no. Was seen to and served within 10 minutes. Food was amazing and the lovely cheery lady was amazing. So fast. Attentive....

After a very nice walk around Chester we stopped off here for our dinner,great service friendly staff and a good price..

Just the job for hungry teens when staying in self catering accommodation nearby - take away full English breakfast at very reasonable price and great quality

Just discovered this lovely cafe on Lower Bridge Street last week - great prices and delicious sandwiches, served with a smile. Highly recommend their house special, the "46 wrap" packed with hot & spicy crispy chicken and salad.

Lovely little cafe on lower bridge St, not much open near Old Dee Bridge at 9am and this place is a god send, nice coffee toast staff and decor, well worth a visit!

This is a small cafe offering good value food and coffee both to eat in and take-away with a varied menu. The prices are very competitive and the interior is spotless. We definitely recommend a visit.

I went today with my friend Kate and we had sandwiches freshly made and were lovely. In a couple of weeks when the weather gets cold they will be putting the home made fresh soup back on the menu - Yippee

Lovely little place, glad we found it. The wrap and toastie we ordered were lovely as well as the side salad, loved the coleslaw! Staff were welcoming and cheerful, very pleasant :)

This cafe makes the best sandwiches/wraps, not just in Chester, but anywhere! The staff are great, the service is spot on and the sandwiches are crafted to perfection. I go for my lunch weekly. It's also less £5 for a wrap and a drink!

Found this lovely cafe today 27th feb. Food was delish. Highly recommend the forty six wrap. Staff were lovely and very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble.

Popped in here a few times since relocating. Nice staff and very reasonably priced food and drink! Recommended.

Four of us popped in on the morning of the races to get a good base in the stomach for the day ahead. This place came highly recommended on our local search (we were staying nearby but not paying for hotel breakfast). Nice and clean, good food, cooked fresh, good prices, nice drinks, polite service. Lots of locals popping in for take aways which is always a good sign. Would call again.

Fab little find freshly made sandwiches, wraps and jackets. Fresh salad on display. Afternoon tea available too. Very welcoming staff x x

Me & my partner came across this cafe after a morning stroll and what a treat it was! We were welcomed with a very friendly smile and hello, she was very polite. We both had the large breakfast, one being vegetarian, and they were absolutely beautiful. highly highly recommend. What a lovely little cafe located on a beautiful street.

The staff are friendly and helpful, and the food is very good. Everything is fresh and nicely made. There is lots of choice, and sandwich can be tailored depending on your preferences. The prices are reasonable and the service is quick. You can eat in or take away. I work nearby and lots of us eat here at least once a week.

Popped in for a very quick lunch with my wife and son, on a busy Friday lunchtime. I let them know time was limited, so was shown to a table and quickly had my order taken. Food served looking perfect, good quantity and quality in a clean, friendly environment.Definately go back, hopefully with a bit more time to spare.

Visit to purchase my lunch most days. All food is freshly prepared in front of you. Friendly service with a smile

Found this little gem when walking down to the river, I had a small breakfast costing £3.70p which was very good, excellent service, would certainly go again. Very good value.

It's more than just food. It's the service, the community and the people at no.46. Well worth a visit whether it is a quick sandwich, a leisurely lunch or to hob-nob with Craig and the team.

Craig and his cheery crew make both buying and eating my take away lunch a fun experience! The Continental Wrap is a must! The food is fresh and I’ve never been disappointed.

Great little place down Lower Bridge Street which offers sandwiches, wraps, paninis, salads and soups to eat in or take away. The food is always fresh and prepared in front of you by the friendliest staff. I would highly recommend it!

Craig and the team are always welcoming and willing to help. Visit regularly and you can't beat the breakfasts! Wraps and soup also good and tasty. Can't go wrong with food, drink and service!

Visité aquí con una amiga, mi amiga desayunó, y dijo que era una de las mejores que había comido, con el desayuno se incluye una bebida que ofrece una excelente relación calidad-precio. Tuve el famoso 'cuarenta y seis envoltura', que fue increíble. Se llena de gente a la hora del almuerzo con mucha gente que viene para llevar. El cuarenta y seis envoltura parece ser un favorito, y puedo ver por qué.

Made to feel welcome as soon as you walk in. Nothing is to much trouble when ordering food. Hand made sandwiches of your choice and hot food selection. The famous forty six wrap is well worth a try !

Lovely breakfast that set us up for the day. Great choice of food for breakfast or lunch, very clean and tidy little cafe with friendly staff. I had the omelette which was delicious and very filling and my partner had one of the best bacon butties ever. Highly recommended and will be calling again.

Best cafe in Chester! Friendly staff very clean and the most yummy food. Highly recommend for any time of the day with a very good choice of food.

Hands down the best breakfast in town.

The big breakfast here is top drawer. Friendly staff. Nice outside dining opportunity. Quiet road. Table service.

Whenever I'm having a sandwich or light lunch then Forty Six is the only place for me! Craig and his team have always got a smile on their faces and the food is excellent as well as being fairly priced. If you're working or just...

I called into Forty Six earlier today and was meet by the two extremely obliging staff and a very fresh looking array on fresh sandwich fillings

We attended here for breakfast. We had the big breakfast and a croissant. Food was lovely, good choice, and staff were excellent. Good place would visit here again. Good value for money.

Buen sitio para desayunar. Café de primera y buena bollería. Tostadas de tomate y de mermelada también muy ricas.

This place is a real find. The food is first rate, the staff really helpful and friendly, nothing is too much trouble and I would vote it the best cafe I have ever been in. The prices were very reasonable and the food excellent. Definitely go there every time I visit Chester.

We ate here one morning for breakfast. We had a great time. The service was really friendly and the food was good. The sausages could have been better quality but for thx price charged I couldn't fault it. One of our party particularly enjoyed. Ring able to get porridge. Really good value and worth a visit.

A few of my colleagues and I popped in for a bite before heading back to court, tables were full so we elected a takeaway would be a good idea.

Popped in for lunch loads of choice for sandwiches, wraps and all day breakfast. Tasty food, friendly staff and cappuccino was delicious.

This is a nice cafe to visit if you are on a walk around Chester city walls. It is only a short walk from the wall. The staff were a very friendly lot and made our visit welcoming.. We both had omelettes, mine was ham and cheese and my wife's was mushroom. the food is prepared within your sight and we only had a short wait. Whilst eating there were lots of office people, from nearby, popping in to collect their orders. Food and drinks were great and very reasonably priced.

Reasonable prices for a city centre. Good to see food being made to order. Friendly, clean and good to support a small business

Nice cafe, excellent for breakfast or a light lunch. I enjoyed their cheese and ham croissant and all of the staff were very friendly. Reasonably priced especially compared with other city centre eateies. It's not fancy, but the food and service are good.

had a great breakfast, reasonably priced. Waitress was friendly and very helpful, would definitely re-visit if back in the area.

Tuvimos un desayuno encantador aquí en nuestro último día, pero sin duda bear en cuenta para futuras visitas a Chester. Desayuno inglés completo que incluye café o té por £4. 95! ! Ganga absoluta y calentado platos! ! Altamente recomendado.

Great sandwich, made fast and attentive to my needs.A good array of options, made to your specifications.

Good selection of quality food and beverages. Friendly service. Good value compared to most well know chain coffee shops. Would be happy to return if visiting Chester again

Made to feel so welcome. The food was lovely and very good value. Shame it wasn't open on Sunday as well.

Me and my husband have eaten here on numerous occasions, usually a full English breakfast after an early cycle ride, staff are very friendly and you don't have to wait to long for your food

Amazing fresh food made to order. Very reasonable prices. Popular. Very lovely staff who are very accommodating to dietary needs. Serves gluten free food. Will definitely return with more people next time.

I'm very shocked with the review below. I have never come here and been made to feel not welcome by any of the staff. Clearly this person must of come in and sat down without anyone realising and not given anyone eye contact his/herself or made it obvious they were there. I'm sure if this person had of acknowledged a member of staff he/she would of been made to feel very welcome. It all sounds like human error to me and a 1 star review seems a bit unreasonable..... Anyway...I visit forty six regularly, the staff are always nothing but very welcoming. This place gets really busy at lunch times, the staff also deal with a lot of phone orders. Even when this place seems quiet the staff at forty six have lots going on in the background that us customers are often unaware about. You must try the forty six wrap, it's stunning. The prices are very cheap for what you get, but don't be put of as the food is delicious and well worth more then what you pay. £4.95 for a breakfast and a tea/coffee..... very reasonable for what you get.Keep up the good work forty six!I will be back very soon for a forty six wrap, yum!

I walked in and sat down for 5 minutes. The lady at the till was busy writing and completely ignored me so I got up and walked out. I get that people are busy but some eye contact or even communication? May 17@ 1030. Boom! One star. Way to go team...

I visit this café most Tuesdays for lunch with my friend and the soup and sandwiches are excellent. I love all the soups except minestrone the one soup I don't like, so when it is on I don't go. the sandwiches are excellent lots of choice as well and they do deals which is good. We love going to this café the staff are lovely and very friendly.

Called in for a bite to eat and a drink. Very good service and the food was excellent. They have a good range of hot or cold sandwiches.

Popped in for a sandwhich and snack on a stroll down to the river. Amazing customer service and fantastic value for money. Also kept the kids happy with meals and drinks.

We were walking the walls and made a detour to here for a sandwich , we ordered "blt's" and they were delicious , coffee was very good and hot which we needed to warm us up , couple running the place are lovely and friendly . Will certainly be calling back here again .

Went for breakfast with my fiancée after checking out of our hotel. The lady behind the counter was very welcoming. We ordered two 46 breakfasts, essentially a big breakfast 2x everything. Paid about £10 for both and they came with a drink. Very reasonable for what we got. The food came out quickly and it was perfect. The eggs were runny but not gooey, bacon crispy but not burnt. The best things though were probably the toast (never had toast like it) and the black pudding, which tasted like it had a hint of mint in it. It just worked. Will definitely be coming here when we visit Chester again.

Decided to try after reading reviews and wasn't disappointed. It's amazing value for money. I had the 46 special and they let me have it on a baguette instead of a wrap. I ended up with a doggy bag as I could only eat half. I would have expected to pay at least another £2 for what was given. It's not fancy inside but it's perfectly adequate. Will definitely be going again.

Great food, great service, the breakfast's are delightful and the sandwiches are amazing. Would really recommend this place to people.

Amazing food, Amazing service, Amazing craig the chef, its such a happy place, toilets are always spotless, would highly recommend for a bit of lunch or breakfast

Just stopped for a quick breakfast after a night away with friends in Chester! Fantastic food and coffee. Service was excellent and nothing was too much trouble x

Only stopped for tea but please read on.Went on the nearby boat trip and was walking back to the city centre. Had recently had breakfast so we only needed pots of tea. That was no problem and we sat near the deli counter.The place is very clean and bright. The floor show was ace - that is the two people making up the sandwiches and wraps for the many regulars coming in.Toilet is clean.

This is a lovely small café offering well priced food choices.On our visit we enjoyed the cooked breakfast which were very well made and in a generous portions.The tea was good and the service was prompt and efficient.The café is not that big so you may have to wait.Also if you just want a takeaway sandwich the choice of fillings and prices looked very good.

Very pleased to be directed to this little cafe for a bite to eat. We were well looked after and amazed at the choice and value. All food very tasty.

We dropped into this superb café as we were visiting this part of town ,we were on Lower Bridge Street to go to The Bear & Billet Pub and The Brewery tap but as we were a tad early we thought we would grab a quick coffee in here before the pubs opened. Forty Six is a lovely tidy little café,the staff greeted us very warmly and we ordered a nice flat white coffee.We decided to sit outside as it was a fantastic warm morning to enjoy our coffee's. The coffee's were simply delicious and it was nice sitting out in this beautiful part of Chester which has some of the best pub's, bar's and restaurants in this gorgeous city.We had a wonderful time before we moved on to the pubs and when we are back in Chester we will not hesitate to return here. Very easy to locate on Lower Bridge Street. Opening hours are;Monday to Friday,8am till 4pm. Saturday 9am till 4pm. Sunday,9am till 3pm.Superb coffee in a fabulous cafe and well worth checking out.

more attention is needed to serve customs, than gossip about nonsense, it took 15 minutes to get served as the lady behind the counter was far to busy with local gossip , food was ok, but far to slow for a quick sandwich

Passing by called in for mid morning snack, so glad we did friendly cafe and service that was 10/10. Food amazing prices great. Would I call in again a big yes.

I found myself down the end of town I'm not often in, with half an hour to kill between meetings, hoping to grab a sandwich. I popped in to Forty Six, pretty much at random. It's clean and light, the menu is varied and there's plenty of scope to customise the sandwiches just the way you like them. I ordered a spicy chicken wrap, and was delighted to get a HUGE serving of chicken and fresh salad, wrapped in soft tortilla. It was approximately the size of the moon and delicious. I will be back.

I had the most delicious lamb and mint yoghurt wrap here with lovely salad leaves packed in to the wrap as well. My partner enjoyed his bacon and chicken wrap, said it was very tasty and packed with salad! Very friendly owner and lovely staff, thoroughly recommend!

My favourite sandwich is the tudor and it is just fantastic! I love going here and it is always a memorable lunch every time I do so!

We were out for a BH Monday visit to Chester and saw the signs saying gluten free was available, one of our party needed gluten free and is veggie and the other dairy free we saw the sign offering both GF & DF options so popped in. Staff were instantly welcoming though getting near to closing time and when we explained dietary requirements said if its on the menu as an ingredient in anything we can make something with it to accommodate we decided on GF salad sandwiches with hummus they went to town and filled our plates and sandwiches with salad We really enjoyed our meals

Excellent service, lovely food and friendly staff. Good range of Gluten Free food. It gets busy Friday mid morning - but that shows how good the place is,

Craig and the ladies make the best lunches around. From jam on toast right through to the daily specials. :)You guys have won a place in our hearts and our bellies.

We love our often daily visits to see Craig and the gang...friendly, happy staff and scrummy butties! Great value for money too and always happy to adapt your order to what you fancy! Can highly recommend a Forty Six wrap! We wouldn't go anywhere else :))

We visited twice. The first time, we had finished walking the walls and enjoyed a great bowl of chicken and sweet corn soup. The next morning we stopped in for breakfast, which was also very good. Even the teas and coffees were good!The prices were pretty reasonable but they could have done with another member of staff maybe.
