The scariest part of Halloween? 👻🎃

The Rope Loft is officially closed for the season, and you’ll have to wait until 2027 to enjoy your favourite seafood again! 😱🦞

Now THAT’S terrifying. 😂

With Halloween just one sleep away, we want to know... what are you (or the kiddos) dressing up as this year? Let us know in the comments! 👇🎃

Wishing everyone a fun and safe Halloween tomorrow! 🧡

And just like that, another incredible season at The Rope Loft has come to an end! 🥹🦞💙

What a year it's been! From delicious seafood and sunny afternoons on the waterfront to plenty of laughs and unforgettable memories, 2026 has given us so much to be thankful for.

To everyone who stopped in for a meal, brought their friends and family, shared a laugh with our crew, or made The Rope Loft part of their summer traditions, THANK YOU! ❤️

And of course, a huge thank you to our incredible staff who work so hard to make The Rope Loft what it is. We couldn't do it without you!

We're already looking forward to welcoming everyone back for another season of good food, cold drinks, and beautiful Chester waterfront views.

Until then, take care, enjoy the winter, and we'll see you in 2027! 🌊🦞
