For Tarporley and Kelsall and beyond, The Royal Oak is already one of the most successful village pub restaurants in Cheshire. But not just one of the good restaurants near Chester – it now combines an Italian restaurant and pizzeria too.

Now there are more eating choices from the Oak Restaurant menu or a Chicago-style pizzeria called Colosimo’s. And there are private dining facilities for both.

It’s named after Chicago’s original mobster ‘Big Jim’ Colosimo. But this is no ordinary Italian food and pizza restaurant for eating out in Cheshire. Prepare for some of the best and most original pizzas you have ever experienced.

As Big Jim would have said “It’s Italian food to die for.” And he should know. Colosimo, once Al Capone’s boss, had his own Italian restaurant in Chicago - along with a few other (ahem) establishments that no-way were pizza restaurants!

But our regular customers needn’t worry. If Colosimo’s Italian food is an offer you can refuse, then we’re still running our Oak Restaurant at the front of the building … the usual great menu for eating out in Cheshire … same great prices … but no gangsters.

Just a wider choice of food for Tarporley and Kelsall that now includes the authentic gourmet pizzas, the most original pizzeria and themed Italian restaurant you will ever have visited … and private dining too.

So the Royal Oak just got even better by adding a pizza restaurant for eating out in Cheshire. Opening and food service times stay the same – but among the good restaurants near Chester it has a quirky atmosphere for meeting friends, eating great food, private dining, real ales, fine spirits and world wines.

That’s why the Royal Oak is not just one of the most successful village pub restaurants in Cheshire. It’s now the county’s most outstanding Italian food service.

Whether you call it a “pizzeria”, a “pizza restaurant”, an “Italian restaurant”, or “private dining” or simply one of the “good restaurants”, we’ll know what you mean.

Colosimo’s pizzeria and prohibition bar at the Royal Oak in the heart of Tarporley and Kelsall – Italian food to die for when eating out in Cheshire.
