Is Chester good or rubbish? (with Stephen Tries)

Video summary

Press to jump

0:54A decorative space shuttle beside the Shropshire Union Canal supplies an early sightseeing detour.
7:16Robbie and Stephen book a cathedral tower tour, then take in Chester from the roof.
10:58The pair explore The Rows, Chester's two-tiered covered shopping arcades.
13:10Drinks outside Chester Market lead to wedding planning and Robbie's own wedding stories.
21:20Inside the market, Stephen reviews a wrap while Robbie tries a vegan doner kebab with chips.
26:59Their final verdict on Chester arrives after a wet walk beside the River Dee.

Robbie Knox reaches the riverside thumbnail stop thoroughly soaked, having neglected to check the forecast. Stephen Tries has childhood memories of Chester to share, but neither man has brought weather capable of flattering them.

"Is Chester good or rubbish? (with Stephen Tries)" gives the comedian a walking-tour itinerary with plenty of room for digressions. They climb the cathedral tower, explore The Rows and settle down outside Chester Market, where Stephen's wedding planning leads into Robbie's recollections of his own wedding and honeymoon in Kerala. Robbie describes the historic shopping arcades as "an early version of Westfield", neatly bringing the sightseeing back to familiar territory.

The week's sole upload has reached roughly 79,000 views and is comfortably the channel's busiest video right now. In the comments, Chester residents supply pub recommendations and local memories. One viewer recalls meeting their future husband there; another finds particular comedy in Robbie waiting in the rain near a sheltered station-pub seating area. The city has quite a few volunteer tour guides beneath this video.

Away from Chester, the Boston pub crawl with BambinoBecky remains the strongest older draw, followed by the Margate outing with Johnny Marr. Across the channel, the week brought about 161,000 views, while subscribers stayed unchanged. Today's viewing is slower than Robbie's usual daily level, despite the new video's activity.

Among nearby travel channels, Riri Travels and TJ AND MAC drew larger weekly audiences, while Liam Brown and Tory Delury had quieter viewing weeks. Robbie's own contribution to the itinerary was distinctly compact: one city, one friend and a blue T-shirt that proved no match for Cheshire rain.

What viewers say

As a Cestrian lad myself, seeing Robbie standing there waiting in the rain while in full view of the sheltered outside area of the pub in the train station was amusing. It's surprisingly fairly priced in there considering it's a train station pub doing craft beer.
