Chesil Rectory

"This double-gabled wattle and daub house dates from the 15C and its hugely characterful interior takes in heavy beams and a large inglenook fireplace. Classically based dishes are informed by local, seasonal produce and given a modern twist by the experienced team. Service is friendly." - Michelin Inspector

The restaurant is lovely, with contemporary British pub fare and a beautiful setting. Craig our waiter was super helpful and accommodating and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Don't miss a chance to have a meal here when in Winchester. My favourite was the cheese souffle and honey and pine nut ice cream sandwich.

Fabulous and charming restaurant in Winchester. The building made in 1450 is oozing with charm and character to create the perfect atmosphere for the perfect dining experience. The food was first rate and we thoroughly enjoyed every element of each dish. Complements for the chef! The service was warm and attentive and made us feel right at home. Thank you to the owners and staff and we hope to be back one day…

I had the most incredibly dining experience at The Chesil Rectory. The building itself is so full of history and beautifully decorated. The service was impeccable. I had briefly mentioned I had just started a new job and was in town for my first few days, and was surprised with a sweet treat at the end of the meal, which was the loveliest touch! The food was delectable. The gnocchi was unreal!! I can’t speak highly enough about my experience. I will definitely be returning.

We had a fabulous Sunday lunch today for 8 people at the Chesil Rectory. We were lucky enough to be seated in the private dining room which is a beautiful room. The food was excellent - I had the mackerel rillette to start, trout for main and chocolate ganache for dessert. 5 of the group had roast beef and said how fantastic it was. Lots of use of local produce and seasonal ingredients. The service was excellent too, very attentive and welcoming. We will definitely be back.

Charming restaurant in the oldest house in Winchester. Very cozy and welcoming. The service is great. And the food is amazing! Really enjoyed it.

A beautiful, historic building that serves quite wonderful food. Simply stunning inside and full of character. The menu was varied yet not overtly vast and the service was spot on. The food was beautifully presented and tasted divine. A great wine list and a lively espresso martini to finish with. Highly recommended.
