The ambiance at the Chesil Rectory is utterly amazing; I'd recommend opting for a seat by the window for an awe-inspiring view of King Arthur. The cuisine is top-notch, and the diverse array of wines offered cannot be beaten. However, the standout feature is undoubtedly their impeccable service - it's simply beyond compare. We indulged in a special South African wine dinner which, like every other experience here, was unparalleled in quality. A recent revisit saw us picking from the à la carte menu and, surprisingly, it managed to exceed our previous visit. The thought of it being any better felt unrealistic, and yet it was!

We decided to commemorate our anniversary with a meal and the experience exceeded our already lofty anticipations. The wonderful service we received was set against the backdrop of a historic Winchester building, delicately hidden away. I must say, the incredible three-course meal served is etched in my memory: the star of the show was undoubtedly the tender-stem broccoli starter – bursting with complex and delightful flavours. The following dish, a creamy polenta, was tastefully complimented with puff pastry and wild garlic atop a layer of asparagus. And the perfect conclusion was brought about by the sheer flawlessness of a brandy snap basket. Chesil Rectory outdid themselves by adding a sweet, personalized touch to our celebration, comprising a heartfelt anniversary tray note accompanied with homemade fudge and marshmallows. Without a doubt, we’ll be returning for future special occasions.

The Chesil Rectory sits in an amazing location - endeavor to grab a spot by the window for an exceptional sight of King Arthur. The food served here is top-notch, with an impeccable wine selection to match. However, what sets this place apart is its unrivaled customer service. We opted for the South African wine dinner, and just like always, it didn't miss the mark of perfection!

How to start describing the exceptional dining experience we had? The meals were a feast for the eyes and the palate, paired with an exquisite wine that we savored like no other before. The ambiance was extraordinarily inviting and warm, all accentuated with the hospitality of amicable and proficient personnel. We were left in awe when they presented a small surprising token for our anniversary, which added a memorable charm to our visit. Absolutely, a repeat visit is on our agenda.
