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!

Opting to celebrate my partner's birthday, we chose this restaurant for our lunch experience. The process of securing a reservation online was a breeze and we appreciated their courtesy in sending a reminder email a few days prior to our visit. Upon arriving slightly ahead of schedule, they enthusiastically guided us to our comfy, round booth table. Their menu boasted a quality variety of wine options, both by the bottle and glass, along with a selection of beers. Opting for the lunch set menu proved to be satisfyingly flavorful and fairly priced, with a neat £5 discount for each meal at its conclusion. Our dining experience began with an appetizer of freshly-baked, crispy bread. The Farmhouse Terrine we chose next, served with a sumptuous jam, did not disappoint at all, indeed the jam provided a delightful contrast. Both of us savored the Pork Schnitzel, the combination of anchovies and capers adding a unique and tasty twist. Notably, the slices featuring the anchovy were particularly enjoyable. The fresh Baby Gem lettuce was a great accompaniment. Finally, we concluded our feast with delectable desserts. All this amazing dining took place in a charming set-up right in the heart of the city, costing about £50 per person, inclusive of a three-course meal and drinks. All in all, a delicious lunchtime treat.
