The Chesil Rectory, located in the cathedral city of Winchester, Hampshire,
reopened under new ownership in October 2008. We are now firmly established as one of Winchester's best independently owned modern British restaurants, achieving  within our first 12 months 2 AA rosettes;  the highest restaurant rating in the city by the Which? 2010 Good Food Guide; and from Tourism South East, a Superior Quality Grading plus an award for use of  Local Produce.

The Chesil Rectory is a relaxed and informal restaurant serving honest, exceptional, robust, British classics. Located in a unique, historic Grade II listed building dating back to 1450, the restaurant still has many original features including solid oak beams, ancient doorways and beautiful open fireplaces. It is the oldest house in Winchester having been bequeathed to the city by Mary Tudor, no less!

Head chef, Damian Brown, uses fresh ingredients and quality local produce to create simple, delicious British classics. 

The restaurant has been totally refurbished and features deep button banquette seating, quirky antiques and vintage chandeliers whilst retaining all its authentic charm. Exciting new additions to the original restaurant include a comfy lounge area and a sumptuous private dining room for up to 12 people.

Stylish, relaxed and informal, the smart restaurant now offers Sunday roasts, early supper, lunch and dinner, feasting menus and private dining.

Don't forget our INCREDIBLE DEAL - just £14.95 for two courses or £19.95 for three courses at lunch & early supper
