As soon as you walk in you know you're going to have a great time. The warm service, impeccable food and laid-back ambience really work together for a wonderful night out. Don't miss their seafood entrees, they were stellar in presentation and taste. We also got mains of pulled duck and mushroom risotto. Just divine with generous portions! The cocktails were nice and we'll surely be back for more! Can't wait to try more of the menu. 🙌🏼 We went on a First Table and it was such great value!
Sara Pennington, 2 months agoWhat a great experience and a very special Birthday treat! Lovely Staff that were very helpful, knowledgeable and attentive. Atmosphere was top notch. We chose the 7 course degustation menu and we had a menu to look at so we could identify all the flavours of each course. Specific dietary needs were met (including a request for a well done steak). Child diner was able to order from the bistro menu and was extremely pleased with the steak meal main and Tiramasu dessert. Cocktails were on point as was the wine choice. Thanks team Chillingworth Road for an unforgettable evening.
M K, 4 months agoWe dined in as a FT coupon. The food is good especially the steak was well done very tender. The fried chicken was a bit dry. Vegetables could have more variety- carrots green beans cauliflower and broccoli decorated all plates, look the same … Portions are OK. The listed price a bit high… so 50% off food special is a good deal!
