The Chesil Rectory

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!

Our Head Chef, Damian Brown, uses fresh ingredients and quality local produce to create simple, delicious 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 intimate, the restaurant now offers Sunday roasts, early supper, lunch and dinner, feasting menus and private dining.
