Hot off the press, two of us visited to review this very recently reopened historic Grade 1 listed restaurant.  The new owners are a group of friends with a passion for food and wine who have teamed up to bring their considerable experience to launch their vision of a British eaterie.  (You can read all about them on their website).  All are stakeholders in the restaurant showing a genuine commitment to the family style business.   The Chesil Rectory has had a sympathetic to the era refurbishment with some very dramatic antique chandeliers but as its over 30 years since I was last here its impossible to remember what it used to be like.  But I didn't forget the very low ceilings and beams, tall people remember to duck!

There are two menus to choose from - The daily specials £14.95 for two courses, £19.95 for three courses, plus a more extensive regular menu with a good selection of favourites. Prices rage from £4 - £7 for starters  and £12.50 - £15 for main courses.
