    You get what you pay for, thoughtfully designed food served elegantly. This is not just a place to eat, it is a dining theatre where the food is the star. Last night following the canapes we were served a slightly disappointing amuse bouche,it needed some moisture as a base. Starters of lobster and duck leg followed both a joy,in terms of presentation,texture and flavour. Both main courses were equally enjoyable, the steak moist and the fish of the day, turbot, succulent. At this point our appetite failed us and we called it a day with coffee. If you are looking for somewhere to " dine" we thoroughly recommend Cheals.

    Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the carefully designed dishes and the overall dining experience. It's wonderful to know that our starters and main courses impressed you in both in the presentation and flavour. We appreciate your feedback on the amuse-bouche and will take it into consideration. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable evening, perhaps next time with room for desert! Kind Regards Victoria ( Cheals Team )

    We have been a customer of Cheal's for many years including the time they were based in Henley in Arden. We always look forward to eating in the restaurant as we know some of the staff and are assured a friendly welcome and good service. The menus always seem to suit our palate and the presentation and taste of the courses always delight. We would recommend a visit to the restaurant to anyone who has a reason to celebrate.

    We have visited Cheall's many times over a number of years and have never been disappointed. The restaurant is attractively furnished, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the menu opttions are very attractive and appealing, and the food itself is beautifully cooked and presented. What more is there to want from a restaurant? It is our regular first choice dining venue. We have visited on our own(husband and wife) and also on various occasions with both friends and family. All have been delighted with their experience.

    As a regular visitor to Cheal’s we were expecting the same fabulous ambiance we’ve experienced on previous visits. Unfortunately we were seated in the corner outside of the main restaurant at a table for 2 and extremely close to the table of 2 next to us. The restaurant was not at full capacity and the couple next to us were extremely loud and unfortunately this led to my husband and I not being able to hold a conversation. I didn’t feel comfortable asking to move as it would have been very apparent that we were uncomfortable with the situation which may have led to embarrassment. After spending a significant amount of money, we were unable to enjoy the experience and ended up rushing our food and leaving earlier than planned skipping dessert and coffee. The food I must add was beautiful. The service was “good” not the best we’ve had since staff changes and I believe inexperience potentially led to the seating situation being missed.

    We were celebrating my son’s engagement and wanted a really special meal - and it was perfect! Food was incredible and staff excellent. There was a very loud screeching group sat next to us which made conversation difficult and we couldn’t hear the explanations of the dishes presented. I was hoping they’d shut up when they had food in their noisy mouths - but no!! Nevertheless we had a wonderful evening and will definitely return.
