    This was our first visit to Chefs Table and from the warm welcome we received as we arrived it was clear we were going to have a really enjoyable evening. The food was fantastic ,very innovative and wonderful flavours and the decision on which dish to choose was very difficult as all sounded delicious !!! The service was superb with all the waiters fully engaged and very knowledgeable whether the food or wine . We will certainly be back as it was a memorable meal.

    Overall the experience was good, however the main dish was terrible over salted! The snacking (pre-starter) sounded good in the menu but was disappointing. The starter was superb and wine was nice. Was our meal for two worth £166.. No.

    I had the pleasure of celebrating my wife's birthday at Chef Table on December 10th, 2024, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome, going above and beyond to ensure the evening was special. The ambience was intimate and elegant, perfect for such a special occasion. Every course of the tasting menu was a masterpiece — beautifully presented, bursting with flavour, and perfectly paired with exquisite wines. The chef's creativity and attention to detail were evident in every bite. What truly stood out was the personal touch. They surprised my wife with a beautifully crafted birthday dessert, complete with a handwritten message. It’s clear that Chef Table is not just about food but about creating memorable experiences. If you're looking for a dining experience that combines impeccable service, world-class cuisine, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, Chef Table is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back to celebrate more milestones!

    Visited to try the festive lunch menu and it was absolutely delicious. From the soup to the lamb, the duck confit to the ham hock, poached pear and sticky toffee dessert, very dish was so tasty and very well presented. Excellent service from all the wait staff and great wine rec from Cino as always. Practically perfect. We're never disappointed by a meal here.
