Square Meal review of Chesil Rectory:
Brimful of historic character, this splendid, half-timbered treasure dates back to 1427 – reputedly Winchester’s oldest house – & certainly catches the eye on the city’s busy Chesil Street. The interior doesn’t lack period charm either – think low ceilings, original beams & timbers, floorboards, white-painted walls & even a big inglenook. White linen, high-backed dining chairs, candlelight & relaxed, unbuttoned service provide the modern-day touches, which blend stylishly with the friendly & intimate atmosphere. The sophisticated modern French approach thoroughly suits the setting, & the enticing fixed-price menu – including a six-course tasting option – comes dotted with luxury & plenty of prime produce, delivering light, clean-cut dishes driven by high skill & flavour. Choose a fillet of Hampshire beef topped with spiced foie gras & served with a broad bean puree, shallot marmalade & truffle sauce, & to finish, maybe hot chocolate fondant partnered with praline ice-cream.
