    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.

    I disappointing visit to Cheals. It wasn’t our first time here but the experience didn’t live up to previous expectations. Front of house staff are lovely as always but there is only so much they can do when there are huge delays between courses. The tasting menu was an interesting combination to try but it just didn’t quite work as a combination in practice.
