The Chandlers Arms, Epwell

From the moment you walk in you're greeted as if you were family with warm smiles and genuine kindness. Because the restaurant caters for around eight tables, the parking to the side of the restaurant has more than enough space to cater for guests. There are two dining areas, both of which are intimate and beautifully presented. The entire staff are family and it really shines through as there is a level of detail desire to ensure that your visit is one to remember and they really did not fail to deliver. The set menu is so well thought out and each dish compliments the next with some quite incredible taste sensations to be had. The beef fillet was fantastic but for me, the Ramsbury vodka cured salmon with cucumber sorbet was just stunning. With fine dining as good as this it won't be long until the dad/son chef partnership are seriously considered for a Michelin star because having dined at several Michelin star restaurants the Chandlers Arms are definitely on par. We spent three hours savouring every dish and the intimate ambience and we will be returning again very soon and will be bringing the parents with us so they can enjoy the experience as much as we did. Well done on creating a wonderful dining experience with a genuine approach to hospitality that comes with warm smiles and acute attention to detail. Thank you and see you again soon.

Been here a couple of times. The food is excellent starting with an amuse bouche then starters, mains, cheese, palate cleanser and dessert so plenty to eat. The issue is it's a fixed menu so if you are a bit particular about what you can eat then bear that in mind. Hosts are lovely! Revisited again last night and i have upgraded my opinion to the full 5 stars. This an exceptional place to dine, as can be seen from the reviews. Food, cookery skills, presentation and staff are all first class.

Weve had the absolute pleasure to dine at The Chandlers several times over the past few months, and its hard to put into words how exceptional this restaurant is. Its a family owned and run restaurant. The service is impeccable and the food phenomenal, with a friendly warm atmosphere. Its truly fine dining in a lovely quiet village. We look forward to our next visit soon! x
