Chapter One Restaurant
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Finely tuned modern cooking in unlikely location."
Overview
Located on the busy road connecting the Kentish towns of Bromley and Orpington, Andrew McLeish's upmarket Chapter One Restaurant has wide appeal. Handily located just a few miles from the M25, this stalwart of the local gastronomic scene is a top-drawer restaurant in the most unexpected of places. The property offers two distinct dining experiences under the same roof with a casual brasserie and its covered terrace and the more formal restaurant with its crisp linen tablecloths, vibrant gastronomic artwork and friendly ambience. Served by a well-drilled team, you could go for the carte, or the wallet-friendly menu du jour, but either way McLeish strikes an inviting balance between assured modern European cooking and the desire to offer value.
