Simon Radley at The Chester Grosvenor Testimonials

From the minute the man with the top hat opens the door to the minute he says goodbye you are in heaven. Unfortunately we didn't sleep here this time but only arrived for a meal. And what a meal it was too. From canapes to sweet - they were absolutely divine as always. The service is nothing short of obsessive. With wine/water topped up in seconds. Bread, all 20 of them, on offer over and over again. The cheeses, all 30 of them described for your delectation and delight. Your napkins folded as you go to the powder room and your chair back when you arrive back to the table. Drinks brought in a blink of an eye. Enough freindliness but most of all professionilsm. If pure luxury is not what you want stay away. Well done Chester Grosvernor and the staff in Radley Restaurant, not forgetting the chef of course, you are again my heroes. Well done...

What a fantastic stay from the minute we were greeted by George to the moment they brought our car back around for us the next morning it was fantastic 1st class keep it up. It was our Mum's birthday and they even put a cake in her room for arrival What Class.

We ate here just as Simon Radley got his second Michelin star. The three of us chose the tasting menu, with accompanying wines for some of the courses. The presentation was very classy, with a high staff to diner ratio. Coordinated lifting of plate covers. This was certainly "fine dining". The tasting menu itself was a fun experience, but my palate was only truly wowed by a couple of the courses. A highlight was the two-tier tray of petit-fours that came with the coffee. The Sommelier was friendly, chatty and knowledgeable. The wines suggested for the courses were well chosen, especially enjoyed the Gevrey-Chambertin.

Mostly what one would expect of a Michelin star restaurant: comfort, careful service, knowledgeable staff, unique menu, excellent presentation, balanced dishes all be they quite small, and of course a hefty bill! The array of breads was spectacularly impressive, until one realised I couldn’t eat them all. A most pleasant evening and I may well return to sample other breads.

It is always a joy to walk through the doors of your wonderful hotel, and especially when staying (if only for one night). The attention to detail, friendliness and professional approach form all staff is superb. We have been very fortunate to travel and stay in many wonderful hotels in other parts of the world, but none compare with the complete pampering experience we always receive at The Chester Grosvenor.

Our memories of the welcome at the door and reception were warmly seamless. My wife’s arrival in her powered wheelchair was beautifully managed and everyone was thoughtfully helpful. The two memorable evenings spent dining in the Simon Radley Restaurant and coffee and petit fours in the bar will remain with us forever.
