Owner's description

Cheneston's, named after the early spelling of Kensington, embodies refined fine dining with a touch of British culinary heritage. Discover a symphony of comfort and creativity orchestrated by Executive Chef Daniel Putz, crafting signature dishes infused with inspiration from our founder, Beatrice Tollman. Our menu showcases delightful British fare and local produce, including Scottish salmon cured by H. Forman & Son, London's oldest smokery.
The moment you enter, immerse yourself in a world of Victorian charm—a serene oasis adorned with rich mahogany furniture, warm wood panelling, and Victorian leaded windows flooding the room with natural light. Experience sophistication and opulence in an ambience that beautifully echoes the building's distinctive period architecture.
Proudly holding two AA Rosettes, Cheneston's invites you to savour an elevated dining experience, marrying tradition with culinary excellence.
