5 /5 may pula: My boyfriend and I visited No. 50 Cheyne in Chelsea this past Sunday, and it ended up being one of the most pleasant dining experiences we have had in a long time. We had booked a table specifically to try their classic British Sunday roast, and after seeing quite a bit of buzz online, we arrived with high expectations that were fully met.
We showed up a little early because we were worried about traffic, but the hostess greeted us with such warmth that any stress disappeared immediately. Our table was not ready yet, so she seated us at the bar, which was absolutely beautiful. I did not take any photos because I was too busy admiring the interior, but it is worth looking up online to see how stunning it is.
Once we were seated, she walked us through the menu and helped us start with drinks. The drinks took a bit longer than expected, but she apologised sincerely and even removed them from the bill as a kind gesture, which we really appreciated. She also explained the dishes in detail and offered recommendations since some items were new to us. We never caught her name, but she genuinely made a big impact on our evening.
When the food arrived, it was delicious. The meat was tender and juicy, and the glazed carrots were my personal favourite. I only wished there had been more than two. If I had to mention one small detail, the food was slightly on the cooler side, but not enough to take away from the enjoyment of the meal.
We were seated upstairs, and as the evening went on, the room slowly emptied until we were the last ones there. Turgut, and I hope I am spelling his name correctly, took wonderful care of us. He was cheerful, attentive, and happy to chat, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The entire team carried themselves with such professionalism and pride. Their attentiveness was truly impressive. Even though we ended up staying past closing time, no one rushed us. They encouraged us to relax and enjoy ourselves, which we really appreciated.
Overall, we had a fantastic evening and would highly recommend No. 50 Cheyne to anyone. If you go, make sure to save room for dessert. The crème brûlée and the sticky toffee pudding are absolutely worth it.
