Cheneston's

Classic British Fine Dining in Kensington

Located inside the luxurious Milestone Hotel in Kensington, Cheneston's offers an intimate, old-world dining experience just a short walk from iconic London music venues.

Open for lunch and dinner, Cheneston’s focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients with a menu that features British favourites like roast lamb, beef Wellington, and sticky toffee pudding. The smart casual dress code fits the sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere, making it ideal for a special pre-concert evening without feeling overdone.

What People Say

The setting is frequently described as “quiet,” “intimate,” and “perfect for a special occasion.” Several guests also appreciate the thoughtful touches like warm bread, amuse-bouche, and the sommelier’s wine pairings.

Areas for Improvement

Cheneston’s isn’t the spot for a quick bite or casual drop-in—some guests note that the pace is leisurely, which suits a relaxed dinner but might not be ideal if you're racing to an early show. Prices are on the higher end, reflecting the quality and setting, so it’s best viewed as a treat-night destination.
