Visitor Information

Tucked away in a quiet street adjoining Lincoln’s Inn, this delightful restaurant is hard to find, but worth the effort. The Chancery is a brilliant addition to London’s restaurant scene. From the moment our cappuccino-sized gazpacho amuse bouches arrived, we knew we were in good hands.
An innovative menu focuses on Mediterranean and British classics with touches of international flair. For instance, soy cured smoked salmon stood out among the starters - perfectly marinated and accompanied by a vegetable roll worthy of any sushi kitchen. Ham hock with piccalilli and foie gras was equally refined. Main courses were fairly traditional, but executed with considerable flair, including succulent sea bass and a perfectly cooked beef fillet accompanied by sweet potato puree. The wine list is short on length but high on quality.
On the evidence of this visit The Chancery deserves its loyal following among the capital's gourmands.
Highly recommended.
