About Chai Ki (Restaurant)
During the day, we serve a special Prix Fixe menu in the Restaurant dining space. Two-courses are £18 or £21 for three-courses. In the evening (from 5pm) the A La Carte menu in the Restaurant offers a more refined, experimental cuisine featuring traditional flavours and ingredients, alongside a carefully selected wine & drinks list. HIGHCHAIRS, PRAMS & BUGGIES We have designated tables for high chairs in our Toddy Shop Bar only, subject to availability. Lunchtimes are busy so we recommend contacting us in advance so we can note your requirements. Due to limited space we kindly request that all prams, buggies, scooters or similar are left at reception for safe keeping.
