About Arkle

Arkle, located in The Chester Grosvenor, offers a range of dining experiences, from elegant afternoon teas to fine dining. The afternoon tea includes a mix of traditional finger sandwiches and gentleman's items like Welsh rarebit and an impressive battered haddock sandwich, accompanied by beautifully crafted sweet treats. Guests can enjoy a variety of teas, such as English breakfast and rum coffee tea, with attentive service, though it may become quieter later in the afternoon. In terms of fine dining, Arkle aims for Michelin star status, serving notable dishes like brill and roast almond mousse. The bread selection is exceptional, although some diners feel the wine list is limited. Service can be inconsistent, with some errors noted, such as forgetting drinks and mishandling dietary restrictions. While some dishes are praised, others, like the canapés, are described as bland. Overall, while Arkle delivers a pleasant dining experience, some guests believe it does not yet meet the high expectations set by its pricing and aspirations for Michelin recognition.
