Celebrated restaurant Cheal's of Henley has relocated to a premises on Knowle high street.

Owner Matt Cheal started his career as a young chef at Simpsons in 2000, which is where he worked for a straight 16 years; rising to the position of Head Chef after thirteen years and winning the accolades of Junior Sous Chef of the Year (2004) and Chef of the Year (2010) in the process.

Matt oversaw a period in which Simpsons consolidated its Michelin star and was named in the Sunday Times list of Top 30 Restaurants (placed 28th). Aside from running a brigade of fourteen, Cheal also took responsibility for running the cookery school at Simpsons.

After sixteen years at Simpsons, Matt decided to embark on a new challenge, opening his own restaurant with his father, Cheal's of Henley. Today, Matt and his culinary team embark on a new stage in their journey at his new location in Knowle High Street, Solihull.

"We are very excited to announce our new location in Knowle High Street at the former premises of Jacques restaurant. Our new venture is a collaboration between the Cheal’s family and staff, and the owners and management of the former Jacques Restaurant at 1630 High Street Knowle.

"Our ambition is to provide our guests with an exquisite new fine dining experience in our fabulous new surroundings. Our restaurant will offer divine tasting menus, set menus & a la carte options. Our bar will offer delicious small plates (many from our tasting menu) and a grande selection of fine wines, cocktails & beers."

Cheal’s menus reflect their love of classic British cuisine – always seasonal and always prepared freshly in-house using only the finest ingredients. Their brand new tasting menu, featuring dishes such as fillet of beef, scallops, line caught sea bass and rhubarb souffle, is the pièce de résistance, showcasing the kitchen team’s fabulous culinary skills and ingredients selection. As well as the tasting menu, Cheal's also offer an a la carte, a bar menu and Friday afternoon tea.
