Michelin-starred chef Dominic Chapman has opened a restaurant in Henley, revealing he will put his name to an eatery for the first time in his career.

Named after the Berkshire-based chef, Restaurant Dominic Chapman will serve classic British dishes across breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner with space for up to 60 guests.

Mr Chapman will be heading the kitchen as executive chef and his long-term colleague David Thompson has been appointed as head chef.

His earlier career saw him head the Michelin-starred kitchen at the Royal Oak in Paley Street, Maidenhead, before opening the Beehive in White Waltham, which he ran for nine years.

He also acquired the Crown at Burchetts Green in Berkshire in 2022 and reopened the restaurant in June of that year.

The opening menu includes dishes such as a Cornish crab salad, steak and kidney pie with mashed potato, peppered haunch of venison, chocolate fondant with toffee sauce, almond biscuit, and coffee ice cream.

Based in the Relais Henley hotel, a 40-room boutique hotel, the restaurant also has an outdoor dining area, which can seat an additional 50 people.

Mr Chapman said: “I am thrilled to be opening the restaurant after months of planning.

“Whilst this is my first venture in Henley, I’ve lived and worked just down the road for years so I know the area really well.

“I really wanted to create a restaurant that was accessible to a wide range of people in the area so our menus have been especially designed to make sure we have something for everybody.

“We’ve got lots of exciting plans in place for the restaurant and we’re really looking forward to welcoming people to our new home.”
