Had a great night, all dishes delicious, we had 2× small plates plus pasta; all lovely. Attentive staff, good vibes, we'll be returning.Vegetarian options: We're not vegetarians so I wouldn't want to say...some of the small plates would appear suitable though.

Great food in a comfortable atmosphere, served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. The pasta was cooked to perfection and it's so fresh and delicious. It's a good idea to order different dishes to try a bit of everything since they're not that big. The price is very good. I was a bit dissappointed by the tiramisu... it wasn't an authentic one, very runny and sweet. But I forgot about it because the rest is just amazing. I bought a bottle of vermouth to take home and the friendly waitress even told me how I could prepare. I'll definitely come back.

We hadn't booked and arrived at a busy lunchtime during the Easter weekend but were received in a cordial and welcoming fashion. We were sat at a raised side countertop where they sell a variety of quality produce. Service was jovial, attentive, and well paced. We chose two small plates as a starter, the butter beans and leek dishes which were beautiful in their simplicity and flavour. We then had cacio e pepe and bigoli pasta with garlic and olive oil which seemed to have chilli and radish in it as well. Both were perfectly executed and Al dente. It was clearly homemade and delicious. The glass of wine I had was nice and suited the dish but for a small glass, we thought it was expensive. The espresso was very nice and served in the correct cup and saucer but it could have been pre warmed. It was unfortunate that we were sat next to the door as the place also does takeaways. Some customers didn't close the door or consider fellow diners who were eating nearby. The door could do with an automatic door closer but staff were aware and did make the effort to close it when they could. All in all a fantastic lunch in a nice town which has limited other decent options and we would definitely return.

White wine undrinkable for my palate which for the cost was also very small. 1 tiny slice of bread with pate, not enough.Parking: Parking in Waitrose car park

We had a wonderful group lunch in the Tasting Room at Chater's. The food was delicious, the team were all super friendly and accommodating - and we all loved the design and the atmosphere.

Group of 4 friends catching up normally in each others houses. But Chaters was a wonderful change. Excellent choice of small plates, and the chef created a non cheesy pasta dish for me not on the menu as my large plate. Can highly recommend the blood orange spritz. Excellent atmosphere, every table taken (Friday evening) but still very good service. Will definitely be back.Delia.
