Taste

Deriving its name from an early spelling of Kensington, Cheneston's is an intimate and elegant restaurant, offering the finest British cuisine.
As you step in from the bustling city streets of Kensington you will be struck by the fine traditional décor, rich mahogany furniture, warm wood panelling and the abundance of natural daylight pouring in from the Victorian leaded windows. Enter a world of calm sophistication and sumptuous luxury in our dining room, a room full of character, reflecting the distinctive period architecture of the building.
It’s hard to imagine a more comfortable and welcoming environment in which to enjoy an exceptional dining experience, with discreet yet attentive service to match.
The Conservatory
This bright and airy Conservatory, with its chic juxtaposition of sheer black and white, gives you the al fresco ambience with natural light pouring through the glass. With comfortable leather armchairs and sofas it is the perfect place to unwind.
Stables Bar
An intimate and unique hideaway. Names can be deceiving and that's certainly true of this Kensington hotel bar. Although it’s called the Stables at the Milestone, it's not just a place to pass through on the way to somewhere else. With a delectable signature cocktail, theatrical presentation of you drinks & barrel-aged whisky this bar should be your ultimate destination.
