Chapters, Hay On Wye - Delicate, Delicious, Considered

Chapters, a Michelin Green Star restaurant in Hay On Wye. Delicate, delicious and considered. A produce led meal, packed with sustainability, great flavours and a beautifully delicate and elegant touch. Highly recommended!

A meal with such consideration for the diner. Memorable, inspirational, aspirational and seriously delicious. I can’t remember the last time I ate so well, where on the surface there was so little, yet absolutely nothing was missing. My perfect meal at Rochelle Canteen
