Food was incredible but portions were tiny! I paid £24 for the lamb which was diving but only had 4 small slices. If you’re going to go be prepared to spend a lot as you’ll need more than one main.

We had a team dinner (20 of us) and Chatora was a hit! The menu was fantastic and the owner accommodated different tastes and alterations without hesitation. Service was quite fast given our table size but we were not at all rushed. We will be coming back soon.

We went for the pre-theatre menu and loved it. Perfect amount of food, good variety of options to choose from so everyone at the table ordered different items and we all got to sample a little bit of everything. Great value and would recommend.
