Ambassadors Selection
The Ambassador’s Selection showcases the depth and diversity of Indian cuisine — a considered collection of dishes drawn from across the subcontinent, chosen for their balance, flavour, and universal appeal.
This is a menu designed for both comfort and celebration. Warm, generous, and unmistakably Indian, each dish is rooted in tradition but selected with a modern audience in mind. Whether rich with spice or gently aromatic, everything served reflects a commitment to quality and authenticity — not excess.
Ideal for gatherings that span cultures and tastes, The Ambassador’s Selection complements the refined Western offerings of The West Wing, offering guests a seamless dual menu experience in one setting.
The West Wing
The West Wing is our tribute to the classic flavours of Continental Europe — honest, well-executed, gastro-style dishes made with purpose and restraint.
This isn’t a reinterpretation. It’s not fusion. It’s food as it should be: timeless, dependable, and deeply satisfying, The West Wing brings together familiar favourites prepared with clarity and care — ideal for corporate dining, private events, and those who value substance over spectacle.
This is a menu built to reassure, to welcome, and to impress quietly. It’s a natural counterpart to the bold and expressive flavours of The Maharaja’s Table, offering balance without compromise.
Afternoon Tea
A contemporary take on a timeless ritual.
At The Chesterton, Afternoon Tea is not just served — it’s curated. With an eye for detail and a nod to tradition, we’ve reimagined the classic ceremony into something altogether more refined.
Begin with your choice from our collection of rare and aromatic teas — each selected to awaken the senses. What follows is a procession of delicate savoury bites and patisserie-crafted sweets, artfully presented on tiered stands and set against the calm beauty of our countryside setting.
There is no rush here. Whether catching up with friends, marking a special occasion, or simply escaping the pace of the everyday, Afternoon Tea at The Chesterton invites conversation, connection, and lingering a little longer.

Sunday Spread
A slower kind of Sunday.
Each week, The Embassy sets the table for something quietly special — a refined take on the traditional roast, curated with elegance and full of character.
Our Sunday Spread is a thoughtfully crafted set menu, built around seasonal ingredients, elevated classics, and dishes available only on Sundays. Each course is designed with care — comforting, flavoursome, and full of quiet indulgence.
It’s a lunch best shared — with family gathered around, with friends lingering over dessert, with conversation flowing and the afternoon stretching on. At The Embassy, Sundays are for good food, good company, and the simple joy of being together.
