Lunch at Cheal’s in Knowle, Solihull

April 27, 2024

Cheal’s is restaurant run by Chef Director, Matt Cheal.

Matt was formerly Head Chef at Simpsons, and won such accolades as Junior Sous Chef of the Year (2004) and Chef of the Year (2010).

In 2015 Matt established his own restaurant - Cheal’s of Henley-in-Arden, however, after 7 years the building was too small to cope with demand and Matt was unable to expand due to the limitations of its Grade II-listed status. So, when an opportunity arose for him to open a new fine dining establishment in 2023, he decided to take a leap of faith and set up a larger restaurant in Knowle.
