Durley Dean Hotel - Restaurant No 28

Imagine the Durley Chine 100 years ago…

…with the elegance and etiquette of Edwardian bathing habits, wheeled canvas and wood bathing machines at the waters edge, the ladies in their hats and full length petticoated skirts, the gentlemen be suited and with cap and the children fully clothed playing in the sea, down through the steep sandy chine rich with autumnal colour.

Kings Rhodes Brasserie

Knowing that the old King's Arms Hotel had been closed for three years and that the site was being redeveloped a table was reserved at the newly reopened Kings Rhodes Restaurant in Castle Street, Christchurch, with just a little trepidation.

British hospitality has been a key feature of this local historic inn since 1669 and under new ownership continues to do so but with considerable style, professionalism and enthusiasm.

Under the guidance of the celebrated chef Gary Rhodes, Kings Rhodes has created a restaurant that is immediately welcoming by its ambience, décor and young front of house team. You are greeted warmly and respectfully, offered either an opportunity to relax in the elegant and bustling lounge bar or to take your reserved table.
