Sundays at CHAI 

The sun is out, the tables are ready and the terrace is open 🌿

Coffee in the sunshine, breakfast outside or a glass of something cold later on… exactly how Sundays should feel.

See you in Banstead 🤍

Our next supper club is here… 🇬🇷☀️🍋

A Taste of the Med by the talented Faye Hardy lands at CHAI on Thursday 25th June from 6.45pm with a mouthwatering menu.

Think griddled asparagus with halloumi pesto, chicken keftedes, tahini chickpeas & flatbreads, plus chocolate mousse with Greek olive oil & sea salt to finish.

Tickets go live tomorrow at 7pm.

As always, our newsletter subscribers get 24 hours’ priority booking access before general release. These evenings do tend to sell quickly, so make sure you’re signed up via the link in the bio or on the website if you’d like first dibs.

We can’t wait for this one!

A little heads up… 🍔✨

Soloms Court Vineyard’s debut rosé, Elise, is nearly here - and we’ve just pre-ordered ours 🍷

We’ve got our hands on one of the very first cases… and we’re a bit excited about it.

It’s currently only available to subscribers via their website (and in very limited quantities), but we’re hoping it won’t be long before you see it at CHAI too…

Imagine a chilled glass of this alongside your brunch or supper 👀

If you want to get ahead of the crowd, head to their website and secure a case while you still can or if not, pop down to CHAI for a cheeky bottle 😊
