The Restaurant at
CHELSEA BARRACKS
New Restaurant
COMING SOON
Character and Charm
Architect Ben Pentreath has masterfully employed the use of traditional materials and building methods to create the impressive façade of the restaurant building at Chelsea Barracks. The defining arches and domes of which are all loadbearing, traditional brickwork, sealed using lime mortar. This method, whilst unusual in modern construction, undoubtedly gives the building its unique and charming character often prompting people to enquire as to the history of the building. The answer to which is quite short given it was only completed in 2018.
An exhibition of the finest craftsmanship
The traditional methods are a remarkable exhibition of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Pentreath had the bespoke bricks handmade in Cambridgeshire and then set about sourcing craftspeople capable of building loadbearing brick arches and domes using lime mortar; a not altogether common requirement in 21st century Britain.
Following the success of The Campaner, we look forward to the launch of a new restaurant within this magnificent space in 2026, as the next chapter in its short history is written.
