00:00
So my name is Bianca and I work for The Chambers Restaurant. I do their social
00:06
media and I work front of house as well. It's absolutely fantastic. The Chambers is a
00:12
very unique restaurant within itself. You know you walk past and you assume it's
00:18
just one room within itself. However we have a whole lot more going on here. We
00:25
have event space in the back, we have two dining areas just above us and we have a
00:31
rooftop terrace. So it's a lot bigger than what the eye sees from walking by.
00:36
The Chambers is family run. It's been in the family for about 12 years and it
00:43
used to be an accountant actually before and the accountants have just moved
00:47
across so it's quite handy they still pop into us and see us every now and
00:51
then. We offer such a unique dining experience. You know we are very
00:56
competitive within our price compared to some of the other restaurants around and
01:01
all of our product is locally sourced so it all comes in fresh to us. We use local
01:08
butchers, our fish comes locally as well which is fantastic. I mean there's not
01:13
many places that stick with the area you know and that's how it should be. We
01:19
should be supporting everyone within Portsmouth and not reaching too far out.
01:23
So it's definitely one of the unique things about us. We offer absolutely
01:30
amazing cocktails and they get changed every few months which is fantastic.
01:35
Again they are made fresh here from us and one of the people that work here
01:41
actually she helps design some of the cocktails so she'll create some just
01:45
unique which you won't find anywhere else. So the clients that come through we
01:51
get so many regulars and we're very lucky with that. I like having regular
01:55
people. You build a relationship and a connection with them and it's it's more
02:00
than just a dining experience. It's genuine you know we don't know what
02:04
people are escaping and why they're coming to see us but when they come and
02:07
see us we know that we're going to brighten their day a little bit and that
02:11
makes all the difference. When you're going out somewhere you want to feel
02:14
comfortable and you want to feel happy where you are and that's what we offer
02:18
people to feel comfortable, happy and relaxed whilst they're enjoying
02:22
themselves. Excellent so what would you say are the most popular dishes? Well
02:29
that is a hard one to be honest with you because I'd say all of them but for our
02:33
starters I would actually say the scallops. Again they're fresh, they're
02:38
bought in locally sourced and we have never ever had any problems with them so
02:43
they are fantastic. Pork belly slices on the starters, very very yummy, highly
02:50
recommend. On our mains you can't beat the fillet steak, you really can't. You
02:57
know we get it locally sourced again and I've worked for other steak houses and
03:05
in comparison to some big steak houses it's very very good. That would be my
03:12
favourite. And finally so what should people look out for in 24? So this is
03:18
going over across from food as well as events. Absolutely so we host all
03:24
events here. We have Burns Night coming up very soon and we have Valentine's
03:30
just after that, Mother's Day and we also have obviously our private function
03:37
rooms as well so we would have them going on. We do have a new menu coming as
03:42
well that's coming very soon, a la carte and we have a change of cocktail menu
03:48
coming up as well. So there are some really big changes happening. We're
03:51
looking at changing some of the decor within the restaurant as well so that
03:55
would be something to keep the eyes peeled on. Keeping their heads though. Of
03:58
course, of course. I mean we've made them and everything, they're part of the
04:02
family here now. So I mean going on that as even the last question so obviously
04:08
it's a quite a head-turner. It is. Tell us about the kind of the decor, the inspiration behind it. So I knew this would be brought up
04:15
absolutely and do you know what this is one of the things that made me fall in
04:19
love with the Chambers. Where in Portsmouth are you going to find another place that
04:23
is like this? You really are and you know it's so unique and so quirky. Some
04:29
people call it a man cave but I'm not a man and I love it here so no I wouldn't
04:34
assume it like that. I love all the different little bits and bobs here and
04:39
most of them are antiques you know and they're things that the owner himself has
04:43
gone out and found and that's what makes them extra special. It's like a piece of
04:48
him bringing it here.
