At Chillingworth Road, gastronomy is elevated to an art form. Our award-winning kitchen is the centerpiece of an experience that moves seamlessly from elegant breakfast service to refined evening dining. The ambience is meticulously designed: a contemporary bar for aperitifs and digestifs, a hidden dining room for immersive tasting menus, and a curated kitchen store offering a glimpse into our philosophy for those who wish to take a piece of Chillingworth home.

We are proud to welcome Chef Navi as Operations Manager, a role he assumes with international expertise and uncompromising standards of excellence. Educated in Hotel Management with a specialization in cuisine, Navi began his career in India, refining his craft at globally recognized establishments including The Sheraton and the prestigious ITC Hotels. His move to New Zealand marked a new chapter, where he contributed to acclaimed dining venues and later established the celebrated Blackbird Bar & Café in Sumner, which quickly earned a reputation as a destination for discerning diners.

At Chillingworth Road, Navi brings not only technical mastery but also a vision shaped by global influences and deep respect for provenance. His leadership ensures that every dish reflects precision, innovation, and balance — qualities that define fine dining at the highest level.

Our cellar presents a considered collection of premium wines, showcasing the best of New Zealand alongside benchmark vintages from the world’s great regions. Each pairing is designed to heighten the culinary journey, with expert staff available to guide guests through the experience.

Chillingworth Road is not simply a place to dine. It is a benchmark of culinary excellence, where every detail is orchestrated to create a dining experience of international calibre.
