Another fantastic dining experience last night - spoilt for choice with the menu but, after scrumptious starters, we plumped for the daily specials of beef bourguignon and skate wing and then yummy desserts. Lovely welcome by Kirsty, excellent cuisine by Andrew and all the staff are great. We’ve been going to Chilled Red on and off since 2007 and love it.

Chilled Red in Swanage is an absolute gem of a restaurant. The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food is out-of-this-world amazing, and the wine selection - top-notch! If you're in Swanage, don't miss it. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! 😊🍷🍴

Best of luck to the owners - i think it is a family run business. Decoré is simple, starters are adequate, mains are great and price is right.

Great food, friendly staff. The only minor issue was a lack of character or ambiance in the decor. A few colourful pictures or paintings would help.
Will definitely return when next in Swanage.

Absolutely delicious food, a very warm welcome and excellent service. We spent a week in Swanage and Chilled Red was by far our favourite restaurant. Tucked away behind the main road, it’s an understated, quiet restaurant where the food does the talking. Excellent!

A little bit of an enigma due to limited online presence. However, I do encourage you to pursue (several others do judging by the busy dining room). Limited but good menu offering many interesting dishes, often on the more luxury side (lamb, monkfish etc.). And yes, they do a chilled red wine.

Fresh, delicious, local produce cooked to perfection by Andy and beautifully served by Kirsty and her team. THE best place to eat in Swanage (especially if you love fish!).

Me and my fiancé tried to get in to this restaurant last year (april) with no luck of anyone answering the phone and the restaurant looking closed every time we walked past it. This year (April 2023) we managed to figure out that the restaurant is open from 6pm on I think a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (could be wrong). Anyway, we booked in and the food was quite frankly incredible. Seriously amazing with excellent service. Everyone was really friendly and we felt very welcomed. The food was also really well priced. I read some reviews about the interior being cold and having no ambience, this I agree with which I why I am knocking one star off. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place though.

Fantastic meal. Best we have had in Swanage! Every course tasted delicious and was presented beautifully - and generous portions too! I could have chosen everything off the menu. Lovely staff too. Will definitely be back.

Lovely small reasonably priced restaurant with excellent service and delicious fresh seafood.
We had the specials, a fresh lobster and a fresh fish mixed grill selection. Both beautifully cooked.
It is a bit tucked away, and the location is nothing special, but the food more than makes up for it.
