Chippenham · Wiltshire
A taste of Athens on New Road
Charcoal-fired souvlaki, slow-cooked kleftiko and a table full of meze — cooked the old way, served in a room of black marble and candlelight.
The grill is being built, the room is nearly finished and the lamb is already on order. Doors open at 5pm on Saturday 10 October — and the book is open now for that first week.
We cook the food of the mainland and the islands without translating it — lamb rested for six hours, feta baked until it sighs, olive oil poured with a heavy hand. Everything reaches the middle of the table, and everybody reaches in.
Our grill is charcoal, our bread is warm, and our wine list is short on purpose. It is the way our family eats at home in Athens, moved four streets from Chippenham's high street.
If it is your first time with us, start here. Every one of these can go straight into an online order or be waiting on your table.

★★★★★“The kleftiko fell off the bone before the fork got there. Best Greek food we have found this side of Bristol, and the room is genuinely beautiful.”
Hannah W. · Chippenham
★★★★★“We ordered the meze for four and it kept coming. Warm pita, proper tzatziki, and the staff never once rushed us.”
Marcus D. · Calne
★★★★★“Collected an order on a Friday night — ready on time, still hot, packed properly. The loukoumades did not survive the car journey.”
