The concept of a rotating, regularly changing buffet restaurant was inspired by head chef R Dias’ tenure at a number of major international eateries. His credentials include stints at the Duck & Waffle, a fine dining establishment overlooking London from the 40th floor, and the kitchen of the Grand Mercure. Working here, Dias was exposed to a diverse range of menus, all of the highest calibre. Wanting to offer patrons the same diversity, but at far more down-to-earth prices, Chef Special was born. At prices that won’t break the bank, and with dishes that mix up the familiar and the unusual, this place down Putney’s Lower Richmond Road is a restaurant for the whole family, any day of the week!
