As Head of Food and a proud British-Nepalese by origin, the philosophy of “Atithi Devo Bhava”—treating guests as gods—runs deep in my veins. After my inspiring journey from the grand stages of Formula 1 events, I’m thrilled to bring that same spirit of hospitality and culinary excellence to The Bank in Chorleywood.
Here, we uphold a philosophy of light, fresh, and healthy cooking, creating dishes that are not just meals but experiences—an extension of Mom’s kitchen, where warmth and care are the main ingredients. Drawing from my heritage and global journey, every dish reflects a balance of tradition, innovation, and heartfelt dedication to our guests. No shortcuts, no compromise—simply the best food.
Step into The Bank, and you’ll be greeted with Mayfair elegance right here in Chorleywood. The décor sets the stage for a dining experience that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious. It’s a place where food, flavors, and genuine hospitality unite to create unforgettable moments.
Join us to see what’s cooking at The Bank. Here, every guest is family, and every dish tells a story of passion, culture, and the joy of sharing- BINOD BARAL #morethanachef
