Set along the rural lanes of the Somerset countryside, Chew Valley Raj combines traditional South Asian culinary heritage with the welcoming character of a village inn. Over the years, our kitchen on Bristol Road has established itself as a favoured Indian restaurant in Chew Stoke.
Guests can settle into our comfortable dining room for a relaxed evening meal or order online to collect freshly prepared dishes on their way home.
Whole spices, slow reductions, and charcoal embers guide our cooking every evening. Word of mouth originally carried its reputation through Chew Magna, Bishop Sutton, Winford, and West Harptree, creating a loyal following of diners who value generous portions, distinctive seasoning, and genuine rural hospitality.
Fresh Ingredients, Expert Chefs
Our cooking relies on whole spices toasted in-house, garden herbs, and quality cuts of poultry, lamb, and seafood. Rather than depending on pre-made curry bases, our chefs build gravies individually, allowing fragrant bay leaves, cinnamon bark, and fresh garlic to develop layered depth in dishes like our aromatic Kata Massala.
We respect time-tested preparation techniques, marinating meats in seasoned yoghurt before lowering them into the intense heat of the tandoor. This balanced approach ensures our sauces remain clean and vibrant, while our grilled specialities achieve a tender bite and a subtle charcoal char.
The Dining Experience
Our dining room offers a distinctive countryside atmosphere, bringing together authentic Indian food and the friendly warmth of an established village pub. Complete with a dedicated on-site bar for evening drinks, comfortable booth seating, and a spacious free car park, our setting provides an unhurried alternative to busy city restaurants.
We regularly welcome couples seeking a quiet table, families marking celebrations, and walking groups finishing an afternoon around the nearby reservoir. Our staff ensures every table receives attentive care, whether you are trying a fiery curry for the first time or returning for your regular weekend favourite.
Our Most Special Menu
Our menu balances familiar curry-house classics with creative regional creations developed by our kitchen team, spanning sizzling starters, traditional gravies, and vegetarian accompaniments.

Standout specialities include our Chew Valley Special King Prawn cooked shell-on in a rich, medium-spiced sauce, the tender Chew Valley Classic simmered in a warm savoury gravy, and Morgi Massala combining tandoori chicken on the bone with spiced minced meat.
