Simply amazing. Perhaps better than anywhere else, they combine fine dining with an atmosphere that’s actually lovely and relaxed. That’s not to say that the service isn’t as good as any fine dining restaurant I’ve eaten in. Love the use of produce grown on site. As for the wine list…always lots of new things to discover on there. Can’t recommend highly enough.

One of the best meals we've had recently. Would highly recommend the full acre option, every dish was beautifully presented and tasted exceptional. The chef is very talented and creative, which is demonstrated in the thought and delivery of the menu. I love that most ingredients are either from their farm or local suppliers, and I love their seasonal and sustainable ethos. We look forward to returning and trying a menu from a different month. Thank you!

Absolutely incredible restaurant! The staff are so knowledgeable (warm and friendly) and involved in all the processes to bring you a selection of locally sourced, and in some cases grown onsite, dishes that will excite all your senses! Every dish was stunning to look at and discovered tastes that I have never experienced before. Highly highly recommend!

Such a treat!! I kidnapped my hubby and brought him here for our wedding anniversary. Every serving was well-planned, thought-through and full of flavour. It isn’t cheap, but we whole-heartedly recommend it if you want to have an unforgettable experience. A special thanks to the chef and cooking staff, as I personally have a lot of food allergies and intolerances and they made me feel very welcome and not different from anyone else.

Green Michelin - starred restaurant specialising in sustainable, farm to plate dishes. 6 or 9 course tasting menus with or without matching wines. Fabulous food, wonderful fresh, seasonal and mainly local and own ingredients, great service and super atmosphere. Really top place. Small and welcoming.

I could not rate this enough, genuinely 10/10! The price/quality ratio is on point, the food is amazing and the staff is super nice without giving you any "fake smiles". Absolutely deserving of their Michelin star, and I can't wait to tell everyone about this place.

This was a 10/10 culinary experience but without the stiffness you sometimes get from similar places. We arrived and took a few minutes to look at the vegetables growing on the on-site farm which gave us a real feel for the local and sustainable approach of the resturant. Once in the interior and the staff set the tone, warm, friendly and relax. You are encouraged to eat and drink at your own pace and enjoy the experience. On to the food… it’s amazing! Each course is presented by one of the chefs alongside a quick introduction to what the dish is and where it came from. I won’t go into every course but hopefully the images paint a picture! On the booze… I had a local craft beer on arrival which I will certainly be buying again, a glass of white with the fish and red with the meat. Perfectly recommended and complementary to the dishes.
