Where The Light Gets In

I booked where the light gets in for me and my husband's wedding anniversary. We didn't expect the restaurant to be as comfortable, cosy, and have a warming atmosphere, but it has that! It makes a refreshing change in contrast to going to other restaurants where they are formal, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you don't belong there. We were welcomed by James, who gave us a drink of duck consommé in which duck was a running theme and then led us to the chef's table. I loved seeing the chefs work their magic to music varying from funk, disco to rock. The chefs also played a part in service, which I was surprised but I enjoyed it, we got to see who was making our menu and also connect with them. Kemi and Becca served our drinks, and they are full of helpful information in regard to the drinks. Every dish didn't miss a beat. They were all delicious and fabulously presented. We enjoyed every minute, and it was so worth it. I love how they source local ingredients from their allotment in Stockport to a fishermen in Cornwall. Thank you for making our dining experience so wonderful WTLGI! I would do it again in a heartbeat.

A unique experience, from food to people. An almost perfect machine that is there to Surprise you, with local flavours that taste like the world. Every person we met, every food we have tasted was worth it ( but also drinks ). It's hard to describe it with words, I can only suggest you to go there and try.

Lunch at WTLGI was an absolute delight this afternoon! Service was friendly and warm. The food was elegant, simple and satisfying. The sharing of knowledge about the food and drink we were consuming was refreshing and enriching to the whole experience. We left feeling indulged and nourished in equal measure!! Cant wait for the next visit. x

Hard to find words worthy of expressing how we felt at WTLGI. We could say we were transported to a whole different universe, embarking on a culinary adventure. The team behind the place is amazing, really kind and very passionate about their work. You can see that by talking with them, which you get the opportunity to while they bring out the small plates, 1 by 1, sharing the story behind each ingredient. We went here for the summer/autumn tasting menu but we also had a wine pairing. We tasted 5 wines which actually went really well with each of the meals so thumbs up to their sommelier. The wines also carried some interesting stories which were shared with us by a very kind and passionate Becca. I won't say much about the food, but it was definitely the best we've had so far, and knowing a bit about it's history adds so much more to the experience.

Only one problem for me which was the fact it's not disabled friendly. Great location in the top of an old mill , and I mean right at the top. As yet, no lift has been installed but hopefully this will happen in the future. It was a wonderful culinary experience with around ten tiny courses each one surpassing the last. Our party was in there for two and a half hours. The service staff told you about how each course was produced and grown as local as possible to make it sustainable. Even though it was a hike to get in to the restaurant , I will go again 😊

Last night was a true gastronomic adventure at WTLGI. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by a warm and relaxed atmosphere that set the tone for the rest of the evening. The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly the 11 courses we were served. Each dish was more impressive than the last and was accompanied by an exquisite wine flight that truly complemented the flavors of each course. The restaurant takes great pride in sourcing the best quality ingredients from all over the country. And they even started their own garden on top of a car park during lockdown! It was fascinating to hear the tales of where each ingredient came from and how it was prepared. The standout dish for me had to be the Carlingford oyster. I've had my fair share of oysters over the years, but this one truly stood out. It was fresh, briny, and perfectly shucked. I could have eaten a dozen more and never grown tired of their delicious flavour. Overall, our experience at WTLGI was truly unforgettable. It's not just about the food, but the whole experience. From the incredible service to the unique atmosphere and outstanding cuisine, it was a night that we will never forget and made my partners birthday special.
