What an honour to be listed in the OAD Europes Top Resaurants! Such a prestigious list of incredible chefs and restaurant, being included here is a real honour & compliment, especially as such a small 8 seat restaurant & a one-man-band.

NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO - Elderflower & Spruce Lemonade youtu.be/GKQ4G-ns0-A


The first nasturtium flowers are coming out in the raised beds which reminded me I don’t think I ever shared this picture of a dish from last year. How energising it is to be able to grow such beautiful ingredients just two steps away from the kitchen.

Spruce-ade - The welcome drink served at the start of the menu. A refreshing soft drink made with spruce & elderflower. Served along side dandelion petal fruit pastilles. We start with this & end with Hawthorn Pastilles or homemade gin chocolate truffles depending on the season.

Some of the wild foods I’ve been collecting & preserving this week to use on the menu throughout the year - spruce tips, hawthorn blossom & larch cones. I have a closed prep week each month to make things like my gin or chocolate but in May it’s all about wild ingredients
