This wasn’t unexpected – menus are available online, and the quality was generally excellent. The starters were very good and I can recommend the seared scallops. It is such a shame that they fell down with my main course – venison – which had obviously been left alone whilst the other dishes (brill, red mullet and carrot cannoli) were prepared. The result – it was cold and had to be sent back. Everyone finished their main courses and then mine arrived as it should have been in the first place, and I ate in splendid isolation. Desserts were all delicious, and the wines on offer are extremely reasonably priced (for a restaurant) The Sous chef then arrived to enquire about our experience and I had to note my reservations – if you have Michelin star hopes you cannot make mistakes like this. It didn’t ruin the experience, but tainted it slightly, and at this price, well, you expect a little slice of perfection. Mostly it was. The strudel with raisin ice cream, almond crumble and cider reduction was almost a bargain at under £10 (same price as one glass of Macon Lugny Burgundy) So close to excellent, but sorry I have to take off a star. read less

Tasting menu is tasty Steak was amazing, went for my girlfriends birthday and did the tasting menu. The chef came out at the end to chat, was very nice

Exceptional value Superb food and service. We had the taster menu and the wine flight and it was exceptional, particularly for the price. Heartily recommended

The technique is classical but the dishes on the appealing menu are not standard or banal, and the chefs can really extract the flavours from their ingredients. The only slightly disappointing dish was a brill, with some woody/stringy greens and the fish itself unfortunately having a rather dry texture. But all the rest was really nice: a Jerusalem artichoke soup with white onion and yeast foam, another starter of perfectly seared scallops coming with various delicacies, and a main of grouse, the breast finished on coals, the confit leg, Albert sauce and bread sauce, game chips and braised cabbage with pancetta. The desserts were super: a rather complex chocolate one, featuring many items among which a superb and intense chestnut cremeux stood out; and a “pannacotta” (the texture was not that of a pannacotta, but it was delicious!) with a goat curd’s sorbet, frangipane biscuit and rhubarb. Service was friendly and energetic. Prices for food are rather full, considering that portions are restrained, that there is no complimentary item whatsoever -unusual in this type of restaurant- and that a 12.5% service is added to the bill, but definitely not extortionate. And wine prices are friendlier. The wine list is not overly inspiring but can be described as “functional and affordable”. The room is bright and pleasant. read less

I started with Jerusalem artichoke soup with white onion and yeast foam which was out of this world. I chose grouse breast, confit leg, braised cabbage with pancetta and pine nut, Albert sauce, bread sauce cream and game chips. The bird was the most tender game I have had for a very long time and the flavours were heavenly. My dessert was apple Strudel with crème pâtissière, golden raisin ice cream, brown butter almond crumble and apple cider reduction. Everything on the plate was delectable. Chef owner Conrad is a maestro! read less

If we lived closer we would visit every month, we do, however, try to get there for every new menu. We have tried a restaurant rated higher in Trip Advisor and were so disappointed, The Chef’s Table deserves to be in the top three at the very least. It is only a small restaurant but so friendly, a great team of staff in front of house and if you are lucky enough to be able to see the kitchen it is clear that there is also a great team at work there. We always have the tasting menu as it means you sometimes eat food you would not necessarily choose. The flavours and quality of cooking is perfection on a plate. It is not pretentious and, in our opinion the prices are very fair – great value for money. We have not tried the wine flight as we prefer a bottle of wine to accompany the meal. However, the wine flight is not anywhere near as expensive as many other places. To sum up, it is our “very happy place” – we just love it. read less

We had eaten here a while back and had booked our son and girlfriend in for the tasting menu with wine flight which we all thoroughly enjoyed then. Last night was no exception and was absolutely wonderful. From drinks outside to start with to the tasting menu which we went for. The dishes were absolutely sublime and the flavour pairings were just to die for. The staff here are incredibly welcoming and take the time to make you feel very welcomed and valued. It is not a cheap night so for us it is a special occasion visit which makes it all the more special. Definitely recommend, even if you only ever go here once, you will not regret it. Very unpretentious unlike how some fine dining restaurants can be. Will definitely be back in the future. read less

The experience in a whole was amazing – we enjoyed a cocktail outside first as it was scorching hot, when our table was ready we weren’t rushed inside.
The service was impeccable – all the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly willing to go the extra mile where possible.
All the food was incredibly fresh, can watch the chefs working in the kitchen making every element perfectly.
Each course was delicate in it’s own separate way and went together beautifully.
At the end of the night the chefs including head chef Conrad came out to have a chat and asked if we enjoyed our meal

Melt-in-the mouth beef, wonderful fish and shellfish, all tasty and interesting. The only course (out of the six we greedily tried between us) that wasn’t as great as the others was one of the desserts. When I mentioned it, (by way of feedback, not criticism, as the rest of the food was so delicious) it was immediately left off the bill. We will definitely be back – though the full restaurant on a Weds night explained why we had to book ahead. Chefs popped out regularly to chat to customers – nice to see that interaction.
