we love food

Food is our passion… what we serve to you and your guests we want to be as inspiring as the service at your table and the atmosphere we create.

Our award-winning Executive Head Chef, Chris Burt grew up cooking in the kitchens of his mother’s huge restaurant in West Africa, then went on to train at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons and The Savoy. 

 
Chris and his team handpick every ingredient used in our restaurant, from the meat to the veg, to the spices, to the wines that we cook with and serve to you.  All our produce is sourced locally - supporting Shropshire's farming communities - wherever possible.

Our Head Chef, Matt Parry developed his love for food at an early age, thanks to his parents.  Matt has been cooking professionally for 16 years, worked in numerous establishments, having done most of his training living and working in Northern Italy.  His passion is with contemporary bistro style European and Asian cuisine, using the best local fresh ingredients.

"Cooking for me is a way to show my love for the job, preparing a meal gives me time to reflect, concentrate and create".

We would describe our food in general terms as modern cuisine, and we don't leave anyone out with a number of vegetarian, vegan, coeliac (wheat-free), lactose (dairy-free)  and even healthy options - for guests with either a lifestyle choice or those with specific dietary requirements.
