Self-taught chef James Sherwin’s dream came true when he opened this endearing restaurant that’s the epitome of field-to-fork dining. Micro-seasonal produce is grown on their Wild Shropshire farm before being fashioned into a daily changing surprise menu for a maximum of 14 guests. There’s a Japanese influence throughout the harmoniously flavoured dishes, including ingredients like furikake, koji and yuzu, as well as a sake pairing. The passionate, welcoming team offer lovely, personable service.

In the spot where there was once a 16C coaching inn, now sits this smart, modern gastropub hidden away in the Shropshire countryside. A welcoming and homely atmosphere accompanies stylishly presented food that’s full of hearty flavours. The menu is rooted in English classics with occasional international influences, and some of the produce could scarcely be more local, coming from the gardens of nearby Hodnet Hall.
