The Thorold

This rustic and rural restaurant in the Vale of Belvoir is located on the farmstead where Chef-Owner Richard grew up, divided across two buildings constructed using reclaimed materials from the farm. The menu takes a surprise tasting format, with an extended series of generous, heartily flavoured courses that often involve cooking over wood. Richard’s cuisine is informed by his surroundings, with game and kitchen-garden vegetables playing a particularly big role. The wine list has a similar ethos, with natural, organic and bio-dynamic options.
