The Whitebrook

1. Lovely, the food is light, fulfilling and dellicately delicious. The tasting menu with wine pairing left me feeling replenished and energised rather than stuffed full.
   The staff are informative, attentive, and lovely and made our stay very enjoyable .
   The Whitebrook feels like a doorway to the wild lands that surround and nourish it. Wonderful.

2. We dined at The Whitebrook restaurant for a birthday meal. For a Michelin star restaurant, the dishes, in our opinion, lacked creativity. The vegetarian menu and standard 9 course menu were lovely, but nothing that blew our mind. We’ve been to many other 1 Michelin star restaurants that have exceeded our expectations.

   The service here was particularly poor on the evening – it took the team 20 minutes to bring each course out, so for 9 courses, we were here almost 4 hours for just a table of 2.

   It also felt as though they were under staffed, as waiters were bolting off to the kitchen to grab the dish for the next table constantly. I was served a fish dish and had to correct them that I’m a vegetarian. We also had no body topping up our water or checking if we are ok for drinks. These sound like minor points but for a place like this, I’d expect top standard service, which we certainly didn’t receive here.

   Also absolutely no atmosphere to the restaurant – there were 6 tables occupied, all in close proximity and no background music in the restaurant. Meaning conversations were overheard by all tables in an extremely intimate and quiet room. It just felt strange overall and we were keen for the experience to end so we could FINALLY get home!

3. My husband and I had their 7-course dinner, and it was absolutely sublime. All the dishes were well-balanced and clean. Even the pork dish, which could be too rich and heavy most of the time, was not. The quality of ingredients and presentation was phenomenal. I thoroughly enjoyed even the dishes with ingredients that I normally would not be fond of. That speaks to the genius of the chef who clearly knows how to combine various flavors to complement and enhance one another. The courses were also perfectly paced, and we felt pleasantly well fed by the end of it all. Honestly, the experience here is underpriced for what you’ll get. Can’t wait to return!

4. The food here is excellent , beautifully presented and prepared using many locally sourced and foraged ingredients.If you are not staying then it is in a lovely but quite remote area. The food understandably takes some time to prepare each course however you have a lot of time between courses in a rather uninspiring, quiet room with little atmosphere.

5. My partner and I came here for the 9 course tasting menu and it was absolutely fantastic. Really delicious food and incredible service! They were also understanding of my dairy intolerance as we gave them notice about it, it was nice to be included in the menu
