The Avenue
A fresh take on flavour
Welcome to The Avenue, where a focus on fantastic flavour combinations and doing things a little differently, sits at the heart of what we do. BBC MasterChef: The Professionals Winner 2023, Tom Hamblet takes the helm as Head Chef, working with his team to celebrate seasonality with the finest quality produce, much of which is British, and even as local as our very own kitchen garden.
Your palate will rejoice as it's taken on a flavour exploration through a multiple-course tasting menu featuring snacks, starters, mains, desserts and even some extras if you can squeeze them in!
Book our Chef's Table to experience something extraordinary — up to 6 guests dining in the heart of The Avenue kitchen, with each tasting menu course prepared right before your eyes.
The Avenue is for adult diners and children aged 12 and over. Guide dogs are the only four-legged friends allowed, and we’d love for you to put away your phones and enjoy the wonderful fine-dining ambience.
This is also where we serve breakfast.
We're super excited to announce The Avenue is currently undergoing a bit of a makeover, to reopen with a new menu, new offering and Tom Hamblet as Head Chef on 27th November.
You can dine during refurbishment in our fabulous restaurant fuelled by fire, The Wellhouse, and we are now taking bookings for 27th November onwards at The Avenue.
