Woodfired Dining

Exceptional flavours, fuelled by fire

As one of the only restaurants in the UK where every dish is smoked or cooked by woodfire, The Wellhouse is an intrepid flavour adventure. A truly social occasion with a menu designed for sharing, plus local wines, ales, Lainston’s own sparkling cider and our homegrown cocktails – including ‘shandygaffs’, a forgotten (but delicious!) English shandy. 

Set in the original, listed wellhouse building, this rustic-luxe setting is the perfect spot for a relaxed dinner, or a fabulous party for those who choose to book the entire restaurant exclusively.

Opening Times

Monday to Saturday– 6.30pm to 9.30pm 
Sunday lunch – 12pm to 2:30pm
