Harden's survey result
Summary
“An excellent addition to the Bruton food scene” – this unpretentious farm-to-table restaurant from former River Cottage alum’ Sam Lomas has banished the ghost of former incumbent Osip, now located out of town, taking over the dining room of this attractive Georgian hotel in summer 2024 (the huge stone fireplace and earthy décor nod to its past as an ironmonger’s). The food is “based on small plates (plus snacks, sharing dishes and proper puds) using carefully sourced ingredients”, and it’s all “absolutely delicious and extremely good value for money” too.

"An interesting menu of tapas-style small plates meant for sharing, giving a chance to taste most of what’s on offer. Focussed on local and seasonal ingredients. Charming and efficient staff. Pleasant surroundings. Highly recommend a visit"
"Small but perfectly formed - both the restaurant (part of Number One Bruton) and the meal. Fresh and local sourced food - unpretentious and delicious. "
