Food is always excellent at this small restaurant! Overall, the fixed price for the small menu is very reasonable. We had booked upstairs, and service was great to start - if, perhaps a little too quick, but that's because it was quiet and early. Service then slowed, but not from a lack of staff, more from the restricted space. It's the first time we noticed the noise levels.

About the restaurant

MICHELIN Green Star | Bib Gourmand | At Pythouse Kitchen Garden, you'll find an idyllic atmosphere in which to enjoy fantastic food. We offer covered outdoor seating in our glorious garden and indoor seating in the conservatory and potting shed. Pythouse Kitchen Garden is a lunchtime destination only at present.

Head chef Darren Broom's passion lies in producing food with an unmistakable sense of terroir. For Darren, provenance is not just the backstory to his ingredients, it’s everywhere in the look, feel and taste of his food.

We are keen to champion our own produce first and foremost, providing guests with a unique and ever-changing insight into the seasons. We work closely with the garden team to manage and maintain the garden and to deliver a programme of regeneration and sustainability.

This is a special place to spend time over lunch with friends. It is quiet with a beautiful garden you can wander around, and a fabulous menu of local produce, much from that garden -and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Really nice food, sirloin roast and burgers were fantastic. Friendly staff. Could do with more puddings on offer. Little pricey on the cans of beer.
