Little Barwick House Ltd

Set in three-and-a-half acres of enchanting gardens, this listed Georgian dower house has been tastefully restored by the owners to achieve a balance of period charm and modern interior design sensibilities that shows real discernment. Sumptuous fabrics, Farrow and Ball colours, huge windows overlooking the garden and terrace, and sympathetic modern touches provide an unobtrusive backdrop for fine eating and drinking, which of course, are paramount for this locally renowned restaurant with rooms. The lack of fuss and gimmickry in the cooking belies the complexity of approach and sophistication of palate that clearly indicate the touch of a highly experienced chef: subtlety and consistency are the watchwords here, backed by the use of prime, fresh seasonal ingredients. Forget undue ceremony, just enjoy the symphony of flavours created throughout this concise menu: perhaps grilled fillet of Cornish red mullet with Portland crab and a lightly infused lemongrass sauce, or maybe a rhubarb sablé finish, served with poached rhubarb, stem-ginger mousse and rhubarb sorbet.
