Superb. Beautifully cooked food. All 3 courses jam packed full of wonderful flavours and quality ingredients. Jess was very welcoming and helpful. No where else in Chester can compare to the standard of cheffery.

Beautiful venue. Excellent service - professional and friendly staff - as always. The food was absolutely delicious. I would thoroughly recommend The Dovecote Restaurant at Morley Hayes. A lovely, special experience.

Torquay
Welcome to The Elephant Restaurant
The Elephant is a bright, informal restaurant which is situated near the beautiful Torbay harbour. It was the first restaurant in Torquay to be awarded a Michelin star which it maintains today. We aim to source all our ingredients locally and sustainably, many from our dedicated farm in Brixham.

Run by chef proprietor, Simon Hulstone and his wife Katy. Food is cooked by a talented team of chefs and served by friendly, professional team of staff.

Due to the style of cooking we cannot produce dairy free menus & therefore cannot provide vegan options.

A deposit is required to make reservations on special days of the year, on our special events, or for tables of 6 or more. This is paid over the phone by calling 01803 200044.

Children's menu is only available at lunch for ages 10 and under.

My husband and I recently moved to Surbiton and had frequented the cafe next door many times, great coffee, pastries, quiche. For our anniversary we tried TFT and it didn’t disappoint. The cocktails, the wine and our food were all scrumptious. I had the lamb, it was perfectly pink and the accompanying jus sauce and apricot jam were delicious. The Malbec was smoky with a blackberry finish and paired well with the lamb and my husband’s duck. Servers were thoughtful and the ambiance is cozy and low key. We are so delighted to be near this local gem, celebrating 25 years on Maple road in Surbiton. We will most certainly be back!

The Poet at Matfield
4.8 (3307)
£26 to £40
Contemporary British
Tunbridge Wells
The Poet offers an informal yet refined dining experience in the heart of Kent. Mentioned in both the Good Food Guide and Harden's, and set in a charismatic 16th century building, diners can expect food of the highest standards, made using the finest local and seasonal produce, lovingly prepared by a small team of chefs led by Head Chef & Director Lee Adams.

In addition to the food, we offer a meticulously curated wine list and innovative cocktails.

World War I poet Siegfried Sassoon lived in Matfield and is the inspiration behind the name. Sassoon was awarded the Military Cross, and later won acclaim for his writing. We're pretty sure he would have loved our food too!

A warm welcome awaits diners from Front of House Manager Mary Jane Frost and her team. We look forward to seeing you!

Due to space and storage constraints, we do not cater for the vegan diet. We also don't accept cash, nor do we accept 'outside' food such as birthday cakes.

Late cancellations / No Show - £40 pp.

Trinity

£41 and over

Clapham
Trinity reopened in October 2015 with the same ethos, culture and team whilst recreating a new and refreshing backdrop - retaining its sophistication and remaining a restaurant of significance in Clapham.
An alfresco dining area accommodates 16 guests, the dining room seating 40 guests that now have a clear view into an open plan kitchen with banquette seating surrounded by the soft hues of jade green and dusty heather pink.
Staying true to his style of cookery, the new menu will focus on Adam’s interpretation of great classics in a relaxed and approachable setting.
The kitchen presents a four course a la carte menu for a set price of £105 for lunch and £155 for dinner. The wine list continues to offer great value with the Chef's Cellar List (just add VAT and corkage), increasing both our quantity and quality and a overall extension to the main wine list of up to 400 bins now on display in the feature wine cellar on the ground floor.
