Cooking shaped by the landscape

At The Whitebrook, our cooking begins with the landscape around us.

Set deep within the Wye Valley, our restaurant takes inspiration from the woodlands, hedgerows, streams and kitchen gardens that surround us. What grows here, what we gather and what the changing seasons provide all help shape our menus.

Our approach is rooted in the character of this remarkable place, combining carefully grown and foraged ingredients with exceptional produce from trusted farmers, fishermen and growers.

A different expression of the tasting menu

Our menus deliberately celebrate vegetables, herbs, leaves, fruits and woodland ingredients with the same care and attention traditionally given to fish and meat.

The opening courses explore the garden and surrounding landscape, before progressing through carefully sourced fish and meat, and finishing with desserts inspired by the flavours of the season.

Preserving, fermenting, smoking and cooking over fire allow us to explore ingredients in different ways, capturing the character of the Wye Valley throughout the year.

Rather than following a conventional tasting-menu format, each course is part of a journey through the landscape and the season.
