For many years, William had wanted to open his own restaurant & finally he has. "The Cart Shed".Showcasing the best of local and seasonal food, much of which will have been produced on the family farm, but we aim not to travel more than 10 miles for any of our ingredients (except for the odd exotic like lemons for your G&T).We have rejuvenated the horticultural side of the farm. Along with poultry, quail and squab pigeons the farm is providing much of the food served in the restaurant.William & his friends will also be out with their guns & fishing rods to provide a little wild meat for the table such as venison, partridge, trout not to mention the humble wood pigeon and rabbit.After a couple of years of interruption caused by COVID & life things are now back to normal with a new team & a newly refurbished restaurant.We look forward to seeing you all soon.

    I met my friend for breakfast/brunch and had we had a lovely table by the river. I had a Popeye smoothie which was fab and a Chai latte. I wasn’t feeling crazy hungry and thought I was choosing something smaller by choosing the croque madame, which I added spinach to. In my mind this was going to be a relatively small croissant with cheese and spinach. It was actually 2 huge bits of brioche smothered in a lovely sauce and cheese and poached eggs as well as the spinach. I could literally only eat one of them. If you’re hungry definitely go for it. This was my second visit and I will definitely be back.

    A small establishment with freshly cooked fine foods. Not a big menu, but the choice you get, you know will be freshly sourced and cooked. The staff are very friendly and ensure you feel comfortable.
