THE TABLE AT DE MEYE

BEST FOR Lazy wineland family lunches. FOOD This unassuming farm-to-table restaurant, run by

Jess Shepherd and her husband Luke Grant, delivers every single time. Their veggies and herbs come from their own abundant garden, while every other ingredient comes from a nearby neighbour. It’s because of this seasonality that Jess’s menu changes weekly. Starters could include a twice-baked cheese soufflé with a perfectly dressed garden salad or a tomato tart with heavenly pastry. For mains, look forward to slow-cooked lamb shoulder or beef shin with a potato bake. Desserts could be a perfectly jiggly panna cotta or plum and frangipane tart. Everything comes sharing-style, except for desserts. DRINKS Only De Meye wines; a select choice of local MCCs and local craft beers. SERVICE The front of house team is equal parts professional, efficient and laid-back. AMBIENCE Relax under the trees in summer; during winter, grab a cosy spot next to the fireplace. (JS)
