Description

Summary: Creative modern dishes draw depth from a kitchen garden and regional suppliers.

Roots, the little sister to the Black Swan in Oldstead, preserves an ethos of seasonality and sustainability in an attractive Arts and Crafts building. Its tasting menus evolve naturally with produce from a kitchen garden, small regional suppliers, and the family farm, delivering creative, deceptively simple dishes with depth. The wine list is well chosen and available by the glass, matching the refined, farm-to-table experience. This high-end venue remains a standout, often noted for imaginative constructions and a strong focus on provenance.
