A week later, and we’re still vividly recalling the flavours, aromas, and artistry of every dish we experienced at Hide and Fox. The 8-course tasting menu is the kind of culinary journey that stays with you—refined, imaginative, and deeply memorable.
The Orkney scallops with caviar were an early standout— delicate and perfectly balanced. The East Kent lamb (personal favourite) was a masterclass in complexity, its subtle smokiness and depth of flavour truly captivating. Earthy morels in a delicate consommé, vibrant Wye Valley asparagus followed—each dish more thoughtful than the last. The Comté soufflé was indulgent and perfectly executed, leading into a dessert course that was nothing short of divine: a citrus-lifted buttermilk mousse with arbequina olive oil, followed by an ethereal Yorkshire rhubarb and white chocolate parfait—light, floral, and exquisitely balanced.
A bottle of crisp, expressive white Burgundy accompanied our meal beautifully. The ambiance at Hide and Fox is both intimate and sophisticated, with warm, attentive service that enhances the experience without ever feeling overbearing.
While the menu is firmly rooted in modern
British cuisine, there are subtle Italian influences and a certain creative kinship with Fordwich Arms, which we visited last Christmas. Hide and Fox stands elegant, thoughtful, and unforgettable. We will definitely come back!
