Sorrel Restaurant

Thank you team for a wonderful evening! The food was sensational. Everyone, in particular Francesca, Antonio and Alex Payne were so welcoming, knowledgeable and professional. The wine pairings were beautiful, the courses fascinating, and the team really went above and beyond to ensure an excellent experience for us. Thank you for taking the time to speak with us and show us the kitchen too, this experience made our evening so memorable. I came here with my Mother as a joint birthday celebration and it was truly one to remember. We look forward to returning again soon. Thanks again team!

Our first visit to Sorrel, the venue is a lovely 17th century building where the original character has been retained in a tasteful manner, setting a great ambiance to enjoy your meal. We were welcomed by Antonio, the front of house who came across as a very pleasant, professional and helpful chap who demonstrated his knowledge of the courses throughout the meal. Like the other staff he was attentive without being overbearing and was easy to engage in general conversation. The food was absolutely divine, I understand that the owner Steve has now taken a back seat and handed over to new Executive Chef Alex Payne and after enjoying this meal I feel sure that Steve can feel confident that Sorrel is in safe hands. The courses were presented by a combination of the chefs and waiting staff who clearly take pride in imparting their knowledge of each dish upon the customers. Each course was thoroughly enjoyed by both of us, presentation of all the dishes was a work of art well deserving of pictures in an art gallery. A particular highlight was the scallop course where the sauce perfectly complimented the scallop together with the tiny mushrooms and various form of caviar creating an explosion of flavour and different textures in your mouth, simply heaven in the mouth! The first course was a lobster tart, again absolutely delicious followed by “Jammy Dodgers” but made from something very different and tasting nothing like you’d expect so playing games with your mind. The bread course was another highlight, with wonderful flavours and so soft bread melting in your mouth. The turbot was cooked perfectly with a very smooth rich sauce and cauliflower mouse to accompany it. The desserts were a great way to finish the meal, the “Knights of Windsor” strawberry dessert was accompanied by very light lemon sorbet which freshened the palate. The following chocolate dessert was presented picture perfect and incredibly smooth in the mouth. The last course ended with “Deja View” a fitting end to a wonderful meal. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable experience that we look forward to revisiting again, highly recommended.

We had a truly wonderful evening of food wine and indulging in new tasting experiences! Having ordered the discovery menu which consists of a variety of small tasting plates , you think you we’ll never be full , but believe me you are very content with the amount of food you have consumed ! Poppy our waitress was spot on , explaining every dish with great excitement that gave you the feeling of wanting to eat it !! Francesca the sommelier was of great help encouraging you to try different wines with out being too over bearing, that can sometimes be the case ! She is definitely worth listening to ! It was never going to be cheap but worth every penny !! I also appreciated the fact that service was not added to my bill giving me the option to pay what I felt was reasonable ! ! Thank you for making our evening special !!

First time visit, from the moment we walked in it was amazing. The new head chef Alex has created a menu which was superb - I hadnt looked beforehand so I wasnt sure what to expect and it didnt disappoint. Some of the dishes I have never had before so it was exciting experiencing them, we also did the matching wine list and that was also outstanding. The location, setting and staff are amazing. We will be back

A great place for a special occasion - lovely food, wonderful service and a great atmosphere. We especially loved the scallop, pork belly, venison, oh and the beef snack (pic 4)! My only small feedback is the portion sizes were very small (and we have eaten at a lot of Michelin restaurants), but it's sort of to be expected (I will never understand why though!), and the courses came a bit faster than we wanted. Listing bread as one of the courses also didn't seem quite right. But overall a great experience and we would recommend it for a special occasion.

Absolutely stunning! The food, the service and the atmosphere were amazing. One of the best meals we have ever eaten.

Had an amazing night at Sorrel. We enjoyed the tasting menu with paired wines. Antonio and Francesca were magnificent looking after us. Both the food (I am gluten free) and wine, were top notch, and Chef Alex Payne even took a few minutes to speak with us. Will 100% be returning.

We have had the best experience at this restaurant the food was exceptional the service was outstanding we were made to feel so special and wanted I would highly recommend this restaurant we had a wonderful evening
