The Moorcock Inn restaurant reviews

Google Reviews

Average rating: 4.7
Latest review:

The Moorcock is one of a kind, a unique dining experience where the chef creates dishes from his own imagination. He uses ingredients grown in his own kitchen garden, foraged locally or supplied by very local farmers; and there's a lot of pickling, preserving, smoking and BBQ. The bar has a wide range of craft beers (again mostly local but some from further afield including Belgium), a selection of sake, and a very interesting wine list. Everything we ordered with delicious in its own way, and we just have to come back several times to taste the rest of the menu. Very highly recommended!

Our review of The Moorcock Inn (May 2019)

It's fair to say the The Moorcock Inn has flown a little bit under the radar as far as the major food guides go. Despite very favourable reviews from the local and indeed national press, and overwhelmingly positive Tripadvisor feedback too, only Michelin have even given the place a sniff (and even then, bestowed just the horribly ambiguous plate award) since it was relaunched by duo Aimee Turford and Alisdair Brooke-Taylor in early 2018. Not that the lack of guide recognition worried me whatsoever, I was still very much expecting an interesting meal as I made the not-inconsiderable trip with my wife for dinner on a gloriously sunny Friday evening in May....
